Abstract:
The body has codes which can sometimes be deciphered and sometimes cannot depending on the nature of the communication between the sender and the receiver and the message type. The researcher chose the sample of his study from the Holy Qura'n using a semiotic model which is the most suitable for analyzing Qur'anic texts.The reason behind choosing body is its expressive power which makes it a language not less important than the spoken language.The aim of the study is to explore : 1.the reason behind Allah's choice of body signs and adding them to Himself.2.the impact of body movements on the psychological, social and cultural dimensions of communication whether positively or negatively.3.the attempt to identify the nearest interpretation to the essence of the text following the contexts in which the body signs are mentioned. 4. identify the controversy over the ternary relationship(Allah, Man and the universe). The study is expected to answer the questions related to body and its relationship to Allah and the universe in attempt to fill in the gap in understanding the interrelationship between the triplex of existence (God, Man and nature) The dissertation falls into four chapters headed by an introduction. The first chapter is a literature review about semiotics and the body.Chapter two discusses the body signs used to describe the Almighty Allah and the reason for using body icons in the description of Allah to pinpoint the connection between Man and Allah.The third chapter is dedicated to body in two ways : the first concerns the dialogue of the human body with itself; the second deals with the dialogue of the body with the other to explore the implication of the expressive capacity of the body.The fourth chapter deals with the attempt to realize the nature of the relationship between the body and nature as ground, plant and clothing and the researcher has also attempted to answer the question about the impact of nature on the body with regard to form and meaning.Finally, the study ends with a conclusion pointing out the researcher's findings.
