MS. 1075 Tafsir of the Cairene Dar-al-Kutub has been studied from different aspects such as: features of Isnad and Matn, its relation to different ways of transmission in the later tafsirs for example Jami' al-bayan, oral or written transmission, and the possibility of reconstruction the original tafsir of Mujahid. Stauth, Leemhuis, Wansbrough and Versteegh have dealt with all or some of these issues in different works in detail or briefly. In this article these orientalist’s views have been explained and evaluated. The results of the research show that the point of departure for all Western studies in this regard is Sezgin's theory that the authors of narrative works used written sources and also Sezgin’s method to single out the sources of a collector and to reconstruct the early lost works using quotations in later narrative works and his references to this manuscript and transmissions from Mujahid found in al-Tabari's Tafsir. This manuscript is most relateded with I'sa ibn Maymun transmission and indeed this manuscript is not one of the sources of the Jami' al-bayan and is not an extraction from Jami' al-bayan. Reconstruction of the Mujahid exegetical teachings is possible with regarding Sezgin’s theory and Schoeler’s theory.

"A-DJ-R" , one of the most ancient triconsonantal roots in the Semitic languages, is used 108 times in 99 Qur'anic verses. Paying attention to the variety of Qur'anic usages of the root "A -DJ -R", Muslim scholars have enumerated up to 6 different meanings for it. Based upon methodology of historical semantics, this study discovers the oldest meaning of the root "A -DJ -R" in the Semitic languages. The different semantic changes of this root, then, are investigated from the proto-Semitic language to the Qur'anic Arabic. This essay indicates that the word "Adjr" conveys three meanings in the Holy Qur'an: firstly, "wage" which is the oldest meaning of the root, and secondly, "reward", and finally, "bride-wealth". These three meanings are used respectively in 24, 70, and 5 Qur'anic verses. Moreover, this study answers an important question that why the Holy Qur'an used the word "Adjr" in reference to the concept of "bride-wealth".

One of the manifestations of the miracle of the Holy Quran is illustration, which is the basic rule of the style of the Holy Quran and a prominent tool in expressing feelings, mental affairs, abstract meanings and sublime religious concepts. The depth of souls penetrates.

What is the function of images and their frequency? The findings indicate that the image of the sensory and abstract meaning of the concept of resurrection in this surah is manifested in the form of various elements, while influencing, inducing the intended purpose to the audience and its functions, while explaining the concepts, are related to the context of verses and phrases. Psychology and artistic function have the highest frequency.

The apparatus and flow of suspicion transmission is organized from various components such as suspicion centers, grounds for creating suspicion, the raw materials of reasoning, the process of reasoning, and the procedures for transmitting suspicion. In the meantime, recognizing the causes and foundations of suspicion will play an important role in the process of responding to suspicions. In the form of a book that explains the underpinnings and backgrounds of the Qur'an, in addition to answering the cases of doubt, it has also paid attention to the causes and foundations of the formation of doubt. The present study, understanding the Qur'anic discourse on this subject, using exploratory-analytical method, has divided the aforementioned subject into two categories of epistemological causes and methodological foundations. According to the achievement of this article, cases such as insufficient cognition, superstition, following false traditions, applying false presuppositions and determinism are among the epistemological causes of creating doubts. Also methods such as incorrect analogy, incorrect induction, pursuit of similarities, methodological exclusivism, selective approach and following the misguided can be evaluated in the methodological sphere.

The Quranic inscriptions in Islamic buildings were selected according to the needs of the period and the application in the building so social developments played an important role in selection verses for inscriptions in the Islamic period. The 15th century is very important in terms of social changes in Iran. One of the most important of these developments was Qaraqoyunlu Turkmens coming to power, which led to the strengthening of the Shiite tendencies in Iranian society and finally paved the way for the Safavids to formalize Shiism in Iran. The reflection of everyday social and religious ideas in societies can be traced in the inscriptions, such as the Quranic inscriptions of the Blue Mosque in Tabriz. Accordingly, this article tries to answer the question on what basis the verses written in the inscriptions of the Blue Mosque were selected and used? And what ideas and developments can be represented in their period? Field methods for imaging and investigating the inscriptions and descriptive-analytical methods in the analysis of inscriptions and historical-interpretive methods in analyzing verses have been used to answer the question. The results show that an attempt has been made to use the verses to present religious and spiritual opinions, confirm the ruling power and mystical concepts if the dominance of mystical tendencies can be clearly seen in these inscriptions.

The present study, based on the propositions of the verses of Surah Muzzammil, analyzes the mechanism and requirements of social responsibilities. To achieve this goal, Surah Muzzammil has been researched using qualitative content analysis method based on Barden model. In this way, while pondering the verses and referring to the interpretations, the researchers formed the main themes and hypotheses of their discussion and then, by carefully in the verses and coding the phrases, sought to discover the hidden meanings and relationships between them. The research findings were revealed in three main components: the mechanism of fulfilling responsibilities, the reasons for the need to communicate with the superior being and appropriate action against opponents. The analysis of the findings shows that Surah Mubarak al-Muzzammil responds to the main concern of responsible people in finding a reliable mechanism for fulfilling their social responsibilities, and in this regard, puts maximum and minimum mechanisms in front of them and emphasizes the realism of natural obstacles. Advise on appropriate action to remove obstacles and objections, in all these stages, the need to communicate with the superior being by stating the reasons.
