The Holy Quran is the miracle of eternal literature and rhetoric. According to morphological and syntactic and rhetorical points, a proper understanding facetiae verses and understand the Word of God, it is important. There is no doubt that the translation of the Quran has faced problems. In proportion to the amount of attention to these points, the translation-available, are more or less traumatized. Among these injuries inattention to the issue of guarantees in the translation. Brevity is guaranteed a form of the word while retaining their meaning, the way the use of violence and the need to use another word, the meaning of the verb also adds to its meaning. In this way, concise refers to both meanings. Perhaps not authorized guarantee of truth, because in this mode, simply remove the word and meaning are blacked out and the both desired speaker. in many cases, the verses of the Qur'an are used to ensure that when not paying attention to that, it can be said that an accurate translation of the verse is not provided. this thesis deals with the method of description and analysis to answer the question of what precision the Persian translation of the Qur'an in these revelations is . the results showed that most of these translations are largely ignored in the word used in the verses discussed in the disputed verses.

One of the scholars who have a direct influence on the understanding, translation, and interpretation of the Divine Word is the "science of recitation of the Holy Quran". For this reason, this science has long been the focus of Qur'anic commentators and their collective endeavor was to provide the best understanding according to the accepted reading, given the different readings and their effect on the understanding of the Qur'an. The same effect manifests itself in interpretation. The question that this study seeks to answer is how does the difference in the interpretation of the verses affect the understanding and interpretation of some of the verses of Surat al-Baqara? Therefore, after reviewing the basic definitions and titles, the carpet of al-Haruf verses of Surat al-Baqarah, which has the difference of readings among the seven famous recitations (sublime readings), has been interpreted and compared. Through this review and comparison, the extent to which some interpretations of Baruwait's purity of Assam will be recognized as the most popular reading among Muslims will be determined.

Cohesion is among elements which are specific to the Holy Quran, with scholars having attached considerable importance to it and extracted its different kinds from the Quran. Inspired by it, Abul Ala Al-Maʿarri has used two kinds of cohesion in Al-Fuṣul wa Al-ghayat. Therefore, the kind of cohesion seen in his book is not an innovation, but a pure imitation of the Quran. This article attempts to examine these two kinds of cohesion in Maʿarri's works and then show their differences with ones in the Holy Quran. The first cohesion is related to the accordance between methods of reporting concerning the names of God and its previous sentences, where, contrary to the Quran, all names of God are based on the meters of fo'oul and fa'eel. Maʿarri's wordplays seem to be what has led him to use names for God in a different way used in the Quran. And the second cohesion is to begin a sentence with a topic with which the previous sentence has ended. Thus, there is an accordance between the beginning of a sentence and the ending of the previous sentence in Maʿarri's works. In the Quran, likewise, a surah continues with a topic with which the previous surah has ended.

Researchers have mostly attended to the relation between the Quran's literary and religious aspects and the compatibility or incompatibility of these two aspects. Quran, as the final miracle, has been the source for literary eloquence to flourish in the Persian language, while at the same time it is impossible to imitate its own eloquence. Therefore, examples of literary devices like imagery, metaphor, metonym, allegory, emblem, etc. in the Persian language do not have the same nature as the ones in the Quran itself. This holds true the most about personification in the Quran. In the mythical animistic view, the personification of other beings is a kind of imagination. All literary devised in the Quran serve to convey deeper meanings to the human mind, but this explanation does not hold true for personification in the Quran. The main question the present paper strives to answer is how could the metaphorical language in its general sense, as seen in the literary devices such as personification be explained in the text of the Quran?

Intercession, referring to mediating for the forgiveness of the sins of sinners, has been continuously the focus of attention for various Islamic sects. If intercession, as understood by the masses, indeed exists in the divine system, it would be in contradiction with divine justice, and it would violate of divine law. On the other hand, Allah the Most Merciful in the Holy Quran in verses 48 and 123 of al-Baqqārah rejects intercession, zar and zur as existing in the divine system, but in many verses, especially verse 44 of surah al-Zumar, it is clear that intercession exists and is exclusive to Allah and His agents In this essay, the author first explains the concept of intercession from the perspective of verses and narratives, and then examines the views of Allamah Tabataba’i and a number of the Islamic thinkers through an analytical method.

