One of the theological principles discussed among theologians is the impeccability of prophets, including the Prophet of Islam (PBUH). However, the seemingly ambiguous nature of certain Quranic verses, such as verse 94 of Surah Yūnus , where God attributes doubt to the Prophet (PBUH), appears to contradict this principle. The incorrect interpretation of this verse has led some Christian orientalists to raise doubts about the Prophet's impeccability and the necessity of the testimony of the People of the Book to alleviate his uncertainty. The present study aims to answer the question, ‘Who is the addressee of this verse?’ using a descriptive-analytical method while also presenting the views of various interpreters. Given the Prophet's impeccability and the fact that divine revelation is a form of direct and certain knowledge, ‘How can doubt be reconciled with his impeccability?’ ‘Why does God attribute doubt to the Prophet (PBUH) in this verse?’ Both Sunni and Shia interpreters, based on a negative understanding of the concept of "doubt," have rejected its attribution to the Prophet (PBUH) in verse 94 of Surah Yūnus . As a result, they have offered various interpretations that diverge from the apparent meaning of the verse. However, by focusing on the word "Doubt," a new reading of this verse can be achieved that goes beyond the different interpretive views discussed in this research. The research findings indicate that the addressee of the verse is the Prophet himself, and the doubt mentioned in the verse is an initial, involuntary doubt that arises from a mental fluctuation aimed at seeking the truth. This natural doubt does not carry a negative connotation, so it does not conflict with impeccability, and it can occur to all individuals, including the Prophet.

This study seeks to examine the relationship between right and good - which is an emerging issue in moral philosophy - in the Qur'an. The Qur'an repeatedly introduces good and asks people to choose it in order to be saved. On the other hand, the Quran respects individual and social rights and warns against the violation of these rights. However, sometimes there is a conflict between right and good. In other words, accepting a belief or doing an action, although it is a human's right, but it is not good for him Respecting this free will, the Qur'an advises humans to prioritize good over right as long as it is possible and does not harm the rights of others. The Qur'an advises that in the conflict between the individual right and the good, the good should be preferred, but in the conflict between the collective right and the good, the right should not be ignored as long as the owners of the right have not consented. Prioritizing the good, especially in the fields of worship that have more individual aspects, should not be accompanied by coercion because it violates human free will. The present research has extracted and discussed examples of compatibility and conflict between truth and goodness in the Qur'an by using the analytical descriptive method after introducing the examples of right and good
