What is the response to the specious argument regarding the frequent repetition in the Holy Qur’an, whether in wording, meaning, or stories? Is repetition an acceptable rhetorical device in the Arabic language during the time of the Prophet, peace be upon him? Does it have a benefit, and does it not detract from the Qur’an being the word of Allah?

Repetition in the Holy Quran is not a flaw; it has religious and literary benefits.

First: Its function from a religious perspective: To affirm and emphasize what is already confirmed. To show care for it, so that it may be more exemplary in conduct and clearer in belief.

Second: Its function from a literary perspective: To emphasize meanings and highlight them with clarity and eloquence. Repetition is a well-known Arabic stylistic device. It may be due to the long separation between the elements of a sentence, or to emphasize the relationship between words. It adds strength and harmony to the style. The repetition of a single word like "أولئك" (those) is to emphasize the meaning and register the ruling. Among the books written on this topic are "Asrar al-Takrar fi al-Quran" (Secrets of Repetition in the Quran) by Al-Kirmani, and "Khasa'is al-Ta'bir al-Qur'ani wa Simatuh al-Balaghiyyah" (Characteristics of Quranic Expression and its Rhetorical Features) by Dr. Abd al-Azim al-Mat'ani.
