Mohsin Hassan Awla, Amir Rafiq Awla
This study inspects the syntactic and semantic orientation of the Quranic quotation in monogram, in the book "Sarf al-Inayah fi Kashf al-Kifayah" by the Kurdish scholar Abdullah al-Baytushi (d. 1221 AH). This is the second explanation on his poem "Kifayat al-Ma'ani fi Huruf al-Ma'ani". It addresses to focus on and explain the letters of meaning in grammar. In his clarification of the letters of meaning , he compromised poetic verses he composed himself, evidence of several grammatical matters related to the meanings of the letters. Al-Baytoushi’s technique in explanation is distinguished by analytical precision and dependence on the speech of grammarians who came before him. Al-Baytoushi relied in his book on authentic, reliable sources, from the Qur’an, Hadeeth, and poetry. He mentions his unique opinion , the opinions he preferred, the raised objections , and the corrections . He adopted the method of selection and preference without bias toward among the schools concerning explaining the meanings of the connotations of letters according to the alphabetical sequence, and adherence to monogram, double, triple, quadruple, and quintuple letters with guidance in syntactic analysis. His book shows his efforts to simplify complex syntactic issues for students, via methodological explanations, illustrative examples, and subjection to the scholars’ opinion and discussing objectively. The research focused on the Qur’anic evidence cited by Al-Baytoushi in his book for the meanings of monograms and explaining the letters, cited by many of Qur’anic verses , we’ll devote to the grammatical and semantic explanation. We’ll discuss the monograms, that their structure consists of one letter, depending on the descriptive analytical method, for reaching the result of this analysis.
Volume 12 · Issue 6 · December 2025An Investigation to Semantic Fields of a Poem (Banat Su’ad) By Ka’b Bin Zuhair
Dler Abdalla Ahmed
The theory of semantic fields can be considered as a modern semantic theory which appeared in the west in the twentieth century. The purpose is to study meanings behind the words and sentences. This field has also roots in the Arabic linguistic heritage, especially in dictionaries related to linguistic subjects. The purpose of this research is to investigate this theory and its application it to the poem of (Banat Su’ad) that Ka’b bin Zuhair recited in front of the Messenger of Allah Mohammed (Peace be upon him). The prophet Mohammed was astonished by the poem and he blessed him and granted him peace. This study was based on the descriptive analytical approach, as it tracked the vocabulary in the poem, and collected them into specific groups - semantic fields - and explained their meanings in the context in which they appeared. Then, at the end of each field, a light has been shed on semantic relationships between the vocabularies of that field. The studied material has been divided it into four main sections, an introduction, which includes the explanation semantic field concept and their significance, as well as a brief regarding the poem (Banat Su’ad) and its writer. The first section deals with vital rational beings, the second with significance irrational beings, the third with unimportant beings, and the fourth section with abstractions. Finally, the researcher has reached the most significant results which have been mentioned as conclusions.
Volume 11 · Issue 5 · October 2024A Semantic Study of the Beautiful Names of Allah and His Supreme Attributes
Jihad Qadir Ali Mustafa
the correct understanding of God Almighty is not only the most necessary but the primary prerequisite of religious life, and knowledge of His names and attributes is also connected with this comprehension. Nonetheless, knowledge in this area has never been without significant and stormy adversities whereby many notions related to the names and attributes of God have become displaced and misinterpreted over time. Since Arab accent is crucial in appropriate understanding of these subjects Arabic is thus a powerful and key tool for dealing with these issues. Arabic language is relevant in this study in light of the fact that it is very relevant in crafting right conceptions of the aforementioned concepts. The language’s ignorance has led to many misunderstandings. The research entitled: ‘A Semantics Investigation of the Beautiful Names of Allah and the Supreme Qualities of Allah: A Pragmatic Analysis of Sahih Al Bukhari’. The importance of this issue cannot be overemphasized because it restores the original methodology of the early generations of approaching the understanding of the names and attributes of God. The purpose of this work is to recall the intentions of the first generations in the recognition of God’s names and qualities. I hope that this work helps fulfill the reason for the creation of humanity and jinn, as stated in the Quran: Thus, the Quran says:. existing and based,"Upon the authority of Allah, it stated: “And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me” Quran 51:56. For this study I carried out a comprehensive study of Sahih Al-Bukhari and its explanations and Arabic dictionaries for all the information on the topic to be sourced. It is made up of two major parts and is followed by the introduction and preface and contains findings from the study. Based on the method used in this piece of research, the analysis is analytical, because it is only possible to choose hadiths that are most discussed in scholarly conversations due to the fact that there is a large number of prophetic hadiths that refer to the names and attributes of Allah.
