The purpose of the revelation of the Quran is guidance, evolution, and the excellence of human. Therefore, all verses of the Quran, even transient scientific references, achieve the same goalPointing to factors involved in fertilization and sexual reproduction (male and female gametes) is one of the scientific issues of the Quran with the aim of notifying the signs of monotheism and resurrection. In this study which adopted an analytic and descriptive approach, and it has been done by the notes of reference, the researchers aim to seek the perspective of Quran about the reproduction factors and the creation of embryos(male and female gametes). In this article, after examining the verses related to gametes, it was concluded that the term »maa« refers to expressing absolute or specific features, the term »manie« and its derivatives and the term »solaleh« refer to gametes (sperm and ovule), but the term »notfeh« is absolutely related to gametes in some verses, and indicates the fertilized ovule (zygote) in other verses. The term »notfeh«with a special feature reveals zygote sperm as well as ovul, and accurate scientific points about gametes can be understood through the article.

Āya [sign] as a word refers to an observable object whose being observable is in order to convey to as person a message which is in line with a particular purpose and which draws that person’s attention to a certain direction, albeit within the limits of that person’s level of knowledge and understanding. God Almighty has presented the signs in the outer world [āfāq] and the signs within the human self [anfus] in order that the observer reaches an understanding and that the authenticity of the sign be proved. The human thought is able to transcend limits of time and space and thus revisit and reshape sensory inputs. Considering the ultimate purpose of the act of thinking plays an important role in making that thinking positive or negative, and therefore in human’s attaining to guidance [hidāya] or error [zalāl]. The most efficient kind of thinking is therefore thinking about ultimate purposes. Inputs of all senses can be a starting point for thinking about the ultimate purpose of any given sign. However, observation, as the input of the visual sense, has a particular importance and its different types can be used for observing signs while considering their ultimate purposes. Types of observation of signs include: observing themes and signs of the nature while considering their relationship to the human being, extending observation of natural signs with the aim of acknowledging the purest form of Oneness of God [Tawhīd] as is realized through lā ilāha illa-llāh [There is no God but Allah], observing to make connections with natural phenomena while considering that they have certain levels of understanding and behave in a certain way before God Almighty (and learn from it), observing objects while considering their dependence upon God, observation with the aim of understanding the hikma [wisdom] and ultimate purpose of a given topic, and top-down observation aimed at discovering unknown and necessary relationships between objects.

The Holy Qur’an presents techniques of conversation in the form of stories and God’s conversations with prophets. Since conversations constitute the most important means of communication, God has provided his servants with different instances of conversation in the Holy Qur’an. Parts of them are God’s conversations with prophets which cover different subjects. This paper, first, defines conversation and related terms and, then, goes on to investigate God’s monotheism-centered conversations with prophets.

Religious experience is a novel issue in the field of theology and the philosophy of religion; it denotes God’s manifestationin the experiencer, which comes about in certain feelings and states. These states of the experiencer may sometimes be considered as a confirmation of his innate disposition, or the religious experience and proof of human nature maybe hastily deemed the same. However, there are essential differences between them which cause their manner of knowledge enhancement and their scope of knowledge to be different. Hence, the present study deems it necessary to first provide a brief definition of these two terms and then examines them comparatively.
