Semantic Linguistic Development in the Words of Fasting.

Abstract

The main objective of the research is to demonstrate that linking semantic development studies with an explanation of the meanings of the Prophet’s Sunnah is very important, and that clarifying the meanings of the Prophetic Sunnah’s words depends on the origins and linguistic connotations of the word, whether it has one origin or different origins, also depends on what happened in those linguistic origins of the semantic development Because of the various factors surrounding it, the researcher must explain the Sunnah of the Prophet to pay close attention to the semantic linguistic development of words, especially if his explanation of the Prophet’s Sunnah is based on devotional rulings

The research chose a set of words related to the worship of fasting, and studied its linguistic origins, the evolution and the semantic change that occurred in those origins, and the way of the Arabs used these words through different eras, until they reached the meaning used in Islamic times, and the research continued in the descriptive analytical method.
