Abstract

The word "Seddiqah" is one of the words which is used in verse75 of Surah Ma'idah. The commentators are divided into three groups regarding the interpretation of the verse and the word "Seddiqah": Some did not interpret the mentioned verse at all; Another group, despite the interpretation of the verse, have passed the lexical expansion of "Seddiqah"; But the third category is commentators, who have interpreted the word in question according to their interpretative opinion confirming, authentic confirming, honest(=truthful) and pious are the meanings that have been provided by the commentators in the interpretation of this word. In addition to the interpretive sources, the word "Seddiqah" has been contested by Persian and English translators and they have also differed in the translation of this word. The current research, which was organized with the library method and descriptive-analytical approach, has considered the reason for the error of commentators and translators in presenting the meaning of this word to be ambiguous; Finally, the preferred interpretive meaning for this word, "confirmer of the believer" is proposed.
