The blessed Surah Al-Buruj, a Meccan Surah, is a divine literary masterpiece, notable for its cohesive structure and decisive, eloquent expression. This study meticulously examines its stylistic features using a descriptive-analytical approach grounded in stylistic theory. The main goal is to identify prominent stylistic elements across linguistic levels and explain their role in creating textual coherence. It also aims to show how these elements effectively convey the Surah's key messages, like the destinies of believers and disbelievers, God's absolute power, and its profound impact on the audience.
Analyzing linguistic, literary, and intellectual layers, this article highlights the central role of saj' at the phonological level, creating strong melody and rhythm. At the lexical level, it explores the precise choice of vocabulary and the emotional and pictorial connotations of key words. Syntactic analysis then demonstrates how short, impactful sentences and emphatic particles convey the message's decisiveness. In the literary layer, the study analyzes rhetorical devices like kinayah, majāz, īghāl and murā'āt al-nazīr for their role in deepening meaning.
Findings show Surah Al-Buruj's style is utterly cohesive, with all linguistic and literary elements contributing to a balanced, decisive, and impactful expression. This style not only clarifies the Surah's messages but also evokes fear and hope, inviting the audience to contemplation and truth. This research deepens understanding of the Qur'an's rhetorical inimitability (i'jaz al-bayani) in this Surah and opens new avenues for stylistic research in other literary texts.
