Abstract
Knowing the exact meaning of Qur'an words is the first step to achieve its knowledge. The semantic study of the terms of the Quran leads to coherent and systematic research, extracts precise concepts, and counts the different uses of selected words from the Holy Quran. In the constructivist approach, the words of a language are not a collection of words but a network of interrelated words, in terms of various semantic connections. The importance of the category of “Time” is such that it can be considered as a tool for understanding existence; therefore, the present article examines the conceptual relationships of words related to “Time” in the Holy Qur'an based on a constructivist approach and the semantics of relationships. Also, the meaning of the dictionary and the study of interpretations related to words are the criteria. This study's aim is classifying the Qur'an words related to “Time” in three axes: “ambiguous time sensors”, “general and accurate time sensors” and “partial and accurate time sensors”. The results of the study show a semantic network and conceptual relationships exist between these words in each axis, which is considered as Synonymy, Hyponymy, Antonymy and Meronymy.
