The College of Education for Humanities Holds a Scientific Symposium on Aesthetic Reflections on the Formal Aspects of Short Surahs

The Department of Arabic Language at the College of Education for Humanities, University of Diyala, held a scientific symposium on aesthetic reflections on the formal aspects of short surahs.The symposium, whose themes were discussed by Professor Dr. Iyad Abdul-Wadoud Othman and Lecturer Dr. Anmar Ibrahim Ahmed, aimed to reveal the aesthetics of form in the Quranic style using new methods, moving beyond traditional approaches.The symposium sought to systematically explore the formal expressive methods specific to the Quran, based on examples from short surahs. This included examining sonority, parallelism at both the grammatical and rhetorical levels, and the influence of morphological structures in evoking similar forms in harmony with Quranic performance patterns. The symposium recommended the necessity of adopting the symposium’s ideas to develop research in the Qur’an based on the formal aspect within the limits of its connection to the content and not far from it, as well as adopting modern theories in revealing the miracle and its related consequences.
