The significance of this research stems from the necessity to clarify the means by which God Almighty preserved His last book revealed to the Seal of the Prophets (PBUH) from additions and deletions. Unlike His two books, the Torah and the Bible revealed to Moses and Jesus (PBUH), they were distorted. Thus the Holy Quran would remain a pure revelation with supreme authority over other heavenly books.
It is required to divide this research required into an introduction and a preface in which the concepts of criticism are explained. Followed by two chapters, the first is devoted to studying the means of preserving the Quran from distortion, and the second is to studying the distortion of the Torah and the Bible.
It is concluded that God Almighty pledged to preserve His final book. The Prophet (PBUH) and the companions are inspired to write it down for fear of differences in its oral circulation. Then God appointed the companions to unify its readings, and a group of scholars are appointed to preserve the meanings of the Qur’an to confront interpretations that distort the meanings. In contrast, God did not pledge to preserve His books, the Torah and the Gospel; hence, they remained unwritten for a long time. Consequently, oral circulation tampered with them according to the whims of the Jewish rabbis and Christian monks, until myths, superstitions and pagan beliefs crept into them. Therefore, they became repulsive in the modern era.

This research entitled ‘A Stylistic Study in Surat Al-Nazi›at’ focused on a stylistic study in Surat Al-Nazi›at that takes into account the data of general linguistics. It benefits from aesthetic and linguistic structural data in order to reach an interpretive approach to the surah. The research tried to touch on some of the creative miraculous stylistic features available in this surah. It is is not intended to make a statistic study or list all those features because there is no way to do so and they are many and renewed. It is neither intended to provide a final reading; rather it is an attempt to gain a new understanding of some of those miraculous aspects in Surat Al-Nazi›at. Therefore, the research came brief and limited to an introduction, four topics, and a conclusion.
Keywords: Study, stylistic, Surah, An-Nazi’at.

The content of this research is summarized in explaining the method of the challengers in presenting doubts about the Holy Quran. Ahmed Al-Qabanji is chosen as a model for this study because he has a religious background and has modern problems about the organization of the Quran and its miracles that have not been answered before. His method is to rely on the emotional interpretation of the Quran, believing that prophecy is merely a personal experience, and that miracles come from within man, not from God Almighty. Among his ideas is that he seeks to create a modern Islam, which he calls «civil Islam». He thinks that religious rituals have nothing to do with faith and that the origin is emotional thought in understanding texts. After investigating his problems, they found to be mere illusions, built on false perceptions from him that result from his interference in issues that he is ignorant of or ignores. He did not bother himself to search for the answer in specialized books of interpretations, books of Quranic miracles, books of rhetoric, grammar, linguistic studies, and modern criticism. We followed the academic descriptive approach in presenting its problems, and the analytical approach in explaining the weakness of its doubts in themselves. We also followed the linguistic and doctrinal argumentation approach in responding to its objections and proving the miraculous nature of the language and organization of the Qur’an.
Keywords: Qur’an, miraculousness, rhetoric, problems, doubts.

Literary and systematic miracles are of great importance to many specialists in the sciences of the holy Quran and its interpretation. In order to understand what is meant by literary and systematic miracles in the Quran, it is necessary to mention evidence and texts from Quranic verses to prove and explain what is stated in the text of the research that is entitled ‘Literary and Systematic Miracles in the Holy Quran’. The reader may sometimes see it in a way that is not as seen by those who delve into the study of Quranic sciences and miracles in particular. The Holy Qur’an is miraculous in its wording, meaning, eloquence, rhetoric, and style. It is also miraculous in the matters it which are unseen and the mysteries of the upper world and the lower world as well as its organization of the Qur’anic text. Miracles can also be seen in the scientific theories that the Holy Qur’an has reported and that may be discovered by specialized scholars from time to time. In addition to other aspects of its miracle that are revealed day after day and about which many books have been written up to this day. The scholars of the Qur’an have agreed on the proven truth of the miracle in the Book of Allah with evidence for that, each according to his understanding of the Qur’anic text. The literary and organizational miracle has been clearly revealed through the Qur’anic surahs and verses as one of the types of Qur’anic miracles.
Keywords: Literary miracle, organizational miracle, characteristics of the Qur’anic organization, evidence proving the miracle.

