Abstract

This research deals with "introducing the given to the new" in the surahs beginning with praise in the Glorious Quran: Al-Hadeed, Al-Jumuah, Al-Hasher, Al-Saf, Al-Taghabun and Al-Ala as the research touches upon highlighting the two types of deletion in the nominal sentence: the new foregrounded and the given known, and the new foregrounded and the given unknown; old grammarians and modernists elaborated much about them. Then the research tackles the nominal sentence with its deleted items whether it is a given or a new, showing the number of these sentences in the verses of the Glorious Qur'an, clarifying strange words using Arabic dictionaries the old and the new ones, and then extracting Quranic reciting from books of reciting interpreting these sentences with the inflection of the Glorious Quran in the past and at the present. The research has found that the style of the new foregrounded and the given known occurs in the surahs beginning with praise in the Glorious Quran eleven times and the new foregrounded and the given unknown twelve times, which means that the first type occurs much often than the second.
