چکیده

The word Imlaq is introduced in only two verses of the Qur'an as one of the reasons for infanticide. The application of the etymology method can be helpful to reach the semantic core of the word Imlaq and to receive the message of the Quranic verses. The root of "Malaq" in the Arabic language has four meanings similar to other Semitic languages; First, intense friendship and love, second, the meaning of loving leading to poverty, which can be said that the fame of the meaning of Imlaq to poverty is derived from the second meaning. The third and fourth meanings indicate the desire to leave and straighten, respectively, and are the result of entering the meanings of similar roots such as malakh and malas to the root of malaq. Imlaq in the Tigrinya language means a false god, which in other Semitic languages such as Hebrew, Akkadian, and South Arabic has become "amlak" meaning goddess and king. Amlak is derived from the name of a false god named "Malcum", "Molek" or "molukh" in the Bible, which was worshiped in many ancient civilizations, and young children were sacrificed to it. Therefore, the semantic core of Imlaq was formed from the root of Malaq, which means extreme friendship and affection resulting from the worship of the idol of Imlaq, and gradually evolved into the meaning of poverty.
