البنيةُ الأسلوبية في (سُورةِ المَاعُونِ) دراسةٌ لسانيّة في ضوءِ الأسلوبيَّة الحديثة

Abstract

This study seeks to analyze the Qur’anic text through the mechanisms and modern tools of linguistic inquiry in order to uncover the expressive and argumentative structure of Surat al-Māʿūn through an integrative stylistic approach encompassing multiple levels, including the phonetic and rhythmic, syntactic, semantic, and argumentative dimensions. The study is grounded in the hypothesis that Surat al-Māʿūn establishes an ethical conception of religion that interrelates faith, worship, and social conduct.

   The research adopts a stylistic methodology that combines the characteristics of classical Arabic rhetoric with the insights of modern text linguistics. It highlights the stylistic features of the surah in order to reveal its syntactic structure, lexical selection, textual cohesion, mechanisms of reference, repetition, and semantic opposition, while also demonstrating how textual standards such as cohesion and coherence are realized within the surah. Furthermore, the study examines the impact of these features on the construction of the overall lexical meaning, particularly in portraying the manifestations of moral and social deviation criticized in the surah, such as denial of religion, hardness of heart, hypocrisy and ostentation, and the withholding of alms and acts of assistance (al-māʿūn).

  The researcher also seeks to demonstrate the precision and aesthetic beauty of Qur’anic expression. The study concludes that Surat al-Māʿūn constitutes a discourse that condemns collective behavior that departs from authentic religious values, relying on condensation, paradox, and argumentation, which renders the surah a unique model of textual integration in both its aesthetic and ethical dimensions.
