Asst. Lect. Habib Hussein Ali , Asst. Lect. Zaid Saeed Abbas 94-117

Abstract

    The importance of the research lies in revealing the connotations of the root in the Holy Qur’an and its contexts. The word may be mentioned in many contexts, and its meaning appears in every context in which it occurs, different from its meaning in which it appears in another context in the Holy Qur’an. The research revealed the difference between, for example, the difference between (Nadhr ‘vow’)  and (Anthar ‘warn’). Anthar ‘warn’ indicates intimidation or apprehension, and the word Nadhr ‘vow’ means a covenant and commitment to every action, and so on. The meaning of (vow) is different from the meaning of the word (warning), so the warning indicates the confirmation of the description in the subject, and the warning indicates the aspect of the role of the event from the subject and its resurrection. The nature of the research necessitated its division into two sections. The first dealt with the lexical significance of the root (na dha r), while the second section studied the verses mentioned for the root (na dha r) in the Holy Qur’an, with an introduction and a conclusion in which the most important results were mentioned.
