Yahyâ b. Ziyâd el-Ferrâ’nın “Ma‘âni’l-Kur’ân” Adlı Eserinde Dil-Kültür İlişkisi
Language-Culture Relationship in Philological Interpretation Tidled “Ma‘âni’l-Qur‘ân” of Yahya b. Ziyad al-Farra

Summary/Abstract: As a result of the expansion of the Islamic geography, the acquaintance of non-Arab communities with the religion of Islam brought some problems with it. Among these problems, the concern of misunderstanding the Quran is at the top. The existence of many rumors showing that language mistakes caused by not being able to master Arabic are spread to the verses confirms this. Therefore, activities related to language have continued uninterruptedly since the second half of the first century of Hijri Calendar. Among these activities, there are studies dealing with the style of the Quran, the evidence and pronunciation of the words in the verses, the inner integrity of the sentences and their philological analysis. These studies, along with the creation of Arabic grammar and the emergence of some grammar schools, continued more systematically until the end of the fourth century of Hijri Calendar, using the titles "Ma'âni'l-Qur'ân" and "I'râbu'l-Qur'ân. There is also Yahya b. Ziyad al-Farra (d. 207/822) among the scholars who wrote works using the title "Ma‘âni'l-Ḳur'ân". In the mentioned work, many individual evaluations of Ferrâ during the lugavî (philological) analyzes, which can be an example of the language-culture relationship, especially in the direction of the siyga ( morpheme) and polymorphism of words, are encountered. His emphasis on semantic analyzes, which are accepted by Arab society even in a certain way, after giving place to various opinions displayed around some verses, can also be evaluated as that the commentators should benefit from the culture of the period in order to prevent an interpretation other than the intended verses with incomprehensible verses. In this respect, it is important to keep a wide range of scientific authorities and disciplines to be applied when interpreting and evaluating some verses in order to understand the messages offered by the Quran to humanity in the most accurate way.
