This study includes the concepts and generalities related to the key words mentioned in the thesis title. Also the terms of face , encounter and image have been mentioned in Arabic word and the morphological limits of each of the words and their diacritic in Arabic dictionaries, along with the table and percentage ratios of their use by Arabs. Also, the description of the word “face” in the Holy Quran on the Day of Resurrection and the condition of the believers and unbelievers has been mentioned, and the Qur’anic method has been used in drawing the meaning of the change of face and the desired signs. This study has aimed to identify the Qur’anic meanings and its implications in the expression of face change in the Qur’an. This issue is important due to the importance of rhetorical and critical studies that have paid attention to the Holy Qur’an and also the importance of the Qur’anic style itself in delineating words and expressing meanings. One of the most important assumptions of this study is the eloquence of the Qur’anic style and the adoption of style of imaging in the position of praise, fear and guidance, and the imaging was a distinctive tool in the Qur’anic style, and the critics and researchers investigated the effect and importance of this style in expression and then it became a distinctive tool in judging the correctness and eloquence of the works. The main question is: “what is the importance of the concept of face in the Holy Quran and how is this word drawn rhetorically?” Finally, we achieved some results, among which we can mention the identification of the rhetorical tools of the Qur’an and showing the miracles of the Qur’anic words, as well as the importance of the word “face” in the Holy Qur’an and its changes in the way of expressing the meaning.
