| The Holy Quran is the eternal miracle of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), which has been the subject of reflection and research by various scholars, including those in the field of literary sciences. In contemporary times, various theories have emerged regarding literary texts and their analysis and evaluation. One of these theories that gained significant prominence and is still applied in the analysis of literary texts is Russian Formalism. This theory posits that the elements and components within a text are in a fundamental conflict and tension with each other, ultimately achieving balance, leading to the emergence of unity and coherence among the elements. They conclude that, despite its conciseness, this Surah employs various defamiliarization techniques such as rhetorical questioning, an unconventional narrative structure, and linguistic imagery, indicating a harmony between form and content. The contrast between the apparent grandeur and power of the army of elephants against the smallness and apparent weakness of the birds, and ultimately the triumph of divine will over seemingly insignificantly means against apparent powers, is noteworthy in this Surah. | ||

| The Holy Quran, as an eternal miracle, has been extensively studied from various literary perspectives. Russian Formalism, a prominent text-centered theory, examines how internal textual elements create conflict, tension, and ultimately achieve unity and coherence through "defamiliarization." This process elevates language from everyday usage to literary art. While Formalist principles have been applied to other Quranic surahs, a comprehensive analysis focusing on the interplay of tension, defamiliarization, and form-content harmony in Surah Al-Fil remains underexplored. This article bridges this gap by exploring these aspects in Surah Al-Fil (The Elephant). Utilizing a descriptive-analytical method, involving close textual reading and interpretation of formal devices, the study concludes that, despite its conciseness, the Surah employs various defamiliarization techniques. These include the rhetorical questioning in "أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ فَعَلَ رَبُّكَ بِأَصْحابِ الْفِيلِ" which compels reflection, an unconventional narrative structure beginning with the outcome to emphasize divine agency, and vivid linguistic imagery like "فَجَعَلَهُمْ کَعَصْفٍ مَأکول" that viscerally depicts annihilation. The striking contrast between Abraha's overwhelming army and the seemingly weak birds, culminating in divine triumph, demonstrates how formal elements profoundly amplify the core theological message, indicating a profound harmony between form and content. | ||
