Abstract

One of the important concerns of Muslim thinkers in the modern era is to enrich Islamic knowledge in the light of modern sciences such as cognitive semantics, which deals with the relationship between conceptual structure and conceptualization. The aim of this research is to deeply understand the concept of swearing in the Holy Quran using the semantic method. This article, which is the result of a research, is practical in terms of its purpose, has a descriptive-inferential nature in terms of the method of analysis, and is conducted through library work. All the verses of the Holy Quran are the statistical population of this research, and the examples of this research are derived from the context of the verses in which the keywords related to swearing are located. First, the data and the primary concepts are collected in a library method. Then, by studying the interpretations of the Quran and related books, we will analyze and review each of the opinions of researchers and experts. As the result of the research show, 56 percent of the oath verses have a power schema, which is the more frequent compared to the movement and volume schema. Also, the oaths of the Qur'an are forces to guide people, and the illustration of the category of power in the conceptualization of the oaths is more tangible.
