Abstract | ||
In the interpretative approach of "surah as a continuous unit", surahs of Holy Qurʾān have a coherent and regular structure, so for a better understanding of each surah, attention should be paid to its overall spirit and structure. With this holistic approach, it is possible to discover the coherent and harmonious connection between the verses of the Surah, and through the examination of the text and the verbal, literary and content connections of the Surah, we can obtain its structure and interpret its components by extracting the central theme of the Surah. In this method, known as structural interpretation, verses are first divided into paragraphs. From the beginning of the structural interpretation method, all steps are based on spiritual evidence and the interpreter's perspective, and this is the point of disagreement in the result. For this purpose, in a descriptive-analytical method, first of all, the verses are paragraphed, then the contextual paragraphs with "thematic" or "narrative" unity form a "chapter". In this article, based on verbal signs and paragraph writing principles, without regard to the content of the verses, "Surah Aḥzāb" is divided into paragraphs in a new way, and then using the same principles to determine the scope of the chapters and the central topic of the surah and even the introduction and the end of the surah is extracted. As a result, the rules proposed in this study are effective and fruitful in paragraphing, determining chapters, and extracting the central theme of the surah. | ||
