The study of similar or ambiguous verses which has always won the attention of commentators is one of the important topics in the interpretation of the Qur'an. The Verse 172 of chapter A'raf is one of the similar and difficult verses of the Qur'an. According to the first interpretations which have heavily relied on narrations, this verse addresses the world of Zar.  This interpretation, however was later suspected or denied by the Mu'tazilites and rationalist commentators. The present study while accepting the covenant world, examines the theories of mystics and philosophers, and the result of the research shows that the reasons presented by rationalist commentators on the denial of the world of Zar are not enough and are due to lack of knowledge of the self and its various levels. The transcendence of human soul, the collective or intellectual existence of human beings, the different levels of the soul that have different rules and conditions; can contribute in understanding the above-mentioned verse.

One of the important religious teachings of heavenly religions is the issue of revelation, which the Holy Quran pays special attention to. Among the related verses, verse 73 of Surah Anbiya deals with the revelation of "act of charity". Fariqain commentators have put forward different views about the interpretation of "Awhaina" in the mentioned verse. Most of them consider the revelation as tashari'i, and some of them consider it as tasdidi. Achieving a precise interpretation of the revelation in this verse lays the foundation for a better understanding of the position of Imams and their role in Divine guidance. Therefore, the research with descriptive analytical method tries to analyze Ayatollah Javadi Amoli's point of view while expressing Zamakhshari's point of view in the interpretation of revelation. The findings of the research indicate that those who believe in the legitimacy of the revelation in the verse in question prove the non-fulfillment of what revelated, considering the nature of such revelation. On the other hand, the author of Tasnim commentary, like Allameh Tabataba'i, who considers the revelation here to be a confirmation, has tried to explain the realization of the meaning by emphasizing the appearance of the words and the context of the verses. The evidence of the first group requires appreciation in the verse and is based on analogy and inconsistency with the appearance of the words and the context of the verses, while the confirmation of the revelation in the verse is based on the appearance of the words and the context of the verses, and the interpretation traditions also confirm it.
