All the verses of the Qur'an have valuable implications for guiding the mankind. The purpose of this study was to extract the components and aims of blame in the Holy Quran. The research method was a descriptive-analytical study in the Qur'an with the Qur'an interpretation, Al-Mizan. According to the findings, cognitive component of blame was knowledge about: the human, divine attributes, divine blessings, divine traditions, the Qur'an, the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), good and bad, and strategies for correcting wrongdoers. Emotional component of blame obtained as: self-shame, shame in front of God, guilty, inferiority, and regret. Behavioral component of blame were: questioning, showing off your favor to someone, labeling, to humiliate, rational justifying, arousing and drawing attention to speech, expressing disgust, giving an example, comparing, repeating, and explaining. Also some objectives and goals (correcting the thinking method, strengthening faith in God, paying attention to the resurrection, nurturing the faith in the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), respecting and obeying him, understanding the ugliness of one's sins, feeling remorse and decision to repentance, and doing good and avoiding wrongdoings) and the ultimate aim (guiding mankind toward the true happiness) were achieved. So, blame in Qur’an leads to informing the sinner and make him feel remorse and encourage him to repent.

Criticizing texts based on structuralist theory is something that has recently become popular in scientific circles, and according to it, from the smallest audio and musical signs to the biggest, which are words and how they are put together, is effective in meaning. On this basis, there is a significant coherence between form and meaning. Undoubtedly, the application of such theories about the Qur'an, which is a highly literary text, makes its long concepts more and more clear. Dealing with the Holy Qur'an and its semantic field is something that has a long history and religious scholars and linguists have dealt with it since the beginning of the revelation until today, by creating various sciences and writing various books such as Rhetoric, Erabs, Qur'an Vocabulary.
In the beginning, Quranic studies had an interpretive approach, and it has continued until today, and the existing mystical, jurisprudential, literary, and theological interpretations confirm it. With the emergence of new linguistic theories, which include cognitive linguistics and structural analysis, a new chapter in Quranic studies began and the coherence and harmony of Quranic verses became more apparent. With the emergence of new linguistic theories, which include cognitive linguistics and structural analysis, a new chapter in Quranic studies began and the coherence and harmony of Quranic verses became more apparent. Because structural criticism is one of the critical methods of literary texts, by means of which, with the benefit of rules and principles, the relationship between audio, musical, and lexical signs, and syntactic and rhetorical points of words can be explored. Surah Nazeat is an example of chapter 30 for the news of the truth of the hereafter, and it brings the hereafter to the heart of mankind with its fear and concentration of events and its seriousness and originality in divine destiny and in the way of informing about that great truth, the style and context of the Surah plays various musical songs on the depths of being and creates various emotions around that great truth. This article tries to show as much as possible the existing order in Surah Nazeat according to the structuralist theory, at different sound, lexical, syntactic, and rhetorical levels. With this aim, the question is, in what language structure is the text of Surah Nazeat expressed and in what structure are the concepts derived from it presented? The research method is a descriptive-analytical method. At first, the structuralist theory is explained, and then the different parts of the Surah are explained according to this theory, and finally, the research results are presented. The findings indicate that the elements of the linguistic structure of Surah Nazeat are in the direction of complete coherence with regard to the subject of the Surah, that is, the truth of the Hereafter and its terrifying events. The initial short and shocking passages are consistent with the induction of fear and dread of the Day of Resurrection and the long and gentle sections at the end are in harmony with its constructive content, that is, the end of the believer and the unbeliever. The middle structure of the verses is sometimes with a short section and sometimes with a longer section, which is in complete harmony with the content of the verses. The final sections of the verses "A" and "Ha" are also completely consistent with the prevailing atmosphere of the verses and have increased the fear of the great events of the hereafter and have doubled the meanings of the verses and their impact. This harmony and order has been seen in other levels of speech, such as the phonetic, lexical, syntactic and rhetorical levels, and has doubled the effect of the verses. Using verbal and spiritual arrays, such as contrasting words and synonyms of verbs and complete and incomplete puns, and observing the rhetorical points in the Surah, such as removing the answer to oath, contrasting words, The use of negative interrogatives, interpretive sentences, nominal and actual sentences, present participle verbs, adverbs of description and present tense, the use of the letters "enna" and "ennama" have also added to the impact of the text and intensified its meaning. And all of them are in the service of the topic of the Surah, that is, the truth of the hereafter and its extensive events. In other words, the elements in this surah at different phonetic, lexical, syntactic, and rhetorical levels, in the form of a general structure and an interconnected collection, serve the truth of the hereafter and its terrifying events. And between the beginning and the end of the surah, there is also a thematic proportionality because the surah begins with the angels of taking soul and ends with the Resurrection

