An Introduction to the Ontology of Lies from the Perspective of the Qur'an

Document Type : Original Article

Abstract

This study aims to discover the existential and ontological relationship between the word "lie" and other words in the Holy Quran. The question is whether there is a way to discover the exact, explicit, clear, and true relationship between the concept of lie and other concepts in the Qur'an so that the geometry of this concept can be accurately illustrated from the perspective of the Holy Qur'an. To achieve this goal and through a descriptive method and content analysis, it has been tried to use the method of ontology, in the sense intended in information science (scientology) to discover the existential relationship between the word lie and other concepts in the Qur'an. The research data is that in the Holy Qur'an, the word Kidhb (meaning lie) and its derivatives such as Takdhib, Kadhib, Yakdhiboun are related to many other words such as polytheism, infidelity, hypocrisy, non-adherence to divine guardianship and non-adherence to religion. By using the ontology method, the type of these relationships is clearly, accurately, and vividly illustrated. For example, polytheism has been shown to be one of the greatest lies and polytheist is the greatest liar.
