This research aims to study three main issues: First, to define the concept of the variation of expressions, its purpose, and outline its types. Second, to clarify the concept of contemplation (Tafakkur), review its examples, significance, fields, and objectives. Third, to analyse the areas of the variation of expressions in the verses of contemplation and highlight its impact on educating oneself. The significance of the study is found in reviving the term variation in the Quran and highlighting its eloquence, which opens new horizons for contemplating the Quran and understanding its meanings more deeply. Thus, it positively affects individuals, strengthens social cohesion, and deepens the connection with the Quran. This study was conducted using two methodologies: the inductive and analytical methods. The inductive method involved gathering materials related to the variation of expressions and collecting texts that deal with the concept of contemplation in the Quran. The analytical method was employed to study the collected information regarding the variation of expressions in the contemplation verses, analyse the variation aspects of these verses, and identify outcomes that help Muslims in self-education. The research reached several conclusions, including the understanding of variation in the Quran, which encompasses clarification, explanation, repetition, variety, and diversification. Its objectives include enhancing understanding, remembrance, devotion, and repentance. 2. The importance of contemplation lies in God’s honouring of humankind above all other creations, where contemplation is considered the light of faith and one of the best deeds. It is the cornerstone of building and advancing civilisation. 3. Understanding the various elements in the contemplation verses helps nurture preachers following a practical method for calling others to God. Through comprehending these elements in the Quran, multiple strategies can be developed to enhance the effectiveness of da’wah (inviting others to Islam). The study concluded with several recommendations.
