The Word (qara’a) (read) in the Holy Koran and pre- Islamic Poetry
Abstract
This research deals with the verb “qara’a” (read) and with what is derived from or built on in Qur’an and pre Islam poetry. The research stems from the assumption that this item (read) did not appear in pre-Islam Arabic in the meaning agreed upon regarding the concept of reading a written text, and what is stated in the Qur’an regarding the use of this item (the verb read) is the development of the connotation of a language item related to a common Semitic origin. The connotation is linked with religious text, in the first place, in Aramaic, Syriac and Hebrew; its impact extended to Arabic with the revelation of Qur’an . The researcher concludes that the meanings and connotations stated in Arabic dictionaries of this language item are late, which Arab linguists tried to arbitrarily gear them to suit the new developed connotations.
Keywords: (qara’a) read, Qur’an, Pre-Islam poetry, connotative development, semantic, comparative studies
