The purpose of this study is clarifying the reason for the increase of abnormal behavior and decrease of normative one in private places. The research method used in this survey is descriptive – analytical one. According to this study, disparity of behavior in private and public is due to the absence and presence of others.

Modesty is an emotional state of disapproval and disgust experienced upon witnessing unacceptable act which results in refraining from it. The Conclusion drawn from this study is that the presence of others is an important source of self-control and behavioral management. Thus, this important resource can be used to correct behavior, develop self-control, and make people perform good deeds and avoid wrong ones.

Salutation by expressing Salam and also cursing are manifestations of God's Mercy, firmly related to tawalla (association with the infallibles) and tabarra (dissociation from the enemies of Islam). This issue has always suffered from extremes; it is necessary, therefore to obtain a correct understanding of it. The Holy Quran has attended to both issues, never neglecting one due to another. According to the teachings of the Quran, Allah (SWT) is Himself Salam (source of peace) never offending His servants; But His servants some have receded from His mercy, embracing His curse, while others have been subject to a special divine salute. In this article, the causes bringing about curse or salutation have been studied in the Holy Quran. These factors can be divided into two groups: cognitive and behavioral .Faith is the most important cognitive factor contributing to Divine peace; contrarily disbelief, heresy, and hypocrisy lead to God’s cursing. In terms of behavior, righteousness and piety, following guidance and having patience can be considered as the most important factors underlying Divine peace. While concealing the signs of God, acting unjustly, breaking covenant, corrupting, misleading others, killing, lying, slander and abusing the Prophet are considered as behaviors that will drive away humans from God's mercy, leading them to His cursing.

‘Ayishah Abdorrahman, known as Bint- Ashshati, is one of the Arab scholars and contemporary experts on Quranic studies whose Quranic views have witnessed much attention in these last several decades. According to her own explanations, she has been under the influence of the linguistic school propagated by her teacher, Amin Khuli. It can be said, therefore, that “al-tafsir al-Bayani”, one of her most prominent works, is the result of her thoughts nourished from that of Amin Khuli.of her most important principles in understanding Quran are the following: 1-The unity of subject in the suras which have been revealed entirely at once and in the segments revealed simultaneously in other suras; 2-No synonymy in Quran; 3-No enforcement of grammatical rules on Quran; 4-Intertexuality of Quranic verses. In this article Ayishah bint-Ashshati has been introduced and Amin Khuli’s viewpoints concerning the linguistic school of interpretation and these four principles due to their key role in Bint-Ashshati’s interpreting method have been discussed.

The geographical study of Quranic stories and comparative survey of the views of Qur'anic commentators and that of the Old Testament concerning the Israilite crossway in the sea, uncovers many historical and interpretative ambiguities and can be a keystone for geographical approach to quranic interpretations. The Story of Moses (AS), the most detailed story in the Qur'an, has also been fully mentioned in the Old Testament with historical details and explanations concerning the geographical location where Moses and his followers crossed the sea and where the enemies pursuing them had been drowned. In order to specify the location of this sea, the quranic exegeses and that of the Old Testament, geographical sources, maps and satellite images have been studied. Among the various theories about the location of this Sea the theory of the Gulf of Aqhaba, was considered best supported and the interpretational, scientific, geographical and archaeological evidences have been mentioned. Meanwhile the arguments in support of the Nile theory have been assessed. In this study, geographic maps and satellite images have as far as possible to been quoted.

One of the downfalls in marriage, which happens for both men and women and leads to serious crisis, is noshuz (recalcitrance). The verses 34 and 128 of Surah al-Nisa’ have dealt with this social problem, suggesting the way of confronting it and proposing the remedy for it consistent with the status and role of each one of men and women in family life. The different remedy proposed in the mentioned verses in facing the noshuz (recalcitrance) of men and women has been open to serious debates that has raised critiques or at least questions concerning them. In this article the meaning, causes, results and status of noshuz has been discussed and the reason for the flaws seen in various interpretations of these verses have been considered the neglecting in distinguishing between the meaning and the denotation of noshuz. According to this study the noshuz of both men and women are identical and the practical difference in confronting them rises from the living characteristics of each. In addition, this article, mentioning two different approaches to the issue, has tried to recollect evidence in support of the second approach from the memory of the traditional and Quranic culture.

In his study of Fakhr’s point of view, Allamah Tabatabayi answers his. Debates over his arguments and indicates the twelve Imams as the exclusive denotations of the term. In this article this verse’s interpretation has been comparatively studied, justifiying the restriction of the term in the twelve Imams and revealing the serious flaws in Fakhr’s point of view and in his critiques of the Shia position concerning the term.
