Considering the common components emphasized in various definitions of "Security" reveals that these definitions have predominantly focused on either its negative (removal of threats) or positive (provision of well-being) aspects, but have not concurrently addressed both dimensions. The central question of this research is to determine which components constitute security from the perspective of the Holy Quran and which aspect—negative or positive—is emphasized in the context of its formation.

Considering the common components emphasized in various definitions of "Security" reveals that these definitions have predominantly focused on either its negative (removal of threats) or positive (provision of well-being) aspects, but have not concurrently addressed both dimensions. The central question of this research is to determine which components constitute security from the perspective of the Holy Quran and which aspect—negative or positive—is emphasized in the context of its formation. The results of this study, using a descriptive-analytical method and employing the analysis of substitute concepts, indicate that security in the Quranic view consists of two main components, "Safety" and "Tranquility," the former being based on the negative aspect and the latter on the positive aspect. Within the semantic framework of the Holy Quran, the synergy of these negative and positive aspects yields a more complete level of security, referred to by the superior term "Salām" (peace). "Peace" is higher and more sublime than "Safety" because it describes a situation not only devoid of anything that causes human aversion but also replete with everything that is agreeable to human nature.

One of the fallacies raised by some critics, especially orientalists, is that the Prophet of Islam's behavior underwent a fundamental change from the Meccan to the Medinan period. They claim that his messages in the Meccan period were peaceful and mercy-oriented, but in the Medinan period, upon gaining power, he adopted a violent approach, and this is evident in the Meccan and Medinan surahs. To investigate this issue, a statistical study was conducted comparing the frequency of concepts related to violence and mercy in the Meccan and Medinan surahs of the Quran.

One of the fallacies raised by some critics, especially orientalists, is that the Prophet of Islam's behavior underwent a fundamental change from the Meccan to the Medinan period. They claim that his messages in the Meccan period were peaceful and mercy-oriented, but in the Medinan period, upon gaining power, he adopted a violent approach, and this is evident in the Meccan and Medinan surahs. To investigate this issue, a statistical study was conducted comparing the frequency of concepts related to violence and mercy in the Meccan and Medinan surahs of the Quran. The phrases related to mercy and violence were scored, and then the obtained values were normalized for analysis. The results show that the values for violence-based concepts are (0.20) in the Meccan surahs and (0.19) in the Medinan surahs. Furthermore, the concepts related to mercy are (0.24) in the Medinan surahs and (0.21) in the Meccan surahs. These findings indicate that the raised claim is not only unverifiable but that during the Medinan period, which was a time of establishing and expanding the government, a greater emphasis on mercy is observed. The content differences between the Meccan and Medinan surahs are attributed to the historical and social circumstances of each period. These results highlight the need for a re-evaluation of such interpretations and for attention to statistical methods for the analysis of religious and historical concepts.

AbstractVerse 172 of Surah al-Aʻrāf, known as the Verse of Dharr, expresses a covenant between God and humanity. The wisdom behind this covenant is the completion of God's argument against His servants on the Resurrection, countering the excuses of heedlessness or of having had polytheistic forefathers. This verse has been a focus for Qur'anic commentators since the era of the Imams, and due to disagreements regarding the modality by which the covenant was taken; it has led to numerous viewpoints. Accordingly, the present study, using a descriptive-analytical method, aims to answer the ...

AbstractVerse 172 of Surah al-Aʻrāf, known as the Verse of Dharr, expresses a covenant between God and humanity. The wisdom behind this covenant is the completion of God's argument against His servants on the Resurrection, countering the excuses of heedlessness or of having had polytheistic forefathers. This verse has been a focus for Qur'anic commentators since the era of the Imams, and due to disagreements regarding the modality by which the covenant was taken; it has led to numerous viewpoints. Accordingly, the present study, using a descriptive-analytical method, aims to answer the fundamental question: ‘What is the evolutionary trajectory of the commentators' views regarding the Verse of Dharr?’ The research findings indicate that throughout history, various views have been proposed concerning the "World of Dharr," including: the view based on narrations, the view of the covenant being taken through the prophets, the view of innate potentials, the view of the spiritual covenant, the view of the realm of dominion and sovereignty, and the view of innate disposition. Each of these proposed views is incomplete. The view of acknowledgment emerges as the most complete perspective regarding the World of Dharr.

Although the Holy Qur’an does not provide a detailed account of the creation of the universe, it contains verses that reveal various dimensions of cosmology. A precise understanding of these verses requires reliance on philosophical and rational foundations. Among such approaches, Sadrian philosophy (the Transcendent Philosophy), through principles such as the primacy of existence, gradation of being, substantial motion, and unity of existence, opens a new horizon for analyzing reality and, consequently, interpreting the Qur’anic verses on creation. The present study uses a descriptive–analytical ...

