The events related to the past tribes mentioned in the Holy Qur’ an show the divine traditions that govern society, and the tradition of istidraj (a divine tradition of indulging sinners in His blessings and their oblivion of asking for His forgiveness before He gradually punishes and destroys them) is one of the most important. The realization of this tradition is due to factors that have a lot to do with the behavior of society and knowing those factors can prevent society from being saved from destruction and at the same time bring the tendency to spirituality and move towards the ideal civilization. In order to discover these causes, the present study has collected the clearest verses related to it and extracted the necessary data from them and analyzed and organized them through using the method of thematic analysis. In this study, the basic, organizing and comprehensive themes were carefully clarified using the thematic analysis method and became the maps of the website network. The findings of this study indicate that the awareness of society by divine messengers to guide people and save the guided people, disobeying the teachings and fighting the divine messengers and fruitless attempts to guide, the spread of infidelity, oppression and sin in society, depriving people of Allah’ s grace due to lack of circumspection and understanding of the condition, delay of torment until the appointed time are the causes of the tradition of istidraj.

Comparative study is a practice of comparing the similarities and differences between the parties or sides being compared, and one of its benefits is the fixing of ambiguous points and the getting new information. Mary’ s (Maryam) place of delivery is one of these issues, and its comparative study is no exception to this benefit. In this regard, the present study, by using a comparative method and data analysis, compares the two Qur’ anic and biblical narratives from the place of Mary’ s delivery, and through this comparison, refers to a common point in "The birth of Christ in the village of Bethlehem". As for the points of difference, he says, from the point of view of the Bibles, this delivery took place in a manger or a cave, accompanied by Yusuf Najjar. However, according to the Qur’ an, Mary was alone during delivery and gave birth to Christ just under or next to the palm tree. Nevertheless, in terms of similarities, "delivery in a cave next to a palm tree" can also be deduced from the Bibles and interpretations of the Qur’ an. In analyzing the relationship between this delivery and the palm tree, some points can be reached, such as: 1. the fruiting of the dried palm confirms Mary’ s extraordinary conception. 2. The date palm is a pure tree, and Mary’ s delivery under it makes her free of defamation. 3. This delivery marks the ascension of Jesus since the palm symbolizes the ascension. 4. Dates are a useful and energizing food for women after delivery.

Shiite and Sunni scholars have authored numerous narrative interpretations of the Qur’ an. One of the narrative interpretations in the present era is the book Al-Tafsir Al-Athari Al-Jame ’ written by the late Ayatollah Mohammad Hadi Ma’ refat. This interpretation can be examined in several aspects: One of these aspects is the author’ s method in this interpretation. His method is composed of elements such as imaginary principles (concepts), affirmative principles (assumptions), and mechanisms and processes. In this study, only the mentioned elements are explained. First, the interpretive assumptions of Ayatollah Ma’ refat are dealt with in two topics: imaginary principles (concepts) and affirmative principles (assumptions). Imaginary principles are explained in the form of seven concepts and affirmative principles in the form of fourteen assumptions. The next section focuses on the methods of removing harm in the book. He mentions five methods for removing harm in the book and explains two methods. Then, in a threefold process, the method of finding the meaning of the verses is stated in the book Al-Tafsir Al-Athari Al-Jame ’ . In the third section, the tendency of interpretation is explained through statistical analysis and examination of titles. Based on the analysis of 738 titles, the interpretive tendency of Ayatollah Ma’ refat is moral, jurisprudential and then theological and based on Qur’ anic sciences, respectively.

Allah Almighty has sent the prophets to guide and educate human beings, and the Holy Qur’ an is the best source for recognizing the path of the prophets’ invitation (invitation towards God) and the typology of the interaction of the tribes with them. The first action of the prophets was to communicate with the society of their time, and the personality and social characteristics of the people of the society have played an important role in this regard. Therefore, the success of the prophets’ invitation and achieving a cohesive and purposeful society can be considered as the product of the approach arising from the personality and social spirits of the people of the society to the prophets. Therefore, the present study tries to examine the personality and social typology of the Israeli Society and its impact on the issue of social cohesion and the production of a religious system from the perspective of the Holy Quran. Through descriptiveanalytical method, this study has found that Israel (sons of Israel) is a people with having personality traits such as worldliness, disobedience, racism and social characteristics such as group rebellion, having favoritism in divine commandments, non-adherence to social obligations, had a direct and abundant effect in failure to fulfill a successful invitation, cohesive society and the production of the religious system in the time of Prophet Moses. This is an issue that can prevent any human society from achieving a cohesive religious society and a progressive religious system, despite having the basic infrastructure, the book of revelation and the divine prophet.

In the teachings of the Qur’ an, after Allah, human being is considered as the most fundamental issue. In issues related to human beings, education is especially important for people with special needs (exceptional children) and has a high status. In this study, which is of descriptive and documentanalytical type, the principles of education of students with special needs and the basics resulting from these principles have been studied from the perspective of the Qur’ an. These principles include paying attention to the human dignity of people with special needs, human beings having a common nature and different characteristics, human free will and the two principles of justice as the most basic social value and the supplementary goodness of justice. In this study, verses related to each of these principles were searched in the Holy Qur’ an and in addition to describing the current conditions of education of students with special needs, their educational principles were examined from the perspective of the Qur’ an and along with explanations related to each principle, verses with themes related to them were given in the study. Studies have indicated that for each of the principles of education of students with special needs, many verses are mentioned in the Holy Qur’ an and the education of students with special needs today is very much in line with the teachings of this heavenly book by moving towards comprehensive education.

The existing facts in the society show that the phenomenon of Islamic resistance, like other social phenomena, faces various challenges. Through examining the destructive effects of each of these challenges, it was found that the economic challenge is one of the most important and dangerous. Undoubtedly, neglecting any of these challenges and failing to deal with them will cause the foundation of the Islamic resistance to collapse. The present paper, which has been compiled by an analytical-descriptive method, while classifying the mentioned challenges in three sections-individual, social and policy-making-tries to use Qur’ anic solutions to solve them. The findings of this study suggest that the Holy Qur’ an has dealt with economic challenges related to economic resistance through providing appropriate solutions, such as strengthening the cognitive dimension of individuals, modifying the value propositions of the individual evaluation system, providing desirable behavioral frameworks, highlighting individual and social effects of adverse economic behaviors and recommending policy orientations commensurate with the intended results.

Muslims believe that the Holy Qur’ an is the most important source of the teachings of Islam and the only divine book and revelation that has remained without any change or distortion. Thus, explaining the revelation and identifying the different aspects of this divine book has always been in the focus of attention and research of Muslim thinkers. Despite considering this issue in recent decades, a number of Orientalists, including some Christian philosophers and theologians, have offered analyses and interpretations of revelation, many of which lead to the denial of revelation. In order to mention the truth of revelation and to clarify the correctness of the interpretations given by Orientalists and Christian theologians about revelation, and without addressing these analyses, we referred to the Qur’ an and asked the Holy Qur’ an what practical, capable, and content characteristics of revelation are. Through this descriptive-analytical study, we conclude that revelation has an external source from a practical point of view. From the capable point of view, it has characteristics such as competence, knowledge, understanding and being infallible from making mistakes, and from the point of view of content, it includes the guidance of human beings in the dimension of belief, ethics and practice. The results indicate the incorrectness of many of the analyses presented of revelation. Having a good grasp of the above-mentioned subjects rejects the acceptance of Orientalist analyses.
