The Eloquence of the Interrogative Style in the Verses of Heaven and Hell in the Noble Qur’an

Abstract

This study aimed to reveal the use of interrogatives in the verses of Heaven and Hell, especially the eloquence of the interrogative style in these verses in the Noble Qur’an. The study also highlighted the intellectual and aesthetic aspects/values of the verses of Heaven and Hell in the Noble Qur’an as well as the importance of the eloquence of the interrogative style in depicting the scenes of Heaven and Hell. To achieve this, the researcher relied on the descriptive approach. The researcher concluded that the Noble Qur’an used the interrogative style in the verses of Heaven and Hell to achieve great honourable rhetorical purposes. The most important of them were denial, exaltation, encouragement, suspense, and confirmation; all of which combined to form an expressive portrait of the contents of the Noble Qur’an represented in a rule based on encouragement and intimidation that achieves the fullest reward for the believers and disbelievers, and shows their appearance, condition, bliss and torment in the eternal Hell and Heaven.
