Abstract
This paper studies a Qur’anic linguistic style, namely “Comparative Form (afʻal) in other Classification.”
The rules adopted by the linguists and interpreters of the Holy Quran stipulate that comparative form (afʻal) is used to compare between two things common in one adjective while one of them is more than the other. However, this form comes in the Holy Quran, Prophet’s hadiths, and Arabian poetry not to express the comparison but to express other meanings stated by the context.
Using the comparative form in these other meanings is one of the Arabic language fine secrets and an aspect of its semantics.
The research includes an introduction and two chapters as follows:
Chapter one: Brief introductions to the most significant issues of comparative form (afʻal).
Chapter two: an applied aspect of using comparative form (afʻal) in other meanings based on the Quranic positions.
The research revealed several findings including:
- Studying the rhetoric styles in the Holy Quran leads to founding out its secrets, helps contemplation, and then acting in it.
- The comparison concept is not achieved without two parties common in an adjective while one of them is more than the other.
- The grammarians and interpreters of the Holy Quran disagreed about comparative form (afʻal) does not express the comparison on three opinions: absolute prevention, definite allowance, and permit based on hearing without measurement.
- The Comparative form (afʻal) may exceed its original semantics to other ones including: adjectival participle, gerund, objective, superlative, exaggeration, transcendence and distance, resemblance, absolute preference, and compulsory preference.
