Abstract

This study aims to describe the eloquence of the Qur’anic interlude and its miraculousness in a number of verses from the Qur’an. The use of the interlude does not consider the pronunciation only, but it is also used to complement the Qur’anic meaning. The function of the Qur’anic interlude appears in the choice of words, and it appears in the preference of one word over another in the verses that are concluded with the attributes of the mentioned prophets, peace and blessings be upon them, from Prophet Abraham to Prophet Enoch in Surat Maryam, from verse 49 to 56. The study particularly investigates why these verses end with His saying: “A truthful person and a prophet, we made each of them sincere and a prophet messenger, true to his promise, and we granted him a highly respected status.” This study follows the inductive approach, by studying the interpretation of these verses, and the deductive approach, by deducing the rhetorical purposes of the interlude in the verses under study. The eloquence of the Qur’anic interlude is used to complement the meaning in the Qur’anic context. Surat Maryam refutes the statements of the People of the Book regarding Jesus, peace and blessings be upon him, and regarding other prophets of God.
