خلاصة:
Among the various opinions presented regarding the nature of disjointed letters, Fakhr al-Razi's view emphasizes the semantic relationships between these letters and other Quranic concepts. He believes that there is a co-occurrence between the disjointed letters at the beginning of surahs and the concepts of Kitab (Book), Quran, and Tanzil (Revelation). Surahs that begin with disjointed letters contain the concepts of Kitab, Quran, and Tanzil, and conversely, every surah that begins with these concepts is preceded by disjointed letters at its start. Based on part of this view, by considering the co-occurrence of disjointed letters with the concepts of Kitab and Quran and the semantic relationships between them, one can delineate the semantic domain of these letters in the Quran. This article aims to explain the semantic domain of these letters in the Quran by presenting Fakhr al-Razi's view and critiquing it, taking into account the semantic relationships governing these letters.
ملخص الجهاز:
Among these views, the opinion of Fakhr al-Razi, which proposes the collocation 72 of the disjointed letters with the concepts of "Quran", "Kitab" (Book), and "Tanzil" (Revelation), is semantically worthy of study.
This includes the idea that the disjointed letters are merely letters with which God has begun His word, and the intention was simply this opening of the surahs with them, without a specific meaning intended (Tabari, 1953, Vol. 1, p.
The disjointed letters are related to and accompanied by three concepts: "Kitab" (Book), "Quran", and "Tanzil" (Revelation) (Fakhr Razi, 1420, Vol. 25, p.
Fakhr Razi's view can be divided into two parts: the first part refers to the co-occurrence of the disjointed letters with the words Quran, Kitab, and Tanzil; meaning that every surah that begins with disjointed letters contains a mention of the concepts of Quran, Kitab, and Tanzil.
The second part refers to the co-occurrence of the concepts of Quran, Kitab, and Tanzil with the disjointed letters; meaning that every surah in which there is a mention of Quran, Kitab, and Tanzil at its beginning, disjointed letters appear at its start.
According to Fakhr Razi's words, it seems he considers this same matter to be the reason for the lack of mention of the Book and the Quran at the beginning of Surahs Maryam and Ar-Rum (Fakhr Razi, 1420, Vol. 25, pp.
