Abstract

No doubt that the fine meanings of the Quranic Eloquence are endless as an extended ocean with no coasts. Contemplating these meanings helps to identify some aspects of the Quranic inimitability and a great reason to act with its guidance. The current paper is an attempt to reveal some of the fine meanings of the Quranic Eloquence in talking about “Ūlū alʼalbāb” (The People of Understanding) in Surat Al-Ra’ad (Thunder); stating their significant features, great position, reward in the afterlife, as well as clarifying the words of these verses and their contexts of fine meanings.

The study revealed the following findings: “Ūlū alʼalbāb” (The People of Understanding) are those with perfect faith, clear insights, the pure hearts, and minds free from every blemish and turbidity. In addition, the fine meanings of the Quranic Eloquence in talking about “Ūlū alʼalbāb” (The People of Understanding) in Surat Al-Ra’ad stated their high position and honor by Allah (Glory Be to Him), and perfect characteristcs. The verses showed the great reward awaiting for them in the afterlife and Allah’s generosity with them. If there are no verses in the Holy Quran mentioning “Ūlū alʼalbāb” except for these verses, they would have been enough to show their honor and dignity.
