Abstract

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.
