Abstract
In this article, the difference between the meaning of the word Alaa and Nemat has been investigated. These two words are used in the Qur'an, but the translators also translated the word "Ala" as "Blessing". If we believe that every word in the Qur'an has its own meaning, there must be a difference in the meaning of these two words. Therefore, to understand the conceptual difference between these two words, we conducted this research. After examining the literal and interpretative meaning of these two words, it is understood that the word "Ala" tells the story of the peak of God's mercy and love, which is one of its examples. From this point of view, "Ala" is a blessing. Also, in blessing, the only consideration is the blessing itself from the material or spiritual aspect, external or internal and [...] But in "ala" in addition to its generality and including all types and examples of "nemat"; It also expresses the attribute of God's power. In the final part, the conceptual commonalities of blessing and blessing with grace, kindness, mercy and grace were pointed out and the difference in meaning of each was explained. This article has been written using library sources and analytical-descriptive method.
