Critical Analysis of the Views of the Commentators of the Sects on the Concept of "God's Wrath" in the Holy Quran; An Exegetical and Theological Study

The adjectives of the news are one of the challenging issues in Islamic theology that have always been of interest to commentators and have been the subject of detailed discussions in exegetical books. The present study aims to understand the concept of the adjective of the news "anger" and its difference from its human meaning with a lexical and interpretative approach and an analytical-applicative method. The study of the word anger by lexicographers, the analysis of verses containing the word "anger" in the Holy Quran, and the analysis of the views of the most important analytical commentators of the two sects from Tabari to Tabataba'i among all theological sects indicate that "anger" for most commentators means the will and the release of calamity, punishment, wrath, torment, revenge, harm and abominable affliction. Humiliation in this world and the hereafter, curse and entitlement to rejection and distance from mercy, deprivation of favor, force and concealment are other acceptable meanings proposed by commentators. However, the comprehensive and all-encompassing view that covers all other views and expresses a meaning appropriate to God's great position and His incomparable justice and wisdom is "God's actual wrath," which is a manifestation of His wise will to confront corruption and sin and is applicable to other verses. With all those verses, it is possible to interpret wrath in accordance with the context and magnitude of the sin of its perpetrator.
