7	387	Exegesis of some verses of the Quran Some interpreters believe that the intended meaning of “caliph” in the word of Allah Almighty: “Indeed, I am the Appointer of a caliph on Earth,” is the human being in general, and some others believe that it specifically refers to Adam (peace be upon him). How can it be proven that the intended meaning of “caliph” is a ruler appointed by Allah? Why has the issue of the caliphate not been explicitly explained in the Quran despite its great importance?	2019-12-26
6	385	Prayer of the traveler Allah Almighty says: «وَإِذَا ضَرَبْتُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْكُمْ جُنَاحٌ أَنْ تَقْصُرُوا مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ إِنْ خِفْتُمْ أَنْ يَفْتِنَكُمُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا ۚ إِنَّ الْكَافِرِينَ كَانُوا لَكُمْ عَدُوًّا مُبِينًا» (An-Nisa/ 101); “And when you travel on Earth, there is no blame upon you for shortening your prayer if you fear that disbelievers may harm you. Indeed, disbelievers are open enemies to you.” I find in the verse a conditional clause, which if reversed would be: “There is blame upon you for shortening your prayer if you do not fear that disbelievers may harm you.” The question is, what is the reason that currently, Muslims act against this verse, which has a clear indication?! Is there another verse in the Quran that has remained hidden from me?	2019-12-24

4	115	Exegesis of some verses of the Quran What do the disjointed letters at the beginning of some of the Surahs of the Quran mean?

What is the opinion of Allamah Mansoor Hashemi Khorasani on these interpretations?	2016-04-16
