Abstract

The Quran frequently uses ‘the promise and threat language’. It threatens some groups with endless torment and promises some others everlasting Paradise. Islamic theologians have pondered upon the threats of the Quran and have offered various views on their meanings and intentions. Va’eediyyeh scholars consider them all binding. Shiite and Ash’arite theologians consider the breaking of threat not only allowable but also obligatory. The most important challenge facing this group is that considering the breaking of threat permissible denotes the falsehood of God’s word. This question has received different answers which have, then, been scrutinized. In this paper, different answers are given to this question and they are, then examined and criticized. The outcome of this survey suggests that none of the given answers is acceptable. Then, a different point is raised: contrary to the conception of theologians, ‘the promise and threat language’ in the Quran is a special discourse with its own special features and since it does not have a descriptive nature, it does not lend itself to DESCRIPTIVE LANGUAGE. The paper further examines the features of ‘the promise and threat language’ in three parts:1. ‘The promise and threat language’ is the language of fear and hope; hence any interpretation of it that is not compatible with ‘the fear and doctrine’ is not acceptable.2. Accordingly, this is a general language and is far away from particularity; thus, interpretations that consider threats and even promises conditional in order to solve the falsehood of God’s word deny the function of this language.3. And, accordingly, this is an ambiguity-oriented language in denoting realities and is far from vividness in this respect. Thus, insistence on its denoting realities or being symbolic is incompatible with its function.
