  1 - Historical and Cultural Semantic Approaches to the Qur'anic Term of "Sabīl"
  Ahmad Pakatchi Muhammad Hassan Shirzad Muhammad Husein Shirzad

  According to Qur'anic verses, "Sabīl" is considered as the most frequent term conveying "Path" or "Way" in the context of revelation. Due to different usages in the wide range of textual contexts, the term "Sabīl" has attracted the attention of Muslim lexicographers and exegetes. That's why the specialists in "al-Wujūh wa al-Naẓā'ir" have mentioned 14 meanings for "Sabīl" in the Holy Qur'an. However, Muslim scholars have had not any information about the process of meaning-formation of "Sabīl", its semantic components and the features of this type of way in the context of revelation. Applying historical and cultural semantic approaches, this study attempts to explain the accurate meaning of "Sabīl" at the time of revelation. According to this study, the homonymous root "SBL" has two different origins: on the one hand, the root is formed by adding the performative /S/ to the stem "BL", and on the other hand, it is formed by adding the affirmative /L/ to the stem "SB". Moreover, the present research proves that the term "Sabīl" had a couple of unique features in Qur'anic Arabic: (1) Private roads that were not definite, transparent and visible. (2) Roads which could not be passed through on without experienced guides. Manuscript profile

  2 - Polysemy of the Words al-Waliyy and al-Mawlā in Quran
  Amir Zowqi

  The words "Walī" and "Mawlā" and their derivatives possess a high frequency in the Holy Quran. Muslim scholars have enumerated different meanings for each and have interpreted the related Quranic verses based on them. It seems, however, that there is some excessiveness in assigning these meanings and we can reduce the practical meanings of these words based on analyzing semantic components of their root. In addition, the most frequent meaning of these words implying guardianship and patronage on the one hand and obedience and submissiveness on the other, which has an important role in Quranic discourse, has not attained its deserving place in Quranic-lexicography literature and other Quranic scholarships. Furthermore, "Mawlā" has had various cultural senses in pre-Islamic era which should be taken into consideration when analyzing its meaning in some Quranic verses. The author has profited from certain semantic ideas in accomplishing this study and besides consulting lexicography literature, has not neglected the cultural senses of the terms in the Arabic culture contemporary with the advent of Islam.
