Consideration and contemplation of signs of creation lead to theism. In his Nahj al-Balāgha, Imam Ali (AS) has repeatedly drawn attention to this fact. In general, he enumerates the wonders of nature, invites people to ruminate over them, and stresses that signs of God’s grandeur are prevalent in the world of creation. This study is an attempt to explore the relationship between signs of creation and theism in Imam Ali’s words.

Throughout history, Sufis have made substantial contributions to Islamic culture and the Qur’anic sciences, investigating different subjects using exegesis and interpretation. Among them is sirāt al-mustaqīm (literally the right path) which has, thus, undergone continuous evolution and been accompanied by concepts such as insān al-kāmil (literally the perfect man) which were formulated by Sufi masters like Ibn Arabi. This article is an attempt to investigate sirāt and sirāt al-mustaqīm in the Qurani’c discourse and its exegeses as well as Sufi works, including Ibn Arabi’s. Finally, the two approaches are compared and contrasted.

Throughout history, scientists have sought to offer a true definition of health as a concept closely related to human life. Moreover, spiritual health has managed to hold the attention of W.H.O. in recent years. The purpose of this article is to determine the humanistic principles of spiritual health on the basis of the Qur’anic teachings. Analysis of the Qur’anic teachings show that the cosmos, human, and life have two aspects: physical and metaphysical, corporal and spiritual, physical and spiritual. Human is hay muta’alleh (literally the divine living) whose health is inextricably linked with monotheism. The spiritual health is also intertwined with the concept of qalb-e salīm (literally the healthy heart). Knowledge, faith, and good behavior seem to be the three principles of spiritual health. In sum, the Qur’anic spiritual health covers (a) the health of soul through the recognition and attainment of monotheism and (b) the health of behavior through promotion of virtues and abstention from vices. Therefore, the spiritual health in the Qur’an is completely different from the secular's ones.

A brief look at the Holy Qur’an demonstrates that each single verse brims with illuminative and innovative lessons; therefore, Muslims must tap this valuable educational source to facilitate the growth of the Islamic nation. This research aims to locate educational innovations in the Holy Qur’an in three forms of analogy, allegory, and addressing. It also aims to exploit the findings to train humans displaying Islamic behavior. Conducting a library research, the researchers came to the following conclusions: 1- The Holy Qur’an brims with innovations in education and teaching. 2- Exemplary humans trained on the basis of these innovations are given in the Holy Qur’an. 3- Tapping these innovations helps to introduce exemplary humans to other societies.

This article is a comparative study of the infallibility of prophets as well as its nature and meaning in the Holy Qur’an and Testaments. While both acknowledge the infallibility of prophets in reception and dissemination of the divine message, the Holy Qur’an gives some instances of tark al-awlā (literally abandoning that which was better) committed by the prophets, and Testaments consider them to be prone to sins.

Monotheism and ikhlās (literally sincerity) have always topped the divine agenda followed by the holy prophets. According to the Holy Qur’an, humans and genies were solely created to worship God sincerely. Not only “sincerity”, but also words and phrases such as “desiring His goodwill”, “who submits himself entirely to Allah”, “if they were sincere to Allah”, “who sells himself to seek the pleasure of Allah”, “only seeking the countenance of Allah”, “pure”, “devote yourself to Him” all prove this claim. While some scholars denounce worship for the sake of entering paradise or avoiding hell against sincerity, it is hypocrisy and worship for the sake of winning worldly gains which is against sincerity. Therefore, sincerity varies according to the knowledge of the worshipper and has, thus, different stages. This article addresses sincerity in belief, worship, zakāt, khoms, hajj, umrah, jihād, infāq, it’ām, bai’at, hijrat, witnessing, alms-giving, and so on. Allah the Almighty refers to prophets as mukhlīs (literally sincere) servants who asked nothing for their mission.

The Holy Qur’an was revealed in a society whose language was greatly eloquent; thus, it naturally used familiar words and expressions to communicate with them. Moreover, pre-Islamic Arab poems – the treasure trove of Arab poetry, literature, and culture – mirrored the richness of the language in which they were composed. The present paper seeks to investigate the semantic relationships between the pre-Islamic Arab poems and the Holy Qur’an in order to locate their semantic overlaps. The great number of the words shared between the two confirms the eloquence of the common words, small temporal distance between the composition of poems and revelation of the Holy Qur’an, and the pre-Islamic nature of poems.
