Abstract


This research addresses the issue of grammatical orientation of the past and present tense verbs and its impact on meaning, taking the book Tqashir al-Tafsir as an applied model for studying the relationship between grammatical structure and significance in interpreting the Qur’anic text. The research aims to reveal the aspects of grammatical guidance that the author addressed in past and present tense verbs, and to demonstrate the effect of the differences in these aspects in directing the meaning, its multiplicity, and its weighting according to the context. The research adopted the descriptive analytical method, based on tracking the explanatory and grammatical evidence in the book, and analyzing it in light of the grammatical and semantic rules. The research showed that grammatical guidance effectively contributes to highlighting temporal connotations, such as the connotation of fulfillment, continuation, renewal, and approximation. It also affects the expansion or specification of meaning, and in clarifying the subtle differences between the past and present tense forms in the Qur’anic context. It also became clear that the author of Qashqir al-Tafsir did not stop at the limits of formal parsing, but rather went beyond that to link grammatical guidance to the Qur’anic context, while benefiting from the differences in readings and sayings of grammarians, which reflects a precise awareness of the impact of grammar on interpretive understanding and derivation of meanings.
