One of the challenges in translating the eloquent passages of the Qur'an into other languages ​​is the literal format. Sometimes this style of translation in eloquent expressions leads to moving away from the divine purpose. The style of "Ma Adraka Ma..." is one of the rhetorical styles that translators have faced challenges in conveying its divine meaning to other languages. This semi-frozen phrase has a special meaning that only paying attention to its literal meaning causes other aspects of this type of dialect to be neglected. The present research has analyzed 45 translations of the Quran from the third century to the contemporary era using library sources using analytical-descriptive method and it is based on The most chosen state of faithfulness to the divine meaning can be achieved in the translation of the phrase "Ma Adraka Ma". The results show that the most expressive translation is "What made you aware that.... What is it" which can be considered as a communicative translation of the Qur'an. Some translators have kept the translation faithful to the divine purpose, but most of them have made mistakes in terms of morphology, syntax and attention to the unity of this .

Virgin Mary (pbuh) is one of the pure and specially chosen ones of God whom the Holy Qur'an has introduced as the example of the people of faith. Paying more attention and investigation to the rare authorities and dignities that have been drawn for that noble person in the Quranic verses will make it clearer to know more about them and to discover the reasons for this disgrace. In this regard, the main goal of this research is a detailed investigation of the authorities and dignities mentioned for His Holiness in the divine word.This research was done in an analytical-comparative way, and in its text, the views and opinions of prominent Qur'anic commentators and thinkers - especially the authors of Tasnim and Al-Mizan commentaries - were paid attention to. In a general view, the set of authorities and dignities drawn for Hazrat Maryam in the Quranic verses are as follows: the status of Hazrat Maryam; His Majesty's role as a teacher and role model; The position of total worship; the position of purity and innocence; The position of satisfaction and submission to disasters;

Assessing religiosity as one of the important topics in the sociology of religion can help a lot in policy-making and planning, especially in religious communities. In addition, a correct and scientific assessment of the level of religiosity can correct various ideas about the status of religion and the religious practice of the government in the country. The rate of reading the Qur'an is one of the indicators that show the religious status. In this research, by using the mixed research method and also using the survey method at the national level, an attempt has been made to carefully study and measure the indicators of the development of Quranic culture in the country. The sample size was 1500 people who were sampled by gender, religion, place of residence, level of education and age. Examining the data obtained from the study, the following results have been obtained: There is a significant relationship between gender and the amount of Quran recited by individuals. There is a direct relationship between the level of education and daily reading of the Qur'an and understanding the meaning of the verses. There is a significant relationship between religion and the amount of people reading the Qur'an.

Different verses of the Holy Quran, have been revealed in the occasions of revelation (asbāb al-nuzūl); and each portion for specific "addressees"; Therefore, it is necessary to discover the meaning of the verses based on their occasions of revelation and considering different types of audiences. For this purpose, the present article studies the mechanism of addressing and signification in the Quran, using the approach of "applied semantics" and "linguistic signification". Therefore, to understand a portion of revelation, it is worth considering factors such as the "speaker" and the "orator" of the Quran, and its "audiences"; also observing the role of "specific" and "general" addresses. The present article shows that: 1. the verses of the Quran have different levels of meaning and, 2. the audiences of it include different types; In other words, each portion of the Quran has been created based on the understanding of its audiences. Therefore, not everyone except the "true scholars of the Quran" can comprehend the exact meaning of all the verses of the Quran. Finally, it proves the necessity of referring to the "scholars of the Quran" (the Holy Prophet and the Ahl al-Bayt PBUT) for the specific and general audiences of the Quran.

In verses 30 to 33 of Q 38, the Holy Quran mentions the story of Solomon and the horses. The interpretation of these verses and the explanation of the semantic link between them, as well as the relationship between the actions of the story and the actor of the story, Solomon, have faced exegetes with challenges. In the current research, to explain this story and understand its central homiletical and didactic doctrine, intertextual reading on three levels has been carried out: Jewish religious texts (including the Old Testament, Mishnah, and Midrash), pre-Islamic poems, and the Qur'an. According to the findings of current research, the doctrine of monotheism has been emphasized in this story. Solomon, the hero of the story, seeing noble galloping horses that were considered a powerful weapon in ancient times, perceived the power of horses, for a short moment, to be independent of God's will and considered them to be effective by themselves. Considering horses as an independent source of power causes him to fall in love with them and consequently neglects the remembrance of God.According to the results of this research, Solomon's action to free his soul from this preoccupation is giving away his beloved property, horses.

The story of Ibrahim (pbuh) is one of the stories of the Qur'an which is narrated in many Meccan and Medinan suras.Since Abraham (pbuh) is the founder of monotheistic religions and the ancestor of monotheists, her character in the Holy Quran and the Holy Book has been the focus of many researchers.The basis of the current research is the comparison of the Meccan and Medinanversions of the Holy Quran's account of the story of Abraham (pbuh) and her family.The result of this comparison is that some aspects of this story are specific to Meccan surahs and some to Medinan surahs. Some are also common between these two groups of surahs and there is only a difference in their content.The difference between the developments of the Meccan and Medinan surahs in most cases is connected with the atmosphere of revelation of these two groups of surahs and the atmosphere governing the two cities of Mecca and Medina. Of course, the role of the audience cannot be denied either.
