Researchers of theoretical philosophy of history, whose ideologies are not based on revelation, consider human authority as the mere agent behind historic phenomena and are in denial of Meta historic agents. Does holy Quran hold the same view about the path of previous incidents and transformations? Does human history proceed along a straight path from the beginning to the end? Are historical events rule-governed and repeatable? Is fate certain or is it within human authority, divine will and many other agents? The following writing is a piece of religion-based library research which is obtained by contemplating Quranic teachings and contrasting them with intellectual doctrines of historic philosophers. This article emphasizes the fact that mankind history is multidimensional. The outcome of this intra-religion investigation reveals that human history is looked upon as a glorified source of lesson and credit in holy Quran. And credit indicates the flow of law through history and the possibility for similar events to occur in identical situations. It also indicates that human will and authority, divine will and idiosyncratic traditions have all played a role in formation of human history and this history has an objective and seeks an end; otherwise lessons from the past would be pointless and futile.

Proper nouns are important elements in every text because they reflect culture. This importance is higher in religious texts, such as the Quran, because some historical aspects of the previous ages can be tracked down through such nouns. This article is a descriptive study of the translation strategies of the Quranic proper nouns by George Sale, John MedowsRodwell, Mohammed Marmaduke Pickthall, Arthur John Arberry, and Abdullah Yusuf Ali. The proper nouns were chosen based on the classification of the Encyclopedia of the Quran and they were coded based on Van Coillie's (2006) model. The data was analyzed both qualitatively and quantitatively through SPSS. The results revealed that the most frequent strategies for the translation of the Quranic proper nouns into English were respectively: replacement by a counterpart in the target language (exonym), translation (of names with a particular connotation), phonetic or morphological adaptation to the target language, non-translation plus additional explanation, replacement of a personal name by a common noun.

The imagination (idea) of brotherhood in the Quran had formed as a social efficient and effective institution in space of ignorance’s zealotry and nervousness in the time of revelation the Quran. This imagination was specific idea of brotherhood based on blood and relatively relations or ethnic and tribal alliances or social and cultural norms that regardless of value or anti-value, right or wrong was common in ignorance Arab’s live. With the appearance of Islam and revelation of the holy Quran, like many other imaginations, the meaningful change was created in the social thought. Methods of cultural anthropology seek to examine the emergence and penetration this idea in the mind of Arabs before the Quran. In the first stage the imagination of brotherhood checks in space of ignorant. In the second step the alternation of Quran is checking in this imagination and in third step extracts the ultimate understanding of Quran for all times and all cultures. It seems that alternations that created in this imagination by Quran, can be studied in seven layers that necessarily doesn’t have any chronological order, but is deduced from the text of the Quran. According to the concept of brotherhood and its root and offer a certain sense of it; analysis the of positive and negative historical samples; promoting of the concept of brotherhood to the level of connection with the chosen people and prophets; directing the brotherhood to a real and valuable communication, alternating the social imagination of brotherhood, breaking the domination of ignorantly brotherhood, and presenting a right suggestion for the brotherhood imagination based on faith and morality to gain the felicity and god’s satisfaction that the result of it is a relaxed atmosphere, full of support and companionship, and even self-sacrifice among them that the Muslim community turned to an attractive focus to attract the hearts. Using of this Qur'anic doctrine in today's busy world that is at a steep of moral decline, both creates actual links between the society and joins the hearts in the way of growth and perfection.
