Abstract. The Holy Quran, which is likened to a multifaceted charter, is considered the miracle of Holy Prophet (PBUH). Binary oppositions such as soul and body, night and day, rationality and sensibility, man and woman, etc. have been considered among controversial topics from ancient times until now. In this paper, binary oppositions in the Holy Chapter Al-Lail were investigated. Besides, it was attempted to make use of the Holy Quran manuscripts in order to collate pairs of words and binary oppositions in the color of epigraphs (including designs, background and framework). Next, it was attempted to extract the music associated with the Holy Chapter Al-Lail through matching the color of each binary opposition to the corresponding musical notes. Actually, this research made use of library and documentation methods in order to establish a connection between theology and arts so that the function of binary
oppositions in the Holy Quran might be explained. The results showed that there were 8 binary oppositions in the Holy Chapter Al-Lail. The forenamed binary oppositions were collated with binary oppositions in the color of epigraphs as Lail and Nahar (Night and Day), Yaqsha and Tajalla (Veil and Reveal) with azure and golden, Zakara and follows: Onsa (Male and Female) with light red and green, A’ta and Bakhel (Munificence and Stinginess), Ettaqa and Estaqna (Abstinence and Independence), Saddaqa and Kazzaba (Belief and Disbelief) with white and black, Yosra and Osra (Convenience and Hardness) with light blue and orange and Akherah and Olaa (Hereafter and Pristine) with purple and
light yellow, dark yellow and dark green. In addition, each color was associated with its own musical note and, thus, a beautiful music was generated for the Holy Chapter Al-Lail. The musical notes corresponding to each color as well as binary oppositions in this Chapter were articulated as follows: Lail and Nahar, Yaqsha and Tajalla were collated with “La” and “Mi”, respectively. A’ta and Bakhel, Ettaqa and Estaqna, Saddaqa and Kazzaba were collated with “Si” and “Mute” and, Yosra and Osra were collated with “Sol” and “Re”, respectively. Finally, Akherah and Olaa were collated
with “Si” and “Mi” (Praised World) and “Mi” and “Fa” (Reprimanded World).
Key words: Binary oppositions, Chapter Al-Lail, comparative investigation, color of epigraph, musical note.
