Denise Masson, a Catholic Christian and contemporary French Quranic scholar, has worked to explore the secrets, intellectual connections, and divergences between the Quran, Jewish, and Christian traditions. Among her works, she wrote “The Quran and Its Comparison with Jewish and Christian Sacred Texts.” While acknowledging the many theological similarities between Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, Masson occasionally criticizes Muslims of misinterpreting the teachings of the Quran and the Bible, particularly in terms of Trinity. Masson’s reasons for presenting the Trinity as divinely revealed are based on Old and New Testament scriptures, as well as Church Fathers’ sayings. The author of this paper has used a descriptive-analytical approach to analyze Masson’s claims. This essay’s primary goal is to evaluate and scrutinize her claims by looking at the Quran and logical evidence. The profound and profound teachings of the Holy Quran are the main source of the reasonable arguments that are discussed. The results of this study show that Masson’s arguments about the nature, essence, and irrationality of the Trinity are faulty and susceptible to serious criticism and challenge. This essay seeks to show that reason is wholly opposed to the theory of the Trinity and does not accept it in any way, as supported by the Quran and several reasonable reasons. The method of collecting information and data in this research has been library-based.

Some scholars believe that there is no synonym in the Qur'an. Accordingly, each word has a particular meaning in the sentence. It is therefore necessary to have a more accurate understanding of the Divine Word by researching the meaning of the words correctly. One word that has many meanings in the Holy Quran is the word “Ahd” (Testament), with its derivatives used 46 times in the Holy Quran and in the Bible about 300 times. In this study, the meaning of the word “Ahd” (testament) and its semantic circle in the Holy Qur'an are compared with its meaning in the Old Testament. The findings of this study indicate that the concept of “Ahd” (Testament) is not the same in the Quran and the old testaments, but there is a significant difference in this regard.

Knowing the meaning of the Koranic words and explaining their semantic field have always been taken into consideration by the interpreters of Quran. The word “Zalaal” and its derivatives are one of those words which frequently used in the Holy Quran. The word is used in Koranic context as “ãÈیä” (explanatory), “ÈÚیϔ (unseemly), “˜Èیє (great), and “ÞÏی㔠(old). The current study has discussed the explanation of this word as well as its usage, emphasizing different morphological structures and syntactic composition of the signs through a descriptive-analytic method. The results show that “ãÈیä” is of the most frequent use whereas “˜Èیє and “ÞÏی㔠are of the least one. The word “ãÈیä” is used for both religious obliquity and irreligious obliquity. The word “ÈÚیϔ is used for real obliquity and the words “˜Èیє and “ÞÏی㔠are used for unreal obliquity. Different uses of the word “Zalaal” along with the abovementioned adjectives are of such considerable distinctions with regard to morpho-syntactic meaning and structure that they have been morphologically used as both definite and indefinite forms whereas they have been syntactically used as majrur, absolute object as well as rheme.

Family is as a natural kernel and a main base for human society. Quran and other sacred books of different religions pay special attention to family structure and there you can find hints to the ways of making this institution firm and secure. One of the phrases used by Holy Quran in this regard is "Great Covenant" (Misaq Ghaliz) which is a sacred and transcendent word with an especial meaning. This paper explains the concept in question and in making the notion clear it studies the ways of the application of this concept and other similar words and synonyms in Quran. It takes also a glance at the concept of Great Covenant in the bible. Therefore it claims that as such a covenant is formed between God, Women and men, the role of women in history of religions, family institution and human life should be considered.
