Abstract
In lexical writings, in some cases, a meaning of a few words is called a synonym. The study of the meanings of synonymous words of the Holy Quran has been considered by researchers; Therefore, the discussion of synonymy is one of the most frequent semantic connections of the Holy Quran and has a special importance in the knowledge of semantics. The study of synonyms can reveal some aspects of the wisdom of choosing synonyms. This is especially important in the component analysis model; And makes the conceptual scope of a word subject to more limited components called semantic components. By analyzing it, similarities and differences between related words are revealed. And the role of irreplaceability in explanation also makes sense. Using this semantic applied hypothesis, this article examines the characteristics of four pairs of beautiful names of God; And opens the subscriptions and differences of each of the four selected pairs. And explains the specific conditions and distinctions of their linguistic environment. Studies show that among the synonyms, one can express the meaning appropriate to that context in a specific context and language environment. And be specific to specific components. Therefore, on the one hand, it is not possible to replace that name with other synonymous names. And on the other hand, all the components of a name in one verse are meant by God. Because it is inconsistent with the rhetoric of the Qur'an; And causes a semantic deviation from the speaker.
