The scientific authority of the Quran encompasses a breadth of concepts and subjects centered on the word of God, playing an irreplaceable role in the system of religious knowledge. The scientific authority of the Quran, which involves multiple interpretations, has a direct relationship with the comprehensiveness of the Quran and the perfection of religion. One dimension of the authority of the word of God is the modeling of the transmission of Quranic teachings in accordance with the varying situations and conditions of the target community. The present study aims to explore the model of the scientific authority of the Quran in relation to the process of social transformation among Muslims. A descriptive-analytical examination of this issue traces the various cognitive topics in the gradual descent of the revelations, aligning with the circumstances and conditions of society and its audiences, and demonstrating an intelligent and hopeful authority for the Quranic teachings in fostering growth and transformation within society. Based on verse 29 of Surah al-Fatḥ (order of revelation: 112), the teachings of the Quran encompass four transformative stages: The germination of the religious identity of believers; growth alongside the strengthening of the believing community in the face of cultural and ideological aggression against them; the development and perfection of the impact of religion in all spheres of human life; and the creation of opportunities for designing a cyclical evolution for the expansion of Islam in the period following the revelation of the Quran. This presents a comprehensive program for all cultural administrators and stakeholders in transformation-seeking communities.

Stylistics, as a scientific discipline, derives from the methods of expression and the reasons for choosing one form of expression over another, as well as the relationships between the expression and its speaker. The primary application of stylistics is in the literary aspect of texts. This study utilizes stylistics as a tool for understanding the structure and style of the Quran. The present study, with a descriptive-analytical method and library study, aims to examine the stylistics of single-Ᾱyah stories in the Quran and conducts a linguistic analysis at three levels: phonetic, lexical, and grammatical. The linguistic features found in the single-Ᾱyah stories of the Quran cause a variation in style. Among the elements that have the most significant impact on the stylization of the stories is the element of repetition. The technique of repetition emerges with various functions at the levels of letters, words, and sentences. Additionally, elements such as contrast, conditional sentences, exclamatory sentences, nominal sentences, and emotional expressions transform the audience's feelings based on the specific aim of each story. Stylistic changes occur under the influence of various factors in these stories, and the style changes in accordance with the meanings and objectives of the narratives. By employing linguistic characteristics and rhetorical elements, the style of speech varies based on the audience's state and the specific goals of the narrative. Stylistic changes such as the number of verbs, changes in the arrangement and frequency of letters, and changes in the tone of the style of the narratives correspond to their content and expressive style

This study explores the intertextual relationships and conceptual chaining present in the punishment and mercy narratives of the four stories in Surah al-Naml. The primary objective is to identify and analyze the conceptual and semantic links that unify the stories within this chapter of the Quran. Employing a qualitative approach, the research utilizes content analysis and thematic analysis to investigate the narratives’ conceptual and textual connections at both micro and macro levels. The data comprises the verses related to the four stories in Surah al-Naml, analyzed through a comparative framework. Initially, the study defines key concepts such as intertextuality and conceptual chaining, followed by a discussion of the relevant theoretical background. The comparative analysis reveals robust intertextual links and intricate conceptual chains that enhance the coherence and semantic structure of the Surah. The findings demonstrate that these interrelations not only facilitate a deeper understanding of the narratives’ meanings but also contribute to a more accurate and comprehensive interpretation of the chapter’s themes. This aligns with the objectives of Surah al-Naml, which are to admonish and warn its audience. The research underscores the significance of examining intertextual relationships and conceptual chaining in Quranic studies, suggesting that such approaches can uncover new semantic and interpretive dimensions in religious texts. Furthermore, the study’s findings offer potential advancements in educational methodologies and Quranic exegesis, providing valuable insights for scholars and commentators

The story of Adam has been and is the place of the contradiction of the religion. In the meantime, examining how the commentators are exposed to the text and explaining the logic of their understanding is an important place in understanding how to think in the course of interpretation. Ayatollah Javadi Amoli's trilogy study of the knowledge of "world, human and knowledge" under the verses of 34-34 can lead us to this important. The triple concentration of the logic of understanding in this story is on anthropology and the determination of the coordinates of the perfect human being in his relationship with God as the caliph and with the angels in the rank of the disciples of the caliph. From this point of view, the name of science, which is the source of the caliphate, has been inflated in all human beings, and the will is the cause of human flourishing in its dignity or hidden and the fall of animal and evil. This scene, in the viewpoint of cosmology, is transcendent and apart from the possibility of error, and the opposite is the material world as the position of the elemental body of man and the origin of his evolutionary movement. In the epistemological dimension, the interpreter believes in the knowledge of the basis of the gender of knowledge in the longitudinal worlds, in which the world of declarations in the intellect and the legal existence of human beings fall into the existence of the existence of self -sufficiency.

Organizational communication is an important and pervasive topic that significantly impacts the resolution of internal conflicts and issues external to the organization. Communication connects the organization in such a way that without it, understanding, coordination, and collaboration within organizations become impossible. Since the foundations and principles of organizational communication in a religious society differ from those in a non-religious society, the present study aims to answer the questions of what constitutes the basis of a right-centered approach and how it plays a role in designing the principles of organizational communication from the perspective of the Quran, using a descriptive-analytical method. Various foundations and principles can be derived for organizational communications; however, this research is dedicated to the basis of a right-centered approach as one of the most fundamental bases. The findings indicated that the components making up the foundation of a right-centered approach include: The truth of God, the truth of religion, the truth of the impeccable Imams, the truth of angels, and the truth of the resurrection. These components guide individuals to adhere to the principles of truthfulness, truth-hearing, and truth-seeking.

One of the key aspects of structural semantics is the consideration of the issue of signification that paying attention to the types of denotative, implicative, and entailment significations is a strategy for discovering the meanings of words. The present study aims to translate the word "Ummī" based on its denotative significations and to present the meanings and interpretations of translators and commentators that are often based on entailment signification. It also seeks to refute their theories based on other verses and provide a new meaning. Accordingly, it begins by stating the primary meaning of the root "Umm," and based on that, it interprets all the roots of this word in terms of denotative signification. It then views the meaning of "Ummī" as illiteracy or other interpretations as entailment signification, which reflect a certain influence of the translators’ prior theological backgrounds, thereby hindering their ability to convey the original meaning of the word effectively. However, based on the denotative signification of the word "Ummī," meaning "Original," this meaning is evident in all its derivatives and aligns more closely with the root of the word. Also, based on the text and context, it is more consistent with sentences and phrases than other meanings.
