LessonsSupplementary Practice 26 — Comparative Rhetoric of Sūrat al-Qāriʿah and Sūrat al-TīnQuiz

نَارٌ حَامِيَةٌ
A blazing fire. (101:11)

لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْإِنْسَانَ فِي أَحْسَنِ تَقْوِيمٍ
We have certainly created humankind in the finest constitution. (95:4)

The first passage gives a brief but decisive answer after prolonged suspense. The second uses lām and qad after an oath to strengthen a core assertion. Short wording alone does not prove every technical type of concision; equally, emphatic words are not automatically wasteful elaboration.

Maqtaḍā al-ḥāl governs the choice: once suspense has prepared the hearer, a short disclosure is effective, whereas an important proposition announced after an oath calls for emphatic confirmation.
