Özet: The Creator wants his servants to use the language correctly and to communicate firmly by improving their speaking skills. In particular, He advises giving preference to an honest, genuine, non-offensive style. Among the concepts related to language in the Qur'an, as an adjective, the phrase "true" ["doğru" in Turkish] (59 times in 58 verses) is the most repeated after "infidel" ["kâfir" in Turkish]. It is almost noted that the risk of being an infidel is high for those who are not true. The word “lie” ["yalan" in Turkish] takes the first place in the repetition of the words related to speech skills, and it is emphasized that this behavior is the mother of all evil. Based on the verses in the Qur'an translation we examined, the most frequently used word in relation to communication is “say” ["de ki" in Turkish], and the second is “lie” ["yalan" in Turkish]. On the basis of the surahs, “lie” ["yalan" in Turkish] holds the first place. Being used 290 times in total, this word is used in the most number of surahs (79 different surahs) as well as in 278 verses. In this study, taking the language and communication expressions in Turkish Qur'an into account, the place of communication in the language of the Qur'an and the usage of the phrase lie is determined according to the usage frequency of the phrase “lie” ["yalan" in Turkish].
