The Root “Qaul” (Saying) and its Derivatives and Connotations in the Holy Qur’an: An Objective Study

Abstract

All praise is due to Allah, who has sent down upon His Servant the Book and has not made therein any deviance, and I pray and greet the one after whom there is no prophet, Muhammad, the prophet of guidance, and his family and companions, and those who follow him. The purpose here is to study the verses and sciences of the Noble Qur’an, especially the verses in which many of their connotations are hidden and scholars and commentators have differed about them, in order to reveal some of the secrets of its unique expression, a desire to serve its eternal language and a desire to obtain the reward of this world and the reward of the Hereafter. The active voice Arabic word “qaul”, which means “to say”, and its derivatives and connotations have been selected for this study. Hence, the title becomes “The Root “Qaul” and its Derivatives and Connotations in the Holy Qur’an: An Objective Study”.
