“…Whereas the former is concerned with the local level of discourse, the latter encompasses the global one. Both levels should be investigated thoroughly to infer the intended meaning of words in a discourse (see also Taha et al 2013, Taha et al 2014, and Altakhaineh et al 2014.…”

The aim of the present study was to show how intertextuality could be a viable approach to determine the intended meaning of words in religious texts such as the Holy Quran. In order to do just this, the researcher selected two Quranic words to be the data of the study. These were "الخشية"(al- xshiah) and الخوف (al-xawf). The study argues that the former effected internally (i.e. stemming from the human being himself/herself), but "الخوف"(al-xawf) is created by either an internal or external force (i.e. stemming from the human being himself/herself or from external factors). Furthermore, "الخوف" (al-xawf) reflects a real feeling of panic, which causes the heart to pump quickly, butالخشية" "(al-xshiah) does not reflect such a feeling. Finally, we dare to make the claim that who does not fear يخاف""(yaxaf) Allah will be punished but who does not يخشى" "(yaxsha)Allah will not be punished.

Quite interestingly, the presence of a rhetorical anaphora or the repetition of the phrase " َ Ž ‫َبَ‬ _ ُ ‫ﱠ‬ ‫ﷲ‬ £ َ e َ S yِ ' ‫ﱠ‬ pِ [ Q " (i.e., "And Allah citeth an example for those") at the opening of the two successive verses 10 and 11 emphatically asserts the no-gender-exception message about the assembly of believers or non-believers.…”

According to Qur'an, God's divine merit-demerit system never allows for any biased treatment towards men or women. Dignity instead is what God has granted on all children of Adam. The present article, hence, sought to trace back women's dignity and equality to the discourse of Qur'an working on a sample of 11 Surahs. The discourse analysis was based on combinatory perspectives of text linguistics, pragmatics, and rhetoric. The results revealed that the most salient marked discoursal devices of women's equality and dignity were the techniques such as parallelism, anaphoric repetitions, juxtaposition of the believers' attributes, emphatic negative propositions. In addition, the sometimes situated hierarchical pattern of relationship between men and women were not indicative of any unfair evaluation of either gender. Instead, the yardstick was the amount of the believers' efforts in the way of God's "forgiveness and reward".

“…The use of honorifics implies that any request by the inflected party will be answered (see, Taha et al, 2013;Al-Jarrah et al, 2015;, among many others, for further discussion on how words are used to implicate a hidden message, and Altakhaineh et al (2014) for a different approach)…”

The data consisted of forty provisional agreement documents on car accidents occasions, three video-recorded interactions and information collected via personal contacts with twelve interlocutors.
