The Qur’an contains verses endowed with profound and complex meanings. Some exegetes and scholars in the field of Qur’anic studies believe that the science of interpretation systematizes this complexity and facilitates deeper understanding. Exegesis, in turn, engages with the various facets or dimensions of the Qur’an. The present paper employs an analytical–comparative method to investigate the issue of Buṭūn of the Qur’an (the inward meanings of the Qur’an) and the emergence of new dimensions within Qur’anic verses, while also applying the characteristics of fractal dimensions to the concept of Baṭn (inward meaning).By utilizing the newly articulated dimensions framed within scientific and political Laffāfeh (envelope) under the Buṭūn of the Qur’an, and by applying the properties of fractal geometry to the Qur’an’s inward meanings (Buṭūn), the presence of such dimensions can be more readily identified. Thus, it can be argued that the Buṭūn of the Qur’an constitute the dimensions of the Qur’an that necessitate its profound conceptual depth. As time progresses and advancements are made, human understanding increasingly reveals that the Qur’an, by virtue of these dimensions, has not only remained relevant throughout all eras but has also continuously offered meanings contingent upon humanity’s level of understanding, shaped by the achievements and advancements of each age. This profound comprehension stems from God’s attribute as the Knower of the Unseen (ʿālim al-ghayb).
