The classification of feminine and masculine in the Arabic language does not have the necessary efficiency to identify the symbolic dimensions of linguistic gender in the Qur'an; Because, firstly, the duality of Majaz/Haghigha and secondly, the position of use is the determining factor in this classification. But what is important in understanding the Qur'an is the human gender and the connection of the Qur'an with gender as a basic component of human life. One of the most fundamental issues facing the understanding of the Qur'an has been the ambiguity and the degree of significance of linguistic elements in it. Therefore, it seems that we need a classification that can identify the elements of language in terms of their relationship with the human race, and their symbolic status and ambiguity in the Holy Qur'an. Therefore, based on the distinction between biological and linguistic gender, the presence or absence of ambiguity and the distinction between the meaning relationship of ambiguous elements, we have identified and classified different types of linguistic gender in the Qur'an as follows: a) Linguistic biological gender b) Pure linguistic gender c) Indeterminate Linguistic gender : C-1) Indeterminate gender of different meanings C-2)Indeterminate gender of non-different meanings C-3) Absolute indefinite gender.

This article analyzes the philosophical relationship between reason, faith, and insight in the Holy Quran and their impacts on Islamic educational and ethical systems. The main objective of this research is to examine the roles of these three fundamental concepts in shaping individual character and behavior within the framework of Islamic principles. Reason, as a tool for thought and analysis, guides individuals to a correct and profound understanding of divine truths. Faith, as a heartfelt and spiritual belief, encourages individuals to adhere to ethical principles and religious values. Insight, as a type of intuitive and spiritual understanding, allows individuals to see beyond appearances and grasp the deeper issues of ethics. The analyses presented in this article indicate that these concepts operate simultaneously and complementarily, playing a key role in shaping individual and social ethics within Islamic education. In conclusion, a proposed model for utilizing these concepts in educational and ethical systems is presented, designed around rational, faithful, and insightful education. Additionally, suggestions for future research regarding the impacts of these concepts in different communities, emphasizing the education of youth, and examining the role of modern technologies in enhancing these principles are proposed.

The concept of Ilm al-Ghayb (Knowledge of the Unseen) is one of the fundamental topics in Islamic religious texts, extensively discussed in the Holy Quran. This research provides a comparative analysis of the concept of Ilm al-Ghayb in the Quran and Shia and Sunni exegesis with a philosophical and interpretive approach. In this study, verses related to Ilm al-Ghayb in the Quran are examined, and its key concepts are elucidated. Subsequently, the interpretative views of the Shia—emphasizing Tafsir al-Mizan and Tafsir al-Safi—and the Sunni—focusing on Tafsir al-Tabari and Tafsir al-Qurtubi—are analyzed. The results indicate that both Islamic schools regard Ilm al-Ghayb as knowledge exclusively belonging to God. However, differences arise concerning the possibility of human access to this knowledge, especially by prophets and Imams. The Shia school believes that prophets and infallible Imams can, by divine will, access certain aspects of Ilm al-Ghayb, while the Sunni school limits this possibility to divine revelation and rejects any independent access. These differences stem from the theological and philosophical foundations of each school and have significantly impacted religious teachings and the social structures of Islamic societies. By clarifying these differences and similarities, this research contributes to a deeper understanding of the concept of Ilm al-Ghayb and its influence on Islamic thought, paving the way for future studies in this field.

Beliefs are a part of people's public culture, which includes religious, superstitious, medical, astronomical, etc. beliefs. With the advent of Islam, religious beliefs have had a profound effect on various aspects of life, including culture and literature, and Muslim poets have reflected these beliefs in their works by relying on the Qur'an and religious teachings. Nizami is one of these poets who in his Khamsa; That is, Makhzan Al-Asrar, Khosrow and Shirin, Lili and Majnoon, Haft Pekir and Iskandarnameh reflect Islamic and religious beliefs. Therefore, in this research, religious and Islamic beliefs; It is examined in Khamsa Nizami. The working method in this research is descriptive and analytical based on library studies. The influence of religious and Islamic beliefs in Khamsa Nizami shows that this poet was familiar with the Qur'an and the wave of Islamic beliefs and the concepts of the Holy Qur'an is evident in all the masnavis of Khamsa.

Abstract The creation of man and the statement of his position and the command to prostrate to him is one of the most important topics that have been discussed in the Holy Quran and accordingly thinkers have also paid attention to it. The appearance of honorable verses about the main reason of Satan not prostrating Adam (pbuh) was his arrogance. Since the devil is presented as the only monotheist in the view of some mystics and Sufis, including Hallaj, in fact he did not disobey God's command and his failure to prostrate is not due to arrogance. Therefore, in this article, with a descriptive and analytical method, while explaining the reasons for not prostrating Iblis to Adam (peace be upon him) based on the views of Allameh Tabatabai, Sheikh Mahmoud Shabastri and Mansour Hallaj, for reasons such as: arrogance, envy, analogy, being inclined to honor Inherent, love and love for God and predestination for Satan are mentioned and at the end, his views were criticized.

