The translation of the Qur'an is highly sensitive due to its rhetorical and syntactic subtleties and is usually considered as one of the most difficult types of translation. Among these rhetorical subtleties is the emphatic nun, which always comes in the form of a syntactic structure to emphasize the content of the verb or sentence, and in each structure and style, it implies a specific meaning. It is very clear that the translator, knowing such a linguistic phenomenon, has overcome some of the challenges of translating the Qur'an and will not stumble in conveying its exact meaning. Therefore, in this research, in order to understand the semantic function of non-emphasis in the Holy Qur'an and with a descriptive-analytical method and a confrontational approach, the translation process of "non-emphasis" in four Persian translations by Mr. Elahi Qomshaei, Foladvand , Ansarian and Makarem Shirazi from Surah Araf has been criticized. The result of the research showed that there are complications in the category of finding the equivalent of the noun for emphasis in terms of plurality in one verse and some syntactic subtleties, which caused the translation to fail due to lack of accuracy. The most appropriate semantic equivalent of emphatic nun in positive sentences is the emphatic adverb "certainly" and in negative sentences the adverb "never" and among the translators, Ansarian has acted more successfully than the other three translators.

The present article deals with the complex cluster of the concept of " Mother" in the Quran with a cognitive approach, what is said about the mother in the structure of kinship represents a common concept of "Mother", but depending on different cultures, we can face different types of this concept.The methodological strategy of the current article is to use the Foundation prototype categorization and achieve an Idealized Cognitive Model regarding the concept of “Mother“in the Qur'an. The result of the study in the Qur'anic corpus,consisting of 88 verses that have themes related to the field of "motherhood"; Nine cognitive models were obtained, and by placing the mentioned models next to each other,the composite cluster of the concept of "Mother" in the Qur'an was obtained: It should be noted that the obtained models,including the model of Biological Mother, Grand Mother,Foster Mother,Step Mother,Adoptive Mother and Unmarried Mother,are common with the model presented by Layoff, the models of Surrogate Mother and Donor Mother are among the models that are not mentioned in the Qur'an,and instead,in the composite cluster of the concept of mother in the Qur'an,the model of Spiritual Mother and Virgin Mother can be found.

Thought and knowledge is a consequence of the way of life and is related to the interests of the bad and the good of people and other cultural, social and political components in the context of history. The change and evolution of human knowledge and other cultural and social components made people's understanding of the revelation text heterogeneous. Due to the disparate currents of thought in the early century, which arose from different elements and ways of approaching the institution of power, she created special foundations and angles, which created different types of understanding of the text. Therefore, the present research seeks to answer the question of why the types of understanding of the text of the Holy Quran in the first century of Hijri. This descriptive and historical research, based on library documents, has tried to answer this question in an intertextual way with multiple discourses and components related to it, such as history, roots, relationships, communication, interactions, effectiveness and Dependences on tribal and racial elements, which determine the type of interpretation of the commentators, were searched as effective factors in the understanding of the text in this century.

Historical and hadith religious texts, especially the Holy Quran, are one of the components of the identity of the "historical memory" of Islamic culture and civilization. The common approach to these texts is influenced by the jurisprudence system and only paying attention to the authority of the report; However, a religious text can go beyond the format of "single Tradition" and be considered one of the components of historical memory. On the other hand, in historiography and analysis of Islamic culture and civilization, two types of views can be considered. First look, analytical approach; In such a way that we try to analyze the civilization based on individual religious reports, including the Quran and traditions. The second approach is based on historical memory. What is important is that historical memory cannot be described only in the form of historical reports called " Single Tradition ". A large part of the Islamic cultural heritage can be documented in formats beyond the discourse based on single Traditions. Being satisfied with the written heritage as the only part of the civilizational heritage should be promoted to the civilizational memory.

The condition and consequence in the verse on polygamy is one of the most debated topics in this verse. This article delves into the various interpretations of this relationship.Researches indicate that the first Shi'a scholar to deny the connection between the condition and consequence was Al-Tabrisi(588 CE). He cited a narration attributed to Imam Ali, suggesting that more than one-third of the Quran had been omitted between the two parts.While some Shi'a scholars later endorsed Al-Tabrisi's view, the majority from the 14th century onwards refuted this claim and the associated narration. Most Sunni scholars and the majority of Shia interpreters. agree that there is a connection between two parts. They agree that the conditional phrase is: “if you afraid” but there is no consensus about the consequence. Most interpreters consider the phrase: “marry [any] women you wish” as the consequence.The determination of the relationship between condition and consequence in this verse, is based on narrations attributed to companions such as Aisha and Ibn Abbas and isn’t reliant on the efforts of interpreters. Just Al_Jubba'i(303 CE) a Mu'tazilite theologian, stands on his ijtihad and differed, identifying “only one” as the consequence against the majority of interpreters’ opinion.

Given that one of the most important aspects of the miracle of the Qur'an is the literary and rhetorical miracles and the use of each word in the verses, arising from the wisdom of God and to fulfill a specific mission, it is necessary to explore the semantic characteristics of the vocabulary in the Quran, including the imminent and widely used vocabulary "Ja'a" and "Ata.This article is intended to use the library method, while criticizing and examining the prominent views on the semantic distinction of the words "Ja'a" and "ATa" in the verses, to explain the angles of the subtleties hidden beyond the use of the Qur'an of these words. The other objective of this study is to process how these semantic subtleties are reflected in the most important Persian translations.From this study, the views of Rajab Esfahani and Muhammad shuhrawar were the most successful in explaining the semantic distinctions of the verbs "Ja'a" and "ATa" in the Qur'an. Still, unfortunately, Persian translators of the Qur'anic language, regardless of the Semantic analysis of the Qur'an, did not reflect these semantic subtleties in their translation and somehow uncontrollably, paid attention to the equivalent of this vocabulary.
