Abstract

It is a well-known fact that the best thing that a person devotes his time to is the study of the book of Almighty God, the Holy Qur'an, exploring its rhetoric, and following its guidance. This paper, therefore, is an attempt to explore the eloquence of one of the Qur'anic suras which comes at the end of the Qur'an because it is the last thing left in the memory and perhaps preserved without all other words, namely Surat An-Nas (the people), by focusing on the Qur’anic rhetoric in this blessed surah along with a statement of the secret of its miraclousness, the validity of its meanings, the relevance of its words to context, and the importance of its topic related to Monotheism and divinity and the repeated readings memorizing, learning and teaching of this surah.
