Semantic Interconnectedness (Semantic Unity) in the Holy Quran Surat An-Nas as a Model (A Fundamental Study Based on the Interpretation of Al-Tabari (d. 310 AH)

Abstract

Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds, and may blessings and peace be upon our Master Muhammad, his family, and all his companions. In this study, the researcher addressed a topic considered novel in the field of Islamic studies, employing both inductive and analytical approaches according to a methodological plan consisting of an introduction and three sections. The study concluded, with praise and thanks to God, that the difference in Surat al-Nas regarding whether it was revealed in Mecca or Medina is due to the following? It came from the confusion in the incident of the attempt to bewitch the Prophet - may God bless him and grant him peace - so whoever linked the revelation of Surat An-Nas to it said that it was revealed in Medina, and the study dealt with an important issue, which is the duality of word and meaning, and proved the separation between the unity of subject and the unity of meaning, which in turn - meaning - exceeds the limits of that apparent duality between word and meaning in Surat An-Nas From its special meaning of duality to entering into a close semantic bond, through which deep connotations with the rest of the chapters of the Holy Quran become clear; through which a great miraculous secret is revealed that is linked to the source of the Holy Quran. God Almighty said: “And you did not recite before it any scripture, nor did you inscribe it with your right hand. Then the falsifiers would have had doubts.” (Al-Ankabut: 48), and the researcher claims that this study will open a new, broad horizon for studying the Holy Qur’an in light of the existence of - so to speak - the theory of moral unity
