The theory of "example" is one of the important theories in cognitive semantics, which is considered one of the results of the issue of "categorization". By using this theory, one of the effective semantic tools can be obtained for the analysis of words of close meaning in different contexts of the Qur'an; According to this theory, every word has a central state or a prototype that semantically develops in a network or in different contexts and is related to that central and prototype meaning. To achieve the divine meaning and conceptualization, we first need a prototype meaning, then a semantic network; by the prototype meaning, the material or main meaning of the words is obtained, and by the semantic network, the spiritual or secondary meaning is obtained. Accordingly, the present article tries to extract the central meaning of doing work in the semantic network and coherent structure of the Qur'an by applying the prototype theory and relying on the analytical descriptive method. The result of this research shows that the words "F’el", "Amal" and "Son’a" are the most used for doing work in the Quranic structure. These three words not only do not have the same meaning, but none of them can be used interchangeably. In general, the word "F’el" in divine conceptualization is used to do something that is small, or quick and transitory, or without a plan. For this reason, to describe God's work that is done quickly, or to explain that the main influencer to do any work depends on his, or to mention the work of the believers who rush to do the work and do not give up the smallest good deeds and quickly leave the situation of sin, He used the word "F’el". The word "Amal" refers to an action that is continuous and with awareness, free will and intention. For this reason, God's reward for the eternal happiness or unhappiness of man is given to the actions that are done continuously, which is expressed by the word "Amal". The word "Son’a" means to do something that is done with skill and cleverness.
