Stylistic Analysis of Surah Al-Naas (Al-nās)
Abstract
The Holy Quran is a unique book of its own kind. It is a message of the Creator (SWT) to human beings, His Creation. This paper stylistically analyzes Surah Al-nās, the last Surah of the Holy Book. The research applies four levels of stylistic analysis, i.e. graphological level, phonological level, lexical level and discourse analysis level. The results show that though the Surah is small with only six verses yet it is stylistically a very rich one. The results reveal that the Surah not only has some unique features of composition but also beautifully sums up the message given in the Holy Book. They reveal that the Surah has simple and musically composition. The analysis unveils the unique patterns of the starting and ending of the verses of the Surah. It also shows that the attributes mentioned in the verses of the Surah deal with the direct relation of mankind with the Creator (SWT). The small Surah revises the message given in the Holy Quran and warns the man against the deceptive and evil attacks of Satan. The Surah, on one hand, reveals the power and authority of the Creator (SWT) and on the other hand helplessness of human beings. The human beings are vulnerable to the temptations of Satan, therefore, they need to surrender themselves before Him (SWT) to lead a successful and happy life.
