ABSTRACT

Stylistics analysis of the linguistic components of the narrative units will examine the contribution of these Medinan texts to the artistic and literary value of the Qur'an. Stylistics is important for understanding 'the correspondence achieved in construction between the structure of meanings and the structure of words'. Stylistics is intellectually important for the position it takes in refusing to give ready-made judgments while simultaneously uncovering sexual/textual politics, which are hidden within the linguistic and literary texts. The metaphor of Maryam's growth as a good plant 'wa anbataha nabatan? Asanar' is a synecdoche of the good upbringing of Maryam. The verb appears in relation to Maryam, whose chosenness is certainly central to the chosenness of her family of 'Imran. In a descriptive form, the term appears in the Meccan period: Musa is mentioned as one of 'those chosen by God'. The same applies to Ibrahim and his two staged sons, Ishaq and Ya'qub according to the Qur'anic narrative.
