Abstract:

The study aims to uncover the instances of deviation and their rhetorical secrets by examining a stylistic phenomenon in the Qur'anic structure, with a focus on selected verses from Juz al-Ahqaf. The deviation in the Qur'anic text surprises the reader, as it deviates from the expected structure based on known Arabic rules. The researchers used a descriptive-analytical approach to study the phenomenon of deviation in the Qur'an, specifically in Juz al-Ahqaf, using selected examples. The scientific value of this study lies in its approach to exploring the depths of the Qur'anic text, revealing its rhetorical secrets, and analyzing their impact on the Qur'anic context, with a focus on interpreting meanings and guiding the reader toward the most accurate understanding. The study concluded that the purpose of deviation is not merely for aesthetic and artistic value, but to reveal the subtle rhetorical nuances that the Qur'anic text embodies.
