Abstract
Historical and descriptive semantics of Quranic words is one of the new research methods in the Holy Quran. This method is used for words that have multiple meanings and it is necessary to discover the meaning of the word in each verse and its evolution. According to the commentators, the word nation is not used in one sense, but, according to the context of each verse, it is mentioned in multiple meanings. In this research, firstly, with a temporal approach, the evolution of the word is examined. According to the temporal approach, although this word and its derivatives are seen in Hebrew, Aramaic and Syriac texts, as well as in the Testaments and Jahili poems, but Due to the existence of other derivatives in non-Arabic languages, a word is involved. This word has undergone semantic development throughout history and has reached the semantic fields of society, religion, time, pattern and distortion, and the semantic field of non-human. In the next step, through the semantics of simultaneity, by analyzing the usages and by extracting the concepts of companion and substitute of Ummah, cleared that this word has the most association with one word, and the analysis of the characteristics of its companions is a way to find the substitute of Ummah. But the final analysis is related to the recognition of the substitutes of the nation, which was determined by examining the companions of the same that the word "self" can be known as the best substitute for the word "umma".
