Abstract
The imperative in the Arabic language is of great importance because it establishes rulings and clarifies duties descending from the highest to the lowest. It appears in the Qur’an in many forms, some of which are literal and others are metaphorical. This is understood from the context and the evidence. The imperative may deviate from its apparent and known truth for intended purposes, including supplication, threat, warning, denial, rebuke, warning, rebuke, incapacitation, etc., which is intended to be conveyed to the recipient in an indirect form, the latter of which may be more influential and more hurtful to souls. This is a noble science known to scholars, both ancient and modern. In this research, we have made a modest effort, trying to serve the Qur’anic text and divine discourse, taking evidence from verses of Surat Al Imran, accompanied by some interpretations that support this phenomenon.
