Structural and semantic features of participles used in the Qur’an

Abstract

This study explores the significance of Arabic participles in understanding and interpreting the Qur'an and hadiths. The research highlights the unique characteristics of Arabic as an inflectional language, emphasizing its ability to create new meanings through affixation. Participles in Arabic, categorized as ism al-fāʿil and ism al-mafʿūl, play a crucial role in expressing subtle meanings. The study focuses on the formation of participles from verb forms called "babs" and their semantic implications. While extensive research exists on the morphological and syntactical aspects of participles, their semantic dimension remains largely unexplored. This article presents a systematic examination of participles' manifestation characteristics in relation to Qur'anic semantics. The research aims to uncover the nuanced semantic meanings and unique features of participles in the Qur'an, as well as their role in word formation. This comprehensive analysis addresses a significant gap in the field and offers valuable insights into the intricate linguistic structure of the Qur'an.
