Semantic transformations in the terms of time in the Holy Quran

Abstract

This study aims to explore and analyze the semantic transformations in the terms of time in the Holy Quran, and to shed light on the changing connotations of these terms over time. The contexts, linguistic structures, and concepts associated with each term of time in the various surahs and verses will be analyzed, and an attempt will be made to interpret these semantic transformations based on the approved linguistic and interpretative references. This research is expected to contribute to shedding light on the development of temporal concepts in the Holy Quran and understanding them more deeply. It can also contribute to clarifying the relationship between language, time, and culture in the Holy Quran, and how the meaning of temporal terms is affected by changes in time, place, and social circumstances. - The meanings of the word (the hour) in the Holy Quran: (absolute time - the resurrection - the moment - a part of the parts of the night and day).

- The meanings of the word (the day) in the Holy Quran: (the time - the days of the week - the number - the present time - the assumption: - the error in the world - the appointment - the victory and the state - the division - the time of the battle - the punishments - the events - the announcement and the priority - the absolute time - the famine - the number of months - the relative time - the days of creation - the creation of the sun from the west - the resurrection)
