| Summary: | This study intends to unravel the balaghah
aspect which supports the narrative structure
of the story between Moses with the Pious
Man in Surah al-Kahf as an effort to highlight
the aesthetic value of the story. The two main
elements of discussion are given the focal
attention in the analysis, namely the balaghah
aspects and the narrative structure to demonstrate
the coordination between the two elements.
This study applies the analytical method by
extracting the aspects of balaghah through the
conventional approach practiced and introduced
by the Abd Al-Qāhir Al-Jurjānī. This approach
explains the existence of the close relationship
between the balaghah aspect and the narrative
technique. The balaghah aspect is the element
being analysed however this study attempts to
relate the approach with the narrative structures.
In analyzing Quranic texts related to Moses with
the Pious Man, this study unravels the narrative
structure found in the text by examining the
balaghah aspects that support the structures.
This analysis does not cover other available
narratives which are not related to this particular
story. This analysis also focuses on the word
choice, the arrangement in the text, the rational of using the word and its
implication, and the lesson and example derived
from the narrative. Hence, with this approach,
the analysis is expected to provide answers
especially to the priority given by the Quran
to certain utterances in supporting the narrative
structure of this story in an effort to highlight
the compatibility and harmony between the
balaghah aspects and the narrative structure,
which lure the readers towards the beauty and
uniqueness of the language found in the Quran,
while simultaneously contribute new findings
from different aspects. |
