"A-DJ-R" , one of the most ancient triconsonantal roots in the Semitic languages, is used 108 times in 99 Qur'anic verses. Paying attention to the variety of Qur'anic usages of the root "A -DJ -R", Muslim scholars have enumerated up to 6 different meanings for it. Based upon methodology of historical semantics, this study discovers the oldest meaning of the root "A -DJ -R" in the Semitic languages. The different semantic changes of this root, then, are investigated from the proto-Semitic language to the Qur'anic Arabic. This essay indicates that the word "Adjr" conveys three meanings in the Holy Qur'an: firstly, "wage" which is the oldest meaning of the root, and secondly, "reward", and finally, "bride-wealth". These three meanings are used respectively in 24, 70, and 5 Qur'anic verses. Moreover, this study answers an important question that why the Holy Qur'an used the word "Adjr" in reference to the concept of "bride-wealth".

The verse 104 of Surah Al-Imran is one of the most challenging social verses of the Qur'an that commentators and jurists have always disagreed in its interpretation. In general, their interpretations can be placed two general categories of seemingly incompatible: 1) Exclusive obligation of "commanding the good" on a group in society; 2) Public obligation on members of society.Quranic scholars have always said that the reason for these two conflicting views is the ambiguous ability of the preposition (min)"مِن" in this verse; But for the first time this research shows that the reason of these two views is the structural ambiguity of this verse. Examining the subject of this verse - commanding the good and forbidding the evil - which is a hierarchical task, it is shown that this verse has the ability of two longitudinal readings - not two inconsistent interpretations of each other - based on the construction of old/new information. Eventually, the perception of public obligation is coordinated with the context and co-text of the revelation of the verse, and the perception of exclusive obligation can also be a systematic understanding based on a reading beyond the context of the verse.

The literary style of “Tahakkum” is a technique based on Inversion Structure. Regarding to a critical readout of the history of this linguistic method in rhetoric, the present paper aims to uncover the process, secrets, and attractions of this linguistic technique, in addition to its position in the Badī'. Since some Qur’an scholars have found the knowledge of Badī' as practical only in the aesthetics of the Qur’an and have not seen it in the interpretation, this essay, through practical redefinition of the technique of “Tahakkum” and readout of the verses, based on the descriptive-analytical method, looks to find a reasonable answer to the question of “what are the general usages of this technique for understanding and interpreting the Qur’an?”. It is argued that uncovering the meaning of the text, analyzing the intra-textual and extra-textual incompatibility of the verses, revealing the motive of vocabulary selection, making a meaningful and influential interpretation by rebuilding the signs of the text, preventing the carrying of the vocabulary on far meanings and instances, all are of those functions of recognizing the technique of Tahakkum in the process of explanation of the Qur’anic text.
