Authors : Aounallah Khadidja .

Abstract

Abstract: The Holy Quran is distinguished by its musical rhythm, which plays a pivotal role in its aesthetic appeal. This sacred text is characterized by a sound system and linguistic beauty, meticulously organized to harmonize with its dynamic movements, pauses, elongations, and soothing tones. Such precise organization allows the audience to appreciate the aesthetic intricacies in the arrangement of its letters, the sequence of its words, and the harmony between its sounds and phrases. Each word in the Quran is a manifestation of divine miraculousness, carefully selected to convey deep meanings through its phonetic rhythm. This embodies eloquent expression and profound significance. The placement and purpose of each Quranic pause and word reflect both the depth of meaning and rhythmic harmony, providing an aesthetic sound value and a semantic function. These elements are imbued with connotations that instill tranquility in the soul, promoting patience and steadfastness. This paper aims to explore these intricate aspects of the Holy Quran