The great scholar Murtada Al-Askari was born in Samarra in 1911 AD and died in Ramadan 2007 AD in the city of Tehran at the age of ninety-five and was buried in the holy city of Qom next to the shrine of his grandmother, Lady Fatima bint Imam Musa bin Jaafar (PBUH). He was one of the first Muslim scholars who defended the Qur’an and the divine revelation until his writings in this field reached twenty-six books, most of which confronted the fabricated conjectures against the Qur’an. He had his great opinions in this field, which are going to be discussed in two topics: -
The first topic / A general view of the divine revelation.
The second topic / The scholar Al-Askari; and his role in defending the Qur’an and responding to doubts about it (the divine revelation as a model)

The multiplicity of contemporary readings of the Qur’anic text has made it the subject of research. In this regard, the criterion is the sanctity of the Qur’anic text since it is from the Almighty Allah. The interpretation that does not preserve its sanctity is rejected regardless of the party adopting it because it challenges the origin of its sanctity. From this standpoint, we had a pause in our research “Contemporary Readings of the Qur’anic Text, Nasr Hamid Abu Zayd as a Model” and the research consisted of an introduction in which I explained the status of the Qur’anic text and its sanctity, and the attempts to challenge it. The aims of this study is divided into two axes: I talked about the concept of modernity, contemporary reading, and a vision in establishing the concept of hermeneutics. I also discussed Nasr Hamid Abu Zayd›s approach and his origins in understanding it. The second axis came to focus on the nature of the Qur›anic text according to Abu Zayd, the reality of interpretation, and explaining the relationship between interpretation and explanation. I also discussed his opinion regarding the Qur›anic text as a cultural product, in addition to his vision in re-understanding the Qur›anic text from his perspective. The conclusion of the research includes the most prominent results as well as the recommendations that the research believes should be taken into account in research centres and scientific institutions.
Keywords: Contemporary readings - Qur›anic text - Nasr Hamid Abu Zayd.

Young people represent the largest percentage of society and they are the foundation upon which the Islamic nation is built. They must be properly prepared according to the prophetic approach. Islam has been interested in developing young people and forming their personalities through the Holy Qur’an. It has taken care of all aspects of life for Muslim youth, from birth to death. This is because Islam is an integrated way of life. The research aimed to clarify the approach of interpreting the Holy Qur’anic and prophetic care for young people. It directed this young generation towards sound and righteous upbringing to build a strong and cohesive society. The researchers adopted the analytical inductive approach in their writing, consisting of two sections: the first is to clarify the importance of Qur’anic and prophetic care and upbringing, and the second section is based on the verses of the Holy Qur’an that guide young people with the commands and prohibitions. Interpretation and clarification of these verses are given. The researchers arrived at a number of results, the most important of which is: the interest of the interpreters of the Holy Quran in clarifying the prophetic approach in caring for society in general and Muslim youth in particular. A number of proposals have also arrived at, the most important of which is: conducting an analytical study of the educational approach of the Great Messenger to address moral problems in society.
Keywords: Prophetic approach, educational approach, youth care.

There is no doubt that religious heritage has its importance in modern and contemporary Arabic literature. Heritage is considered a source of textual inspiration, through which the writer reflects the spirit of the age, and reconstructs the past, according to a contemporary human vision. This means that the past lives in the present, and is linked to it in a dialectical relationship that depends on influence and being influenced. The novelist, in his use of symbols, does not think with a religious mentality. Thus, the Sufi can sometimes express his vision in its early stages, but when he delves into his experience and advances on the path, he is unable to express his vision. However, but the writer›s vision is a means of expression, and no matter how deeply he delves into his experience and delves into the folds of the human self, his vision remains constantly unchanged. This study is based on the topic of symbolic significance and its importance in the novelistic world and its effect on shaping the narrative structure of the work. Due to the importance of this topic in the Arab critical arena, I decided, after consulting with professors and specialists, that the field of this study should be in symbolic significance about an important Iraqi novelist, Naeem Al Musafir. Hence, the title became ‘The Structure of Religious Symbolism in the Short Stories of Naeem Al Musafir’. There are several reasons behind choosing this study, the most important of which is the novelist’s production deservedness of being written about. Although much has been written about him, this study is considered a first in this field. It is found that manifestations of divine books such as the Holy Quran, the Torah and the Bible, as well as religious space, holy place, religious figures such as of Ali Khan, Jumhouri, and Nabil. The method we adopted in this article is descriptive and analytical according to the stories of Kotharia, Voices from There, and For an Unwritten Life.

