Abstract

After the wave of modernity that occurred in the curricula, the study of
methodological, methodological, methodological, and curricula that have
established themselves in the modern critical arena.The semiotic approach
in general is the method that deals with the study of signs, and the
American scientist (Pierce) dealt with the sign in a precise context that
depends on the many ramifications and divisions. Iconic, indicative and
symbolic, which the research took as a field of study.In order for the
research to be productive, I decided to choose a blessed sacred text, which
is the Qur’anic text that includes blessed proverbs, trying to reveal the
mechanisms of the semiotic link between the two sides of the proverb.This
study aimed to clarify the type of relations between the signifier and the
signified in the Qur’anic examples and the role of these relations in the
process of understanding and reaching the meaning inherent in the text,
with the help of the narrative books of interpretation narrated from the Ahl
al-Bayt (peace be upon them).The first chapter deals with the symbolic
relationship and its ramifications (a visual symbol, an auditory symbol,
and a mental symbol), and the second chapter deals with the indicative
relationship and its ramifications (a contextual indicator, an implicit
indicator, and an explicit indicator). And an explanation of the latent and
interrelated meanings implied by these relationships that lead us to the true
meaning intended by the Qur’anic proverb, with the help of the
interpretations of the people of the Qur’an, Muhammad and the family of
Muhammad (peace be upon them).
