Many verses in the Quran are expressed in a form of a metaphoric restriction (Ghasr). The style of the Ghasr is one of the main branches of semantics, from among different kinds of rhetoric. The Holy Quran has utilized this figure of speech in different ways.

It also pays attention to its classification based on the addressee’s situation.
