Abstract

The present study, using a descriptive-analytical method and within the theoretical framework of structural semantics, focuses on the ideas of Toshihiko Izutsu (1914-1993), and analyzes the lexical field of "hope and hope" in the Holy Quran. By focusing on the structural relationships of the word "raja" with six other key words ("amal", "tama'", "tamanni", "omnieh", "raqeb" and "so'l") and by utilizing the axes of coexistence, substitution, and opposition - the semantic network governing this field has been systematically outlined. The research findings show that these words are located in a hierarchical horizon, with "raja" as the focal and balanced concept, "raqeb" as the underlying origin, and other words as positive, negative, or declarative poles around it. The fundamental achievement of this research is the discovery of a structural pattern of the relationships between these concepts and the explanation of the wise precision of their application in the scope of revelation, which provides a model for similar studies in the field of Quranic semantics.
