The article deals with one of Imam Ali\'s gems represented by interpretation. The writer brings ideas of scholars who are in two teams. One of the them sees it is impossible to interpret the Holy Qur\'an anyhow because most of its verses are similar to each other and that interpretation should be limited to the Infallible to avoid aberration sedition. While the other team sees the difference (i.e) it is possible to do so if the interpreter is well-qualified and knowledgeable.
Later, the writer studies Imam Ali\'s (p.b.u.h.) role in clarifying that the Qur\'an is for all people other than certain category of scholars or jurists. Then he slackens the reins explaining that referring to role of the Infallible Imams in that matter.

Imam Ja\'afar bin Muhammed Al-Sadiq is the sixth Imam in the doctrine of the Shite Twelvers Muslims. To him their sect belongs.

The article defines Abi Obeideh (Mu\'ammer bin Al-Muthannah) and his method in interpretation verses from the Holy Qur\'an in his book titled (Majazul Qur\'an) (Metaphor of the Qur\'an). The researcher refers to that method in dealing with two Qur\'anic Suras (chapters) (i.e) Surat Al-Qiyamah and Surat Al-Naba. He, moreover, discusses it with those of Al-Faraa and Al-Teberi briefly.
He honestly concludes that there is no difference between the three scholars bringing down all reviling campaigns against Abu Obeideh by scholars who were contemporary with him. Meanwhile he tries to be just with Abu Obeideh against the fabricated noise against him. He never neglects the slips in Abu Obeideh\'s method.

After talking about that interpretation and the attribution, the writer tends to present ideas of scholars about it. She concludes that most hard-liners scholars in prophetic traditions reject it.

The writer divides her article into a prestige, while the second one deals with the methodological bases in interpreting the merits and features of the Qur\'anic text.

Most of books of interpretation mention narrations about virtues of each suras of the Holy Qur\'an attributed to the honorable companion of the Prophet Obey bin Kaab. The writer, here, presents an analytic study for those narrations and narrators through topics such as:
-ways of Obey bin Ka\'ab narration.
-he is the first to classify the virtues of the Holy Qur\'an.
-weak points in narrations.
-the story of discovering fabricated Hadith (prophetic traditions).
-ways of strengthening the traditions.
Finally the writer concludes the article with valuable notes which should be taken into consideration when studying such subject.

The article presents the efforts of the honorable Follower Qutada bin Di\\'ama As-Sedoosi in interpreting the Holy Qur\\'an as he made use of the honorable Prophet (may Allah grant him peace and blessings), the prophet\\'s companions and Followers. Al-Hasan Al-Basri was the pioneer to follow.
In the beginning of the article there is an introduction to Qutada\\'s biography, doctrine, knowledge, reference of his narrations and approach in interpretation including:
-interpreting the Qur\\'an by the Qur\\'an (i.e) referring to certain verses to interpret other verses.
-interpreting the Qur\\'an by the Prophetic Sunnah.
-interpreting the Qur\\'an by sayings of the companions and Followers.
Then the writer gives practical examples narrated from Qutada in the books of interpretation at the latter periods like At-teberi and At-tosi.

In this research, the researcher wants to shed light on one of the contemporary interpretive approaches (i.e) the structural interpretation of the Qur\'an which was adopted by late Dr. Muhammed Al-Bustani (may Allah rest his soul) at the end of the twentieth century.
The fact that the writer concludes, in brief, that the structural approach to the interpretation of the Qur\'an which was adopted by Dr. Al-Bustani is a new approach in title but an ancient one as a concept. It had been dealt with by ancient scholars in their writings under many titles like (At-tenasub) (proportionality), (Tenassiq) (consistency), (An-nedhm) (organization) and other idioms. Through reading and living deeply with Dr. Bustani\'s thought, the writer concludes that Dr. Bustani believes that the themes of the holy suras are interrelated and in harmony with each other; and that there is a basic common idea on which all suras focus. That is the general aim and the central posing which the sura wants to pass to addressees.

Some of them contain great meanings and divine directions to the Prophet Muhammed (May Allah grant him peace and blessings) exclusively. There are some matters directed to the prophet other than his nation like: recommendation to fear Allah, the issue of marriage and treating wives and the like.

Al- Jahiliyah is a term brought in Arabic language by the holy Quran for the first time. Idiomatically it refers to the pre-Islamic period. The article focuses on talking about it as an approach that is not confined to a specific time. Therefore, it is a social state which can appear anywhere and any time. It has its own features, aims and criteria. That fact is assured by the Holy Qur\'an, honorable Sunnah of the Prophet and researchers\' studies.
As for the Qur\'an, it looks at Jahiliyah as the opposite of religion, while the Sunnah considers it a principle against Islam in life. On the other hand, researchers\' studies identify it as a phenomenon not a certain period of time.
This article, the writer continues to say, shows the fact of Al-Jahiliyah and uncovers its identity as a approach in life to shed light on understanding its essence and philosophy.

The Noble Qur’an, God\'s revelation, the home and the primary source of the true religion, was revealed to the heart of the Chosen One (PBUH) to be a program that encompasses human happiness in both developments. Muslims have been devoted to him since his first verses were revealed by memorizing, reciting and studying, and this is how Muslims continued to live by reciting his night and day and spreading his teachings among the people. Then they began to write about the words, their meanings, and the knowledge contained in the Book of God Almighty, and in light of that various sciences arose and each science has researchers and specialists. One of those sciences that dealt with the verbal aspect of the Noble Qur’an is the science of reading, as this knowledge had its companions since the revelation of the Prophet (PBUH) and they were distinguished from other companions in this field.
