The semantic net for vice in Kuran

Abstract

One of the new methods of studying Kuran is semantics' of Kuranic verses. In this approach, after choosing the keywords, the semantic fields of each word, along with the systematic relation between them is studied in order to show some of the hidden stages of meanings. In this article, using the mentioned method, we have studied some of the keywords of vice lexically, exegetically and in its context. unveiling its core meaning, we have eliminated the relation between these keywords, detecting and displaying the systematic teaching of the Kuran. Our emphasizes in this study is that the Kuranic world view is God-centered i.e. there is no main concept in Kuran independent from the concept of God and virtues are a weak reflection and an imperfect emulation of the divine attributes. Whenever this reflection is concealed and hidden(kufr),the principal bad deeds will appear which are error(zelalat), impiety(fesgh), injustice(zulm), lust(hava), idolatry(sherk). These words are of basic and demonstrative words with real concept. They comprise the main moral terms at the first language stage and enjoy a distinct statue in the Kuranic moral system.
