Abstract:
Basically speaking, saintliness is considered as a commented and valued issue allotting to religion realm which without the presence of such a meaning, no religion is worthy of its name.This article aims to consider the normative prepositions related to holy places and times in three sacred books: Quran, Pentateuch, and Gospel with their similarities and differences. A specific software program is used with quantitative and qualitative research method to process and analyze the data by means of a profound content analysis method.As a result of searching in these three sacred books, 10396 normative propositions were found which are categorized in 123 sections. One of these sections includes 295 prepositions with the content of holy places and the other one has 301 prepositions with the content of holy times.Therefore, 5.7 percent of the dos and donts of these three books presented in tables of this article is based on the norms of holy places and times. According to these tables, Pentateuch considers do's and donts in our relation and holy places as well as us and holy times more than the two other books. In a section of holy places, the share of normative prepositions related to us and sacred objects is more in Pentateuch rather than Quran and Gospel. However Gospel compared to the other books has more relevant norms related to places of worship like churches and synagogues. Additionally, the least normative propositions related to us and holy times could be found in Gospel. The normative prepositions related to religiously prohibited months are just seen in Quran.This article lists 596 normative propositions with their identity numbers by representing the exact address of the source of verses.Eventually, a symmetry model of fivefold contents of places and times norms in three sacred books is computed and designed. Factors to be taken in to accounts in this model are reaching to coefficient correlation of 0.7 between the contents of Eids and holy times with holy objects and places.
