چکیده
Some researchers consider the Quranic narrative of Abraham's dream of sacrificing his son, and its Torah pre-text, as evidence of the possibility of God issuing commands that contradict ethics. The Torah narrative explicitly states the command to sacrifice, but such explicitness is absent in the Quranic narrative. The aim of the semiotic analysis of the Quranic narrative is to uncover the hidden and implicit meanings of the text in order to decode the command that Abraham was tasked with through the dream. In this method, the Quranic narrative is analyzed from the perspectives of "Trans-textuality," "Intertextuality," "Hyper-textuality," "Archi-textuality," "Para-textuality," and "Intra-textuality." The semiotic analysis of this Quranic narrative from the perspective of "Intertextuality" shows that its partial presence with the Torah pre-text is close to zero. This analysis also shows that the Quranic narrative is a transformation of the Torah pre-text and, unlike it, has the significant addition of Abraham's dream and does not indicate a command to sacrifice. The analysis of the Quranic narrative from the perspective of Para-textuality and Intra-textuality shows that Abraham was commanded to confirm the interpretation of his dream, that is, to prove that he believed that the knife would not cut his son's throat with God's permission.

چکیده [English]
According to some researchers, the Quranic narration of the dream of the slaughter of Abraham's son and its Torah Ohypotext are proof of the possibility of God issuing orders that are contrary to morality. The command to sacrifice is explicitly stated in the Torah narration, but there is no such explicit statement in the Quranic narration. The aim of semiotic analysis of the Quranic narration is to discover the implicit meanings of its text in order to decipher the command that Abraham was instructed to carry out through a dream. In this method, the Qur'anic narration is analyzed from the perspective of "Metatextuality", "Intertextuality", "Hypotextuality", "Arcitextuality", "Paratextuality" and "Interatextuality". Semiotic analysis of this Quranic narration from the perspective of "Intertextuality" shows that this narration is a transformation of the Torah Ohypotext and, contrary to it, it has the important addition of Abraham's dream and it does not imply the commandment to sacrifice. The analysis of this Qur'anic narration from the perspective of "Paratextuality" and "Interatextuality" shows that Abraham was responsible for confirming the interpretation of his dream, that is, to prove that he has faith that a knife will not cut the throat of his son by God's permission.
