Abstract

This research deals with the significance of the variant readings of the Quran in rhetorical
inimitability of the Holy Quran. It aims to reveal the most important features of the rhetorical
inimitability in the variant readings of the Quran in surah El Fatiha through analyzing them and
showing their grammatical and rhetorical meanings andalso deducing the meanings related to their
diversities.
This study shows that the features of rhetorical inimitability of the variant readings of the Quran in
surah El Fatiha are highly noticed in the differences between Al-Farsh and Al-Usul in the surah, and
that most of them are concerned with Al-Usul. These features are reflected through word eloquence
and its diversity in the arab dialects and also the wide range of meanings that are carried by the
variant readings of the Quran.
