| Abstract | ||
| This study aims to highlight the true meaning of “perhaps” occurring in the words of God - Glory be to Him - by presenting the sayings of grammarians and commentators regarding it. The content of the study is that I wanted to highlight the multiplicity of these meanings of (perhaps) is according to its context in the verse, and therefore it is difficult to take a single meaning that is consistent with it wherever it occurs in the Holy Qur’an. I showed that the Qur’anic context and parsing have a clear effect in determining its meaning. The meanings mentioned by scholars, whether grammarians or commentators, are only contextual meanings of “perhaps” occurring in the word of God, but the linguistic meaning of it remains as it is. He mentioned that “perhaps” comes in the sense of reasoning, questioning, and simile, which led them to this. They ruled out its occurrence because it was not reliable that it occurred in the word of God Almighty, and from here religious considerations also had an impact on this difference, and the confusion into which the scholars fell; Because the meaning of “perhaps” is expectation and anticipation, and what is expected without a doubt is not reliable in its occurrence and may or may not happen. Because of this, they were forced to make an interpretation, because it is impossible for Him - the Almighty - to anticipate something whose occurrence is not certain. In this research, I tried as much as I could to show that some of these meanings are intended, and are helped by the Qur’anic context, and it is not possible to assign “perhaps” to a single meaning in all of its locations. I do not claim to have come across every stray and incoming statement regarding perhaps, but it is sufficient for me to have shed light on some. Its aspects and some of its meanings | ||
