Among the miraculous aspects of the Holy Quran, the rhetorical subtleties in the verses of this divine book have long been the focus of scholars and scholars of Quranic sciences. One of the rhetorical topics of the Holy Quran is stylistics, which by taking advantage of the achievements of the science of rhetoric; we investigate the stylistic effects in the Holy Quran. Surah "Ghashiyeh" as one of the clear examples of a systematic language is full of verbal signs, where the harmonious words that create the internal beat of the verses and the intervals of the verses lead to the external music of the verses. In this research, based on linguistic analysis at three phonetic, lexical, and grammatical levels, we discuss the stylistics of Surah Ghashieh. The present research tries to show that it is the linguistic features in the verses of the Holy Quran that cause the change of style in the verses at different levels. Applying repetition techniques; Sajja; Puns, respect for example, and contrast emphasize rhetorical elegance in addition to melodiousness. In fact, these stylistic features make this blessed surah suitable and melodious.
