The Impact of Syntactic Similarity on the Divergence of Grammatical Meaning in Verses with Four Interpretative Possibilities in the Noble Qur’an

Abstract

This research explores the phenomenon of syntactic similarity in the Holy Qur’an, focusing on its role in shaping meaning and interpretation. Syntactic similarity, manifested through recurring inflectional and structural patterns, is present in every surah of the Qur’an. Despite its prevalence, it has not, to the best of my knowledge, received a detailed and systematic study. The present work seeks to fill this gap by examining eighteen distinct phenomena of syntactic similarity, each analyzed in terms of its grammatical structure and exegetical significance. Through this investigation, the study aims to contribute to a deeper linguistic and interpretive understanding of the Qur’anic text.
