The Qur'an is the holy book of Islam, distinguished by the uniqueness of its structure and the depth of meaning in its words. Each term in the Qur'an conveys a literal message and has layered and profound meanings. One of the terms that merits deeper examination is qadr, which is commonly understood as "destiny" or "fate," whereas in reality, it carries far more complex and nuanced meanings. This study uses a qualitative approach to uncover the contextual meanings of the term qadr in the Qur'an. Data were collected through observation and note-taking techniques, utilizing Mu‘jam al-Mufahras li-Alfāẓ al-Qur’ān al-Karīm as a reference tool to identify relevant verses. Data analysis is based on the contextual theory proposed by Chaer (2012) and ‘Umar (1988), which encompasses four contextual dimensions: linguistic, situational, emotional, and socio-cultural. The findings reveal that qadr in the Qur'an can signify measurement, fixed, glory, empowerment, narrowing, limitation, exaltation, and control. These findings contribute to broadening the semantic understanding of the Qur'an and emphasize the importance of contextual analysis in uncovering the divine message more profoundly. This study also affirms the significance of linguistic approaches in Islamic studies, particularly in interpreting key concepts within the sacred text.References
