The phonetic Structure in Surat Adh-Dhariyat

Abstract

I selected the phonetic phenomena in Surah Adh-Dhāriyāt from the Holy Qur’an for study due to the abundance of phonetic features present in this surah. Undoubtedly, no surah of the Qur’an is devoid of such phonetic phenomena; however, to the best of my knowledge and according to my review of previous studies, these phenomena in this particular surah have not been examined in detail. For this reason, I chose to investigate them specifically within Surah Adh-Dhāriyāt. My examination revealed the presence of the Qur’anic verse ending (fāṣilah) along with variation in Qur’anic readings (qirāʾāt) and different forms of repetition, all of which appear prominently in this surah. Accordingly, the research plan is divided into three sections: The first section introduces the surah. The second examines the verse endings (fāṣilah) in the surah. The third discusses the other phonetic phenomena present in the surah.
