The College of Islamic Sciences at the University of Karbala held a discussion on the master’s thesis titled “Quranic Verses Indicating Corruption and Mischief.”

The thesis, written by student Ali Riyadh Zimam, consists of three chapters preceded by an introduction and followed by a conclusion. The first chapter examined the rhetorical styles used by the Quran to present verses on corruption and mischief. The second chapter focused on the structural aspect of these verses, highlighting the importance of context in conveying the true meaning of Quranic words, which cannot be fully understood without their relation to other words in the text. The third chapter was dedicated to studying the imagery and rhythm in the selected verses.

The conclusion of the thesis emphasized that the Quranic text is unique in its influence. Its impact goes beyond merely choosing the right words; it also relies on subtle suggestions and allusions, which enhance the beauty and power of its style. This feature has given the Quran an enduring quality, making its meanings timeless and applicable across different eras. It also expands the scope of contemplation and reflection on the multiple meanings of words. Additionally, the study revealed the Quran’s diverse methods in presenting truths and meanings within the verses under analysis, among other findings.
