The underlying of all the directions in one’s life is his ideas and beliefs. Therefore, belief plays the most important role in the man’s personal and social life. Throughout the ages, poetry has been one of the two powerful media influencing public opinion which its spoken effect as the lasting art work is important. Whether in the age of ignorance or in the era of Islam, poetry has been used in all cases. Arabic poetry had its progression almost consistently from the age of ignorance until the end of the Umayyad period and there was little change and evolution over time. However, starting with the Abbasid Caliphate, a dramatic development appeared in poetry, literature and even the Arab culture which its greatest manifestation was in the theological subjects. This paper compares the theological views: Imamieh, Ash'arites and Mu'tazilites and examines the influence of determinism on Arabic poetry. It also considers the fact that such poets as: Bashar Ibn Bard, Abol Atahieh, Homeyri,… partly because of their commitment to the theological concepts could avoid the poetic contents. And finally it studies the poems of Abol Atahieh, who had been one of the well-known poets and proved some theological beliefs in his poems.

Mus'haf of Fatima (S.A) is considered as one of the sources of Imam’s knowledge in Shia's Hadith which sometimes was called as kitab (book).The aim of these pages is to study the nature and attribute of this source of Imam’s knowledge and to answer the questions about it by documentary research method and with a descriptive-analytical approach and by theological method. This study asserts that the purpose of this Mus'haf was to console Fatima (S.A) and to reveal her spiritual sole. The appellation of Mus'haf doesn’t have correlation to the content of this book, because according to many Of Shia hadith, this book didn’t include Quran. The writer of this mus'haf was Amir Al-Muminin Ali, the inspirer was Gabriel, and contained the events on the future time.

This study investigated the factors of strengthening the religious identity of high school students in Islamshahr in1390. The population of study were 21/824 male and female high school students from Islamshahr. The questionnaire of the study was made by the researchers with a Likert scale of five options. The reliability of the questionnaire was 0.81 using Cronbach's alpha. To test the validity, the content validity was used and the questionnaire was approved by the faculty of religious professionals. The results showed that the parents’ literacy level has a significant relationship with the strengthening of students' religious identity. Testing the hypotheses also showed with 99 percent confidence that all nine factors; basic questions; meaningful life, positive approach to the future, unity of belief, features of civilization, strengthening social acceptance, considering dignity, making sense of the world and withstanding suffering and disasters are all influential in strengthening the religious identity of students. To determine the priority of the influence of each factor, Friedman test was used. The results showed that the impact of factors are not the same. The factor of basic questions is the most and the features of civilization are the least effective ones.

Theologians consider miracle as a support for the accuracy of the call of prophets which is in two forms of action and promise. The promise miracle, which the Holy Quran is the most prominent example, includes two characteristics. One of the two is wisdom which governs the content and the other is eloquence, which indicates the style and the form. This article, "The brevity of the Holy Quran as a miracle" has explored the function of brevity in the Holy Qur'an which is the most important promise miracle. The authors of this paper explain the philosophy of the brevity in the verses of the Holy Quran and its semantics and analyze the evidence of brevity with the rhetorical rules. The study suggests that Makki verses have more brevity and the amount of summarizing is more than deletion throughout the Holy Quran.

With no doubt, the human dignity is of great concern in different religions and for human rights scholars. In Islam, according to Quranic verses and Islamic traditions, the inherent dignity of human has always been considered and recommended. What is understood from Quran is the identical view of human reality. In the current situation that the Muslim world confronts the West's doctrines of human rights, the issue of human inherent rights is greatly expected. In this paper, using the verse 70 of Surah Esra’a, the inherent value and dignity of human has been introduced as a common human attribute. The method of research in this study is descriptive- analytic with the use of library resources and techniques.

Due to the human word and content of the Holy book and its inability to meet the intellectual and spiritual needs of the human, many western scholars, despite different perceptions of religious experience, consider revelation the same as religious experience,. But this cannot be true about the Islamic revelation because of many reasons and considering revelation similar to the human experience has many problems. This paper explains and analyzes different interpretations and views expressed about the religious experience and presents the authors own view. It also introduces the revelation and its truth through explaining the experience of prophets and its difference with other people’s experience. Finally, it examines the differences between revelation and religious experience.

Monotheism constitutes one’s individual beliefs and the central core of his or her worldview. Hence, it is a major component of a person’s knowledge. On this basis, it has been the first and the foremost call of all the messengers of God. This importance and sensitivity has caused the constant observation of the principles, components and frameworks of such faith by various schools, scientific groups and different sects and which actions and behaviors would change a man from a monotheist to a polytheist and what should be done to avoid it. Resort is a very sensitive and highly regarded issue in this context which is not only compatible with monotheism but also strengthening this belief. The meaning of monotheism and its truth, the action of resort and its reality, and defining the boundaries of these two and coordinating the resorting actions with the guidance of Koran, Prophets, and Imams, are the main aims of the present study. This paper, through library research and analytic-descriptive approach and the use of library resources, provides answers to some key questions and solves some uncertainties in this regard.
