This research investigates the pattern of co-occurrence of divine attributes at the end of Quranic verses. The main question is what specific order or rule governs the combination and sequence of these paired attributes. Inspired by the concept of "chemical affinity" from chemistry, the hypothesis of this study is that the divine attributes in the Quran follow rules similar to the periodic table of elements; meaning that each attribute has a specific " Combinatorial Inclination" with other attributes. To test this hypothesis, data related to the endings of verses were extracted and categorized using systematic content analysis.
The findings indicate that the divine attributes possess varying ranges and intensities of combinatorial affinity; such that some attributes frequently appear together, while others never co-occur. Furthermore, the sequence of these attributes follows fixed or fluid patterns that are linked to the verse's context and Quranic cadences. This discovery not only illuminates the literary aesthetics of the Quran but also provides a foundation for deeper studies in the fields of Quranic exegesis, linguistics, and even the systematization of theological concepts based on the Quran.
