Abstract:
 This research extrapolates the human concept of broad rhetorical thought, which is characterized by its flexible nature, which accommodates all sciences and arts, while improving the tastes of those being addressed. Those who search the rhetoric of the Holy Qur’an, the eloquence of the prophetic tradition, and literary creativity are obliged to adhere to a systematic awareness so that rhetoric does not lose its human specificity. Rhetoric falls between the limits of science on the one hand and art and beauty on the other hand, which rejects scientific consistency and rebels against codification, which makes it a (unique) approach that is not fixed, but possible or reasonable, and it even accommodates all creative experiences. Rhetoric accommodates all sciences and arts with flexibility and mastery over all laws and constants. It is a wide field for all modes of expression and creative energies through different contexts, linguistic as well as non-linguistic contexts: conversational, intentional, temporal, spatial, psychological, social... etc. According to Prof. Ibrahim Al-Khouli the science of rhetoric has matured but is not complete because it is an extended science that accommodates all modes of expression: divine and non-divine. It is renewed so long as its content and texts are renewed. The broad humanity of rhetorical thought is not incompatible with the possibility of systematic commitment to syntactic approaches whether they are structural, semiotic, stylistic, or pragmatic.
