Abstract

Verses 6 to 8 of Surah Al-Duha, in the capacity of expressing God's special gifts to the Holy Prophet, have caused many interpretations of these verses by commentators. This diversity and difference arises from the vocabulary used, the structure of the sentences and of course the polysemy of the three verses. Multiple meanings in the verses is a reflection of God's power and wisdom in the selection of words and the arrangement of structures that cause a linguistic unit to have multiple meanings in a single use and in a specific text, and all those meanings can be accepted as God's intention. The purpose of this article is to analyze the interpretation of the sixth to eighth verses of Surah Al-Duha, in the first step, it explains the point of view of the commentators, and then, by analyzing the words used and the structure of the sentences, and examining the interpretive traditions, the appropriateness and agreement of these two in the multiple meanings of the verses proved. This research, which has been carried out with a descriptive and analytical method, comes to the conclusion that interpretive narratives in accordance with the vocabulary and structure of the discussed verses, confirm the possibility of different readings and understanding multiple meanings from them
