A Lexical Study of the Semantic Field of "Faḍiḥah" in the Qur’an (Lexical Analysis and Derivation of Educational Implications)

the Qur’an and to derive its educational implications. The central term of this research, "Faḍiḥah," appears only once in the Qur’an and signifies the exposure of faults and the complete loss of a person’s social reputation and credibility. Using a descriptive-analytical method and relying on classical lexical and exegetical sources, the study examines the relationship of this key term with six other Qur’anic cognate words: "Izdirā’" (contempt), "Khizy" (disgrace), "Dhilla" (humiliation), "Ṣaghār" (smallness), "Maskanah" (abjectness), and "Hawān" (lowliness). Findings indicate that these words form a semantic network in which various levels of "Humiliation and Disgrace" can be ranked along an intensity spectrum: "Faḍiḥah and Khizy occupy the strongest level, Hawān and Ṣaghār the intermediate, and Izdirā’, Dhilla, and Maskanah the lower levels." From an educational perspective, this semantic analysis provides a solid foundation for identifying the causes of disgrace (such as arrogance and the spread of immorality) and the strategies to counter it (including self-purification, commanding good, and forbidding bad). The results offer a model for employing lexical analysis in systematically deriving educational concepts from the Qur’an.
