The Semantic Analysis of Taqwa in " Nahj al-Balagha

Following the Holy Quran، the term “Taqwa” in “Nahj al Balagha” is one of the key words which can play a determining role in training mankind. One of the important features of the term “Taqwa” in the semantic schema is the schema of semantic networks of this term. It is possible to arrive at new horizons in the semantic levels of “Taqwa” by linguistic analysis of every text. A comparison of the Quranic semantic features and the same features in “Nahj al-Balagha” opens new areas for researchers. In this paper، I have linguistically investigated the three levels of common people’s “Taqwa”، elite’s “Taqwa”، and pure elite’s “Taqwa”. Discovering the relationship between “Taqwa” as an important key term and its related terminology in a synonymous field is very significant for those who want to portray the mechanism of compiling “Taqwa”. In both the Koran and Nahj al-Balagha، the term “Taqwa” is the most important key word for human being’s virtue.
