Abstract :

The Holy Quran talks about all kinds of encounters and behaviors with God's verses; Be it the verses of the Qur'an or the verses of creation. Decent and necessary behaviors such as: seeing and hearing the verses, thinking, understanding and reminding of the verses, gratitude, crying, prostrating and increasing faith in the verses, certainty in them and…

 And unbecoming and unseemly behaviors, such as: blindness and deafness to the verses, inattention and negligently and complaints about them, disputing in them, forgetting the verses, belittling and mocking them, looking past the verses and ignoring them, accepting the verses and being removed from them, selling the verses for a small price, oppression and deceit in the right of the verses and blocking people's way to them, disbelief, atheism, obstinacy and Denying the verses and…

Confrontation with God's verses originates from a person's belief and is expressed in her actions and behavior, and in this way, confrontations are divided into two types of belief and behavior. Some behave in a proper and appropriate manner in front of the divine verses, and some violate the rights of the verses in order to achieve their worldly goals and show inappropriate behavior in front of the verses, While this world is a prelude to reaching the afterlife.

The Quran, due to its educational nature, emphasizes more on negative and inappropriate encounters and mentions more details about negative encounters. In the Holy Quran, many verses have introduced various positive and negative encounters of humans in front of various verses throughout history.

This article, hoping to God, aims to firstly extract the negative behavioral encounters with the divine verses, then discuss and examine their original and true nature, and in this way, take advantage of various interpretations, especially mystical interpretations.
