Nafi-e-sabil is a popular discussion among Shiite and Sonnite clergies. It is designed to prevent pagans from dominating Muslim world and is constituted on many Quranic codes and sacred quotes of Prophet and his dynasty, in addition to wisdom and rationality. Clergies in both religions (Shiite and Sonnite) have attempted to explain the rule and its prevalence in religious sentences and made many references to it in their distinguished texts. However, this rule was hardly applied to the other aspects of clerical issues and other fields, as the political law and sociological studies. The present study attempts to offer a new explanation of the Quranic, wise, and rational basis of the rule, and thus emphasize on its role in the fulfillment of National Unity and Islamic Solidarity. It could guide the greater Islamic Ummah to an explanation of Iran's Great Leader's subtle quotes. Therefore, here I would define and analyze implications of this rule, in addition to offering a literature review, and thus reflect on the temporal and space conditions of the rule's application. Furthermore, I have studied its interaction and mutual connection on which sage readers would judge.

Abraham is on of the great prophets, selected to convey message of monotheism to others. According to Old Testament, Abram, then named as Abraham, is the descendent of Noah, whom God commended to leave his hometown and travel to Egypt. According to his divine testament, God blessed him and his family and willed his descendant to spread all over the world. On the route, he was tested and trialed in different ways, in which he was completely elate. However, there are some quotes in Old Testament which are not compatible with Abraham's characteristics. The image of Abraham in Quran is the one of a perfect man, who achieved the highest divine degree. Abraham is an innocent prophet, a distinguished Imam who revolted against cruelty and reconstructed Ka'ba as a safe site for monotheists. On the way, Abraham was elated in many different trials as son-sacrifice, and burning in fire. These made him an ideal sample of knowledge, monotheism, and submission for all monotheists. Hanif, Khalil, Muslim, Avvah, Abd, Halim, and distinguished are Abraham's adjectives cited in Holy Quran.

The Holy Qur’an invites men to learn knowledge and ask like a wise person if they do not know any thing. Questions are applied to ascertain the unknown by using the tools such as word, letters and signs. Each question has light and understanding, those who knows, may ask better. There is a close relation between question and knowledge.These wuestions can be divided to three categories in view of motive of the questioner: -Logical questions, which Holy Quran ordains to ask; - Unneessary and illogical questions which have been forvidden in a number of verses; -Non- innocent questions which the Holy Quran and the tradiions condemned. Asking questions and their multiplicity are approveable in instances having the following conditions: -Be not harmful; - Be not asked for molestation and teasing purposes; -Be benefitable. Sometimes asking questions or unwilling the facts may cause pessimism and disturbance of tranquality of the individual and of the society.

The speech school have been different methods in front of verses which have pointed to creature's adjectives. The Emamieh commentators are rejected any simile and incarnation to God and They use of 3 methods in comment verses: verses paraphrase, referring the simile to verses, to bond to apparent without paraphrases. This thesis not only survey about this methods, but also comment their situation in Emamieh commentary.

Quran, prophet's eternal miracle, is the first and most prominent resource for Islamic basic doctrine and sentences. Prophet has himself taught Muslims to pay attention to Quran and read, memorize and operate its sentences, doctrines, and commandments. Thus, Muslim scientists, sages, and interpreters, as well as believers in other monotheist religions, have studied Quran from different angels, just from the beginning of Islam. Believers in other religions have studied Quran on different intentions, some according to the realistic scientific knowledge, some according to their own religious and political objectives. In this study, I would review texts on Quran's history, according to the Book: A Study in the History of Quran, written by Seyed Mohammad Baqir Hojati.

Reflection is a unique principle in man's interaction with divine inspiration and Quran. Reflection has different definitions and productions which could be applied in human's both theoretical and practical life. Reflection is inseparable from process of Quran's education and reading; however, its fulfillment depends on conditions. In addition, reflection is different from the so-called Interpretation; the difference on which present study would focus.

Torah, the descended book for Jewish people and the heritage of muses, has been face with abundant events during centuries. This name is now on the first five books of Old Testament so – called Pentateuch.

Key words: Torah, Bokhtolnasr, Helqia, Azra, Talmud, Pentateuch.

Quran is the human's guideline to deliverance, in which God has guided man to salvation through his Names and adjectives. However, according to diverse intentions, there are different ways of divine Name citation in Quran. Obviously, selection and layout of the divine Names cited in Quran is not aimless. I have named a cluster of the divine Names, in which two or three names are combined (as Sami'- al-Basir), "Continuous Names"; and have argued how they are cited and where they are first appeared in Quran. In present study, I have achieved a table of continuous divine Names, which could be considered as a sign of Quran's miracle, and thus have studied some of its consequences. In this study, I believe, a door was opened to the Quranologists to go further in their studies.
