The beauties and subtleties of Quranic expressions witness to the fact that the holy Quran is a technical, delicate, beyond temporal and superhuman wording havig a coherent and uncomparable context. Takingstylistic study into consideration and adpopting a descriptive – analytical method at four levels i.e. phonetic, semantic, syntactic, and imagery, the present article undertakes explaining Sura Maryam. At the phonetic level, there is a kind of harmony and measure in the music and cadence of this Sura. Repetition of certain phonemes and words has plyed a big role in adding to the beautiful cadence and forcefulness of the Sura as well as its melodious aspect. Imagery has been used in this Sura towards the internalization of the intendedmessages in the minds of addressees, and variousideas have been conveyed in a sensational way. There are two kinds of imagery in this Sura: real and rhetorical.