Scholars do not agree regarding the order of the Quran as miraculous. Early scholars have considered order in its literal and rhetorical sense and have limited it to grammar. However, later scholars have expanded the notion by adding methodology and symmetry, and have taken into account unity of the entirety of a Surah and finally the Quran itself. To this end, the proponents of opponents have debated the miraculous nature of the order of the Quran. However, the Quran is of importance as a message-focused text regarding which linguistics strives to examine order in levels of words, ayahs, Surahs and the entirety of the Quran, which is done with an interpersonal method serving to establish and maintain social relations and with a textual function method in which the function of language is to produce oral or written texts. The purpose of the present study is to depict the evolution of the concept of order throughout history and to suggest a true and tangible concept of order in the Quran by listing different viewpoints and through an intra-textual and analytical-descriptive method.

Image schema is one of the cognitive mechanism in the field of cognitive semantics that has a conceptual framework and an underlying metaphorical substruction. This cognitive mechanism decodes new meanings and increases the content of the principal purpose of the text. In the Quran, understanding the concepts of values and anti-values of ethics training have been modeled in the forms of volume, motion and force image schemata. The present article aims to analyze the conceptualiztion of the ethics training ayahs with the image schemata mechanism based on a descriptive-analytical method in to present a comprehensive picture of a perfect human and his indicators. The most important approaches in this article is the expression of the originality of interpretation in the Quran and highlighting the secret linguistics meanings the ethics training ayahs. It must be mentioned that the two demertis of “stinginess” and “imputation” have been depicted in the form of the two volume-force schemata of “chain” and “heavy weight” which invoke unpleasant scenes. The downward motion-directional schema of a “quenched fire” has been used for the merit of “supressing anger” to invite humans to overcome it as the conceptualiztion of anger in an upward direction would lead to unfortunate physical-mental consequenses.

The Quran is undoubtedly a holy book that has been revealed to lead mankind and to present the proper way of living and attainting perfection. Furthermore, it this book which enjoys the most eloquent and subtle styles of expression. It is clear that examining these methods and styles would lead to a better understanding of the ayahs of the Quran. One such method that which has been widely used in the Quran is that of metaphor. The translators of the Quran must strive to appropriately render these metaphors through an adequate awareness of the concept of metaphors and by referring to the comments of rhetoric scholars and interpreters and researchers of the Quran, as well as employing suitable translation methods. The present study was designed to review the methods for translating metaphors in some of the most famous contemporary Persian translations of the Quran: Makarem Shirazi, Meshkini, Garmaroudi, Fooladvand, Moezzi, Safarzadeh, Ghomsheei, Ansariyan, Sadeghi Tehrani, and Khoramshahi. The study critiques and evaluates each translation and presents the most prominent method of translation with regards to metaphors after mentioning the strengths and weaknesses of each translation.

A few ayahs of the Quran appear to violate famous rules of syntax for which different syntacticians have tried to provide explanations. However, the enemies of Islam have taken advantage of this fact, suggesting that the Quran is not a divine book, that it was written by a human being and, as a result, it has many syntactic mistakes. This paper, via a descriptive-analytical method, seeks to provide a sound explanation for the diacritical marks of the abovementioned Quranic words. Having reviewed and criticized opposing views as well as great syntacticians’ views and readings of the Quran, the present study reached the following conclusions: None of the objections raised by the opposing side are acceptable insofar as they are all based on the language rules and conventions of pre-Islamic Arabia in its days of Jahiliyyah (ignorance) and, thus, can be explained by linguistic justifications. There is no historical account of any objection about the diacritical marks of Quranic words in the early days of Islam, especially before the emigration of the Prophet, by a pre-Islam rhetorician such as Mughira from among the enemies of Islam. Those who have found fault with the diacritical marks of Quranic words are from among the disbelievers, Christians and Orientalists; they either do not specialize in Arabic or are unaware of its subtleties. The goal of the enemies is to raise doubts among Muslims about their divine scripture.