From the perspective of the Holy Quran, motivation is considered one of the pillars of civilization-building in the establishment of an Islamic utopia. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to present a conceptual model of a motivational utopia in the civilization-building of the Holy Quran. The theoretical part of this goal is pursued by examining concepts extracted from the commentaries of exegetes, while the practical part investigates how motivation-based civilization-building, as rooted in the Quran, is achieved. The main research question is: What is the conceptual model of a motivational utopia in the civilization-building of the Holy Quran? This study is classified as fundamental-developmental research, utilizing qualitative content analysis as its methodology. The entire Quran (as the population) was analyzed, identifying the themes related to the "conceptual model of a motivational utopia" (more than 2,700 verses). Then, through examining commentaries, open, axial, and selective coding was conducted. To present a comprehensive model, three core themes—causal, structural, and consequential—were identified after coding. The validity and reliability of this model were initially assessed by 17 experts, with the CVR and CVI values confirming the content validity of this conceptual model. The findings indicate that from the Quran’s perspective, society and civilization-building represent a utopia where the motivational system is established across various individual, familial, and social domains.

Paying attention to contemplative continuity in interpreting the verses of the Holy Quran and not being content with immediacy continuity plays an important role in clarifying the contents of the verses. In contemplative continuity, newer points can be deduced from the verse by using verses that seem to have less connection with the verse being interpreted. For example, verses 102 to 104 of Surah Taha depict an atmosphere in which criminals, after inflating the trumpets and being resurrected, disagree about the extent of living in the world or purgatory. Some people consider the length of stay to be equal to ten days, but the person whom God refers to as "امثلهم طریقه" does not know the amount of stay as more than one day The present study examines the complexities in the interpretation and explanation of this verse and the comments of the commentators about these complexities and by delving into the interpretive sayings has come to the conclusion that most commentators are satisfied with the simple meaning and immediacy continuity, and have said that the above phrase in verse 104 has real meaning. They have inferred praise from it, while by using the contemplative continuity and implicit connections of some verses of the surah with this verse, a virtual and ironic meaning can be deduced from it, which reveals the irony hidden in the word. An irony that the general commentators have neglected due to not paying attention to contemplative connections and not following the societal and interpretive model.

Understanding the discourse of the Qur’an is possible by understanding its words and meanings. Addressing the meaning of words in the light of existing methods in semantics can provide a broad horizon in setting the semantic network of Qur’anic words. Covenant is one of the key words in understanding the discourse of the Qur’an, the expressive analysis of which in the semantic system of the Qur’an is the aim of the present study. Therefore, adopting a descriptive-analytical method and using the semantic method, this article seeks to answer the question, “considering the semantic components and the relations of companionship and succession, how is the semantic network of ‘the Covenant’ explained in the Qur’an?” The results of the research indicate that in the linguistic application of the term “Covenant”, its basic meanings such as “strength, reinforcement, and consolidation” are considered. Also, in the study of companionship relationships, the verb form of the word “axz” (take) refers to the type of taking the covenant and the verb “zekr” (mention) refers to its basic components. In addition, nominal companionships of the terms like “ahd” (the Covenant) and “qaliz” (strong) highlights the strength and stability of the covenant. Substitutes of this word can be classified into four groups: conceptual substitutes, substitutions based on the concept of acceptance of the Covenant, substitutes within the scope of the provisions of the Covenant, and rhyming substitutes for the term “misaq” (the Covenant). The semantic opposites of the term “Covenant” such as “violation, forgetfulness, deviation, abjuration,

One of the frequently used forms of discourse in the Holy Quran is storytelling. The Quranic stories are a rich treasure trove of faith-based, ethical, and behavioral teachings, which are vividly portrayed to provide models for others to emulate. In a civilization-building rereading of the stories of the prophets in the Quran, the first step is to identify the recurring themes in God's narrative of the teachings and actions of the prophets. Approaches to thematic analysis in literary sciences, such as narratology, offer scientifically valid and reliable tools that can assist in this process. Accordingly, this article adopts a descriptive-analytical method and uses the motif element from narratology to reinterpret part of the story of Prophet Ibrahim (AS) in the Holy Quran. The findings of this study reveal motifs such as the establishment of a rational civilization-building mindset through the motif of debate, the affirmation of effort and struggle in the expansion of the civilizational mission through the motif of trial, and the concern for the continuation of civilization in future generations through the motif of prayer for offspring in the story of Ibrahim (AS).

One of the most important responsibilities of Quranic exegetes is to produce interpretations that, while being loyal to the original Islamic teachings, can persuasively address contemporary concerns and effectively spread the message in the global community. In this vein and with this goal, Dr. Seyyed Hossein Nasr and his colleagues have written a book titled “The Study Quran” on the request of HarperOne in the United States. This book contains interpretative comments of all Quranic chapters, based on 40 different tafsir studies Despite the author’s and the work’s great qualities, this book contains numerous bad concerns that must be addressed critically. The title “contemporary interpretation” is inappropriate for “The Study Quran” for two reasons: first, its characterization as tafsir is debatable, and second, it fails to meet the expectations of a contemporary text that addresses current issues and effectively propagates the Quran’s message. This article, written in a descriptive-analytical style, emphasizes the book’s positive qualities before criticizing it on both general and specific levels. General objections include the title’s inaccurate translation, the authors’ lack of experience in tafsir and hadith, the lack of key the Shia tafsir works, and the reliance on lesser Sunni tafsir sources and according to the specific objections, few critiques in the interpretation of Surah Al-Fatiha and some verses of Surah Al-Baqarah have been addressed in this article.

