Abstract

The root “Shara’a” appeared five times in Qur’an in the four forms: (SHIREA), (SHURRAE), (SHARAE), (SHARIEA). The study examined these four morphological structures; To clarify its significance in its Qur’anic context, the study problem is that this root was not singled out in a scientific study that studies its semantic additions to the linguistic context in Quran. The study followed the inductive analytical approach. suitability for the purposes of the study. The study was divided into an introduction, a preface, and four sections: the preface included the study terms and procedural definitions. The first topic studied the “SHIREA” formula, the second studied “SHURRAE”, the third studied “SHARAE”, and the fourth studied “SHARIEA”. The most important of study results is that the formula “SHURRAE” is the plural of many broken plurals, based on the morphological formula of (verb). It is a formula that indicates the apparent movement and the multiplication of doing the act, and the Arabic language always uses this formula to embody the act before the eyes. The morphological formula “SHARIEA” may be a noun object or an exaggerated form. “SHIREA” word can be used to any road, but “SHARIEA” word is only used to a specific road.
