The Qur’anic history and its refutation of the narrative history (the narration of killing of the Prophet Yahya) as a model

Abstract

The purpose of using words and putting them in useful and expressive sentences is to convey an idea to other persons without any confusion, misunderstanding, or without any change in the intended meaning of those words. The Holy Qur'an is directed for all generations, times, and places till the day of resurrection. So, the concepts of the same word are supposed to be changed over times to be one word for multiple information and concepts, but we see the accuracy and figurative language of the Qur'anic pronunciation by using words with extreme accuracy so it was called (Clear Verses). This accuracy is to convey very clear perceptions to all servants of God. The problem is that the interpreter or linguist, when he comes to define the concept of the Qur'anic word he is affected by the narrations about this word and does not pay attention to the fact that the Qur’anic word is alive until the day of resurrection, it is not an instantaneous term or for a certain stage or event. This is what we see in the understanding of the word "dies" in the verse (The day that he dies, and the day that he will be raised up to life again).

The research does not deal with the topic linguistically as it appears, but grammar is used to reach the idea that the verb in present form moves between different tenses according to the prefixes and suffixes and the presence of the verbal evidences in the sentence as well, which is important in understanding the verb in present form. When we read the verse (the day that he dies…) the meaning that comes to mind indicates that this person, Prophet Yahya (peace be upon him) is not dead yet, but when we read the books of interpretation, history and language, we find that they agree that the Prophet Yahya (pbuh) was killed in the most brutally way and this is contrary to what God narrated through his Prophet Mohammed (pbuh), as well as contrary to the logic of Qur'an.

This research attempts to prove, through the Qur'an, that the Prophet Yahya (pbuh) is alive considering that the Holy Qur'an is the pole which language revolves around.
