Abstract

The Holy Quran is a miracle in many different aspects. People everywhere and at all times have been in awe of it for many different reasons.  Scholars' efforts have been oriented towards uncovering those aspects, hoping to reach something of its wonders and secrets. There is no doubt that the rhetorical aspect is the most prominent one, thus it has received the most attention from scholars who have begun to ponder over its words, structure, and composition, and uncover what they could of its rhetorical secrets and aesthetics. 

Investigating harmony in the Holy Quran is considered as one of the important approaches to uncovering the extent of its eloquence and the strength of its rhetoric. The verses and chapters have the greatest arrangement and the most beautiful harmony. Everyone can see that each chapter is in its proper place,and each verse is in its precise place. . If anyone were to change the place of a chapter or verse, it would be flawed, meaning would be lost, and no one would be able to understand it.

This study  is an attempt to uncover something of the aesthetics of Quranic harmony and to reveal a glimpse of its greatness and eloquence. It seeks to reach some of  the secrets of its ordering and the wonders of its structure through Al dhariyat Part which includes a number of chapters.It reflects upon the aesthetics of their ordering and the secrets of their flow, and shows how they are linked and interconnected.The study also attempts to explain the wonders of structure  in a single chapter  by looking into its connected parts  and reflecting on how the beginning and the ending are connected and how all that is linked to its theme and general  purpose.
