Semantic science in the search for meaning has a profound relationship with translation science and is one of the methods to review and criticize translation. The present article is an attempt to study the semantic frames of the verb “Absara” (beholding) in the Quranic verses of the Holy Quran and their Persian translation according to the Fillmore's semantic meanings theory (Ansarian, Fooladvand, Khorramshahi & Makarem shirazi). In the Quranic examples under research, the verb “Absara” (beholding) has a visual-perceptual semantic frame as the central semantic frame and six cognitive formats of seeing, looking, understanding, thinking, illuminating, and discerning that its primary basis is seeing with eyes on the head. The outcome of the research shows that the translators were unanimous in three semantic formats (seeing, illuminating & looking) and paid attention to the context of the verse in which the verb is used. But in the semantic format of "understanding" and "discerning," none of them carefully considered the context of the verse. And only Khorramshahi translated correctly the semantic form of thinking based on Syntagmatic Relationships.
