ظاھرة الخبر ذکرا و حذفا فی نظم القرآن: دراسۃ نحویۃ و بلاغیۃ

Elimination of the Predicate in the Holy Quran It is a fact that the Holy Quran, being the last Book revealed by Almighty Allah is perfect in all respects. It contains instructions for the entire humanity and teaches us how to become an excellent human being. One beautiful feature of this Book is its rhetoric and syntax, the richness and grandeur of which cannot be found in any other language of the world. In every language, a sentence consists of 'Subject' and `Predicate'. Sometimes 'Predicate' is deleted from the sentence which makes the language more beautiful and impressive. This feature has been used in the Holy Quran very frequently, which has added to the beauty of the Quranic language. I have highlighted this aspect in the light of: 1: Elm-Ul-Bayan 2: Elm-U1-Ma'ani 3: Elm-Ul-Badea Briefly, my thesis consists of an introduction, five chapters and a final conclusion. First chapter: It deals with Arabic syntax and rhetoric, and has two sub-chapters. Second chapter: It deals with Arabic rhetoric, where I have concentrated on theoretical study of the issue. It consists of five sub-chapters. Third chapter: This chapter deals with Predicate in syntax. I have further divided this chapter into three sub-chapters. Fourth chapter: It deals with Predicative attribution and highlights the elimination of attributed words. I have further divided this chapter into three sub-chapters. Fifth chapter: This chapter deals with Applied study in which examples of elimination of Predicate have been quoted from the verses of the Holy Quran. It has three sub-chapters. I am confident that my effort will make the readers more conscious to appreciate the beauty of the language of the Holy Quran. Wallahulmusta'an.
