The Quranic Text in the Thought of Toshihiko Izutsu, an Applied Descriptive Analytical Study of Semantic Fields of the Word "Reib"

To do a proper translation, the meaning of the words that are the components of the sentence must be carefully explored. Therefore, it is necessary for the translator to use the knowledge of semantics to obtain the meaning of words. One of the semantic methods is dedicated to Izutsu theory, which is used in the field of Quranic vocabulary. In order to extract the meaning of words, Izutsu deals with the meaning of the word in pre-Islamic poetry and, with a semantic look, turns to textual definition, word substitution, contrasting words, semantic field, negative form of words, synonymy of expressions and usage in nonreligious context. This research, with the method of descriptive analysis, semantically examines the word " Doubt" using the first 4 methods of Izutsu. Through this research, it became clear that the word "rib" was used in preIslamic poetry, along with sequences such as "menun", "events", "time" and "eternity" meaning hard events, death, unpleasant events, and so on. But in the Qur'an, the phrase "Rib al-Munoon" appears only once. In religious and doctrinal concepts, the word rib has uses in the Qur'an, the true meaning of which is doubt through enmity and hatred. Therefore, in order to fully transfer the semantic units to the target language, a "descriptive" sequence has been proposed for it.
