The present research examines the meaning in the Holy Qur'an via a descriptive-analytical method, tasrif method, and based on words. The findings of the current research suggest three types of tasrif of words: the first type, tasrif of meaning based on the synonyms of a word; The second type, tasrif of a meaning based on the morphological derivation of words; The third type is tasrif of words based on weights and meaning-making styles (case study: Asma al-Husna), for which seven models have been selected. 1. Elative + agent noun. 2. Khair + plural subject noun (masculine plural). 3. Ahsan + subject noun. 4. Min + Af'al al-Tafazol + Min Allah + triple infinitive. 5. Na'am + infinitive 6. Khair 7. Af'al al-Tafzil. The result is that the Holy Qur'an has dealt with meanings in various patterns based on words through the method of tasrif that this type of dealing with meanings has a significant effect on the audience's better and clearer understanding of the Holy Qur'an, and with precision in every verbal and linguistic level, surely a truth of divine truths is better understood.
