The Source of "An" in Surat Al-Isra

Abstract

The Arabic language is a vast ocean of rules and rhetorical devices that reflect precise expression and rich meaning. Grammar is one of the pillars of this richness. One of the most prominent grammatical phenomena that attracts the attention of scholars is "An" and its sisters, especially "An" the Source of "An," due to its direct impact on sentence structure and meaning. This interest is further deepened when this phenomenon is studied in a Quranic context, such as Surat Al-Isra, given the grammatical precision and miraculous eloquence that the Quranic text contains.
