Stylistics of the Surah Al-Jathiya

Whoever knows the Arabic language can recognize clearly that the Holy Quran is a literary text with no example in terms of fluency and eloquence. As a result, it influences listeners and reciters because it enjoys stylistic, artistic, and aesthetic specialties. Therefore, it is worth analyzing the text of the Holy Quran to discover its beautiful characteristics and elements. The SurahAl-Jathiyah is one of the most beautiful chapters of the Holy Quran in terms of form and content, starting with the letters ‘Ha Mim’ along with the words ‘Allah’ and ‘Ayaat’ being frequent in it. This research aims to study the SurahAl-Jathiyah (meaning crouching) using a descriptive-analytical approach from a stylistic perspective in terms of three layers of phonics, linguistic construction, and semantics. On the first layer, phonetic features that have higher frequencies play a role in creating musicality and rhythm and make hearts fond and ready for the obedience as well as complementing the meaning. In terms of linguistic construction, through the study of other stylistic features such as the precedence and delay, repetitions, questions, omissions, and definite and indefinite articles, it was shown that the Holy Quran has used stylistic features well in order to beautify the speech and show miracle in its expression. The accuracy in the selection of words, use of synonyms, antonyms, and homonyms were also among other impressive stylistic features of the Holy Quran.
