Opposites "Taqabul" in the surah that begins with the letters (Alif, Lam and Meem)

Abstract

This study aims to clarify the concept of semantic opposition and to reveal the types and forms of opposition in the Qur’anic chapters that begin with (Alif, Lam, Meem). To achieve this objective, the study relied on the inductive method followed by the analytical method by identifying these oppositions and examining their contexts. The study yielded several results, the most important of which is that semantic opposition in the chapters beginning with (Alif, Lam, Meem) is a stylistic phenomenon deeply rooted within them. The opposition occurs at the level of words and structures, both in binary and multiple forms. The types of opposition evident in these chapters include spatial opposition, temporal opposition, contrastive opposition, symmetrical opposition, and the opposition of non-existence and existence.
