The Holy Qur’an, in conveying profound and multilayered concepts such as divine punishment, employs a variety of rhetorical devices, among which paradox (mufāraqa) stands out as one of the most significant. Through the combination of seemingly contradictory notions, this device creates a reflective context that deepens the audience’s understanding of notions such as divine justice and mercy. This study, adopting a rhetorical–exegetical approach, explores the semantic and didactic functions of the paradoxical literary device in Qur’anic verses pertaining to worldly and otherworldly punishment of groups such as sinners, disbelievers, and hypocrites. The main objective is to analyze the role of conceptual incongruities in establishing a balance between fear and hope, enhancing contemplative engagement with verses on punishment, and elucidating truths beyond sensory experience. The findings indicate that mufāraqa (paradox) is not only an aesthetic feature but also serves as an effective rhetorical instrument for warning, calling to repentance, addressing doubts, and stimulating intellectual reflection, while also revealing aspects of unseen realities. Therefore, beyond its verbal and semantic beauty, this rhetorical device exhibits significant semantic and interpretive functions.
