The numerical analysis for two-dimensional oblique stagnation point flow with the magnetohydrodynamic effects of an incompressible unsteady Jeffrey fluid model caused by an oscillatory and stretching sheet has been presented in this article. The Brownian motion and thermophoresis impacts are taken into consideration. The similarity transformation technique is implemented on the governing partial differential equations of the Jeffrey fluid model to obtain a set of nonlinear coupled ordinary differential equations and then these resulting equations are numerically computed with the help of BVP-Maple programming. The variation in the behavior of velocity, temperature, and concentration profile influenced by the governing parameters, has been explicitly explored and displayed through graphs. The numerical results are highlighted in tabular form and through these outcomes, the skin friction coefficient, Nusselt number, and Sherwood number have been investigated. These physical quantities rise for gradually increasing the Hartmann number and ratio of relaxation to retardation time. However, these reduce for gradually growing Jeffrey fluid parameter.
