Abstract
Introduction In linguistic and semantic studies, context is recognized as the backdrop and framework that determines the precise meaning of words and sentences.This research has been conducted with a descriptive-analytical approach and a library-based method. The required data was collected through a comprehensive search of the verses of the Holy Quran using authoritative lexical sources (such as Mu'jam Maqāyīs al-Lughah by Ibn Fāris ) and exegetical sources (such as Majma' al-Bayan, al-Mizan, al-Kashshaf).The analysis process was as follows: first, the literal and technical meaning of the story Prophet Abraham from the fire. Then, by studying all the verses containing this word, its different semantic aspects were extracted and categorized. In the next step, by analyzing the linguistic context of the verses, Results Analysis of Three Stages of Abraham’s Story by Linguistic Context Stage 1: Denial of Idolatry Verses from Al-An’am (6:78) and Az-Zukhruf (43:26) both depict Abraham's rejection of idolatry using terms derived from "برأ" (to disassociate). In Al-An’am, "إنی بریء مما تشرکون" uses an adjective form indicating ongoing, stable disassociation; the tone is rational and convincing, fitting the context of Abraham’s logical arguments against idol worship. The adjacent verbs reflect "shirk" (associating partners), targeting the core belief of polytheism
