Para phrasing in the Qur an

«Paraphrasing» means expressing the deep meaning and thrust without using the exact words when we want to clarify an idea or occurrence. Sometimes، the Qur’an talks about certain people using different expressions to describe a particular event or introduces an account about an event from different perspectives. The evidence proving this phenomenon in the Qur’an is as follows: non-Arab identity of some of the people cited in the Qur’an; the miracle in Qur’an and its being unique، the use of different expressions in describing an event or relating a saying; observing the distances between different verses and conveying inner meaning of the Qur’an. Since the narrator، i. e.، the Most High God، has a full knowledge of linguistic features، the meaning is conveyed accurately and the expressions are used in such a way that the real intent of the speaker is eloquently and fully expressed. The belief in the existence of paraphrasing has some effects on Islamic sciences including fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence)، the Qur’an commentary، and Qur’anic sciences. For example، paraphrasing can be used in such cases، like narrating، rebutting the fallacious claim that the Qur’an is disharmonious in its narrations and defending the fact that the language of the Qur’an reflects the reality. The research method is descriptive-analytical.
