This research examines the rhetorical efforts in interpreting the "Mawahib al-Rahman" (Gifts of the Merciful) in the interpretation of the Qur'an by the scholar Abdul Karim al-Mudarris, revealing his attention to the science of rhetoric as an effective tool in guiding the meanings of the Qur'anic text and highlighting its figurative dimensions. The research begins by establishing the concept of rhetoric linguistically and technically, then traces the manifestations of its use in his interpretation: simile, metaphor, metonymy, and synecdoche, employing an analytical method to uncover the mechanisms of its rhetorical function. It becomes clear that al-Mudarris did not limit himself to linguistic explanation or lexical interpretation, but rather deepened the semantic reading by utilizing figurative language to highlight doctrinal, legislative, and educational meanings. Thus, his interpretation is a blend of linguistic precision, rhetorical awareness, and a purposive vision. The research concludes that the rhetorical dimension constituted a prominent feature of his interpretive methodology and contributed to enriching Qur'anic studies with a vision that combines rhetorical heritage with a comprehensive interpretive awareness.
