Meaning, Concept and Examples

Dear Class mates

In the first three lesson we are to study the inter-relations between Meaning, Concept and examples

in a so-called triangular form and try to go back and forth between them.

we should start by their definition:

1. Meaning: A fact which is unbounded and unlimited

2. Concept: The understanding of every individual from the meaning(receiver-based)

3. Example: An example which is consistent to the concept and broadens its meaning

we can draw the following triangle on their relations:

Meaning-Concept: By the process of Tadabbor we are trying to make our concepts closer to the meaning

or in other words moving from limited understanding(according to ourselves) to unlimited facts.

Meaning-Example: God is the only example exist and the meanings owe their existence to God, and furthermore

the examples are derived from the meanings!

Concept-Example: Examples help us to understand the concept more and in detail so it makes the concept reachable

and also from studying examples we get to know a concept. This part is the most important part of this lesson.

So in each surah we are to see examples along with concepts and with the aid of Tadabbor we are able to get close to

the meaning or the truth.
