The Morphological Significance in the Quran: An Analysis of Word Forms in Surah Nuh

Abstract

Abstract: This study falls within the field of morphological and semantic analysis of the Quran, using Surah Nuh as a case study. Its objective is to explore the role and implications of morphological patterns in the surah to uncover the intended Quranic meanings. The study's findings reveal that past tense verbs are used to highlight the rejection of Nuh’s message by his people and to emphasize the abundance of Allah's blessings. Present tense verbs are employed to call for piety and repentance, while imperative verbs are linked to Allah’s command to Nuh to warn his people. Additionally, derived nouns and forms of exaggeration reflect meanings of permanence and continuity, highlighting the characteristics of Nuh’s people such as disbelief and injustice.
