Praise and blame are considered dualities of the Qur’an that are not only found in religious texts, especially the Holy Qur’an as well. In many of the Qur’anic verses we see that God Almighty praised himself or others from the believers or those close to him, and in return he blamed Satan and his followers of the infidels and polytheists with blame accompanied by reprimand and threats with the aim of changing their ideological direction. This study, based on the descriptive-analytical approach, aims to provide a comprehensive definition of praise and blame in Arabic literature in general and the Holy Qur’an in particular. This first, but secondly sheds light on examining the verses of blame and praise on the one hand, and studying them from the semantic, stylistic, and performative aspect on the other hand in contemporary interpretations. Praise includes God Almighty himself and other prophets (peace be upon them), male and female believers, and those to them. As for blame, the same word is mentioned in some Qur’anic verses in its various derivatives, the source, the noun of the subject, the verb, and others. The tool of praise is crystallized from in yes and preferred, and yes is mentioned in twenty verses of the Holy Qur’an, and there is no mention of those who are preferred in it, but the blame tool is crystallized in plus and bad, and they are mentioned in the holy verses in their various derivatives. From a stylistically speaking, the Qur’an has the emphatic method, And exaggeration and limitation in both tools as well.
