ANALYSIS OF AL-KINAYAH IN SURAH AL-ZALZALAH: Study of Figurative Rhetoric in Perspective Dirasah Balaghiyyah

This study aims to identify and analyze the use of al-kinayah (figurative expressions) in Surah Al-Zalzalah and to reveal its aesthetic value and semantic function in conveying eschatological messages. The method used is qualitative research with a balaghah analysis approach (Arabic rhetoric) that focuses on the aspect of al-bayan, especially al-kinayah. Data collection was carried out through literature studies and content analysis of the text of Surah Al-Zalzalah. The results of the study show that there are five forms of al-kinayah in this surah that have different semantic functions, namely: (1) al-kinayah about the shaking of the earth as a sign of the apocalypse, (2) al-kinayah about the earth releasing its burdens, (3) al-kinayah about human confusion, (4) al-kinayah about humans in various conditions, and (5) al-kinayah about actions as small as particles. This study concludes that the use of al-kinayah in Surah Al-Zalzalah plays an important role in increasing the effectiveness of message delivery and textual aesthetic value.
