This research is a descriptive study of the works that aimed to show the aspects of rhetorical miracle in Surat Al-Kawthar, between ancient works and modern contemporary works. Each book and research is described in a brief description, including the book’s data, then a description of its content; the most prominent issues it addressed, especially with regard to the aspect of rhetorical miracle, the results it reached, and a comparison between these works through their titles, the advantages and disadvantages of each one, and the extent to which they are influenced by each other and their influence on each other. After studying it, the researcher concluded that Surat Al-Kawthar, despite its brevity and shortness, is one of the most prominent manifestations of rhetorical miracles in the Holy Quran, and that the oldest book that has reached us in explaining the miracle of Surat Al-Kawthar in particular is the book: “The Miracle of Surat Al-Kawthar” by the scholar Al-Zamakhshari. It has become clear that the researchers who came after him benefited from it, and they discussed it in detail and explanation. The research also reached an agreement from those who wrote about the rhetorical miracle in Surat Al-Kawthar on the types of rhetorical miracles in this surah, and it showed what distinguished the previous studies in their brevity of expression, and their eloquence in expressing the aspects of rhetorical miracle, and what distinguished contemporary studies in terms of expanding the enumeration of rhetorical aspects, and applying them to the verses of Surat Al-Kawthar, and benefiting from them in specialized rhetorical and linguistic studies, and others.