Although the Holy Qur’an does not provide a detailed account of the creation of the universe, it contains verses that reveal various dimensions of cosmology. A precise understanding of these verses requires reliance on philosophical and rational foundations. Among such approaches, Sadrian philosophy (the Transcendent Philosophy), through principles such as the primacy of existence, gradation of being, substantial motion, and unity of existence, opens a new horizon for analyzing reality and, consequently, interpreting the Qur’anic verses on creation. The present study uses a descriptive–analytical method and is based on Tafsir al-Qur’an al-Karim by Mullā Ṣadrā to explore how the foundations of Sadrian philosophy influence the interpretation of cosmological verses. The findings show that the interrelation of the concepts of creation, purpose, and glorification with the principle of existential poverty forms a coherent and dynamic system of Qur’anic cosmology. This system is grounded in the Transcendent Philosophy and allows for a philosophical and exegetical explanation of the continuity between the Creator and the created. The outcome of this research is that interpretation founded on Sadrian principles not only deepens the conceptual understanding of creation verses but also opens new horizons for integrating Islamic philosophy with Qur’anic exegesis.

Semantics investigates the transformation of word meanings within discourse. "Proximity to God" is one of the central Qur’anic concepts, and its semantic analysis is of particular importance for organizing the semantic network of Qur’anic vocabulary and for understanding the Book of Revelation's discourse on the relationship between human beings and God. Using a descriptive–analytical method, the present study seeks to identify and systematize the vocabulary related to proximity (Qurb) and to explain the process of semantic expansion of this term within the framework of paradigmatic ...

Semantics investigates the transformation of word meanings within discourse. "Proximity to God" is one of the central Qur’anic concepts, and its semantic analysis is of particular importance for organizing the semantic network of Qur’anic vocabulary and for understanding the Book of Revelation's discourse on the relationship between human beings and God. Using a descriptive–analytical method, the present study seeks to identify and systematize the vocabulary related to proximity (Qurb) and to explain the process of semantic expansion of this term within the framework of paradigmatic relations. The concept of proximity, in addition to reflecting the human–divine relationship, encompasses a wide range of meanings, including spatial, temporal, kinship-based, rank-related, protective, and power-related proximity. The findings indicate that the direct derivatives of the root (q r b), such as Aqrab, Qarīb, Qurbān, and Qurbāt, are predominantly employed within the semantic orbit of drawing near to God, whereas words related to Qurb in non-religious meanings function as expressions of nearness in non-divine contexts. Among the conceptual substitutes for Qurb, terms such as Dunuww, Ḥaḍar, Walī, Zulfā, and Muḥīṭ were identified, which respectively cover the domains of physical/spatial proximity, legal and social proximity, proximity in the occurrence of events, rank and status, and encompassing. Furthermore, a group of Qur’anic terms can be regarded as indirect substitutes for Qurb and classified among expressions related to the path of attaining proximity to God.

The Qur’an, an educational book with multilayered narratives, has strongly influenced dramatic arts in Iran since the establishment of the Islamic Republic. However, most contemporary Qur’anic plays focus narrowly on specific subjects, thereby diverging from comprehensive Qur’anic themes. This narrow focus has confined the works to repetitive and stereotypical surface-level topics. In the present study, the two plays Parizad of the City of the Forgotten and Four Chests are selected to identify, extract, and analyze the components of Qur’anic plays and the reflection of Qur’anic ...

The Qur’an, an educational book with multilayered narratives, has strongly influenced dramatic arts in Iran since the establishment of the Islamic Republic. However, most contemporary Qur’anic plays focus narrowly on specific subjects, thereby diverging from comprehensive Qur’anic themes. This narrow focus has confined the works to repetitive and stereotypical surface-level topics. In the present study, the two plays Parizad of the City of the Forgotten and Four Chests are selected to identify, extract, and analyze the components of Qur’anic plays and the reflection of Qur’anic themes in dramatic works, aiming to provide a comprehensive definition of Qur’anic drama. The main research question is: ‘What characteristics cause contemporary plays to be classified as Qur’anic artistic works?’ The research method is descriptive–analytical. By rigorously examining the selected plays' content for Qur’anic components, this study establishes that the authenticity of Qur’anic narratives lies in their thematic substance, which, when preserved, can be successfully adapted into various contemporary dramatic forms with diverse subjects and modes of expression. Therefore, it can be asserted that there is no essential functional or message-based distinction between religious and non-religious plays, highlighting the universal adaptability and relevance of Qur’anic themes within modern dramaturgy

The Qur'an is a divine book of guidance that addresses the factors of human felicity, as well as the roots of challenges, suffering, and hardship. This article traces the origins of human suffering in this world and its continuation into the intermediary and hereafter realms, examining the dichotomy between "Ḍank" and "Kabad" from the perspective of Qur'anic commentaries. The primary research question is: ‘Based on semantic analysis, what is the relationship between inherent and acquired human suffering, and how these concepts can be utilized to present a cognitive model of suffering in human life?’ The research method is analytical, conducted by examining the context of the verses, lexicons, and the views of both early and late exegetes. The findings indicate that "Kabad" denotes inherent and creational suffering that encompasses all human beings from birth to death, regardless of faith or disbelief, and serves as part of the path of spiritual development and growth. In contrast, "Ḍank" represents an acquired suffering resulting from turning away from the remembrance of God and distancing oneself from divine guidance; it has consequences both in worldly life and in the hereafter. The results of this study suggest that understanding the distinction between these two concepts can lead to the proposal of Qur'anic strategies for managing life's sufferings. Ultimately, this differentiation has led to the presentation of a dual strategic outlook for an active and meaning-making confrontation with the phenomenon of suffering in human existence. The innovation of this research, compared to previous studies, lies in offering a semantic, systematic, and educational reading of this Qur'anic dichotomy and the approach to its management