Celestial constellations have always been discussed and researched by astronomers due to their role in determining time and some astronomical calculations. In terms of guidance, the Holy Qur'an clearly mentions constellations in three verses, and a surah is also known by the same name. This heavenly book considers the decoration of the sky with constellations as a sign of divine power. The main questions of this research are what is the external example of the Quranic constellations and what are the commonalities and differences between the Quranic and astronomical constellations? The origin of these questions is the proposal of various interpretive views presented by the thinkers. Using the method of interdisciplinary studies and the description and analysis of intra-Qur'anic and extra-Qur'anic evidences show that the meaning of the constellation in this holy text can be the same common term among astronomers, that is, the twelve sets of stars that are known by special names that have been noticed because of their beauty and probably their role in human life. Another similarity between the Qur'anic and astronomical constellations, which shows the sameness of the two, is their materiality, beauty, and adornment, and their location in the sky near the earth. On the other hand, the towers and heavenly buildings that are introduced as examples of the zodiac in some interpretations, due to the lack of definitive proofs and the lack of discovery of such buildings so far, can only be presented as a possibility in the interpretation of these verses.

The concept of war and jihad is one of the challenging researches, the misunderstanding of which has had negative consequences. Since in the verses of the Qur'an, the concept of jihad is a sacred and sublime thing and the Holy Qur'an has dealt with this issue in many verses and different interpretations, a correct analysis of the Qur'anic expression pattern and the way of using verbs can help to understand the verses of jihad. Therefore, in the present study, a descriptive-analytical method was used to analyze the discourse of spoken verbs in the verses of Jihad, and it was concluded that which is the intention of the speaker, a comprehensive combination of discourse systems derived from Verbal verbs, had an opinion. Hence, intelligent, emotional and incidental discourse systems that have been analyzed with regard to the spoken verbs of the verses of jihad, in combination with each other, clarify the comprehensive discourse analysis of the verses of jihad. This discourse is a guiding discourse that, in addition to intelligent discourse, uses tension-emotional pressures as well as event discourse based on divine providence. The emotional discourse system also completes the discourse of passion and consciousness in the form of emotional and persuasive speech verbs. The incidental discourse system in the form of obligatory verbal verbs refers to a higher and more meaningful authority and makes it clear that the divine providence is the victory and help of the Mujahideen in the way of God.

Quranic interdisciplinary researches provide a strong connection between science and religion, help explaining the scientific nature of the miracles of the Qur'an, and are used in scientific interpretation; however, in case of disregarding the criteria of correct understanding and interpreting the Qur'an, attributing and adapting scientific theories to it would then lead to subjective interpretation, eclecticism and distortion. It is necessary to extract and apply the correct criteria for interdisciplinary Qur'anic research. This study intends to extract and introduce the criteria of correct understanding of the Qur'an from the viewpoint of Ayatollah Javadi Amoli, using a descriptive method. The findings of this study indicate that although from his point of view, understanding the Qur'an is possible and necessary for the public, methodologically, citing and reasoning the arguments requires attention to the following six points: 1. A good knowledge of Arabic literature and basic sciences without giving essential importance to their relative rules, 2. Attention to the variety of Qur'anic propositions in terms of expression, manner of writing, allegorical nature and symbolism, 3. Attention to the connection of cosmological facts with theology in the Qur'an and the difference between the language of the Qur'an and the language of science, 4. Methodological use of reason and scientific findings in understanding the Qur'an and avoiding any eclecticism, imposition and unreasonable adaptations, 5. Attention to the occasions and circumstances of revelation, 6. Putting aside any analogy and istihsan (juristic discretion).

The verses and suras of Quran have been descended on him gradually regarding the conditions and culture of people in sudi Arabia after descending the heart of prophet Mohammad. One of the subjects that has been descended from the first sura is the debate of praying which has been considered to the end of Quran. The position of praying in Islam is to the extent that it considered it as one of the believers features so that it considers it’s performance as the cause of felicity and it’s abandonment as the cause of misery. Regarding that the people of sudi Arabia are pagen the verses of Quran which are also one of the important matters of Islam religion should descended according to it’s addressed persons morale in the way that it can affect the highest effect on them and it becomes a culture gradually. There is a question that which method has Quran used for institutionalizing the religion and how can it persue the followers to perform this action? For responding this question, the holy verses have been investigated regarding the desending of Quran verses through the desciriptive-analytic method. Firstly, Quran expresses the effect of praying or leaving it in the felicity or misery of the humans. Afterwards, it introduces some persons as the pattern for people. In the next step it expresses some rules of praying. Then, it introduces the similar values to praying and it considers the features of prayers.
