Abstract

The Qur’anic vocabulary has been distinguished by sublime features, particularly represented in its comprehensiveness, realism, and stability. These features have been clearly reflected on the linguistic levels, and our scholars, past and present, have realized its importance; they have given it great attention and necessary care, to the point that they have shown the beauty of these words through their letters, sounds, movements, and their position in the Qur’anic system. Rather, they have emphasized that the Qur’anic use of the familiar Arabic vocabulary has taken them out of the classical meanings that were familiar to them to meanings with special connotations that are purely for the noble Islamic Sharia. This research aims to explore the characteristics of Qur’anic words by defining them and presenting their most important features. The words "birr" and "salah" were chosen as a model for this study.
