The Effect of Rhetorical Miracle of the Occasion on the Meaning Orientation of Ayas’ Endings: A Case of Surat Ghafer

Abstract

In this study, the researcher points out the effect of Rhetorical miracle occasion on the meaning orientation of Ayas’ endings through surat Ghafer as it is considered as a good sample to study because of the too many examples that can’t be counted in such a limited research. First, the researcher explains the meaning of Ayas’ endings linguistically and idiomatically and mentions their types as they are related to the meaning of the last verse. Then the researcher points out the effect of the occasion in the one verse in surat Ghafer and focuses on its ending and its role in the cohesion of the Quraanic verse and its relationship in finding up the linguistic utterance of the surah. After that, the researcher clarifies the relationships between this ending and its context concerning its appropriateness to the beginning and to the linguistic utterance. Then the researcher refers to those endings that might be questioned, answering the question “why does this surah ends like this, but not like that?” To explain this, the researcher follows the scholars’ approach in dealing with such a question, trying to read between the lines in order to reach the covert meaning of the text. Finally, the researcher refers to the meanin orientation of endings and points out the appropriateness of the ending to the parts of similar utterances in different contexts through the different verse ending in the same surah and the different verse endings among surahs in order to know the relations between these endings and their contexts and the reason for their presence.