Knowledge has been mentioned in the Holy Quran in two forms (allusion and explicitly). Explicitly is mentioned in the places of command and prohibition, while allusion has been mentioned in the form of proverbs, stories, and others. Each came according to the requirement of the situation. Since mankind is the recipient, it has become necessary for him to search for the requirements that supply him with the mechanisms of reading, making him capable of understanding the phenomena produced by the Quranic discourse. This discourse is his guide in practicing his actions and human activities. These actions are determined either being accepted or rejected on the basis of the cognitive pattern, resulting from man›s awareness of existence in its two types, self-existence and surrounding existence.
From here we find that Allah Almighty did not leave man without a guide. This was embodied on two levels, namely: creative and existential. On the moral level and through the Qur’anic discourse, we sense that Allah has given man the requirements of knowledge, by making it in his creation: (And by the soul and He who proportioned it, and inspired it with its wickedness and its piety) So Allah, the Almighty, gave and it is upon man to deal well with those gifts. Wickedness and piety are opposing dualities whose arena is the human soul. The emergence of one over the other is by the action of man himself.
As for the existential level, cognitive gradation has been a method since the beginning of creation. The abundance of prophets and the multiplicity of laws are evidence of divine kindness and evidence of the effective methodology in education and mental activity to reach perfection and the conclusion. Since Adam (peace be upon him), humanity has gone through cognitive stages, upon which laws and duties were determined. This was either through preaching and guidance, or through communication, until it was concluded with the Holy Qur’an as a book, Islam as a law and religion, and Muhammad (peace be upon him) as a messenger.

This research seeks to study the miracle of the language in the Holy Quran, which came in a clear Arabic tongue that was familiar to the most eloquent Arabs in speech. It has overwhelmed them with the power of its eloquence and unique style, dazzling the world with its fluency and rhetorical miracle. The rhetorical miracle is considered the origin of all other types of miracles. From this perspective, this research aims to reveal the greatness of the Holy Quran, its high status, and to clarify its miracle, through the verses of the challenge that occurred in its words organized in the shortest Surah. It included the two heavy burdens of mankind and jinn. The challenge and reprimand continued in the Meccan and Medinan eras with ten Surahs like it, then with a Surah. The challenge was gradual and phased according to the state they were in because the Holy Quran is alike in the miracle. The need for the challenge appears because it is evidence of the truthfulness of the Messenger who came with the miracle. In the challenge with the Qur’an there is confirmation and strengthening of his heart (may God bless him and grant him peace) because in every turn of this challenge there is a new miracle. Every time to come up with something is like a turn of revelation, so their inability to oppose became apparent. In this Quran is the establishment of the argument and the demonstration of the proof of the truthfulness of the Noble Qur’an.

The Qur’anic discourse of the Ahl al-Bayt (PBUT) has a special and unique status, such that it does not stop at the limits of legislation and religious frameworks. Its borders extended with them until it became a constitution for all aspects of life. They often used it as a means of correction and rectification, according to a method based on solid foundations, such that it touches on the needs of society and its intellectual and cognitive aspirations. All of that is done in clear language and standardized methods based on means from the environment that touches on social reality. One of the most important features of their evaluative method was that they combined two functions: correction and analysis. The gist of that was that when they observed the phenomenon of error, they treated it with the Qur’anic discourse. However, they did not stop at this point; rather they sought to analyse what they cited and document it in people’s minds. If they were investing those events as educational means that work to consolidate Qur’anic concepts among the recipients, so they show the error and its Qur’anic correction, then analyze that correction while explaining the extent of the connection between the observed incident and the Qur’anic discourse.

In this research, the miraculous aspect of colostrum is presented by reviewing a group of verses from the Holy Quran, and a group of hadiths in the Sunnah of the Infallibles (PBUT). The research presented the structural analysis of colostrum, its immune components, and the growth factors it contains, demonstrating its basic and pivotal role in providing immunity and preventing diseases for both infants and the elderly. The most important diseases that this substance treats and also protects against were presented. According to the methodology of induction, analysis, and description, we arrived at several results, the most important of which is the miraculous aspect colostrum contains, and it is harnessed by Allah Almighty to fight viruses entering the human body.

The Holy Qur’an is the word of Allah Almighty and an eternal miracle of the prophethood of the Messenger of God. One of the aspects of the miracle of the Qur’an that has drawn the attention of scholars since the beginning of Islam until now is the absence of contradiction in it. At present, some Orientalists have challenged this miraculous aspect of the Qur’an and claimed the existence of differences or contradictions in some of its verses. To meet such a challenge, it is necessary to first identify the places where they spot contradiction in the Qur’an, and then respond to them scientifically and methodically. The researcher relied on the inductive approach in collecting the claims of Orientalists about contradictions in the Qur’an and the critical approach in studying and evaluating their views, then responding to them. Regardless of the motives of the Orientalists in claiming the availability of contradictions in the verses of the Qur’an, we say that such a claim stems from, first, their lack of knowledge of the meanings of differences and contradictions, and, second, their lack of knowledge of the rules of interpretation. That is why they have fallen into positions of disagreement in what are perceived as contradictions. In this article, after providing a precise definition of contradiction and clarifying the rules of interpretation in the Quran, we have proven that the claim of these individuals has no scientific basis or logical evidence, but is based only on false assumptions.

