Semantics in time (historical) is one of the lexical semantic methods in the holy texts, which by identifying the components of the word, examines the specific concept throughout history and shows its evolutions, ups and downs. The concept of Satan has changed throughout history and has a long-standing connection with the holy texts. The use of the word "devil" in Pishatohid is related to concepts such as evil, jinn, evil spirits, which are intertwined with the function of evil and filth. In the Abrahamic religions of Christianity, Judaism and Islam, Satan was recognized as a creature from the fallen divine position. The lexical application of this concept in the holy texts, with various characteristics of intelligent, experimental, benevolent, concrete and abstract dual status, indicates the interaction of the believers of these texts with heterogeneous civilizations and its metamorphosis. In the meantime, the Qur'an tells a special meaning of the devil with a systematic narrative in a special discourse. This research with a descriptive-analytical method, based on the application of action, expresses the transformation of the concept of Satan in the narration of the Torah, the Bible and the Holy Quran with a historical method (in time).

This study explores the intertextual relationships and conceptual chaining present in the punishment and mercy narratives of the four stories in Surah al-Naml. The primary objective is to identify and analyze the conceptual and semantic links that unify the stories within this chapter of the Quran. Employing a qualitative approach, the research utilizes content analysis and thematic analysis to investigate the narratives’ conceptual and textual connections at both micro and macro levels. The data comprises the verses related to the four stories in Surah al-Naml, analyzed through a comparative framework. Initially, the study defines key concepts such as intertextuality and conceptual chaining, followed by a discussion of the relevant theoretical background. The comparative analysis reveals robust intertextual links and intricate conceptual chains that enhance the coherence and semantic structure of the Surah. The findings demonstrate that these interrelations not only facilitate a deeper understanding of the narratives’ meanings but also contribute to a more accurate and comprehensive interpretation of the chapter’s themes. This aligns with the objectives of Surah al-Naml, which are to admonish and warn its audience. The research underscores the significance of examining intertextual relationships and conceptual chaining in Quranic studies, suggesting that such approaches can uncover new semantic and interpretive dimensions in religious texts. Furthermore, the study’s findings offer potential advancements in educational methodologies and Quranic exegesis, providing valuable insights for scholars and commentators.
