Abstract

One of the divine names that has the most use in the Qur'an after the name of God is the word "Lord". The noble name "Lord" is a blessed and majestic name whose popularity with God, His prophets and saints is undeniable. This word is one of the words included in the Qur'an from the root "RBB". This word has been used in the Qur'an in addition to the situational and primary meaning in another meaning, just as in Arabic it has other meanings in addition to the Qur'anic meaning. In this article, this word and its derivatives in the Holy Quran are examined in order to extract different meanings and its spiritual place in the verses of the Quran. By examining the verses, we find that this word in most cases means God Almighty, whose meanings according to the relevant verses are as follows: creation, revival, immortality, creational guidance, legislative guidance and mercy, and in a few cases in the meaning of non-God. has been used. The use of this word in the meaning of God brings us to the semantic range of this word, so that all the meanings mentioned in this word are hidden and in each of the verses, according to the context, one of its meanings is emphasized. .
