[STYLE OF PREPOSITIONAL AND POSTPOSITIONAL AND DIVERSE MEANINGS OF THE HOLY QURAN]
Abstract
The Holy Quran was revealed in the mother language of the Arabs. The miracle of this book, addressing the native speakers in their own language, is that the words and methods to which the people of Makkah were well aware, the Holy Quran used the same words and styles in such a beautiful manner as the listeners felt dumb before it. Arabic, among other world languages, has a unique status owing to its linguistic and meaning related qualities. One of the characteristics of Arabic language used in the Holy Quran is the style of prepositional and postpositional of words in a sentence element. In any sentence, the prepositional and postpositional styles are adopted to achieve a lexical and semantic advantage. The style of prepositional and postpositional is used in both Arabic prose and poetry. It enables the speaker or writer to precede whatever he wishes for the purpose of meaning or order of importance or chronological order. This style is also used in many verses of the Holy Quran. Whenever the Holy Quran adopts this style of speech, it is not just a coincidence, but there is a strong reason behind it and it has several semantic and lexical impacts and advantages. One aspect of prepositional and postpositional is that sometimes by recognizing this style in a Quranic composition, we get more meaning from a verse and this additional meaning would not conflict with the meaning which is the known meaning of the verse.
Keywords: Holy Quran; miracle; prepositional; postpositional; prose; poetry; chronological order
