- Abstract
This study is not trying to judge God, but doing reinterpretation on values given by humans to the God’s entity. This study aims to identify the meaning of the God’s entity signs in an ontological relation with humans in Quran. This study uses semiotic approach since it is aimed to study the meaning of signs, thus, the historical Quran is referred as a worth field for semiotic analysis. The result pointed that the majority of verses narration which expressed about God’s entity in ontological relation with humans were in the forms of informative sentences. God is the creator of universe called as al-Khaliq, while His creations in forms of universe (macrocosm) and human (microcosm) are called as al-Makhluq. Allah signifier has not only had signified for showing His almightiness as the creator of universe, but also due to His love, Allah created humans and breathed souls at the same time. The finding also implies that by knowing God as the creator, humans must be able to manage nature well as the implementation of His entity.
