Principles of comprehending and interprenting Kur'an is one of the new subjects in Kur'anic studies. Professor Shahid Motahhari as was an expert in Islamic Sciences was also an authority in Kur'anic Sciences and its commentary but he didn't find the opportunity to write an exclusive book on this issue. In this article we have gathered scattered data from his different works including his most important one in this field, called" shenakht-e-Kur'an" in which he has discussed this subject by name of Principles of understanding and interpreting Kur'an. These principles can be divided into two categories: those related la its attribution to Allah and to its denotation. The principles of the latter kind are: comprehensibility of Kur'an, language of Kur'an, independence of Kur'an in its denotation, referring mutushabehat to muhkamat, keeping away from avarice, interpreting according to determined, scientific data, universality and eternality of Ku'ran. In addition to these, being familiar with different knowledge’s that are influential in understanding Kur'an such as Arabic language, history of Islam, occasion of revelation and hadith, reflection, having insight are other important elements in understanding Kur'an, observing which will be the means to achieving correct understanding and avoiding any deviation. Key words: Principles of comprehending and interpreting: attributive principles. Denotative principles, comprehensibility of Kur'an, language of Kur’an, being independent in denotation. Interpreting according to determined and scientific data, universality and eternality of Kur'an, required- knowledge, influental elements in understanding, reflection

With respect to the profound knowledge of 'Allame Tabatabaee about the Qur'anic terms, their interrelationships and their context, polysemy has been analysed in his commentary on the Qur'an although it is not directly referred to. Today in linguistic and semantic discussions on words with multiple senses, Sunni Qur'anic researchers investigate it in the field of homonomy as " Aspects and Such as": while Shi'a researchers such as Molla Sadra and 'Allame Tabatabaee place it within the field of polysomy and general denotation. It is in this case that Qur'an's value is elaborated on the basis 01" the new methodology whereby the miracle of its formula and sense shows itself up. As a result Qur’an and Islamic teachings are no more isolated among the young generation and Islam can he propagated more effectively.

The term "Kufr" is one of the most significant clue words in the Holy Qur'an. This term has an important role in the ethical-religious system of Qur'an (with a negative value). This is not only the core meaning which other negative values encircle it, hut by even a simple survey in Qur'un, we become convinced that the role of the meaning of Kufr is so great that its presence can be felt in every statement and verse concerning human ethic and behavior. In this article the focal words of "Kufr" in its Kur'anic usage are identified and elucidated and their sense relation in their semantic construction is examined and analysied as to identity the semantic field of the term Kufr and the words related to it.

There are some proofs from the early period of Islam that Muslim women had an active role in the society. They participated in different fields: political, military, social and Cultural. By training Muslims and issuing some regulations, the Holy Prophet (SAWA) tried to avoid any corruption to take place as well as women's talents to go waste. Therefore some regulations have been prescribed by Kur'an and hadith for women's participation in society. Some of these refer to both men and women, including having suitable conversation and prohibiting nakedness, staring and being in private. Some others are exclusively for women as observing dignity in walking and talking, covering all body except face and hands from the wrist down, and avoiding any embellishment.

Religious knowledge is the knowledge acquired through the Scriptures and formed according to them. One of the main elements of this knowledge is the Scripture's view concerning women. In order to attain their adherents' opinion, we have studied, in this article, the Kur'an and the Bible, with a focus on the story of creation, especially the humanity's tall. Comparing their narration, its explicit and implicit meanings, we have tried to show their point of divergene and agreement and to picture the implications and results of any of these two narrations on their adherents' thoughts and to find the possible roots of the pessimism, disgrace and even hostility which the societies influenced by these narrations have shown towards women.

From a long time ago, the word "Hafez" has been currently used by the hadith scholars as a title; although it should be noted that this title was generally applied to Sunni hadith scholars. But "what are the qualifications needed for applying this title?" this is the question we are trying to find the answer for, in this article. We have studied Sunni hadith books in which this term is defined by hadith and RejaI scholars, we have also examined its usual usage in order to reach a better result.
