The Structural and Semantic Role of "RAAYA" in the Holy Qur’an in the Change of Wrong Perceptions

One of the most important missions of the scriptures is to change and correct the thoughts and ideas of human beings. The Holy Qur’an, as the most comprehensive and complete revelatory text, in many of its divine teachings has criticized many wrong human thoughts and illusions. It has tried  with various words, phrases, and theological and literary structures to change such false assumptions and break imaginary fantasies which over time and the years (for various reasons) contrary to the realities of the universe have been formed in the minds and have been the cause of cruelty and misery of human beings. Suchstructures and terms, while diverse, each has a specific mission and task to refine ideas. In this article, using the method of meaning recognition and structural and content analysis, the family of the conceptual word "RAAYA" has been reviewed and some results have been obtained, the most important of which is identifying the types of "Alam Tarr, Alam Yar, Aratiyat, Aratim, Awwala Yarun, Alam Tarwa, Hal Tari, and Lev Tari". In 98% of these verses, an attempt to change in thought is done by using indirect teaching  in which 71% has been  through using  expressions by the Prophet of Islam (PBUH). The tone and type of dialect in this group of verses and the verses similar to them in 87% of cases is a critical and severely reprimanded dialect. Itt seems that the misguided and disobedient addressees of such verses, who are generally polytheists and infidels, insisted on their misconceptions and ignorantly followed the habits of their ancestors. Thus, the Holy Qur'an, with a threatening tone, seeks to be more influential and to create awareness in their minds. In general, the essence of the issues raised in such verses is very clear to people, does not require special and complex knowledge, and is understandable; however, although the truth is obvious, they have been misled and deluded.
