Abstract

To repeat a word with synonymous meaning does not necessarily mean redundant. It also works in Arabic language with its typical characteristics even though the words are synonymous. This study aims to examine the tautological language features of Arabic language in the Quran regarding the existence of God and their underlying meanings. It employs stylistics approach where linguistic interpretation is carried out to meticulously examine one word from another. The results demonstrate that the existence of God is constructed in 1) kalam khabar-informative, 2) qashrlimited, and 3) similar construction of the predicate illustrating the subject. The underlying meanings of such construction is to emphasize Allah’s almighty, the present God’s presence, and illuminate the hereafter.
