In the Name of the One who gave all things their speech Al-Khitab (Address Mode) & Al-Iltifat (Modal Switch) http://www.untiredwithloving.org/khitab.html
Based upon the seminal work of Grand Sage Jalaled-Din Suyuti the Addressing expressions of Qur’an are explored for the purpose of the English reader to develop a ‘feel’ for the Prophetic Language, without the need to become a scholar of Arabic. http://www.untiredwithloving.org/khitab.html#Iltifat_contrast The addressing modes of Qur’an are often switched, from one to the other, and the purpose behind such modal-switches are explored via the language of the ‘difference method’ of Alrfred North Whitehead in Process & Reality and extended by the Sufism’s terminology of Ta’ayyun (Contrast). The purpose of the metaphysics is not to declare or determine a final truth, for all truths reside with Al-Haqq (The Absolute Truth, Allah) and none with any servants, the true purpose is to develop a LANGUAGE to describe as wide as possible and as general as possible the terminologies of Qur’anic addressing. http://www.untiredwithloving.org/khitab.html#handedness Peculiar ‘handedness’ is discovered within the address-switches of Qur’an which indicates a sort of symmetry-breakage that resembles the Homochirality of the organic molecules within the living organisms, as Homochirality indicates the symmetry-breakage to support life, the handedness of the Qur’anic modal-switches are there to support spiritual life! --DARA The Eyeless Lion
