The author addresses the intersection of two important topics in Quranic studies: the critique of the available English translations and the role of rhetoric in the interpretation of the Quran. He identifies a number of figures characteristic of Quranic style which represent some of the chief stumbling blocks for readers who are used to English in attempting to understand, interpret, and appreciate the text. The book should be useful to all those interested in rhetorical and translation studies and theory as well as Islamic studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 Word Order \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2 Iltifāt \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3 Indicative in Place of Imperative or Jussive \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4 Indefinite Nouns \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5 Non-Consequential Exception \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e6 Pleonasm and Redundancy \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e7 Repetition for Emphasis \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e8 Parallelism \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e9 Juxtaposition of Contrasting Conditional Sentences \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e10 Coordination \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e11 Lack of Conjunctive (Asyndeton) \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e12 Parenthesis (iʿtirāḍ) \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e13 Succinctness, or ījāz al-qiṣar \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e14 Ellipsis, or ījāz al-ḥadhf \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39297123450915,"sku":"9789004412521","price":150.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2514\/8624\/products\/9ffe3f6797a1da372d4a203a089c11a2fa8c636f.jpg?v=1619170021","url":"https:\/\/wardahbooks.mom\/products\/theinimitablequran","provider":"Wardah Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
