Synonymy in the Surahs of the Qur'an
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Surahs were revealed in the Qur'an that contain synonymy, such as Surat al-Layl and Surat al-Duha.
The Shaykh:
What is it?
The questioner:
Synonymy, he says, synonymy.
The Shaykh:
Synonymy? Yes. I do not know of synonymy; there are no surahs that contain synonymy. In the speech of the Arabs, there is synonymy, and when the word and the meaning coincide, the speech becomes synonymous. This is the meaning of synonymy: when two words coincide in both word and meaning, that is synonymous. And I do not know that some of the Qur'an is synonymous, yes.
