Throughout history, women have always been ignored, and their independent identities have been subject to damages worse than the physical abuse by the social systems governing different societies. Although there have been some attempts to improve the status of women, there has been no significant change in this regard and their inferior status has continued as there has seldom been any attempt focusing on reviving woman’s dignity. During the movement of monotheism, the leaders have paid more attention to the restoration of the personality and independence of people, with the aim of breaking with the deviated and sorrowful status of this world and going toward God. Moreover, feeling secure, in terms of existence, away from being female or male, is being pursued so as to make way for presence which is a prominent feature of human in everyday social activities. Among numerous acts against misogyny, the act of the Prophet (pbuh) in his time against misogynous social contracts was a giant stride forward. Furthermore, if women had wanted to disobey those contracts, they would have faced much anxiety and depression so that they would have lost their motivation in taking part in social activities. Therefore, the prophet (pbuh) was able to pave the way for respecting women in its best way by kissing his daughter’s hand, respecting his wife, accepting economic independence of the women, etc. This proved that not only should not woman be looked down, but also they should be looked up so as they will be able to take part in social activities more confidently.

Having a glance at the lives of the divine prophets, we can see that they paid attention to the individual and social lives of the leaders of the societies, either in this world or the other world. Moreover, along their vocations, not only did they fight against doctrinal and moral deviations, but they also fought against Social, economic and political deviations and they did their best to redress them. But secularism is a theory that emphasizes the limitations of the role of religion in life and one of the secular main demands is the separation of religious institution from government. Secularists believe that religion is something individual and it should not interfere in life affairs such as government. In the other words, Secularists want a government independent of religion. Thus, the aim of this library research which is problem -oriented, with an Analytical method, is twofold. First, it tries to achieve Alavi approach in the field of religion and politics .Second, it tries to criticize the theory of secularism which is the separation of religion from politics based on the words of Imam Ali (pbuh).

Throughout history, the most fundamental issue that the divine prophets have tried to invite people to is the principle of monotheism and denial of polytheism (Shirk). Among these efforts are the rational approaches of the Prophet Ibrahim (AS) reflected in the Holy Quran. He drew on an argument to disapprove the divinity of the stars, moon, and so on and prove the divine monotheism while facing the polytheists of his time. The argument has received a variety of explanations. One of these explanations finds the reference of the argument in the Argument of Temporal Beginning, (Burhān-e Ḥudūth). However, this explanation has been criticized by some scholars. Using a documentary-analytic-inferential method, this research first explains the above argument and the scholars' criticisms and then reviews the criticisms. Finally, it provides a new explanation for the above argument, referring the concept of "decline" to "the essential need and existential poverty" so as to account for the criticisms.

Translation is a reconstruction of a word in another language in a way that all the meanings and purposes of speakers are conveyed in the target language. Therefore, a translated text is a full-scale mirror of its original text. The most important issue in translation is following the principle that a translator should take into consideration while translating. This should be done in a way that a translated text is equal to its original text. In translation, paying attention to a variety of semantic features of a word is necessary. However, practically, in some cases such attention might not be possible. Nevertheless, we should do our best to find the closest and most precise equivalences. The purpose of this study is to find out whether the translators of the Quran have paid attention to the components and semantic features of the Quranic words or not, and have they been able to reflect such attention or not. Therefore, in this study the translations of some of the translators, based on the dictionaries and interpreting books, have been explored. The analysis of the translations based on the seven words of the Holy Quran suggests that the translators have not paid the due attention to finding exact equivalences as well as the semantic features of the source language. Additionally, most of the translators have overlooked the semantic layers and classes hidden in the Quranic words.

Many verses in the Quran are expressed in a form of a metaphoric restriction (Ghasr). The style of the Ghasr is one of the main branches of semantics, from among different kinds of rhetoric. The Holy Quran has utilized this figure of speech in different ways. The present study investigates different important kinds of Ghasr: ways to achieve Ghasr, and its classifications including restriction of a noun modified by an adjective referring to a truth or a statement or vice versa. It also pays attention to its classification based on the addressee’s situation. That is to say, it pays attention to individuals and determines and inverses based on the rhetoric and interpretative books. The most important aim of this study is to achieve the niceties and details of Ghasr in Sura Najm. We should know that the rhetoric style of Ghasr in understanding verses of the Quran is absolutely necessary, and without which many meanings of divine verses will be hidden.

God Almighty has set the Holy Quran as the guiding light for human beings so that they can find the way to bliss and salvation through it. Therefore, it is essential to contemplate more and more and discover the profound depths of the verses in this holy book. One of the topics discussed in this holy book is the topic of the divine traditions. Marriage is one of the traditions discussed in the Quran, and it is so important that God considers it His sign on the earth. This point has been made in the 21st verse of the surah Roum, and since marriage is a way through which one can reach happiness, a precise and detailed examination of it seems necessary. In the field of interpretation of the Quran, a lot of works including books of commentary, papers, and dissertations have been carried out. However, the focus of this research is on a methodical and comparative examination of the above-mentioned verse, with regard to the ideas and views of the Shia and Sunni commentators. There has never been a work as inclusive as this one. The present paper uses a narrative-analytic method. As marriage is a common rule among all of the creatures, especially humans, we have generalized this tradition to all of the people of societies. That is to say, we have considered marriage in thought, soul, and body so as to make comfort, friendliness, and mercy.

This is an applied research which seeks to evaluate the scientific and practical perfection of man in the Quran and mysticism. In this research with an analytic method, we try to answer: What components influence the scientific and practical perfection of man and have made him seize the opportunity to live in this world which is the best time to train and nurture his soul? And what are the strategies of Quran and mysticism about it? The following findings were made after collecting and analyzing the data using a library approach. Based on the primary classification and attitude of Imam Khomeini and Ayatollah Javadi Amoli, unlike some other classifications of mystics such as Ebne Arabi’s classification, humans are not divided into perfect humans and animal humans. However, they Believe humans, unlike animals, have two ranks. Due to a high position before Allah, and in order to get away from the animal trait, they must have a ripen process, which is the purpose of the creation. In their opinion, for various reasons such as his rank as Caliph of Allah, and descendent and ascendant arcs, human has dignity over other creatures. Thus, with the ripen process, human has the potentiality to move towards the non-finite divine aim.
