-Abstract
El-Sharif (2011: 78-9) declares that in the case of religious discourse, recognizing the accurate meaning of the message is important because the followers then realize that they are obeying the commands of their religion correctly. The misinterpretation of the religious message can lead the believer to err, and errors can lead to harmful consequences for the believer and his society. Furthermore, some mistakes which are performed because of misunderstanding the religious message are considered sins.
So this research investigates the truth conditional content of the meanings of some verses of the Holy Qur'an. It also identifies the explicit content and the implicit content using the available contextual and inferential resources and using the relevance – theoretic comprehension strategy to reach the intended interpretation of some meanings of the verses. Views surveyed include the explicature/implicature distinction developed within the cognitively-based relevance theory approach to utterance interpretation are used to interpret some of the verses of the Holy Qur'an
