The Holy Quran is the last divine book that was revealed by Gabriel (pbuh) to the Holy Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), and it is a miraculous book in terms of expression, rhetoric, style, and language ability. The researcher began his study with the title “Using Phonetics in the Speech of the Qur’an in Surah Al-Isra” and the aim of this research was to study the sounds and linguistic sounds in the Qur’an. The researcher begins his research with syllables, tones, and strong and weak vowel groups. It has also examined the structural changes that occur in the Qur’anic sound and the acoustic aesthetics, including precedence, delay, omission, and repetition.
In addition to the above issues, the researcher has studied the role of sounds and their number in the coherence of words and the role of Madd in speech flexibility, as well as the role of Quranic intervals in arranging the melody within a surah.
This research was conducted using a descriptive-analytical method, and the statistical method helped to facilitate the study. The researcher achieved results such as the role of the audio collection in the speed of the song within the verses and the fit of the sounds with the theme of the verses. Average verses are the most common among all phonetic groups, and the variety of topics in Surah Isra ‘, from legislation and dialogue, to recalling and narrating the stories of the prophets, is commensurate with the use of middle and clear voices. Also, the influence of acoustic aesthetics on the control of rhythm and maintaining the vocal level in the surah, the role of repetition in creating rhythm and emphasis on meanings and implications, the role of Madd in flexibility of speech and its distance from verbal complexity, and the role of intervals in achieving phonetic harmony and rhythm change in Quranic intervals and its effect on music changing, are the cases mentioned in this research.
