Abstract





This study aims to explore the aesthetic value of morphological forms in the eschatological verses of Surah Az-Zumar, using a descriptive-analytical method that combines statistical analysis with contextual and semantic interpretation. The research begins with a theoretical introduction that highlights the significance of morphological structures in shaping Qur'anic discourse and their role in generating rhetorical impact. The body of the study is divided into two main sections: the first examines nominal forms, focusing on masdars (verbal nouns) and active and passive participles; the second addresses verbal forms, including the past tense, present tense, imperative, and passive voice. Each section includes a quantitative survey of relevant morphological patterns found in the selected verses, followed by a qualitative analysis of representative examples. These examples are analyzed with attention to their morphological structure, semantic function, and contextual relevance. The findings reveal that the morphological choices in the Qur'an are not arbitrary, but deliberately employed to enhance meaning, support thematic coherence, and intensify expressive power—particularly in the context of the afterlife and its associated emotional and spiritual weight.