One of the pivotal topics in Quranic studies and exegesis is the coherence of verses within the surahs. Numerous orientalists have scrutinized and assessed this matter, with the majority asserting that the verses within Quranic surahs exhibit a lack of coherence. Theodor Noldeke, in his work “History of the Quran,” is a notable advocate of this viewpoint and has extensively discussed the issue. The criteria posited by Noldeke regarding the perceived incoherence of verses, along with the critiques and evaluations of these criteria, constitute the primary focus of the present article. This study endeavors, employing a descriptive-analytical approach, to elucidate and critically appraise Noldeke’s criteria concerning the lack of coherence in Quranic verses. The conclusion drawn is that Noldeke’s criteria for incoherence are evident in both structural and content-related dimensions. Variations in verse length, style, rhyme, context, and inconsistencies in the verses’ content are categorized within these two dimensions. An assessment of these criteria reveals that stylistic variations serve as a distinctive characteristic of the Quran, with the intention of affecting human consciousness. The differences in rhyme and context arise from a commitment to meaning, while variations in verse length correspond to the condition of the audience. Furthermore, discrepancies in content illustrate the Quran’s unique approach to presenting concepts and teachings in a manner that is both mixed and integrated.

The Holy Quran functions as an comprehensive resource for fostering positive thinking and serves as a guide for individuals pursuing mental well-being. Adhering to faith and following Quranic principles results in a life characterized by tranquility, happiness, and fulfillment. Traditional psychotherapy's foundational theories, across various schools, are largely informed by anthropological viewpoints that emphasize negative existential concerns, such as mental disorders and psychological distress. In contrast, positive thinking aims to enhance mental wellness and promote hedonistic pursuits. This study seeks to investigate how mental health and its pathways are represented within a multidimensional positive counseling framework derived from the Quran. Data were gathered through qualitative content analysis of positive thinking elements found in Quranic verses, which were organized into four themes (relationship with God, self, others, and nature), four primary categories (faith, self-awareness, human virtues in interpersonal relationships, and consciousness of the Creator's presence), and 31 subcategories from a selection of 400 verses from the Holy Quran. These elements were systematically coded utilizing the translation of Tafsir al-Mizan. The Content Validity Ratio (CVR) evaluated by experts ranged from 77% to 92%, while the Content Validity Index (CVI) varied from 88% to 96%. The results suggest that the components of positive thinking articulated in Quranic verses offer a robust foundation for understanding psychological phenomena and mental health, anchored in a fourfold relationship centered on faith and devotion to God. Consequently, it can be concluded that the elements of positive thinking and their role in promoting mental health are effectively delineated within the Quran. A positive counseling model based on Islamic-Iranian teachings was subsequently developed and validated within this framework.

Understanding the nature of attributes of God is one of the important and prominent teachings in the verses of the Holy Quran. Ascriibng human qualities to Allah is a complex topic reflecting in the Mutashābihāt (ambiguous verses). Various hadiths and Quranic interpretations have discussed the concept of forgetfulness attributed to Allah. Thus, the research aims to analyze the concept of forgetfulness in various verses and examine their context by referring to authentic hadiths, verses, and rational reasoning in order to establish the concept of forgetfulness in the Holy Qur'an. The methodology used in the research is library-based and analytical. The results indicate that, based on rational and textual evidences including the linguistic context of the Holy Quranic verses and the verses discussing the subject of forgetfulness attributed to Allah, forgetfulness holds no meaning for Allah, whose knowledge encompasses the entire universe. Instead, it refers to the disregard shown by disbelievers and hypocrites towards God, as they have forgotten His commands and the Day of Judgment in this world. As a result of this negligence, God also disregards them and does not include them in His mercy. Furthermore, through an examination of Maḥkamāt (clear-cut verses) and hadiths, it becomes evident that God never forgets anything, thus dismissing any doubt or misconception regarding this matter. According to the literature of the Holy Quran, this interpretation is a subtle metaphor for God's indifference and neglect towards sinful individuals.

As a comprehensive book of guidance, the Holy Quran has established rules for individual and social happiness in all fields, especially political-social issues. Surah Al-Hujrat expresses important political principles in relation to believers and Islamic governance. This article tries to investigate the political-social implications of Surah Al-Hujrat from the perspective of structural-thematic interpretation. Structural interpretation is more about achieving the purpose of the surah, and it is related to the target text in order to discover the purpose of the surah, but in the analysis of the theme, the analysis of the text is analyzed from the smallest unit of the text. Therefore, by applying these two methods and arriving at the network of themes that was carried out from the quantitative and qualitative data mining process through the similarities and conceptualization between the data, the political implications of the Surah were discovered and the central purpose of the Surah was discovered.
