Abstract

The Almighty God, who is pure goodness and perfection, and has called his servants to obey him and restrained them from sinning, has attributed to himself the adornment of the actions of all nations (believers, disbelievers and polytheists) in the verse "Kazāleka Zayannā lekolle ommaten amalahom" (As such we have made the actions of each nation seem pleasing). What is the meaning of decoration and in what way is it attributed to God is challenges that the commentators have faced in the interpretation of this paragraph. The current research that conducted by Descriptive-Analytical method has divided the viewpoints of the commentators in the interpretation of this paragraph into five types; it seems that first four types that have been named: "Literalistic", "interpretive", "specificationist" and "individualistic" viewpoints are not acceptable and each of which is rejected for some reasons; In the meantime, only the view that considers it to be in charge of the "social values" of the nations is acceptable. Social values are a type of variable social values, so they may be different in each society compared to another society, but because God created mankind in such a way that when human society is formed, values are recognized in it, God attributed these values to himself But this does not mean attributing misguidance and polytheism (and in general anti-values) to God, value consideration of these things is the result of false real perception that is attributed to humans themselves, what is attributed to God are credit perceptions based on that false real perception.
Keywords: Verse 108 of Surah An’am, Making Actions Seem More Pleasing, Social Values, Etebariat [Contingents].
