Paying attention to the context is one of the principles of methodical interpretation of the Qur'an and one of its best methods. Verses 15 to 20 of Surah Zokhrof are among the verses where the difference in understanding the context has caused differences in the understandings of commentators. Most of the commentators consider verse 18 to be the word of Almighty God and some commentators consider it to be the word of disbelievers. The present research has explained and analyzed these two opinions. It seems that the examination of semantic continuity or discontinuity in the mentioned verses invalidates the thought of many commentators and considers the attributes mentioned in the verse as arising from the thought of unbelievers. The present study, by comparative-analytical method, after explaining and analyzing the opinions of commentators with regard to connected and separate evidences, aims to state the invalidity of the theory of the first group according to the context and consider the verse to be the expression of the thoughts of the disbelievers.

The present article has looked at the issue of comprehensiveness with a descriptive-analytical method for explaining the Qur'anic rational education and expressing the Qur'an's view in combining religion and intellect. In fact, Qur'an has paid attention to train thought in the audiences in various ways. This book, throughout wisdom, accepts neither extreme rationalism nor anti-rationalism; Quranic rational education is focused at the widest audience and with all aspects of rationality. In this research, rational education has been studied in all three dimensions of rationality. It seems that all these types have been trained in the Qur'an. Fundamental rationality with Qur'anic arguments and rationality of values with criticism of incorrect insights and methods and presentation of moral examples and practical models and instrumental rationality with its special conditions have been considered by Qur'anic education; This is a clear example of the comprehensiveness of this noble book.

The Quran is to guide all the generations as the Almighty God says: "Blessed is He Who hath revealed onto His slave the criterion (for right and wrong), that he may be a warner to the peoples” (al- Forqan, 1). In this Divine book, which is for the eternal guidance of mankind, every word has been used on the basis of an important reason but a review of the existing translations of the Quran seems to reveal that some of them are not efficient enough to help us understand the language of revelation and enjoy it. Using an analytical and comparative method, the authors of the present article have evaluated the translations of the last verse of Surah Yuuf and on the basis of theological, recitational and narrative perspectives, they have found out the flaws of some translations in rendering the message of the statement, «و ظنوا انهم قد کذبوا» (and suspected that they were denied). In fact, the interpreters and translators who have given such translations have tried to justify their work on the basis of some disputed hadiths. Examining the differences of recitation and recitational proofs, the authors have concluded that such translations cannot be justified on the basis of any kind of recitation and, hence, have rejected them.
