The infallibility of prophets is one of the basic beliefs of Muslims, but its scope is a matter of dispute. One of the disputed verses in this regard is Prophet Shoaib’s threat in the verse “or else you shall come back into our religion” (Ibrahim: 13), the interpretation of which to mean return to the religion of the disbelievers is a challenge to Shiite beliefs and requires serious analysis because the general Shiites believe that the prophets were infallible in all periods of their lives. In this study, the exegetive viewpoints have been examined through a comparative method and it becomes clear that in the analysis and justification of the aforementioned challenge, the exegetes have said that the meaning of return (ʿowd) in the verse in question is Prophet Shoaib entering the religion of the disbelievers and agreeing with them, is an explanation of the illusion of the disbelievers, and the domination and generalization of the ruling of the majority for the general and transformation. ʿOwd, meaning transformation, can be acceptable despite some caveats. Most of the exegetes have taken ʿowd to mean return, however, they have refused to accept such a meaning. From the point of view of this article, ʿowd is acceptable in the sense of return, with the explanation that Prophet Shoaib followed the religion of the previous Prophet along with his people in the period before his prophethood. Only Ibn Taymiyyah, in contrast to Sunni and Shiite exegetes, has insisted on the committing of sins by the prophets without citing the text of the verse.

Different religions have tackled the issue of natural disasters, considering them the result of people’s sins, holy action, and tools used by God to punish people. These beliefs will keep people reluctant to do anything to respond well to disasters since they believe that nothing could or should be done. Of course, the Holy Quran advises believers to stay cautious about disaster risks and try to lessen them. Thus, this research aims to investigate the verses of the Holy Quran about disaster risk management to correct religious beliefs about this topic.

A qualitative study was conducted. First, verses of Holy Quran related to disasters were identified through a search in Quran’s text, translation, and interpretation. Data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis.

82 of verses were included in the analysis after evaluating their content. The results were divided into two categories: readiness, and prevention and vulnerability reduction.

This research confirms that Islam has paid much attention to disaster readiness and prevention. This issue has been stated in Holy Quran with many examples and suggestions. Precise reflection in these verses can have a notable influence on changing the views and beliefs of society members, and these verses are proof of the policies, actions, and plans that humanity has reached after years of experience against hazards.

The "the simplicity of the reality (al-ḥaqīqa) of all things and the licks of something from them" rule is one of the most important topics Theology in particular that Mulla Sadra claims that no one other than Plotinus and he found out about it. And also the development of this rule, what philosophical problems has it solved and what achievements has it brought about in Sadra’s philosophy? Considering that this rule can be understood in the realm of unity in plurality and the realm of plurality in unity, this article is based on it by proving that Mulla Sadra, in understanding the principle of this rule, is indebted to the verses, hadiths, and intuitions of mystics in both realm, has tried to expose the development of this rule among the philosophers before Mulla Sadra to criticism and analysis in a descriptive and analytical method. Therefore; Plotinus tried to express the content of this rule in both realms. But Farabi, Suhrawardi and Mirdamad played a role in the development of this rule only in the realm of plurality in unity, ignoring their foundations. Also, Mulla Sadra and his followers have used this rule in both realms in the course of the development of the Transcendent theosophy in many cases, such as the relationship between the God and its knowledge, or the relationship between the soul and its powers.

Since the purpose of the Qurʾān is to promote the Worldly and Otherworldly Life of mankind, and nourish the human soul and body in all dimensions, we should consult this holy book in all aspects of our lives. However, some Shia and Sunni scholars believe that the implication of the Qurʾān is speculative. The present study seeks to determine the correct view of the definitive (qaṭʿī) and the speculative textual implication of Qurʾān. If we examine and explain the definitiveness of the usage-based intentions of speakers and, in most cases, the definitiveness of real intentions, adopt a holistic view of the verses, consider different sorts of verses (perspicuous (muhkam), intricate (mutashābih), etc.), and focus on the expressive miracle of the Word of God, then we might conclude that the word of revelation (i.e. the Qurʾān) enjoys a definitive implication, barring the intricate verses the interpretation of which no one knows except those who are firmly grounded in knowledge (al-rāsikhūn fi l-ʿilm). There are no doubts about the meanings of Quranic words more often than not.

