the Qur’an and to derive its educational implications. The central term of this research, " Faḍiḥah ," appears only once in the Qur’an and signifies the exposure of faults and the complete loss of a person’s social reputation and credibility. Using a descriptive-analytical method and relying on classical lexical and exegetical sources, the study examines the relationship of this key term with six other Qur’anic cognate words: " Izdirā’ " (contempt), " Khizy " (disgrace), " Dhilla " (humiliation), " Ṣaghār " (smallness), " Maskanah " (abjectness), and " Hawān " (lowliness). Findings indicate that these words form a semantic network in which various levels of "Humiliation and Disgrace" can be ranked along an intensity spectrum: " Faḍiḥah and Khizy occupy the strongest level, Hawān and Ṣaghār the intermediate, and Izdirā’, Dhilla , and Maskanah the lower levels." From an educational perspective, this semantic analysis provides a solid foundation for identifying the causes of disgrace (such as arrogance and the spread of immorality) and the strategies to counter it (including self-purification, commanding good, and forbidding bad). The results offer a model for employing lexical analysis in systematically deriving educational concepts from the Qur’an.
