Abstract

As our Arabic language is marked by its capacity of expression, abundance of words and ‎diversity of meanings, I want in this research to look into one word from the holy Quran which ‎represents the supreme style. This word is "favor" which is mentioned in many places in the ‎holy Quran. It denotes different meanings in one place not to mention its meanings in all ‎places. "Maroof" in the verses that call for maroof bidding, denotes monotheism (to say that ‎there is only one God), and belief in the prophecy of Mohamed (God's blessing and peace be ‎upon him). In other verses concerned with woman it denotes different meanings such as ‎marriage, renewal of marriage and companionship; intimation; giving a just dowry; or ‎expenditure and polite utterance. In other verses of Quran "maroof" denotes good invocation; ‎nice promise to charity and contact; what is intimate; or what is allowed by legislation. All these ‎occur by favor of the Quranic context
