One of the unique and special aspects of holy Quran is its "Moghattae" letters.These letters contain the secrets which can only be revealed by Infallible Imams and according to the holy verse "whosoever possess knowledge of the book." (Holy Quran. 13:43), the knowlege of the depths of holy Quran is given to the Imam Mahdi in the Night of Destiny "Shabe Qadr". The Exalted name of Allah is inferred from these letters by holy Prophet and Imams.There are many teachings and points on unity of God in holy Quran which Bada is one of them; the truth nature of Bada is defined as the unlimited Will of God: It means to bring nonexistance into existance and vice versa.Besides Bada, holy Quran includes the knowledge of Former Worlds (Existance) such as divine nature, spirits, Zar World, ...The sciences of Quran are mentioned concisely in Quran and their explanation is on infallible Imams. As our infallible Imams did not find the time to explain and illucidate these sciences, quite a few number of them remained unrevealed. The Quran’s sciences widely differ from philosophical sciences. In this article, some of these differences have been pointed out.

"Nashikh" and "Mansokh" are regarded as the most abstruse and complicated sciences of Quran which are also dealted with in "Fiqh" and "Principles of Fiqh".These two concepts are so important that learning them become obligatory for the one who wants to issue religious commands (Ifta´).In this article, the usage of the word “Naskh” with reference to several interpretational points of sunnis has been reviewed: "Naskh"here comes in the meanings of "register and copy", "replacing" and "destorying", mentioned in 4 verses of holy Quran."Nasikh" and "mansokh" has also defined in traditions of infallible Imams. Besides reviewing the above-mentioned meanings, the author briefly introduced the books and works of shia and sunni religious scholars on "Naskh" and reviewed "Naskh" in two parts, of "former religions" and "a command of Islamic orders"; Doubts about "Naskh" and the reasons behind its appearance in the "comprehensive Religion" are also discussed in this article. The author tries to explain the relation between command and recitation in "Naskh" according to sunni’s sources and defined the four ways of recognizing "Nasikh" and "Mansokh".

In this article, the author puts emphasis on the point that the invitation to God and holy Prophet’s prophethood befor "Yaum al-Dar" was open and appearant and the thing which was covert were the issue of vilayat and vesayat of Imam Ali.To prove this, the author takes a look over "the life of holy Prophet and Prophethood era with emphasis on Quran, begining of open invitation, and declaring Imam Ali’s khilafat", claiming that holy Prophet’s secret and covert invitation to God in his first 3-year of prophethood is a baseless and contradictory issue. Further, the author asserts that "Yaum al-Dar" was to announce Imam Ali’s khilafat and vilayat.The 7-fold tradition of "Yaum al-Dar" from "al-Ghadir" of learned Amini, are reviewed and several reactions of Ghoraysh after "Yaum al-Dar" and holy Prophet’s decision are outlined here.

In the books of traditions, there are some traditions which need to be tested content-wise by holy Quran or life of Prophet to be accepted or rejected.In this case, the general criterion in accepting or rejecting these traditions is their accordance or discordance with Quran and life of Prophet.To this reason, comparing traditions by Quran and life of Prophet was always done by scholars of Imamia. In this article, the view point of Sheikh Ansari is studied in two parts: 1) Incompatabality with Quran.2) Lack of any credit or resemblance in Quran and life of Prophet.Those traditions which lacks the face resemblence or compatability with Quran but at the same time do not disagree them, are regarded as exceptions.

Recognizing God in "Zar World" and confessing this knowledge has been mentioned in Quran and traditions and great religious scholars have been explained their ideas and view points in this regard. In this article, view points of 15 great scholars from 11 centry to 13 centry from Sheikh Baha´ i (1030) to Sayyed Abdullah Shobbar (1242) have been gathered and following them, some discussion like the difference between Zar world and spirit world, precreation of spirit over body, doubts about Zar world have been reviewed.

Ayattullah Jafari wrote some commentries on Al Hujjah book, some of these commentries - in the chaptor of "the narrators of traditions or the people which are mentioned in the traditions" - are based on "Ansab" science and some of these belief commentries are about Bada, God’s will, Absence of Imam Musa al-Kazim.The most part of this article is about Imam Mahdi. The following are several topics which have been discussed and reviewed in this article: including the short and long Occultations, ideas of sunni scholars about Imam Mahdi, ideas of Ibn Khaldon, Sheikh Ahmad Muhammad Shakir. Religious orders of "Rabet al-Alam al-Islami", special and public deputies of Imam Mahdi, Shia beliefs about the location of Imam Mahdi - Sardab - and the reason of respecting it, avoidance of calling his holliness by his special name.

In the series articles by Mr. Biabani Oskouei, "Gnosis of God" was regarded as "the Act of God and His blessing" and the concept of acquiring this knowledge based on Quran and traditions was rejected. In this essay, the author tries to answer these questions: If "Gnosis of God" is Act of God and is only from God, why is it regarded as the man’s duty to accept it?What is the role of Prophets in creating this knowledge and understanding it by logic?In cases where God puts instruments and tools for gaining knowledge, these instruments are instruments, therefore what is the meaning of God’s direct creation and if they are ineffective, what are they needed for? In order to prove God’s full one-and-only Power, the rejectionists of "Elliyat" principle refused the impact of middle causes; neglecting the fact that "being middle causes of some other cause" (sababbiyat) is created and endowed by God the Alimighty Himself.
