Kur’ân’da K-D-R Kökünün Allah’ın Dışındaki Varlıklara İsnad Edildiği Âyetlerin Anlam Çerçevesi
The Semantic Framework of the Quranic Verses in which the Root K-D-R is Attributed to Beings Other Than Allah

Summary/Abstract: One of the accurate means of conveying the message of the Qurʾān to pe ople is to examine the way in which a concept in the Qurʾān is dealt with in the whole verses. In this context, Arabic poetry is used to determine the pre-Qurʾānic meaning of the concept and to reveal the new meaning it acquired with the revelation of the Qurʾān. The couplets in Jāhiliyya poetry in which the concept occurs are analyzed semantically to determine its meaning. The root 'q-d-r' appears in the Qurʾān mostly in relation to the attributes and actions of Allah. In the present study, 18 verses in which the concept is used in addition to these verses have been analysed , and firstly, it has been determined examples from Arabic dictionaries and Arabic poetry that the word has root meanings such as limit, amount, measure, value, strength; and when used with the “alā” preposition (harf al-jarr), limited spending, narrowing of sustenance, ability to afford, and seizing. Then, the usage of the root in the Qurʾān verses was discussed and it was determined that it has various meanings in accordance with its root meaning such as limit, amount, strength, limited means of livelihood, seizing and punishing, measuring and deciding about something, fate and quantity. Moreover, in some verses express that it is expressed that it is very wrong for people to be deceived by the blessings and ornaments of the world and to think that they have power, and the disappointment of those who possess these things when they lose them unexpectedly when they do not act in accordance with Allah's commands. The hopelessness and helplessness that come with this disappointment also causes damage to a person's personality. It is emphasised that in the face of natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods and storms that people are exposed to from time to time material means, technical equipment, physical tools and equipment are useless and that people should live their lives being aware of their helplessness in the face of the power of Allah, the absolute ruler of the universe, and that they should feel dependent on Allah in every respect.
