"'Ijmᾱl" (brevity/unclear) is a questionable issue in understanding and interpreting the Holy Qur'an, that its incorrect description may lead to problems, such as inherent ambiguity or defects in the Qur'an. Therefore, the study of this issue specifically is of importance. Using the "Linguistic Signification" approach to understanding and interpreting the Qur'an, this research introduces and analyzes the issue of "brevity & explanation" of the Qur'an. Findings have then been compared with the popular topics of Qur'anic sciences. This research shows that 'Ijmᾱl in the Holy Qur'an is accepted only in the sense of being concise and compact, not ambiguity or defects in meaning; Although the specific audiences of each group of verses have been able to interpret and discover its brief meaning in the "application" or the "address space" of the Qur'anic verses. Therefore, the "meaning" of such a compact word may appear unclear and doubtful for the late listeners or non-addressees. The article shows that the brevity of the speech is more related to its context (the speech situation and the background knowledge of the audience). Finally, only the "real scholars of the Qur'an" (the Infallibles) (AS) are those who can explain and describe all the brief verses of the Qur'an based on their divine knowledge to the listeners.

Few quotations are found in the course of history whose evidence is as strongly documented as the main part of Ghadir Hadith (…من کنت مولاه).The Hadith is a truthful, undeniable quote from the holy Prophet. Those who undermine the veracity of this hadith argue that it does not carry implications to the righteousness of Imam Ali as the successor of prophet. One of the arguments put forward is about the brevity and ambiguity of the term “movla”used in this hadith to refer to Imam Ali. The current study aims to explore multiple meanings of the above-mentioned term and seeks to prove that on the basis of definite evidence, the term abosulutely and without an iota of doubt denotes guardianship and authority to lead. Then, the current research assumes that the evidences presented are insufficient and attempts to attribute other meanings to the term and prove righteousness of Imam Ali as the successor of prophet based on the other denotations and connotations of the term. This research moves on to argue, should there still remain brevity and ambiguity, two solutions need to be accepted. First attributing two meanings to the term and second performing practical principles. It is hereby proved that Ghadir Hadith specifically implies the righteousness of Imam Ali as the successor of prophet beyond any reasonable doubt, and there is no way to bring it under question. Although there has been some vain attempts to distort the historical evidences of the hadith, the line of reasoning for the opposite camp has more ground and solidity.

The Holy Quran, as the product of the prophecy of the Prophet of Islam (p.b.u.h.), is a revelatory text represented in the form of human literature. Based on theological principles, this text is a verbal miracle with the two features of ‘wisdom’ and ‘eloquence’. The former governs the content and the latter governs the form of this text. Each one of these two features has its own specific requirements and conditions. For example, eloquence has given it a glorious structure and made it a text full of aesthetic elements. Hence, the history of Quranic research is full of research on the rhetorical aspects of the Quran to explain the verbal miracle of this Holy Book. The present study is a theoretical research work conducted on the basis of the analytical-descriptive method. It aims at analyzing Surah al-Ikhlas using the criteria of rhetorical sciences and aesthetics. Based on the data analysis, it was revealed that restriction, detachment and attachment, brevity, and rhythm techniques and a combination of scientific and literary forms are among the most important examples of beauty in Surah al-Ikhlas. The findings also revealed that given the mission of Surah al-Ikhlas, such figures of speech as simile, metaphor, etc. have no function in this surah

The explanation of kitab, the book, is one of the Prophet`s (s) missions mentioned in many verses of the Holy Quran. Some have viewed the word explanation in these verses to mean interpreting the book and removing the ambiguity from its concepts. In this regard, the concepts of the book are concise and ambiguous, and access to its meaning, except in the light of the interpretation of tradition, is not possible. Some also consider the explanation of the book as another interpretation of the Quranic verses. The paper has been based on the presupposition that one, relying on the semantics of the word in the Divine verses, perceives that explanation is not necessarily for the cases of brevity and, therefore, any attempt for comprehensive and exact communication of Quranic verses and keeping them against any distortion and ambiguity would be known as explanation. But explanation is not limited to communicating words, and includes such things as emphasizing the Quranic teachings in various words, describing the words, expressing truths and examples, and giving detailed account of the verses.

The Collaboration of an explainer with the Holy Qur’an is among theological-Qur’anic sciences discussions. The Holy Qur’an is considered as the most important source of legislation of laws، the only unquestionable axis for all Islamic scholars، both Shiite and Sunni and the book of guidance until the Doomsday. However، to benefit from this book (the Divine guidance)، it requires God to position an explainer by the side of His book of guidance، who explains the Divine’s purposes. “Explanation” in its literal sense means to unfold، reveal and explain. The foundation of the theory of “collaboration of Qur’an and the explainer” accords with the intellect and precept of the intellectuals and the (Qur’an’s) verses and traditions verify it. The right of expressing is reserved for God; but because of its profound meanings and purports، and its great teachings، the only logical way to understand the howness of using it is the Prophet’s sayings and absolute adherence to his example. The necessity of obeying the Prophet (PBUH) and the attribution of the status of explanation and teaching of the Qur’an to him is a clear reason for the need to refer to all his sayings about the Qur’an at every level of expression and decision. Moreover، the Qur’an and traditions in order to describe the explanatory dignity of the Prophet (PBUH) introduce the Pure Imams (A. S) specially the Imam of the Time as the heirs of this status under the following headings: the unshakables in knowledge، the carriers and the owners of the knowledge.

Brevity or succinctness is an important rhetorical technique which is used in conveying the meaning، intended by the speaker. This style in speech adds to the comprehensiveness and inclusiveness of discourse. One of these techniques is deletion in which some part of the surface structure of a Quranic verse is deleted. This could be a morpheme، word or phrases deletion that each follow a certain rhetoric purpose. Deletion plays a great role in creating meaning based delicacies and speech decorations. In this study a comprehensive definition of deletion and its different types is provided. Moreover the aesthetic functions and applications of deletion on some Quranic verses are also investigated.

Rays of miraculous eloquence of the holy Quran, a book which is the unique example and the majestic model of eloquence, is reflected in the holy prophet’s words and later on has manifested itself in Imam Ali’s Nahj al-Balagha. The present essay reports an itinerary of stream of eloquence in that great, celebrated book.
