Abstract
Examining the meaning of the words in the Quran plays an important and special role in understanding the purpose of God and the precise application of divine commands. The present study has analyzed the word " Savval" in the Quran by using the method of description and analysis. The word " Savval" which, in the dictionary analysis, contains the meaning of beguiling and embellishing, has many semantic fields in common. The use of this word in the Quran warns the audience about it and warns the believers about the possibility of falling into the trap of "Tasvil". This word emphasizes on multiplicity and gradualness in four verses and in the chapter "Tafa'il", it has been used and had a meaningful association with the words "Satan" and "Nafs". Therefore, in order to investigate the semantic fields involved with the word " Savval ", it was investigated its substitutes, which include the words "zayin", "Izlal", "Iqvae", "nazgh" and "vasvasah". In the end, the conclusion was reached that each of the companion and substitute words play a significant role in the semantic range of the word " Savval " and the concept of "Tasvil" in a specific way.
