This study investigates the rhetorical secrets embedded in the past, present, and imperative verb forms of "تلا" (recite), "قرأ" (read), and "رتل" (chant) as they appear in the Qur'an. It explores how these verbs serve as linguistic tools for understanding the Qur'an's miraculous nature. By examining the nuances of each verb tense, the research highlights how the Qur'an's eloquence manifests in its syntax, revealing layers of meaning that reflect divine guidance and instruction. Through this analysis, the study demonstrates how these verbs in their various forms, contribute to the rhetorical power of the Qur'an, shaping its recitative and contemplative qualities. The research also provides insight into the broader implications of these verbs on Islamic teachings and their significance in religious practice.
