OMISSION IN SYNTACTIC STRUCTURE OF AYAT-OL-AHKAM AND ITS SEMANTIC EFFECT

Omission as a public phenomenon is common in all languages including Arabic. In such cases، knowing right meaning of sentences depends on the right understanding of omission and its place because omission results in different hypotheses leading to different understandings and likely opposite understandings. Importance of omission and guessing is double in verses named as Ayat-ol-Ahkam. Different opinions of religious authorities in guessing what is omitted result in different meaning and following it issuing different Commands (Ahkam). The major and complex point of discussion in these Verses that lead to different meanings is the guessing what is omitted. Existing abundance ofomissions in these Verses including letter and word as well as sentences and as a result abundance of dowsing about what is omitted have made the current research important. There is no scientific research that could deeply study omission issue in Ayat-ol-Ahkam and answer questions such as what kind of omission has more effects and applications. So، we have no choice than to study the syntax structure of Ayat-ol-Ahkam and semantic effect of omission in these Verses by analytic-explanatory method.
