Relative synonymy is done by paying attention to the number of meanings of a linguistic unit The words "Sanah and Aaam", both of which are used in the Qur'an, seem synonymous at the beginning This article seeks to answer the semantic aspects of these two pairs of words in the verses of the Holy Quran. By referring and paying attention to the lexical books and the historical context of the verses, it became clear that these two pairs of words are each inherently used in the Qur'an in three semantic aspects. What they have in common is the real meaning (lunar calendar) and the virtual meaning (time). And the difference between them is that "Sanah" is used for both lunar and solar calendars and includes the word "Aaam" which is used only for lunar calendars. Also, these two words, according to their use in some verses, are in conflict with each other in one of their semantic aspects. "Sanah" is used for a year in which drought, severe events, and severe divine afflictions have occurred. But "Aaam" is used for a year in which there was a lot of abundance of blessings and comfort in life
