Qur’anic recurrence, stylistic variety, and rhetorical inimitability are not isolated compartments. A familiar truth can find a newly appropriate position each time it appears; that appropriateness contributes to expressive excellence. Historical reports and other evidence for iʿjāz nonetheless require their own reasoning.
When analyzing a repeated narrative, first determine its meaning and context. Then identify the new emphasis or form of expression. Finally distinguish a claim about eloquence from an independent historical claim.
Integrated principle: distinguish the topics without separating them artificially. The wisdom of repetition, contextual arrangement, and the various dimensions of iʿjāz jointly illuminate Qur’anic discourse.
