Abstract
Each text has a style and can be examined. The Qur'an, as a divine and glorious text, can be studied and analyzed from various aspects, especially stylistics. Therefore, in this article, a descriptive-analytical method has been tried to analyze the phonetic, lexical, and syntactic structure of Surah Al-Balad based on stylistic principles. At the phonetic level, this surah has a kind of musical harmony and balance that is completely in line with the meaning and concept of the surah. This proportion, even in the choice of words and their specific structure, as well as in the use of special syntactic structures, expresses the worldview of its creator, that all these levels flow in a space of multiple meanings, as the beginning of the surah confirms. The ambiguity in words such as "father, son, and najdin" has caused different views in this surah, which can be partially analyzed and interpreted in connection with the general structure of the surah. On the other hand, lexical structure indicates the weight of "Mafalaton" in line with the certainty of meaning, emphasis, and exaggeration. Such choices, from the very beginning and with a special style, makes the audience think and think which in fact deepens and emphasizes the style of this surah indirectly and secretly by using the initial and different structure (La Oqsmo/ I do swear) and lexical ambiguity and expresses the miracle of the Qur'an.