The quality of revelation and manifestation of the Holy Quran is an important matter in Quranic sciences which was questioned by Muslims and Jews from the beginning of the revelation of the Quran, and certain ayahs were revealed to offer clarification regarding this issue. However, the appearance of some of ayahs of the Quran proves a sudden revelation of the Quran at the night of the Decree (Laylatol al-Qadr) which is not compatible with some other verses as well as historical facts. Throughout history, interpreters have strived to find unity between the two sets of ayahs – some have rejected the sudden revelation and clarified its ayahs, and some have explained its nature in light of certain narratives. By giving a detailed account of and criticizing previous ideas and through employing the ayahs of the Quran, the present paper aims to clarify regarding the nature of sudden revelation of the Quran and to resolve doubts concerning this matter.

Each of the three monotheistic religions (Islam, Judaism, and Christianity) has their own scriptures, and all of these scriptures, from the time of Adam (A) to the Prophet (PBUH), have offered the same guidelines, namely the invitation to monotheism. Furthermore, these books have the same origin and share many similarities. For example, one of these significant similarities is the stories of the Prophets, and so commentators of the Holy Quran, in their interpretations, take advantage of the content of the Bible. Actually, identifying the commentators' approaches, in taking advantage of the Bible, helps us understand the commentators' stance toward the content of the Bible and its usage in their interpretation. Using the descriptive-analytical method, this article investigates the commentators' approaches towards the use of the Bible and concludes that commentators generally adopt four approaches in the use of the Bible: Maximum Proof, Minimum Proof, Negation, and Dual approaches. Each of them used the Bible differently, as some of them, criticize the content of the Bible and the others use it for explanatory purposes

The present paper address the role of Quran linguistic attitudes in the creation of the trinity view: strong maximal, minimal, and maximal comprehensiveness in the Quran. This investigation explains how the selection of each of these ideas can result in a different structure of the comprehensiveness in the Quran. Finally, in evaluations between different linguistic attitudes such as symbolic, conventional, combinational, and intrinsic language، the writer reaches the conclusion that comprehensiveness of the Quran is based upon the idea that despite some controversy, the maximal approach has yielded a realistic and acceptable idea of the language of the Quran. The comprehensiveness of the Quran is best represented by a synthesis of intrinsic and combinational methods. The intrinsic way ensures the ultra-temporality of the comprehensive of the Quran, and the combination way ensures the generality thereof.

Translation of religious texts, including the Quran, the book that excels in oration, is very difficult. If the translator, in translating this book, faces the problem of realia, the translation will become more complex and hard. Before translating, the translator needs to know realia and how to deal with them, for making improper decisions in the translation will result in misunderstading and misconception since the Russian readers are not familiar with the Quran. In this article, first we intend to learn the linguistic aspects of realia and how to translate them. We will, then, analyze the Russian translation of twenty realia in Kuliev's translation of the Quran. We come to the conclusion that the translator has not been able to properly translate realia, and this has made an accurate understaidng of the Quran for Russian speakers elusive. Learning translation strategies of the realia and making proper decisions in translating realia can prevent misunderstanding and misconception about the Ayat of the Quran.

Knowledge of God and His attributes offered in the Quran revealed numerous approaches of Simile and purification to Muslims. Understanding and explaining it created earlier theological approaches to simile and purification. The simile and metaphor approach, known as the Ahl-Tashbih since the first century of Islam, has been associated with multiple variations and then Mqatl Ben Solomon and Mohammed Ben Kram, came to Ibn Taymiyyah to be representatives of the Hanbali in his day. Like the Ahl-Tashbih earlier, Ibn Taymiyya based the work on a literal interpretation of the Quran verses and accompanied this belief by a kind of avoidance of rationality. The hadith Citations of Ibn Taymiyya are also based on the Hadiths spread by only the Ahle Hadith. Accordingly, we can turn to this thought only if: We similarly avoid rationality and God’s transcendental attributes in the Quran; and second, we refer to Hadiths using his approach to get verification. Otherwise, if a person is Sunni, but does not respect the principles of Ibn Taymiyyah, he won’t be able to think like him and believe in what he did.

“Sad An Sabil Allah” is one of the most frequent Quranic concepts that has been severely forbidden by the Quran. And understanding it can lead to a reconsideration of many of the religious concepts of Islam. In spite of its importance in Islam, it has not been considered thoroughly enough. “Sad An Sabil Allah” means obstructing the path of God, and it involves language, deeds etc. that prevent people from following the path of God. An instance offered by the Quran is oppression, and those who do this are deemed to be oppressors. Obstruction of the path of God has consequences for the person who does this both in this world and in the other (such as Divine punishment and torture).
