Abstract
Semantics discusses the meanings of words and sentences within the language system, and in the application of the Qur'an, it analyzes the meaning in the context of Mushaf Sharif. Due to the fact that the accurate understanding of vocabulary has an effective relationship with the interpretation and understanding of the text, it is necessary to study the vocabulary. In this descriptive-analytical article, Baroosh has discussed the semantics of the word Haraf in the Holy Quran. In this way, considering the issue of the context of the Qur'anic verses with each other, we have analyzed the semantic field of the letter and the concepts related to it in different verses. This work was done with the focus of six verses of letters in the Qur'an and the connected and disconnected contexts of these verses. The result of the present research is: the word y-harf in the Qur'an system means change, conversion, interpretation, deviation, withdrawal and hypocrisy; And by maintaining the relationship with its literal meaning, it has been changed from a positive and place-related meaning to a negative meaning and has been used as an attribute and characteristic for unbelieving people.
