This study aims to conduct a comparative and semantic analysis of the concepts "Taraf" (luxury/excess), "Raghad" (abundance), "Sa'ah" (expansiveness), and "Yusr" (ease) in the Holy Quran and to clarify the distinct semantic domain of each. The research employs a descriptive-analytical method, relying on lexical sources and interpretive data. The findings indicate that although these terms share the semantic field of "prosperity" or "enjoyment of blessings," they are not complete synonyms, and each carries a specific connotation: "Raghad" refers to the abundance and pleasantness of material blessings without an inherent evaluative judgment; "Taraf," with a negative connotation, denotes excess in the enjoyment of blessings, leading to transgression and heedlessness; "Yusr" signifies ease and comfort; and "Sa'ah," as the most general concept, denotes expansion and breadth in both material and spiritual realms. The final conclusion reveals that the Quran, through this precise differentiation, both emphasizes the legitimacy of enjoying blessings ("Raghad") and, by warning against its deviation from moderation into "Taraf," presents a comprehensive ethical framework for managing blessings. "Yusr" signifies the ease and comfort in attaining blessings, and ultimately, "Sa'ah," as the desired ultimate state, encompasses expansiveness in all spheres of life.
