| Summary: | This paper seeks to put forward a new meaning of the word "rahū" in the verse “وَاتْرُکِ الْبَحْرَ رَهْوًا"(44:24). There are two meanings, "calm" and "cloven", mentioned for this word in dictionaries and interpretations of Quran.In this respect, the present article benefits from lexicons and dictionaries such as Lisan al-Arab, Taj al-Arus, Al-Mufradat fi Gharib Al-Quran as well as many important interpretations of Quran in Islamic world from the first interpretation Tafsir Moqatil Soleyman to Tafsir of Nemune and Al-Mizan. However, the author of this paper first proposes that this word has a different meaning in this context then argues that it is foreign (non-Arabic) word and belongs to the language of Semitic family. Hence he has searched for its meaning in Hebrew, Aramaic and Syriac lexicons and dictionaries and has given other meanings that are more consistent with the context of the verse. |
