Rhetorical Sentences and the Essential Importance of Parenthetical Sentences in Quranic Poetry

Abstract

Rhetorical sentences in Quranic poetry play a significant role in their attractive and persuasive impact on listeners and readers. They are characterized by their diverse expression styles and linguistic eloquence. Parenthetical sentences are among the most important rhetorical devices in the Holy Quran, used to highlight arguments and evidence, achieving a rhetorical and persuasive effect. These sentences serve as a presentation of an opposing opinion or a challenge to the idea presented in the previous context, enhancing the internal dialogue within the text and adding depth and appeal. The fundamental essence of parenthetical sentences in Quranic poetry lies in stimulating attention and reflection, guiding the reader to think deeply about the topic, and searching for solutions and answers. The use of these sentences enhances the strength of the argument presented and establishes belief in the idea by challenging opposing opinions and providing a convincing and eloquent response. In this way, parenthetical clauses are an effective tool for constructing argument and persuasion in the Qur'anic text, contributing to readers' immersion in its contemplation and deeper reflection on the content.

They may be long or short, depending on the context and purpose. The Holy Qur'an uses parenthetical clauses in various forms and lengths to enhance dialogue and effectively present arguments.

Some verses in the Qur'an contain long parenthetical clauses that span several consecutive sentences, through which a particular idea is challenged or a specific topic is comprehensively and comprehensively presented.

The function of parenthetical clauses in the Qur'an is usually to direct attention and stimulate contemplation and deep thought, whether these sentences are long or short. Using parenthetical clauses effectively enhances the text's appeal and contributes to its rhetorical impact.
