Abstract

Quranic Trope refers here to any object of comparison used to signify something important, a strange event, a parable, or to explain the meaning of something hitherto unknown to Arabs by dint of analogy (compare and/or contrast) with something else known to them. Therefore, this research is meant to reveal the aesthetic values, expressive features, and diversity of usage of language tools as deployed in the Quranic text. It was put into analysis according to modern and traditional linguistic data in order to reveal the characteristics of the Quranic mode of expression. This is an attempt to achieve an integrated understanding of the Quranic text and interpretation, and show the stylistic and linguistic features inherent in the Quranic context.
