Examples of verses of corruption in the Holy Qur’an: An applied grammatical study

Abstract

The importance of this research lies in its being one of the studies that addressed the Holy Qur'an as a fertile field for studying and codifying texts. This prompted me to write about the prevalence of corruption in contemporary societies, especially since Islam has refined its followers and established legal teachings that protect society from corruption and its causes. The researcher adopted a descriptive and analytical approach to describe reality and analyze the phenomena associated with it, in a manner that meets the objectives of the study. The results concluded that the Qur'anic verses contained multiple forms of the word (fatsad) in its grammatical cases. The passive participle (mufasid), the verb (fatsad/yufusid) in its various tenses, and the verbal noun (fasad) were used, while the active participle (fasid) was not used. The study also confirmed that the repetition of these forms reinforces the warning against the danger of corruption in societies, as the Qur'an makes clear that reform and adherence to religion are the source of good, while corruption and turning away from them are the source of evil. In conclusion, the study recommended making the Holy Quran the focus of grammatical, morphological, and rhetorical studies, and benefiting from the grammatical heritage and rhetorical exegesis, as these are scientific treasures that have yet to be fully explored. Praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds, and may God's prayers and peace be upon our Master Muhammad, his family, and his companions.
