Abstract:
The Holy Quran is the miraculous words of Allah. It is sent down in standard Arabic. To understand the Qur'an and its provisions, it is necessary to understand its language and its miraculous linguistic features. Arabic is the tool of knowledge and the key to science and understanding religion.
Therefore, this study aims to look at the linguistic phenomena in the Qur'an (Part X and XI) in light of the phenomenon of linguistic expansion. The linguistic expansion is a form of metaphor, so it is necessary to detect the faces of the metaphor in the phenomena that have been addressed, and to show the effect of expansion on them. Accordingly, the researcher defined and clarified the concept of linguistic expansion, talked about linguistic phenomena, and then applied them directly on the verses of Allah.
This thesis consists of an abstract, introduction, three chapters, a conclusion, including results and recommendations, and then a list of sources and references.

The first topic: the concept of expansion llexically and idiomatically.
The second topic: the ancient scholars’ concept of expansion.

The third topic: anastrophe in the Holy Quran
