Qualitative analysis of semantic network "power"; An attempt to understand the pattern of "soft power" in the Holy Qur'an

One of the requirements of the Islamic religion is to receive the Holy Qur'an's viewpoint in the face of new issues, but before this it is important and necessary to address the "proper research method" for discovering and identifying the verses associated with that subject and is a major step in interdisciplinary research in the field of Islamic sciences. Among the new theories proposed in recent times, is the issue of "soft power" and its components and resources in human societies. Although this theory was originally proposed by Western scholars, it has always been questioned whether the Holy Qur'an has a theoretical background? And by which method can the verses be accessed in this field? And finally, how and on what basis can a valid theory be discovered without entering the domain of interpretation into a vote? In this paper, in an interdisciplinary approach, using methods of research "structural semantics" and "qualitative content analysis", the semantic network of the concept of "power" has been identified, including the words of the companion and the successor in the Holy Qur'an, then by qualitative analysis Their themes and categorization of the contents of the content analysis tables, components and components of the theory of soft power from the perspective of the Holy Qur'an are extracted.
