The purpose of this paper was to analyse the selected antioxidants that are stated in the Qurʾān. The focus of this research is on the pattern of selected antioxidants in the context of Makkī and Madani āyahs to facilitate a better understanding of the concept of antioxidant in the Qurʾān. This study is a qualitative study and the approach is content analysis. Data collected through the methods of content and document analysis are thematically analysed using descriptive and analytical methods. Findings demonstrate that the pattern of antioxidants is stated in certain groupings. Further, the antioxidants are mostly stated in the context of Makkī āyahs. The implication of this study establishes that the Qurʾān discusses different issues of the antioxidants in the two contexts and the Qurʾānic consistency in the use of terminology proves a miraculous aspect of the Qurʾān.
