Since the holy Quran without any doubt has always been numerated of the Islamic legal sources, this article pays attention to the importance and necessity of a legal interpretation of the Quran alongside its method. There you can find examples of legal interpretation from the infallibles’ side. In viewing of the fact that a major part of Islamic jurisprudence is legal affairs, we have labeled the legal interpretation to those of interpretations dealing with verses covering the practical exercises of the people. Then the writer after analysis of literal meaning of legal interpretation and the supposable guesses of that has ultimately pointed out two examples from those deficiencies of legal interpretation.

Today the methodology of Islamic economy is of those significant spheres in the Islamic economic-studies drawing attention of the intellectuals much more than the past. This topic though enjoys some foregoing backgrounds but is still counted of those new and latest debates. To deal with the methodology while paying less attention to the basic principles and foundations of Islamic economic-studies, it would be a void and infertile effort that suffers profundity and sufficient attention. It is inevitable that we have to pay heed to the principles namely “the necessity of harmony between methods and goals, principles and standards of Islamic economy, the necessity of suitability of legitimate goal with the legitimate method, the characteristic of multi-manner in Islamic economy”. Considering the above-mentioned principles, the foundations such as “the existence of stable and fluctuating affairs in Islamic economy, the existence of two kinds of orders Mowlavi and Irshadi, the effectiveness of time and place in economy, the impressive influence of religious realm on economy, the weight intellect have in deduction of economical laws and finally the being of universal or local elements” should also necessarily be taken into account.Having all these foundations and principles into consideration, the key methods of Islamic economic-studies with emphasis on Quranic economy can be counted as following: induction, the outwardly interpretation based on subjects, utilizing the Islamic reported economic quotations, signature, exposure, systematic and establishment. It should be noted that each of these terms enjoy exclusive meaning in Islamic jurisprudence.

The present writing addresses some of the doubts and questions raised in regard to contradictions between Quran and medical sciences. Though the medical sciences have a great deal of improvements but again we do witness the intellectual’s confession in harmony of Quran and sciences. This article would analyze and criticize the doubts raised concerning “the creation of human”, “the creation of flesh after bone on embryonic period”, “the origin of sperm”, “the awareness from the gender of fetus and the stable period of pregnancy”. It will finally be made clear that not only the verses pertaining to medical affairs contradict one another but also are in complete harmony with the medical sciences.

In this article the attention is firstly paid to the importance, natural and rational reasoning of freedom for its foundational role with respect to morality. Secondly, the reasons being supported by the Quran in favor of freedom and the examples of freedom of thought and choice in the Quran would be stated. Later the words of the Family members of the prophet (peace be upon them) in regard to the background of freedom and the element of freedom in Ashura Movement alongside the principals providing freedom in Islam will be illustrated. Finally, the alleged challenges of Quran and freedom such as the outwardly contradictions between the verse (لَا إِكْرَاهَ فىِ الدِّينِ =There is no compulsion in religion) and the matter of apostasy and the prohibition on publication of misleading books would be taken into account and criticized.

The writer maintains this assumption that the Holy Quran is the most comprehensive book of guidance for human’s meditation and action. It leads the individuals and the society towards an everlasting felicitous materialistic and spiritual life. He with holding a professional look at exclusive sphere of organization and management tries to provide a practical background of utilizing this divine book. For the sake of attaining this purpose, he makes his attempts to describe the identity and realm of management-studies, propounding the main questions; so that a new scientific phase of dialogue should be commenced between these two subjects. In this direction, the perpetuity and timelessness of the holy Quran’s instructions, the particular characters of the holy Quran such as being conductive, being social, being dynamic and being an authoritative and granting deliverance in the most critical situations are suggested to be as assumptions for management-studies of Quran.

Since compilation of human sciences has direct relation with the worldview of individuals and the schools of thought, everyone and the each of the schools of thought expanding a part of “management”, put their opinions and notions in that process. Hence if our worldview toward the existence, human beings and management is designed and labeled in accordance to the holy Quran, the management would be transformed and evolved. The Holy Quran’s standpoint in respect to the existence is that the creation and legislative orders are in a complete harmony. So if one moves against the regulations making no difference it should be of Takwin or legislative world, the existential order does not accompany him and he would encounter difficulties. Now if an organization with a particular management starts moving against the existential regulations, the result is something clear-cut and obvious. Human beings from the holy Quran’s perspective is of the best creatures and most dignified ones holding two material and spiritual aspects. Each of these two dimensions requires some certain needs that satisfying one of them do not make us needless of answering to other. The manager should also be aware of the existential rules and sophisticated existence of human being and his needs so that he has to have a successful management. For if he does not know the prevailing regulations of the existence and human characteristics and should be fully unaware of how to bring balance, then he has just brought catastrophe as we see in those countries that put aside the prophetic instructions. This management is a trust that should be bestowed upon whom he deserves; on that account the managers either directly is introduced by Allah, the wise, or the yardsticks of electing them is stated by Him.

A scientific symposium with the presence of Dr. M. Ali Rezaei Asfahani, Seyyed Samsamuddin Qawami and Amir Ali Lutfi discussing the issues of foundations and methodologies for Managing exegesis of Quran was held at Imam Khomeini High Education Assembly for advanced studies affiliated to Almustafa international university on 20.03.1388. In the very symposium Dr. M. Ali Rezaei proposed three basic approaches in respect to Managing exegesis such as: Explaining approximately three hundred verses of Quran dealing with the subject of management, for better understanding. The interpretation of verses with a managing approach that can contain the managing instructions of the entire verses. And finally studying the Holy Quran for the sake of discovering a managing system. He later stated the general and particular foundations of managing exegesis. From those of particular foundations is the existence of managing verses in the Quran laden with meaning. Then the methodology of managing exegesis was propounded and he while putting forth the two inaccurate methods of “drawing out the through detailed affairs of management from the Quran” and “imposition of scientific theories on Quran” explained the two accurate methods “employing the sciences for better understanding the managing verses of the Quran” and “creating theories of management based on the verses of Quran” too. Moreover, it was added that for managing exegesis, it is possible to make use of two methods of educational exegesis and also three methods based on subjects.Then Mr. Qawami expressed his points of view about divine management and its relation with the Quranic guidance. Afterwards, Mr. Lutfi as a prelude of discussion talked about understandability of Quran, the stages and realm of its understanding and the developing course of Quranic exegeses. Following the above mentioned points he continued talking about the issues as beneath:The essence of management, organization, and the realm of subjects related to management of organization, the hierarchy of purposes in managing exegesis of Quran, the methodology of managing exegesis of Quran and the general characteristics of intellectual (Ijtihadi) method.
