In the Qur'an, various qualities have been mentioned for the heart, making it difficult to summon them and represent a clear picture of the nature of the heart. Some features indicate that the heart is the same organ that lies in the chest and, from the perspective of contemporary knowledge, performs the task of circulating the blood in the body. Other features of the heart are centered on emotions and emotions, and all human activities of the human being. Thus, many attempts have been made to theorize about the nature of the heart in the Qur'an, and various views have been presented. In this study, by reviewing and categorizing different uses of the heart in the Holy Quran, we will find a way to better understand its nature. It seems that accepting that the heart is the same body in the Qur'an is more consistent with the Qur'anic evidence, although, of course, the causes and reasons for this body, like the center of perception, require other ethnographic studies that have preceded this understanding in different civilizations. The study, in its current form, is an attempt to understand a section of the historical transformations of the heartbeat in Islamic culture

An important aspect of the Qur'anic dialogue is observing and not-observing rules of politeness in the intended talks. This research seeks to study the effects of politeness and impoliteness in the talks between Pharaoh and Moses(A), relying on Brown and Levinson (1987) and Culpeper (1996). This research is to answer the question how and in what direction the use of politeness and impoliteness strategies is based on the socio-economic, and participatory power. The results show the more polite speech of Moses and the impolite speech of Pharaoh, the greatest combination of strategies in the verses, the use of the high rate of all the strategies of politeness by Moses(A), and the use of the highest rate of all impoliteness strategies by the Pharaoh. The findings of the research also indicate the importance of the study of politeness and impoliteness as a socio-pragmatic phenomenon that links religion and ethics. This study, with the help of new linguistic theories, introduces a new horizontal perspective to the audience in order to better understand the verses of the Quran and its interpretations.

The adherence of a reading to the Accepted Uthmanic Text (Rasm al-Mushaf) is one of the important criteria in accepting the reading. This Criterion which promulgated after Uthmanic collection of the Quran for the purpose of excluding some companions’ Readings, has had a lot of changes in later times. Criterion of Rasm was at first used to represent the adherence of a reading to the written text generally, but in later times it was examined in more detail.  In addition, there had been some Readers who payed less attention to the written text of the Quran which led to serious conflictions in some cases like Ibn Shanabudh’s case. In general, the criterion of adherence to Rasm al-Mushaf has had five important historical stages as the following: 1- starting to pay attention to the written text of the Quran as a criterion; 2- promulgation of the discourse of Rasm al-Mushaf; 3- widespread use of Rasm al- Mushaf in reasonings; 4- stabilization of Rasm al-Mushaf criterion 5- final revising of Rasm al-Mushaf criterion.

Advisedly strategy is a kind of interpretative attitude that has been used among the holy Qoran interpretors in different times. Considering this attitude, Tabari interpretation translation is one of the most important interpretations. One of the important and considerable factors in the advisedly strategy is the existence of the fluctuations between Tabari interpretation translators and some of the readers cultural believes. In the other words this interpretation has been translated according to the peoples cultural believes of the same era. So this research is to answer the followibg questions, using descriptive and analyzing methods.what are the different dimensions of the fluctuations between Islamic and Iranian cultures in this interpretive translation ? and what are advisedly atittude points in this interpretation?In a general view we can emphasize this research result in this basic point that these interptetation authors have reflected the Iranian culture ponts in this work and by this mean,they have tried to link this culture to the Islamic culture.

One of the basic issues in studying the History of Quran, is the script that was used in the Arabia and Arab territories. Discovering the origin and chronology of the developments of this script is considered important in understanding the accessibility of Muslims to proper styles of writing in order to record their holy scripture. The Islamic traditions on the issue constitute of inconsistent and isolated narrations and views. According to these reports Muslim scholars and orientalists have suggested variant hypotheses on the origin and development of the Arabic script. On the other hand in the recent decades with the rise of discovery of material evidence in Arabia and Arab region, paleographers have reached definite conclusions on the beforementioned subject. Among these achievements is the origination of the Arabic script from the Nabatean script, showing that this script has evolved during a period of several hundred years, as well as the fact that the scripture was used 200 years before Islam in different northern areas. The comparative study of the Islamic reports and material evidence, thus, reveals the defects of the reports, in addition to criticizing the alternative theories of Syriac or Southern origins for the Arabic script, lack of proper script for writing in the newly established Islamic nation of Hijaz, as well as the possibility of writing the Quran in other scripts.

Linguistics has long been considered by Islamic scholars. One of the topics of linguistics is the ability to translate contextual meanings into the audience, and various ideas have been presented to examine this issue. In this essay, based on one of the ideas of the newly begging and welcomed by Islamic scholars, the evolutionary theory of the coherence of the text of Michael Holliday and Raghieh Hassan, has examined the text integrity of the two famous translations of the Qur'an, the Safavid translation and Bahrampour. The discussion of coherence in three levels of grammatical, lexical, and transitive can be considered; Among the studies carried out in this paper, the evaluation of the efficiency of two Bahrampour and Safavid translations with a comparative-analytical approach is a new approach for validating the present translations. The Holy Qur'an has been mentioned. Therefore, in this study, by implementing this theory, the two translations mentioned above and using the statistical and graphical method, the convexity and correspondence of most of the Safavid translation with the theory of Holliday and Hassan in the blessed Qur'an, were achieved, and one can, In the framework of this theory, the Safavid translation is more coherent than the translation of Bahrampour.
