Abstract

The Noble Quran is considered one of the most influential literary works in the world, not only for its religious significance but also for its formal language and unique style. The use of rhetorical devices is one of the defining features of the Quranic discourse. This research paper explores the different rhetorical devices employed in the Quran, such as repetition, parallelism, metaphor, simile, allegory, irony, and exaggeration. Through a systematic analysis of these devices, we aim to understand how they contribute to the Quran's overall message and their impact on the reader. Studying rhetorical devices in the Quran can help us gain a deeper appreciation for the beauty and power of this text and provide valuable insights into the art of effective communication. The research findings will contribute to the existing literature on the Quran and serve as a resource for scholars and readers interested in the Quran's literary and linguistic aspects.
