Grammatical Shifts in Holy Quran: Another Linguistic Miracle

Abstract

#This study aims to refute false claims and doubts claiming that the Noble Quran contradicts the linguistic conventions of the Arabs in their speech. It also attempts to uncover the hidden secrets behind grammatical shifts in Holy Quran. The study is divided into an introduction, theoretical framework, and four sections: Section one deals with shifting for the sake of conveying a new meaning. Section two discussed shifting to prevent the confluence of alternative meanings within a structure. Section three focused on shifting from the expected grammatical construction to avoid ambiguity. Section four addressed the misconceptions about grammatical shifts. The study findings showed that grammatical shifts in those verses were considered one of the manifestations of linguistic miracles in the Holy Quran.