Some of the narrations of revelation occasions in Shiite exegeses do not have a Shiite source and have been transferred from Sunni sources to Shiite commentaries. Considering the position and role of the narrations of revelation occasions, as separate evidences in understanding the Quranic verses, it is necessary to carefully examine the criteria for identifying them, because knowing the authenticity and criteria for identifying these narrations has a serious effect on their acceptance, denial and critique. The present article, by inducing and analyzing interpretive and narrative sources and reflecting on the content of some narrations of revelation occasions transmitted to the Shiite exegeses, finally discovers four criteria for recognizing these narrations, with each of which the transmission of such narrations from Sunnis to Shiite interpretations is possible. These criteria are as follows: the acknowledgment of some exegetes quoting a narration from Sunni sources, historical precedence of a narration in the first Sunni sources, existence of specific Sunni narrators in the chain of transmission, and the content compatibility of a narration with the specific beliefs of the Sunnis.

The present study seeks to examine the Qur'anic documentation of the awakening of human society based on the innate unity of human beings.(Problem) the leading article tries to explain and study this matter by using the library filing method and quoting verses and narrations,(Method)paying attention to natural brotherhood and brotherhood among human beings results in the awakening of humanity and innate unity on a large international scale.(Hypothesis) The Qur'an emphasizes the unity of human beings by attributing them to a single parent, being a single nation, on the unity of human beings at the level of humanity. In the Holy Quran, the word brother is used absolutely in relation to the brotherhood of the believer and the polytheist and the believers together, in such a way that the Messenger of God calls the disobedient and polytheistic people his brother. The attention and emphasis of the Holy Qur'an on this issue strengthens the brotherhood and relationship of brotherhood between human beings, their innate love and natural unity and this kind of unity is inalienable and universal. The attention of different governments of the world to issue, interaction and communication combined with security, provides the ground for the growth and development of human societies and this unity will be a platform for the manifestation of monotheism and common religious beliefs.(Findings)

It is essential to understand the exact meanings of the terminologies of any scientific discussion. One of the scientific discussions of Mahdaviat is the sings of Advent which relate to the events occurring before the Advent of Imam Mahdi (AS). The present descriptive-analytical study sought to investigate the terminologies of the sings of Advent and their meanings. The data were collected through library research.

Just as the human body needs to be kept healthy and in inflicted bu diseases, human soul also needs attentionwhen the body suffers from mental and moral diseases. In Imam Ali's point of view, preventing diseases is important for physical health, but more important than physical illness is the spiritual illness that travels painlessly and quietly. The purpose of this study is to investigate the therapeutic ethics of Imam Ali's statements based on Nahj al-Balagha.

This study is analytical/library-based and analyzes the key words like moral maladies, physical maladies, and spiritual maladies in Imam Ali's statements in Nahj al-Balagha, interpretations of Nahj al-Balagha, and narrative books related to Imam's words, like Tuhaf al-Uqul, Exalted aphorisms and Pearls of Speech, Uyoun Al-Hakam and Al-Mavaez. The authors have not reported any conflicts of interest.

The findings indicate that in Imam Ali's point of view, along with physical illnesses, moral and spiritual illnesses also make man ill and that this type of disease is even worse than physical illness; ethical models, the sense of the presence of the Righteous in life, and the use of divine revelations, revive the patient's sense of hope and optimism.

By examining Imam Ali's words in Nahj al-Balagha and other related narrative books, it found that human is a creature with both a material and immaterial nature and his perfection depends on spiritual development and acquisition of moral virtues. It was also found that in addition to physical illnesses, moral illnesses can also be treated and that Imam has been paying more attention to the moral dimension than the physical dimension, and most of his statements have been in line with the treatment of illnesses related to human's moral dimension.

The knowledge of semantics and theoretical vocabulary in the Qur'an is one of the important techniques that considered as sub-branches of interpretation. This knowledge explains the meaning of Qur'anic terms like peer. Throughout the history of the Qur'anic sciences, various works, have been written on this subject. The authors of these works have used different rules for interpreting the Qur'anic vocabulary, but, except in very few cases, none have discussed the rules of this knowledge separately. In this article, some of the most important rules of this knowledge are study by descriptive-analytical method and by inductive method. Finally, its related rules are extract in two textual sections (rule of contradiction, rhetorical rules, context, rhetoric for the spirit of meaning, and rule of knowing objects with antithesis) and extramarital rules (such as vocabulary and descent).

The aim of this study is to compare the etiquette of sleeping from the perspective of Islam and health sciences.

The method of this descriptive-analytical study is to collect information from Shia and authentic interpretations and sources of narration and scientific research, which deals with the comparative study of religious rites of sleeping in Islamic teachings and psychology.