The nature of the study demands an introduction, then a preface about the Virgin Mary (PBUH), and two requirements. The first requirement was entitled: ‘The story of the pregnancy of Mary, daughter of Imran (PBUH) in the Holy Qur’an’, while the second requirement was entitled ‘The story of the pregnancy of Mary, daughter of Imran (PBUH) in the Bible’. The research ends by mentioning the most important results arrived at throughout the study, and mentioning a list of sources and references, while referring to many hadiths and narrations about the truth of (the Holy Spirit). Further, it mentions texts from the Old and New Testaments in which (the Holy Spirit) is mentioned.
The research drew its material from the Holy Quran and the books of the Old and New Testaments such as (the Book of Genesis), (the Gospel of Matthew), and (the Gospel of Luke), in addition to the books of interpretation and narration. The study concludes that the most important that the Virgin Mary (PBUH) was given the good news of the birth of Jesus, son of Mary, by the Angel Gabriel, but she became pregnant by the Holy Spirit in another time and place. The narration of the event in the Holy Quran is identical to the Gospel. The narration of the event in the Holy Quran is identical to the Bible, and since the Holy Spirit is in Fatima al-Zahra (PBUH) or she herself is the one who appeared to the Virgin Mary and caused the pregnancy. That is, she created a new life, and giving life is one of the actions of the Holy Spirit in the Old and New Testaments. Moreover, the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Allah whether in the Holy Quran or in the Torah or in the Bible therefore, the Holy Spirit is mentioned with different words. For example: the Spirit of God, the Spirit, Spiritual, and our Spirit. Since Christians believe in the Trinity (the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit), they worship Fatima al-Zahra (PBUH) and they are ignorant of the truth of the (Holy Spirit).

The Holy Qur’an is considered the most important book for Muslims, being the divine book that was revealed to Prophet Muhammad (may Allah bless him and his family). Muslims have paid great attention to the sciences related to it. Among those sciences is the science of interpretation, which they worked to arrange its controls and clarify its methods. It included a number of methods that interpreters used in their books. One of these approaches is interpreting the Qur’an by the Qur’an that received the attention of most scholars until interpretive books specialized in this approach were classified. Hence, the importance of the research becomes clear; it studies this approach in terms of clarifying its types, focusing on a number of contemporary Shiite interpretations such as the interpretation of Al-Mizan by Al-Tabataba’i, the interpretation of Ala’ Al-Rahman by Al-Balaghi, and the interpretation of the Qur’an by the Qur’an by Al-Sadiqi. It also studies a number of contemporary Sunni interpretations represented by Adwaa Al-Bayan by Al-Shanqeeti and Al-Tafsir Al-Qurani Al-Quran by Al-Khatib.
This research includes an applied study of these contemporary interpretations through the verse of purification. We relied on the descriptive, inductive and analytical approach, and as for the results of the research, the most important of them was the great impact of this approach in clarifying the correct meaning of the verse of purification. The Shiites went to what was meant by it ‘the people of the house’ (PBUT), while the Sunni went to what was meant by the verse the wives of the Prophet. Among the important results that the study arrived at is that Shiite interpretations such as Al-Mizan and Alaa Al-Rahman are considered outstanding interpretations and among the richest for what they contain of intellectual and scientific depth, and strong accuracy in style. Al-Tabatabai, for example, adopted the approach of interpreting the Qur’an by the Qur’an, where he explains the meaning of the verse with other verses.

The interpreters were distinguished by their mastery of the Arabic language because they were certain that the secrets of the Holy Quran can only be understood by mastering the language in which it was written. Therefore, it is found that they have addressed the origins of Arabic during their research. They have also argued with it to direct the words and structures of the Holy Quran. Their induction has been noted in certain terms, including the term (not in the speech of the Arabs) from which we will start to know the methods of its use in their records.

Since the Holy Quran is the eternal miracle and the divine constitution of the final Sharia, the Sharia of the Greatest Prophet (PBUH), the search for the aspects of the miracle contained in the Noble Book is a pivotal matter. It involves proving the origin of the truthfulness of the pure Muhammadan Sharia. The aspects indicating its miracle are diverse, including its eloquence and rhetoric, unity of its organization and content, and evidence indicating its precedence over humanity in mentioning cosmic and scientific facts, or what is known as the scientific miracle in the Holy Quran. Thus, it is a miraculous book for all humanity, regardless of time, place, cultures and civilizations.
This is an attempt to stand on proving this meaning, either by presenting the arguments indicating that the Glorious Book contains everything, even in the form of codes and symbols. Thus, the decipherer of these codes and the discoverer of them is one of The Holy Qur’an addressed them specifically, and not others. It can also be through presenting some evidence indicating the scientific precedence of the Qur’an, which some prominent commentators have pointed out, while taking care not to burden the verses with more than their apparent meaning. Accordingly, this study attempts to highlight some of the greatness of the Great Qur’an.
