Abstract

The research aims to introduce implication, explain its types, point out its benefits, mention its applications according to Al-Hafiz Ibn Katheer, and review how he used it in his interpretation of the words of the Holy Qur’an. This research used the method of induction and analysis, by collecting the applications of implication that Ibn Kathir mentioned in his interpretation, studying them, and. comparing them with the sayings of the scholars. The study was divided into an introduction and three sections. The first section included an introduction to Ibn Kathir and his interpretation. The second section presented a definition to implication, its types, and its benefits. The third section investigated the applications of implication in the interpretation of Ibn Kathir. The study concluded with the results reached by the researcher, the most important of which are: 1- Implication is one of the tools for revealing and clarifying the meanings of the Qur’an, and extracting its wisdom and rulings. 2- Ibn Kathir, in the chapter on names and particles, has used it in its various types, in agreement with a number of scholars. 3- The term: “implication between prepositions” is the same as the term: “alternation among prepositions”; there is no difference. Based on the results, the researchers presented a number of recommendations.
