The holy Qur’an has adopted many methods in conveying its message to people, and among these methods is the style of the story that it has paid special attention to, form and content. The Quranic story has occupied a wide area in the Quranic context, and has actively contributed to its statement, rhetoric, miraculousness and verdicts, in addition to the entertainment it contains for the Messenger (may God bless him and grant him peace). From this standpoint, we will focus our research on the characteristics of the sentence in the context of the Qur’anic story, especially the stylistic characteristics. And what it achieves in terms of statement, significance and influence on the recipient's soul, in addition to achieving the mystery of the Quranic miracles, which is one of its goals for which it was revealed. We have examined these distinct characteristics of the sentence in the Qur’anic story through three axes or demands, namely: First: Verbal and semantic consistency. The second: the combination of compound and simple sentences. Third: the stylistic diversity between the nominative and the actual. This brief research discusses the most important advantages of the sentence in the context of the Quranic story. As a major unit in textual analysis, especially the sentences mentioned in the context of the Makkah story; Because of their importance and distinctive characteristics in the overall analysis of those stories, while not forgetting the civil story and indicating the semantic differences between them. The research reached many results, including that the Qur’an story in the Makkah surahs relied remarkably on the narration of events on short sentences. While the story in the Madinah surahs leaned towards long sentences, including that the Qur’an story relied on simple sentences, especially in dialogue stories, rather than on compound sentences, and also that the expression in actual sentences was overwhelming in the narrative use over nominal sentences what fits the actual sentence in its connotation of renewal, occurrence and movement, unlike the nominal one that denotes permanence and continuity.
