This study examines the rhetorical analysis of the use of assonance in verses 1-50 of Surat Al-Kahf in the context of Arabic rhetoric. Surat Al-Kahf is one of the Quranic surahs that contains important stories and moral lessons. The focus of this analysis is on the use of assonance or literary patterns in these verses. This study aimed to identify the types of saj’s included in the verses of Surat Al-Kahf and to identify the differences between these types of saj’s. The methodology of this research is desk research with a descriptive approach. The descriptive approach is used because the data collected is in the form of words and not numbers. The data collection method in desk research is done by reading and recording information from the Qur’an and processing research materials. The data sources consist of primary sources, which are the Qur’an, and secondary sources which are the book Al-Saja’a fi Al-Qur’an and the book Nizam Balagha Al-Qur’an. The results showed that the use of rhyme in Surat Al-Kahf, verses 1-3, has a major role in enriching Arabic rhetoric in the Qur’an and conveying important messages to readers or listeners.
