AbstractOne of the most effective verbal tools and styles in conveying the concepts and experiences of the nation, which has an ancient history, is storytelling. Stories and storytelling are not specific to a specific culture and land and have existed in every nation and society for a long time. Contrary to Jahiliyyah, where the ignorant storytellers used to tell stories for entertainment, education, and lessons in the Islamic society, this art got a religious color and the newly Muslim Jewish Qasasun used the teachings of their previous religion (Judaism) in the envelope of the Islamic religion, using the style of storytelling. They entered the culture of the society. Qassasun is a little-known and unorganized group that has had an effective presence in Islamic society for several centuries in such a way that in the books of Rijal and translations of the early and middle centuries of Hijri, besides mentioning various guilds of scholars, the group of "Qassasun" is also mentioned. And the word has come out. Since the fields of hadith, history and interpretation have been among the main materials and tools of Qasasun's speeches, their influence on Islamic culture is wide and significant. One of the areas where Qasasun's approach has not been spared is the field of Qur'an interpretation. Our goal in this research is to research and explain the characteristics and reasons of Qassasun's approaches to the field of Qur'an interpretation in the early Islamic centuries. The method of this research is a descriptive-analytical method based on library documents. The findings of the research show that the nature of the activity of this group in the field of interpretation of the Holy Qur'an was in conflict with the contents of the verses of the Qur'an and the teachings of Islam. One of the characteristics of Qasasun's negative approach to the interpretation of the Qur'an is verbosity in the interpretation of the Qur'an and the expression of marginal and unhelpful content while explaining and interpreting the contents of the Qur'anic verses. Even in the interpretation of words from the Qur'an that had a clear meaning or a clear and unambiguous appearance, they quoted long and strange words. Another characteristic of Qasasun's negative approach to interpreting the Qur'an is the distorted interpretations of the character and history of the divine prophets and the noble Prophet of Islam (PBUH). This distorted approach, the purpose of which is to destroy the spiritual and divine personality of the prophets, is based on intense piety, asceticism and pure worship of God Almighty, and an all-round, continuous and very strict jihad against the ego, lusts, carnal and satanic desires, and the purity of the prophets is essential in perceiving, communicating and acting on the divine revelation and their virtue, and lowering the status of the prophets to the understanding of the inferiority of human beings is a captive and a slave to the lusts of the self and is all materialistic and worldly. Another characteristic of the negative approach of Qasasun in the interpretation of the Qur'an is the distortion and destruction of the foundations and fundamental principles of the religion of Islam, that is, its principles, including monotheism, prophethood, resurrection and imamate, were exposed to distortion and misunderstanding and emptying it of the revealed teachings of the Qur'an. The main reason for the activity and negative and destructive approach of Qasasun in the interpretation of the Holy Qur'an is the lack of knowledge of Qasasun in the science of Qur'an interpretation and its rules. It is also a complete and comprehensive reliance on Israel. Punishers and Jews made a lot of effort to match the Holy Quran with the Torah. They constantly tried to make the Qur'an appear like the Torah, full of stories and legends, and to relate the myths and legends with the verses of the Qur'an. The Jews looked at the Torah as the divine book, and in their opinion, the narrations that did not agree with it were considered false. They put the Torah on the same level as the Qur'an.

از پندارهای مغرضانه برخی مستشرقان که تحت لوای به چالش کشیدن قرآن مطرح شده، تقابل ظاهری فحوای برخی آیات است. «عصمت انبیا» یکی از این موارد می باشد که در آیات متعددی بر آن تأکید شده است. در مقابل؛ برخی دیگر از آیات که در عرف مفسران به «آیات عتاب» مشهور گشته اند، آن گونه که از ظاهر آنها نیز برداشت می گردد، با موضوع عصمت منافات داشته و این دو ناسازگار جلوه می نمایند. نوشتار حاضر سعی می کند با هدف پاسخ گویی به این شبهه، بر اساس مطالعه توصیفی تحلیلی شصت و پنجمین آیه سوره زمر: (و لقد اوحی الیک و الی الذین من قبلک لئن اشرکت لیحبطن عملک و لتکونن من الخاسرین) در منابع فریقین؛ ضمن بیان مفهوم عصمت و تبیین وجه توحیدی جهت آیه، نظریات مفسرانی که خطاب را کنایی و یا حقیقی می دانند مطرح نموده و نظر به کارکردهای بلاغی و سیاق؛ به شبهه زدایی مسأله تعارض آیه با بحث عصمت بپردازد.

In order to face the challenge of recent centuries in connection with the Holy Quran and dogmatic attitudes of some Orientalists about lack of the Quranic verses in the present era, scientists of the Quranic science raised the scientific magic of the Quran to defend the Holy Quran. The verse known as “Dahvalarz” (Naze’at, 30) is among the verses related to this issue. This study is a descriptive library research and shows the three wonders of the Quran about the earth namely “howness of the initial creation, the movement and spherical shape of the earth”. Thus, the meaning of the verse not only implies a theory involving the throwing the Earth from the sun, rotation and transfer as well as the spherical shape of the Earth but also represents the wonders of the eloquence of the Quran in employing the term “dahv” or “spread” indicating references from the Quran which overtake the facts of science.

The holy verse of “There is no force in religion’’ as a strategic principal in the developed system of Islam was put forward for interaction with other religions. Therefore, research about this verse will solve many problems in executing the verdicts of Islam. This study aims at finding issues raised about this verse and interpretations about it. This paper first discusses definitions and applications of concepts of Ikrah, Deen, Ghai, Roshd, etc,in this holy verse. In another section the paper discusses interpretations existing about this verse and divides them into three categories: it is concluded from the interpretations that religion is the trust and confession from the bottom of heart and will not be accepted by force as it only need logic to be accepted, and it is valueless if it is accepted by force. Regarding the difference between this holy verse which shows freedom of idea and the verdicts about Ertedad (freedom of speech) this paper clarified the difference between freedom in thinking, freedom in idea, and freedom in speech and found a distinction between them. Authors believe freedom in ideas is not limitless and absolute and has limitations and rules such as thinking. Freedom of speech also has limitations. This study found the hanging of an outcast in Islam is in no disharmony with freedom of speech and freedom of idea in Islam, as in an Islamic system an outcast will be treated only if they have propaganda and plot against Islam and this is likened to the treatment of spies in Liberal systems.
