Abstract

The book contains the Shi`ah doctrinal and practical bases which the Wahhabism are trying to oppose.

As regards the Mushaf, the author presents an account of its history and it’s being different from the Quran, and refutes some relevant accusations made against Shiites by Wahhabism. Ch. 2 contains such theological doubts as seeking intercession and benediction of divine saints and building tombs on their graves, and visiting their tombs, and provides answers to these doubts. Ch. 3 answers to doubts concerning the Prophet. Ch. 4 deals with the Imams and the Prophet's Family and hadiths and Quranic verses about them. Ch. 5 is devoted to the Prophet's Companions and the Caliphs, and Ch. 6 discusses some Shiite controversial beliefs.

Persian Title: Qur?n wa Qiy?mat y? Tafs?r-i S?ri-yi Qiy?mat 



Abstract

The author, through his commentary on the S?rah of al-Q?y?mah, tries to reinforce the principle of resurrection and the certainty of the Day of Judgment in the hearts of the readers. He alludes to the problem of corruption in today's world and assets that belief in the Day of Judgment is essential to the school of Quranic education.
The book opens with the text and persian translation of the S?ra of al-Q?y?mah, which has 40 verses and is among the Makk? S?ras (Quranic chapters that were revealed to Prophet Muhammad in Mecca).

The book contains 14 chapters. After elaborating on aspects of the verse of bism All?h al-raEm?n al-raE?m, the author discusses man's inability to comprehend the true nature of the Resurrection. He discusses the proofs of the existence of the Resurrection under four, and the results of belief in the Day of Judgment under three topics, in the following order: principle of Fiïrah (nature), principle of justice, principle of evolution, wide-ranging worldview, purification of the soul, extreme diligence in action. He then proceeds to elaborate on the soul and its types. The author believes that the principle of resurrection's necessity is a rational and its mode as naql? (traditional) matter and cites Avicenna's remarks on the case.

The book also contains general discussions on the following subjects: embodiment of deeds on the Judgment Day, eternity of suffering, relationship between the deeds in the present and the punishment in the next world, identification of this world and the hereafter, proof of the independence of soul from the body and its survival after death. The author believes that the Quran was collected during Prophet Muhammad's lifetime and contains no distortions. He deems the Infallible Imams' sayings as indispensable to comprehending Quran's true meaning.
