It even challenged the Arabs, the masters of eloquence and rhetoric. This was due to its exceptional style, eloquent vocabulary, precise meanings, and beautiful composition, and diverse themes— qualities beyond human capability. One of the most remarkable aspects of the Quran’s miraculous nature is its unique style in presenting ideas and issues. The Quran’s style is harmonized with both reason and emotion, aligning with the context in which its speech is delivered. Its expressions perfectly match the situation for which the words were revealed. The styles of the Quran possess an extraordinary ability to express various states and circumstances, considering all contextual factors. This highlights its rhetorical inimitability, which even the most eloquent Arab poets and literary figures could not rival. The Quran’s styles vary depending on the context of the verses and the conditions of the audience. Sometimes, the situation necessitates the use of indefinite nouns or placing the predicate before the subject. In other instances, the conditions of the audience require definiteness, indefiniteness, omission, or the use of implicit references for the subject or predicate. This diversity in style is never arbitrary but is always guided by contextual indicators. This is why the Quran’s style is unique in its composition and profound in its presentation. Among the distinguished and eloquent styles found in the Quran is the rhetorical device of preposing (taqdim)—a stylistic choice that aligns with the intended meaning and the state of the audience. In the Quran, preposing only occurs when the intended meaning cannot be achieved without it. Similarly, postponement (ta’khir) occurs only when the intended meaning requires it. This stylistic technique is one of many found in the Quran, encompassing numerous rhetorical secrets and accompanying meanings. It is also present in both classical Arabic poetry and prose. In the Quran, this style appears in various contexts, carrying profound rhetorical and semantic significance. It often deviates from the conventional word order of Arabic sentences, serving specific rhetorical purposes. This stylistic feature is a mark of skilled literary expression, and writers and poets vary in their ability to employ it effectively. The Quran masterfully employs this technique as a means of unveiling specific meanings and rhetorical purposes that cannot be conveyed through any other structure. This study highlights the aesthetic value of this technique by examining its connection to context. There is a strong correlation between preposition in the Quran and the context in which it.}, number={1}, publisher={Muş Alparslan Üniversitesi}
