Referring to the wives of the Prophet in the Quran, guidance for mankind in all ages and generations raises this question: what is the benefit of reading and meditating on verses containing them? And this is the reason for a series of accusations against the Qur'an and the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.) claiming to "privatize" some parts of the Qur'an by the Prophet (S.A.W.). This article, in a descriptive-analytical and library research, seeks to answer the question with the narrative-based "interpretation" algorithm, while explaining the pattern of extracting epistemological, behavioral, and moral messages from these verses. Accordingly, the abstraction of verses from attributes, the extraction of the general message, and its application to contemporary instances, is the secret of the usefulness of verses for ages and generations. In addition, some of the issues related to the wives of the Prophet (S.A.W.) are closely related to the Muslim  belief issues which are mentioned in the Holy Qur'an, not only justifiable, but also unavoidable.

Commentators disagree on the reference of "She Verily Desired Him and He Would Have Desired Her" as well as the two words "evil" and "Lewdness " in verse 24 of Yūsuf Surah. Some believe that "Desired" was used by Yūsuf and Zuleikha, or only by Yūsuf, meaning beat and kill, and therefore they translate "evil" to beat and kill, and"Lewdness" to adultery. Some believe that both "desired" are adultery, and "evil" and "lewdness" return to the same issue; Of course, "desired" came to action on behalf of Zuleikha, but not on the part of Yūsuf due to the "argument of the Lord." Narrations have been narrated about both interpretations. The present study, with a descriptive-analytical method, is an attempt to critique and interpret the different opinions of the commentators and to provide a solution to resolve this difference and to reach the purpose of the verse with Qur'anic approach. Although this article prefers the second interpretation, it considers the reasons and evidences provided by those who believe in either of the two views are insufficient and seeks to solve the problem in the Qur'an itself. To this end, the correct meaning has been reached through the context and form of the Yūsuf Surah verses and other verses of the Holy Qur'an.

"Rhyme" at the end of the verses is a Qur'anic phenomenon that manifests its miracle and eloquence. Since Sībawayh era (d. 180 AH) the term used to conclude the verses and it has been more or less discussed; But it seems that many aspects have not yet been clarified. The discussion of the importance of rhyme in the Qur'an in terms of its role in inimitability and rhetoric, its use in explaining content and its interpretation and tone in reading are some of these topics. So the main question is that how important is rhyme in the Qur'an? In this article, we have tried to reveal some aspects of the importance of this Qur'anic phenomenon by researching books and words of the scholars. These include: rhyme is one of the aspects of the Qur'an inimitability, its eloquence manifestation, the embellishment of words and meanings in the Qur'an, the factor influencing the souls, and so on.

"Typology" is a method to explaining discussions in various sciences, which has been widely used in the Holy Qur'an. In this study, the "essentials" and "principles" on the basis of which the Holy Qur'an has defined and distinguished different types of typology have been studied in descriptive-analytical method. The Holy Qur'an has four basic principles in typology. The basis of cultural typology is the rule of monotheistic values and the avoidance of traditionalism. Social types are based on social supervision and how people take care to each other. Also, the basis of political typology is "power" and "migration", and economic types are explained on the basis of "fairness in distribution" and "moderation in consumption". In typology, the distinction becomes obvious. For this reason, in order to know more about the audience, the Holy Qur'an chose the classification and typology.

The "diversity" is one of the topics that address important aspects of anthropology. The importance of this issue is such that in the Qur'an, God has spoken about the diversity of creators (different colors) in many cases, and in some cases, human diversity has been specifically mentioned. Humans differ in their physical, mental, and psychological characteristics. The dimensions of this diversity are very wide in each of these cases. In this article, with a religious approach and referring to the Qur'an verses, we try to explain, analyze and deduce the diversity in the human world and express its wisdom and educational implications. Explaining this will make it clear that diversity is a tradition of God and a requirement of divine wisdom. And in social and educational issues, this principle should be recognized as a necessary and unavoidable subject and put in the right direction.

The word "Prolonged" in the Holy Verse “And If They Behold a Portent They Turn Away and Say: Prolonged Illusion” (54:2) is one of the words of the Holy Qur’an that the commentators have disagreed on its meaning and have expressed various opinions, because some people consider this word to have one semantic principle and some have considered several semantic principles. The disagreement in the meaning of "prolonged" has caused the commentators to disagree in interpreting this verse; continuous illusion, disappearing illusion, strong illusion, similar illusion, comprehensive illusion are some meanings of "prolonged illusion" in the interpretations. Given the widespread disagreement among commentators, it seems that relying on the role of linguistic elements in the text and its effect on recognizing the meaning and position of text production, the meaning of continuity can be preferred to other meanings. The linguistic and non-linguistic context of this verse shows that prolonged meaning must have a negative connotation, and among the negative meanings that have been proposed, the meaning of continuity is more in harmony with linguistic and non-linguistic context.
