Father-Son Conversation in Quran from a Rhetorical Perspective

The style of conversation has been used as one of the most prominent modes of expression and a wise method for communicating and inviting people in Islam and its propaganda. Each conversation- as a linguistic composition- has rhetorical, lexical and style features and secrets that need to be analyzed. One example of these conversations is the father-child conversation. Their literary and rhetorical styles are such beauties that they have both constructive educational effects and have valuable literary-rhetorical ideas and patterns.

 The purpose of  this essay is providing a beautiful reading of the dialogue between father and child in Quran.

The present study is a qualitative study using analytical-descriptive method based on inferential method.

It indicates that theological issues have been expressed in the conversations with the use of theology and the anatomical issues with the wisdom style and the obscene acts with the metaphor and the resurrection and the problem of the resurrection with the metaphorical language and sometimes the inquisitive style.

In the Quranic dialogues, generally speaking, children spoke to their fathers with the view of bowing down and preserving the dignity of their father, which is ethical, and thus being infidels. All are evident, which can be highlighted as a role model in society. In cases where the fathers addressed their children, the rhetoric expressing affection and affection would flow into the language, even though the child was misguided.
