Abstract

This research attempts to study the various qur’anic words in terms of similarity in pronunciation and in meaning. The researcher carried out a semantic analysis concerned with the synonymy in the Quranic verse in Surat Yusuf. The researcher's approach is to analyse the verses in which the words have synonymy in meanings. The words were recorded and organized according to the types of synonymy and its divisions, with an explanation of what might be needed from the evidence and the opinions of ancient scholars. The researcher concluded that the synonymy in the terminology is the indication of two or more different words having one name, one meaning, or one indication. In the words of ancient linguists, (words that differ in the pronunciation and have the same meaning) and the types of linguistic synonymy are complete synonymy, semi-synonym (Overlapping), semantic relation, disparity in the general pronunciation, disparity in the strength of meaning, and variance in specification. The synonyms that occur in the Holy Qur’an in Surat Yusuf are (مكّنenabled) (make جعل ), (to bring أتى) and (giveأعطى ), )dreams (أحلام and (vision (رؤيا , )evil (السوء and (immorality(الفحشاء , )plot (كيد and (deception (المكر .
