Exceptional verses are not restricted to the five topical fields. Qur’anic eloquence and unusual modes of expression also distinguish passages. Sound pattern, arrangement of address, or the power of a literary image can produce an effect remarkable in its own right.
Rhetorical analysis must not lose sight of meaning beneath verbal artistry. Qur’anic form serves to reveal and impress its message, rather than existing as a display of ornament detached from purpose.
Distinction: a passage may principally teach about the hereafter while its unusual feature is the vivid way that event is pictured. Topic and stylistic distinctiveness are connected but not identical.
