This research examines the grammatical rules governing the non-restrictive usage of kull ('every') with indefinite nouns, focusing on occurrences in Sūrat al-Isrāʾ. It explores the role of kull in conveying meaning, and its textual functions, comparing theoretical presentations with practical usage in Qur'anic discourse. The significance of kull can be observed in particular in grammatical discussions relating to the fields of jurisprudence, uṣūl, legal rulings, and its role in constructing discourse meaning. Using a descriptive-analytical approach, this study examines the theoretical rules that govern kull and analyses its occurrences, especially in terms of its textual functions and role in the construction of meaning. It concludes that the fundamental principle of its non-restrictive usage when added to indefinite nouns indicates gender, and signifies individual universality encompassing the components of indefinite nouns by inference. Moreover, its textual functions and implications depend on various factors such as the accompanying grammatical elements, its function, the classification of the modified noun, and the syntactic structures that support it in specific contexts. A clear distinction exists between confirmed restrictive and established non-restrictive clauses in terms of both grammatical and textual function, which is crucial for constructing the referential network of a discourse and ensuring textual coherence. This distinction goes beyond that previously mentioned by grammarians and emphasises the central role of these clauses in expressing the focal point of a discourse and ensuring the grammatical and lexical formulation of Qur'anic clauses.
