Al-Ihtiras is an art among the rhetorical digressive arts usually found in Arabic poetry and the Glorious Quran in particular. The rhetoricians usually classify Al-Ihtiras into two types according to its position in speech. The first occurs in the medial position and the second in the final position.The present study classifies Al-Ihtiras in terms of meaning into four types: Oppositive Ihtiras, Complementary Ihtiras, Ironic Ihtiras and Supletive Ihtiras.The main function of Al-Ihtiras is to direct the path of meaning avoiding anything that may lead to misinterpretation. The Quranic Ihtiras directs the meaning to the exact meaning without leaving a room for misinterpretation. Furthermore, Al-Ihtiras deepens the meaning and increases its emphasis and clarity.
