Aesthetic of Uslub al-Hakim in the Holy Quran (Case Study: the 10 middle ajzā of the Quran)

Uslub al-Hakim is one of the aesthetic elements in literature، based on which the author finds judicious and sage ways to convey what he/she intends under the requirements of context and situation. Although the literal element is also found in al-Badi'' and al- Istifham، it majorly adds to discourse rhetoric and proves the speaker''s eloquence when it is used in semantics and in instances of discourse breaching formal requirements. Employing this artistic technique in the Qur''anic language، which is known for its rhetoric، and its rhetorical feature is one of its linguistics miracles indicates the significate of this problem. The present study is an attempt to prove the rhetoric of the Holy Qur''an through analyzing this device to depict the beauty and part of the aspects of the miracle of the Holy Quran and to deepen the understanding of the divine words by means of expressing mysteries and rhetorical intentions of God. To this end، the study was carried out using an analytical-descriptive method and by giving instances of using the technique، in the middle 10 ajzā of the Holy Qur''an، with statistical representations. Showing the frequency of the technique intended to prove its effectiveness in expressing and picturing the rhetoric of the book and categorizing the technique into the four mentioned dimensions is one of most important characteristics of the present study. Among the reasons for using Uslub al-Hakim has been to counter the opponents of the Prophet (PBUH) who were rejecting the Prophet’s call by giving pretexts to accept the Godhood of the Sublime God and the mission of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
