The Holy Quran is considered the primary and first reference for Muslims, as all the rulings and transactions mentioned in it are based on the constitution and rule that Muslims follow. The texts of the Holy Quran contain many grammatical and rhetorical structures. One of these structures is the use of prepositions to express rulings or stories mentioned in the Holy Quran. Therefore, this study seeks to review the literature that dealt with prepositions in the Holy Quran. It sought to know the contexts of previous studies in which quarter of the Holy Quran they were. And to identify the most common meanings of prepositions mentioned in these studies. This study used desk research by reviewing the librarian study of previous studies. The study found that many previous studies focused on studying prepositions from the first and third quarters of the Holy Quran. The results indicated that the high-frequency prepositions are "Lam," "Ba’," "Min," "Ala," and "Fi." These prepositions are essential for the expression of fundamental concepts such as ownership, means, origin, responsibility, and location. This study recommends conducting more studies in the context of the uses of prepositions in the Holy Quran.
