Abstract

One of the pleasant features of the language of the Quran is its unique and meaningful vocabulary arrangement, which indicates a precise order. This organized structure has long captivated the minds of many Quranic interpreters and scholars, leading to the discovery of its linguistic and literary characteristics. Fadel Saleh Al-Samarra'i is one of the researchers who has endeavored to analyze and examine this matter in his numerous Quranic works. He evaluates the linguistic and artistic interactions present in the construction of the verses with his linguistic expertise and assesses them with a rational approach. In his perspective, the rhetorical function and aesthetic role are intertwined with the grammatical function of speech, where even a seemingly small stylistic change serves to convey a specific volume of meaning. This current research, based on a descriptive-analytical method, aims to explore Samarra'i's approach to analyzing the literary aspects of Quranic verses in the book "Ala Tariq Al-Tafsir Al-Bayani," focusing on the semantic function of vocabulary arrangement in the chapter "The Prophets." This study demonstrates Samarra'i's attention to the contextual depth, intricate construction, inter-textual relationships, and special considerations of the verses' meanings. Alongside analyzing the arrangement and hierarchy of words in the verses of the chapter "The Prophets" and uncovering their implications, he compares the linguistic structures of some verses in this chapter with similar verses elsewhere, considering the context and position of this chapter as the basis for all distinctions.
