This study uses library research methodology to investigate how to strengthen the family ties using the Prophet’s life as a model. Emphasizing the critical position of families, this paper seeks to enumerate goals of family formation aimed at meeting the material, spiritual and mental needs of human beings including their need for peace and security. As stated in this study, to reach the sublime goals and objectives of Islam and to protect and maintain their very existence one needs to seriously take care of the family law as stipulated in Islam. It is therefore necessary that all the plans and policy makings be in line with the promotion and interest of the institution of family, and meanwhile the job and occupation of family members should be clearly defined and provided for. Finally, this paper clarifies the role of the holy motivations behind occupation of the family members and reviews the life of the Prophet (pbuh) and his living expenses through religious literature. The above are only few of the many internal and external factors in family relations which can be implemented using the life of the prophets and especially the Prophet of Islam and the Infallible Imams as the model in life.

The Holy Quran regards family as a holy institution and calls all people to form one. Accordingly, it makes provisions and offers instructions on the permanence and stability of the families. This paper, therefore, is an attempt to investigate factors contributing to the stability of families. Included among the major factors contributing to this purpose, looked at from a Quranic perspective, are to observe moral principles and values such as piety and religiousness, to take on moral virtues, to be of equal position and proportion, to look for noble lineage in opting for one’s marriage partner, to show compassion and affection to one’s spouse, to assume responsibility for one’s family members specifically as regards to moral and ideological issues, to control one’s sexual tendencies and to direct them towards a system of marriage [rather than other types of sexual partnership], to maintain one’s moral obligations towards one another, to respect the rights of other family members, to reduce family conflicts and find a logical and fair method of conflict resolution.

According to the teachings of the Holy Quran, purification (tazkīyah) and education (ta’līm) are the two basic principles for the discipline of human beings, out of which purification is of a higher significance. Knowledge resembles some seeds the growth of which requires a suitable ground and purification serves as the ground for a perfect growth of such seeds without which knowledge will be partial and insufficient or even misleading. This study uses an analytic-descriptive methodology to review the Quranic verses concerning purification and education and the significance and the relation between these two Quranic concepts.

To provide a true and accurate account of Islam from a Quranic perspective, this study aims to offer a comparative analysis of the pillars of Islam which comprises its principles of faith (monotheism, prophethood, and resurrection) as well as its morality and ethics and rules and regulations with the pillars of Judaism and Christianity. This study confirms the supremacy of Islam in its principles and pillars, as Islam is a moderate and logic-based religion compared with the other two which go to extremes. Monotheism, for example, and theism in general as offered by the Quran means unity of a God who is unique, indivisible and far from human characteristics; monotheism in Judaism, however, considers similitude for God and Christianity acknowledges trinity, a belief in multiplicity of Gods, which is not attributable to God.

Resurrection is examined from a variety of perspectives such as its possibility, as well as its necessity and manner, and is proved through a variety of methods (rational, narrative, and Quranic). Allameh Tabataba’i has explored the issue of resurrection in his works from different perspectives using different methods. In his Commentary, he referred to several verses of the Quran to investigate the possibility of resurrection. In all, resurrection is proved through three types of Quranic verses, each of which provide one type of argument. The first argument is the power of God. The unending and unlimited power of God and His power in creation of man and the world are indicative of the realization of the Hereafter. The second argument is revival of the earth in the spring which is a sign of the revival of humans in the Hereafter, as man’s resurrection on the Day of Doom is based on the same principles as revival of the plants. The third argument refers to the objective instances of resurrection. The Quran offers a series of instances referring to the revival of the dead so objectively that all are accurate examples of the life after death.

One of the most significant issues discussed in both religion and science is the first creation of man and his generation. To prove consistency of Islam with the scientific beliefs in this respect can undoubtedly contribute to promotion of Islam, which serves as the major objective of the present research. Using a descriptive-analytic methodology, this paper seeks to examine Darwin’s theory of human evolution based on the outlook of Allameh Tabataba’i, the great philosopher and exegete of the world of Islam, as provided in Al-Mīzān Commentary. According to Allameh’s view, the verses of the Quran explicitly state that all human beings are decedents of Adam and Eve and are created through natural processes. However, the physical aspect of the creation of Adam and Eve is autonomous and directly from soil and mud and the spiritual aspect of their creation refers to the Divine Will and Divine Breathing. According to Darwin’s theory of evolution, man evolved from other animals as a result of the environmental requirements. One should admit, however, that this remains a scientific hypothesis which has not reached the level of scientific proof and certainty, as their proponents have failed to provide convincing responses to the challenges posed by scientists, philosophers and religious scholars. In view of Allameh Tabataba’i, there is consistency between science and religion and the theory of evolution remains a scientific hypothesis for which there is no absolute support, and even on the condition that it be true and given that it be supported by scientific and absolute evidence, the outward meaning of some verses of the Quran which reject this theory is open to interpretation.

Certain verses of the Quran have been provided as one of the arguments in favor of justice as a quality of each and every one of the so-called famous Companions of the Prophet. This paper investigates the said verses to illuminate their manner of argumentation as well as their degree of indication. The results confirm that the title of Sahābī (Companion of the Prophet), in its idiomatic usage, refers to its meaning adopted after the death of the Prophet and only in the subsequent periods it started to be used in this sense. Therefore, the word Sahābī, in the said sense, is not known in the Quran. As a result, if the Holy Quran praises some people of the Muslim community or gives them glad tidings, it is because of their qualities and their righteous deeds as believers, rather than because of their titles as Sahābī. Consequently, such praises go to those of the believers with those qualifications; yet, they are not absolute and are contingent upon certain conditions such as the believers’ bidding to good and forbidding the evil, or their final salvation and the like. Moreover, the verses invoked may at times refer to some specific individuals. For instance, one verse refers to those who swore allegiance at Hudaybīyya, and does not encompass all the Companions of the Prophet. Similarly, a verse may be so comprehensive and general that it may refer not to a specific group of people but to all Muslims. Finally, mere title of Sahābī is not regarded as a value in the Quran.
