Hypothesis in Holy Quran Locution

Abstract

Hypothesis in holy Quran locution means estimating or supposing a relationship among parties. It is to imagine occurrence of an issue, which might never occur unless another issue occurs. Hypothesis is one aspect of Quran locution, which is mentioned in various places in direct and indirect ways. In the direct way, the hypothesis is performed by a device, like the hypothesis in condition, devices as (if), (if only), (indeed if) or (who). In the indirect way, it is mentioned in ways other than those previously referred to. Here, the hypothesis is hinted at through the context, without any definite way. It might be mentioned as a predicate or as a request conveying the meaning of a hypothesis. It is noticeable that among the figurative meanings in the ways of request, hypothesis is not considered a figurative meaning far from the style of imperative. Therefore, we can consider hypothesis among the figurative meanings of the style of imperative
