        Biological diversity in Iran is in a way that it has formed exclusive and exceptional ecosystem which require protection as national heritage same as the way the global society has protected such phenomena as common mankind heritage through the Convention on Protection of Cultural and Natural Heritage (1972) in accordance with the selective-value based criteria implementing frameworks on the basis of originality, integrity and management in order to effectively protect such phenomenon at the present time and in the future. Based on the studies, Iran has registered 17 global cultural heritage since 1975 (including  Persepolis,Tchogha Zanbil, Takht-e soleyman, Bam and its cultural landscape, Soltaniyeh and Shahr-i-sokhta) whereas it has not registered any natural heritage yet and it has merely presented some suggestions to UNESCO. In this regard, based on the library studies, interviews with experts and study of the upstream documents and existing regulations, certain areas of four regions which have been mostly recognized as habitats are more qualified due to their conformity with the selective-value based criteria. Therefore, from 274 existing regions, 7 regions i.e.the National Park of Golestan, Kavir, Preserved district of Arasbaran, Genu, Arjan and Parishan, Touran National Park, Preservation and shelter for the wildlife, Miankaleh wildlife shelter were selected and after comparative study with the UNESCO Convention criteria, finally Golestan and Kavir Nationals Parks were suggested as natural phenomena for the registration in the list of the Convention's Natural heritage Manuscript profile

        Badā’ or the mutability of God’s will, is one of the major teachings of the Shī‘ite theology. This concept from the earliest times has drawn Muslim scholars’ attention to itself. Because of its opposition to divine omniscience some scholars have hesitated over it and tried to reject it and the others have tried to analyze and support it. In this respect, paying attention to the usage of this expression in the Divine Book and the Transmitted Traditions is very critical for analyzing it, because its understanding depends on the deep recognition of religious teachings. By quoting valid opinions, this essay tries to survey and criticize the views of Muslim scholars about Badā’. Manuscript profile
