Stylistics as a branch of modern linguistics always strives to examine the text in terms of aesthetics, regardless of history, society and the life of its author, which extratextual matters. Studying the Surahs of the Quran from this point of view indicates that the Quran is a technical, precise, timeless and super-human text and has a unique and consistent structure. The framework of stylistics includes a review of phonology, vocabulary, sequences, definite or indefinite structures, singular and plural words, repetition, nominal or verbal sentences, and types of questions and so on. The present study examines the aesthetic and stylistic aspects of the Surah Al-Qamar through a descriptive-analytical method, while taking into account the unique context of the Surah itself. The result of the study revealed that, given the context of the Surah, words, sentences, and letters have been used artistically in a unique sequence and position. The words serve the meaning perfectly, and the meaning has affected the choice of words, in a way that it would not be possible to modify, move, or make a suggestion in order to alter and transform the text.

Semantics, as a branch of linguistic, is a knowledge that analyzes the meaning of the words and sentences of a text. With this knowledge, we can recognize the exact positions of the words and their compound forms through a semantic system. The word "jihad", a very important word in the Quran, is considered from this perspective. This word is one of the complex concepts that has long been the focus of attention in Islamic schools, and its frequent appearance throughout the Quran indicatives its importance. The present study seeks to answer these two questions: What are the collocations and replacements for the word Jihad? And what are semantic factors of this word? Thus after considering about forty-one verses of the Holy Quran and pragmatic analyses of jihad, we found that the term jihad has the connotation of soft wars and power which is quite the opposite of the general view towards it, considering it as a war with weapons. Accordingly, it often means power and war-like software. That is to say, it focuses on promising, advising, and preaching. Therefore, by this way, we can dispel the unfair propagations, especially in the present time that the enemies of Islam try to propagate so called Islam with power and swords.
