One of the most ubiquitous terms in the Qur’an, taqwa, or ‘fear of God’, serves as a major theme and leitmotif of the wider Quranic vision. This study explores, both lexically and semantically, the way in which this term is situated within the Quranic universe of discourse, proposing that by attending to the broader semantic dynamism of the text itself we are in a better position to understand the range and scope of the vision which shaped the Qur’an’s  key thematic structures. Methodologically, the study has made use of a systematic statistical survey of the Quranic lexicon, deriving by way of computer- aided analysis a comprehensive inventory of all morphological derivations of radicals connoting the general idea of ‘fear’, a larger semantic grouping to which the term taqwa belongs. Predicated upon the results of this empirical survey, the study takes as its primary analytic framework the Qur’an’s  inherent intertextual reflexivity  and argues that observable semantic shifts in the rhetoricity of the term taqwa represent circumstantial developments in the text’s basic chronology.

The root of Vahy in Arabic at the time of the revelation of the Qur'an had no gender dimension. With the revelation of the Holy Quran, a wide semantic transformation begins. In theological knowledge, this word has found a semantic allocation. It is assigned to man and then to the prophets and their relationship with God. Theological knowledge transforms the central meaning of this word from the "act of God" to the "power of prophecy". Although this power has a passive meaning in the eyes of some, but it has become a subject and is at the center of the concept of revelation.In philosophical thought, the angel of revelation is interpreted as a separate intellect or the tenth intellect in the hierarchy of intellects, and the perfect human intellect becomes the focal element of the concept of revelation.During semantic changes, gender has entered the field of the meaning of revelation, first through the difference in the meaning of revelation on men and women in the interpretations of the Qur'an, then in the Inherence of the meaning of revelation and prophecy and then in the Inherence of the meaning of revelation and the intellect of the person being revealed.Prophecy and reason are both concepts related to gender in the history of Islamic thought.However, in the Holy Quran, there is no sign of a two-way Inherence between revelation and prophecy or revelation and reason. Therefore, it seems that revelation in the discourse of the Qur'an not only lacks a gender dimension but also a human dimension. 

The word Islam and its derivatives are among the most important words mentioned in pre-Islamic poetry, in The Noble Qur’an, and in the Nahj al-Balagha, where each of the three sources dealt with the word and its derivatives, as its use may be shared in the three sources and may differ. The researcher tried during the lines that are in your hands to put the light on the root of "Salam (Peace)" and its various derivatives through a descriptive analytical method and to clarify the significance of the word and its derivatives in the three mentioned sources, to record its semantic changes. The results of the study indicate that the root of "Salam (Peace)" in the pre-Islamic era had a material connotation, while this indication in the Holy Qur’an and the Nahj al-Balagha - as well as the physical connotation - were characterized by religious connotations highlighted by the researcher during the article, including the word Islam in the sense of that inclusive religion that all the prophets brought from the creation of Adam to the religion of Khatam an-Nabiyyin ,the Prophet Muhammad Mustafa, then in the sense of absolute submission to take command from God Almighty, that submission which applies to all living and non-living beings while it does not go beyond what God Almighty has planned since the creation of the beings, and does not exceed what has assigned to that beings and the other meanings that the researcher showed as much as she could.

Semantic change in the words; is one of the main factors among scientists, that make a difference in meaning the traditions. This means that some words lose their original meaning over time and have been used on a new meaning. Explaining hadith according to changed meaning has led hadith narrators and commentators, in some cases, getting away from the first meaning that is the main and original meaning of the speaker. The basic question is what rules can be proposed to get the right understanding of Words whose strangeness results from a semantic change? In this study, we have tried to express the position of the semantic change and investigate rules of hadith comprehension with a focus on a particular case; rules like: refer to the first-hand dictionary of linguistics, search in the books of Gharib al-Hadith, Paying attention to the understanding of the Predecessors of narrators, the similar narrations, the interpreter narrations, the context and finally the interpretation of infallible Imams that all of them are very important to achieve the purpose of speaker and correct understanding of narrations.

The appearance of some words of the Holy Quran has made the theory of synonymy of words of this scripture prominent for some experts so that some people, whether in expressing the literal meanings of words or in expressing the interpretation of those words, have considered these words as synonyms. However, semantic analyses and attention to the context of these words show the differences and subtle nuances of meanings such as the differences of the words "Istafā" and "Ikhtāra". The word "Istafā" in the Quran refers to the selection and this selection is just for Prophets and good people, as well as the people who have purified themselves for Allah by endeavoring. Moreover, theses people have achieved a great degree and have been selected by Allah because of avoiding sins, having faith in God, and doing good deeds. In contrast, the word "Ikhtāra" has been used in cases in which the focal point has been only humans, or where a comparison between two things has been made and then one of these things has been selected due to its virtue. Therefore, the use of these words in a context conveys a meaning that is different from another meaning in a different context. This stresses the importance of the context of the verses of the Holy Quran in order to find the meanings of the words.

This article discusses about reality of semantic change (Naql), improvisation (irtejal), polysemy, factors that produce them, and types of classification of semantic change. Also discussion about verbal change, cultural and circumstances change is confirm in this essay. In addition, after presenting factors of semantic change (Naql), this article turns to comparative studying about these factors, namely to specify existence of semantic change (Naql) and temporal era of taking place it by these factors. Finally, principle of “Non- semantic change” and four types of it, in cases that existence of semantic change is doubtful and also in cases that history of change is doubtful is studied in this essay.
