Aesthetics of the jarr prepositions in the Holy Quran from Zamakhshari’s Perspective

Doubtlessly, some part of the Quran’s literary beauty and delicacy lies in its small linguistic components i.e. Zakhakhshari is a scholar who has aesthetic interest in interpreting verses. In this article, we studied the rhetorical functions of jarr prepositions in a number of Quranic verses from Zamakhshari’s perspective and evaluated its value in the beauty of the verses. This evaluation shows that Zamakhshari looks at the literary beauty of the jarr prepositions through the order and compound of verses and focuses on the semantic structure of verses in his aesthetic analysis. With his specific question-and-answer-based method, he looks for the linguistic causes of the prepositions and tries to measure their implication and different meanings regarding the general atmosphere of the verses and in combination with other units of the sentences. He believes that inattention to varieties of these prepositions and their literary delicacies result from tastelessness; and states that his aesthetic interpretation focuses on imagery, semantic plurality, exaggeration and emphasis on the jarr prepositions.
