Abstract

Abstract:
Rhetoric scholars and enthusiasts of miracles of Quranic expressions have always been seeking to elicit semantic delicacies in the Quran by utilizing the latest achievements of linguistic sciences. Similar verses of the Quran, which scholars believe contain semantic development, are among the arguments of opponents of literary miracles. This article, by using a descriptive-analytical method, aims to study the viewpoint and style of Fazel Saleh Alsamerai (an Iraqi scholar) in rejecting doubts over the miracles by relying on Quranic Stories. He has applied the two sciences of rhetoric and syntax in explaining his views and has justified similar verses. Studying the story of Moses (PBUH) in two books of Quranic Interpretation and Lamesat Bayaniah clarifies that Fazel’s viewpoint is based on the similar structure and categorization which had been mentioned in similar verses. Alsamerai, studying the results of past scholars, put together similar verses to both reject synonymies and explain the purpose, rhetoric, and literary miracle of the Quran, especially its artistic image using the word context, repetition, and appropriateness.
