Linguistic and contextual counterpoint in the Holy Quran Surat Al-Araf and Thunder as a model

Abstract

The Holy Quran system is built Generally on counterpoint, been described as a rhetorical phenomenon containing a system built on Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, promoting faith and warn of   infidelity also been built on other meanings of Counterpoints and through that we can put this rhetorical art under the spot light for studying the Holy Quran but not only according to the prevailing concept, but also to include the iterative circuit that’s built on Context in the meanings of Counterpoints, which means we are seeking to study and knowing the iterative circuit from a different point of view that might be different than the one we used to before.

And this research took a new path to achieve this conceptwith regards to the words and their ways also the rhetorical phenomenon that these contexts have different meanings which is been expanded by the language and grammar researchers, as for our current research is putting a specific meaning for the word which leads the human brain to automatically recall for the counterpoint meaning word through a specific Pronunciation or through a whole context in a verse of the Holy Quran; This research is built upon two different level of counterpoints and they are:

• Language Counterpoint
• Context Counterpoint: which is built upon analytic description for the meaning of counterpoint in surah Al-A’raf and Surah Al-Ra’ad as an example from the holy Quran

That’s why the researcher showed interest insurah Al-A’raf and Surah Al-Ra’ad for those two Surah have shown the counterpoints a lot in them, in surah Al-Ra’ad it has been used fifty times and surah Al-A’raf is been used eighteen times which makes for a worth study case.
