Phonetic and semantic investigation of the effect of vowels and fricative sounds on the discourse of the Quran (Case study: Surah Takwir, Shams, Inshirah, Asr, Falaq, Nas)

The semantic miracle is manifested through the direct effect of phonetic groups on the apparent and semantic meaning of the verses in the framework of the sound system, and this is explained by the theory of phonetic coordination by mentioning the frequency of abrasive sounds as well as the set of vowels and consonants influencing the meanings of the verses. The theory of name-sound (phonetic imitation)  and the role of saj’ in the Holy Quran are shown as examples in the surahs (Takwir, Shams, Asr, Inshirah , Falaq, and Nas). One of the results that the researcher reached about phonetic harmony is that the
frequency of vowels is higher than consonants and that longer “alef”  (a) is more than short “alef” (a). In Surah Takwir, the number of vowels is 87, and in the total number of surahs, the average percentage of Mahjooreh sounds is approximately 70%, which is more than twice the number of Mahmooreh sounds, and these percentages indicate the smoothness of the pronunciation of letters and the harmony of sounds in this surah. In phonetic imitation of verses, “So verily, I swear by the planets that recede—And by the planets that move swiftly and hide themselves—and by the night as it departs. And by the dawn as it brightens “, from Surah Takwir, the fricative sound of “Sin” is repeated seven times plus the fricative letter “Saad” once, which has caused the appearance of inner music in this surah. In Surah Shams, the sounds of anxiety have appeared with more frequency,  to express the state of warning and concern about the fate of man. Saj ‘ has also played an important role in the beauty of the sound and music of the words of all Surahs. For example, in Surah Nas, we see that all the verses have ended with the sound of Safiri Sin.
