Shura (consultation) and political participation are two key concepts in the Islamic political system, rooted in the Quran and the tradition of the Infallibles (Ma’sumin). This article, through an analytical-interpretive approach, examines the nature of Shura in the Quran and demonstrates that conditional maximal (agentive) political participation is not only a rational mechanism but also a religious obligation in the era of occultation. By referencing the Quranic verses on Shura and the practice of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), the author argues that consulting the people and adhering to its outcomes strengthens the foundations of a religious government’s legitimacy. This research is a significant step in elucidating Shiite political theory and addressing contemporary challenges in Islamic governance.

Studying the concept of the heart in the Qur’an presents an interdisciplinary challenge that transcends the boundaries of religious exegesis, philosophy of mind, and neuroscience. Through a meta-synthesis of 24 credible studies, this research demonstrates how the Qur’anic framework simultaneously interprets the heart as a "pineal organ," the "third ventricle of the brain," and a "locus of spiritual intuition." Findings reveal that 72% of the examined articles regard the heart as pertaining to a metaphysical realm, while 28% focus on its scientific-physiological explanations. This dichotomy not only highlights the need for deeper dialogue between empirical sciences and theology but also raises fundamental questions about the nature of consciousness and the mind-body connection. Has the time come to move beyond traditional dualism toward an integrated model of the heart as a "multi-layered nucleus"?

"In an era where philosophical and theological discourses often confine themselves to rigid deductive and a priori frameworks, this article offers a fresh perspective on the 'argument from creation' in the Quran. By emphasizing the non-deductive nature of these arguments and comparing them to scientific methods like Inference to the Best Explanation (IBE), the author demonstrates how the Quran presents faith not as a product of abstract propositions, but as the fruit of a living, experiential encounter with the world. This approach both addresses contemporary critiques of classical proofs and establishes an inseparable connection between rationality, experience, and religious intuition. This article is essential reading for those concerned with reconciling modern science with Quranic theology."

In an era where social challenges - from poverty and corruption to identity crises and environmental issues - are testing the world, revisiting Quranic teachings about "governance of will" is not only necessary but salvific. This research, through profound analysis of Quranic verses and perspectives of Islamic scholars, demonstrates that strengthening collective will based on concepts like determination, trust in God (tawakkul), and unity is the only way to overcome current impasses. What distinguishes this article is its presentation of an operational framework for transforming theoretical teachings into social actions - a step toward a society where "will" forms the core of ideal governance.
