Historical and Descriptive Semantics of " Sho oub" in the Holy Quran

Language and words stem from cultures, traditions, and specific system of life in each society. Most Koranic words have gained new meanings after passing through ignorant ideology and entering into Koranic ideologies. It is necessary for one to know the semantic changes of those words which have been referred to in developing movement as well as mental, cultural, and social processes. One of these words is “Sho’oub”, a word by which “Sho’oubiyah Movement” has affected the cultural and social situations in Abbasi Period. The current study has analyzed the word “Sho’oub” based on historical and descriptive semantics to recognize Sho’oubiyah, concluding that the singular form of this word, i.e. “Sha’b” enjoys such concepts as “split, separation, dispersion” whereas its plural form enjoys such concepts as “distributed groups=death” in the Ignorant Period. In the Holy Quran, it has the opposite concept of distributed groups. In the following centuries, it referred to political issues dependent on racism and affected by discursive thoughts in the concept of non-Arab nations especially Iranian one.
