Holy Quran utilizes this technique that is rich in rhetorical and semantic achievements base on the situation in which the speech is expressed. This research studies the structural rhetoric of preposition omission in some verses of Holy Quran using an analytical descriptive method. The goal is to find an explanation for the effect of proposition deletion on the meaning of the versus. We show that the deletion creates a gap in the phrases by disobeying the linguistic rules, which in turn leads to breaks. However, the deletion enriches the meaning of the phrases and makes them coherent. This guides the skilled audience to interpret multiple meanings. In the whole process, the audience fills the gaps and that in turn makes the phrases consistent while having multifaceted interpretations. The audience, in fact, assumes two or more prepositions and more possibilities. We show that most of the examples of Deletion in Holy Quran can lead to multifaceted interpretations through the assumption of several possible rules for the word deleted in the phrase.
