Literal or word by word translation of literary works especially translation of those literary men that state philosophic, religious thoughts in their works, has always created some difficulties and challenges. Some of these challenges that we can point out are some elements that are in the surface structure, finding synonyms, and all kinds of literal translation from those texts. Jibran Khalil Jibran’s "Albadae'e wa altaraef" focuses on various types of life, views, and social events and with his philosophical opinions, he speaks about his ideas. The researcher, using a qualitative method, tries to analyze Simin Panahi Fard’s translation of this book entitled "New and Wonder Thought" at the level of lexical and sentence equivalency, from the form and meaning points of view. The researcher has tried to give some solutions in order to generally improve the qualitative level of the translation and specially translation of this work. The result of the research shows that the translator has tried to have a loyal literal translation or word by words toward the structure of the origin text, which has caused the structure of many Arabic sentences to move to Persian language; as a result, heterogeneity in the structure of these sentences and improper constructions make ambiguities in the text. Sometimes this translated book has faced some challenges to find suitable equivalents for the technical vocabulary and expressions.

One of the lessons considered essential for the better understanding of Quranic knowledge in the field of Persian literature is familiarity with Quranic sciences. But, this lesson has some drawbacks in goals, syllabuses, and educational books that have diminished its importance, attractiveness and effectiveness, which havegreatly influenced this lesson. Three important and widely circulated textbooks are written by the scholars Radmanesh, Halabi, and Rokni. While these textbooks possess some merits such as inclusion of the most significant Quranic Sciences, useful and valuable information in this regard as well as some literary topics proportionate to the subject, they also have some demerits and drawbacks. The critical problem is the lack of a comprehensive and methodological approach to include the literary subjects related to the syllabus designs which are mentioned in the educational books on Introduction to Quranic Sciences, which, along with such factors as comprehensive and non-impediment of teaching lessons, addressing unnecessary material, the lack of prioritization of Qur'anic topics based on its reflection in literature and turmoil. In compiling the content of textbooks, this lesson has been thrown into the fringe of specialized Persian literature courses. In this research, we try to find ways to improve the quality of the lesson and improve its status through a descriptive-analytical method along with pathology and critique of the educational sections and academic courses of the Quranic sciences familiarizing.

Teaching “Nahj al-Balaghah” as one of the major branches of Islamic literature has been considered in Iranian universities for more than three decades in form of compulsory and optional course. One of the common and almost traditional teaching methods of this great text is to express its religious teachings and the underlying wisdom, faith and educational points. Nahj al-Balaghah is known as an important branch of the Arabic literature in classification of the texts, so paying attention to the literary aspects of “Nahj al-Balaghah” is essential in its teaching. This is because with the help of efficient and modern teaching methods, the professors can increase the student’s skills like proper text reading, semantic understanding, literary taste and recognizing stylistic features of Imam Ali’s (pbuh) speech. Today, theorists and specialists in the field of literature teaching have offered effective strategies for teaching “Nahj al-Balaghah”, which both consider teaching its content and cover the literature of this great text. Thus, the present study seeks to introduce these strategies and find out to what extent they have been implemented in Tehran universities. The main tool in this descriptive-analytical research is a questionnaire. Some of the most important findings of the present research show that “Nahj al-Balaghah” is not taught as a literary text in the universities, but rather its contents are considered and paid attention to.
