Shadharat min al-qada' wal-jaza' fi at-ta'bir al-qur'ani

Author: Fadel Saleh As-Samarrai - Edition sIbn Katheer

The subject of this book concerns the Quran's choice of expressions related to "judgment" (القضاء) and "retribution" (الجزاء), examined from artistic and rhetorical points of view. “Judgment” (القضاء) in the sense of decision particularly, it is the decree of God, its conclusion and its fulfillment, it is the separation and the decision. Between the judgment and the decision, there is a generality and a particularity. And “retribution” (الجزاء) as mentioned in the Book of God, refers to divine reward for actions. There is an artistic and rhetorical correspondence between judgment and retribution, and Surah Fâtir serves as a ground for artistic analysis and rhetorical explanation to illuminate these two concepts, their implications, their mutual relationship, and their impact on Quranic expression in a vast area.
