Abstract
Repetition, as a prominent rhetorical and content approach, plays an important role in conveying concepts, emphasizing key themes, and creating an emotional connection with the audience. Repetition in the Holy Quran is not only used to emphasize the importance of the basic concepts of Islam, but also helps create harmony and rhythm in the text, facilitate memorization and recitation, and convey educational and instructive messages. This research aims to identify and analyze different patterns of repetition at the lexical, phraseological, verse, and narrative levels. To achieve this goal and due to the multifaceted nature of the present article, the research method is a combination of data coding using the data-driven strategy method with MAXQDA software for the structure of repetition in the Holy Quran and the qualitative content analysis method in the inductive method in the section of educational requirements for teachers. The results of the study indicate that there are three categories of repetition of words, meaning, and pattern in the Quran, each of which is divided into three more detailed categories. Repetition of letters, words, and verses in the word section, repetition of content, phrases, and stories in the meaning section, and repetition in one or more surahs, numbers, and patterns in the pattern section, are categorized. In the section on educational requirements, five points can be explained to teachers,
including: paying attention to the necessity of repetition, creating a connection between the goal and the method of repetition, diversity in repetition patterns, paying attention to repetition intervals, and paying attention to aesthetic elements in repetition.
