Semantics of Hijab in the Quran

Understanding the deep meanings of Qur'anic verses about hijab requires understanding the Quranic vocabulary. In semantics, which is one of the branches of modern linguistics, we look for the meaning of the word formed in a context or discourse. The Quran has many semantic layers that can be discovered through semantic science. This essay, carefully focused on the words related to the hijab, seeks the meaning of hijab on the basis of word books and commentary books, to identify the literal and semantic meanings of the words about hijab. This work studies the semantics of the term "hijab" in the Qur'an through conjunction and substitution relationship examining the connection among different words, which is in a chain of words, or words that do not necessarily have a physical presence in the sentence but can be substituted each other. The words “Setr”, “Ghata’”, “Khamar”, “Jalbab”, “Tabarruj” are some of the words examined in this article.
