The way the holy Qur’ān speaks to the human has always posed a question to him – especially the contemporary human. The author of this article believes that the manifestation of this style should be sought via a phenomenon called “the articulateness of the Qur’ān.” According to the linguistic and narrative indications, the “message and intention delivery and presentation” is the essential meaning that lies in the word “articulation,” and this message and intention might be realized through sensory mechanisms such as utterances and sounds (sensory articulation) or intellectual mechanisms (intellectual articulation). The premise of this article is that the expressive revelation is one type of the qur’ānic revelation articulation that ultimately leads to the confirmation of the origination of the exegesis of the Qur’ān from the qur’ānic revelation.
