Summary of the Book Nonverbal Communication in the Holy Qur’an

Abstract

This summary introduces the book Nonverbal Communication in the Holy Qur’an by highlighting forms of nonverbal communication within the Qur’anic text, including gesture, movement, bodily posture, facial expression, silence, and sensory signs. It begins from the importance of nonverbal communication in understanding human behavior and interpreting interpersonal relations, then connects this field to Qur’anic discourse and its scenes, signs, and implications that go beyond verbal expression. The material is significant in drawing attention to the possibility of reading the Qur’anic text through communicative and semiotic perspectives, emphasizing that meaning is not produced by words alone but also by a broad network of signs, contexts, and gestures.
