The appearance of the form in Quranic sermons An analytical study in civil transfer

Abstract

The research addresses the issue of the form of discourse in the Medinan revelation of the Quran. As a central aspect of the revelation and another foundational element, the Quranic text navigated through somewhat distinct characteristics and environments. This situation caused the discourse to align with the concurrent transitional phase. This, in itself, constituted a point of focus and inquiry among scholars and others; the complexity increased due to its relative divergence when compared to the previous revelation (Meccan). The research aims to track the most prominent features (length and brevity, verse endings, repetition, and oaths), considering them as the main pillars in this revelation and exploring the diversity in the discourse. The research thus moves to analyze these phenomena in the discourse and highlight their core elements, providing an explanation that we believe offers convincing answers to the posed questions. 1- The researcher monitored the short and long places in the verses of the civil discourse, and it became clear that the phenomenon moves with three pillars (the subject, the case, and the nature of the addressees), and the latter, although it has a slight effect on the scope of the discourse, contributes indirectly to making the discourse longer. The matter became clear when the research reviewed the long places, and found that they require elaboration for the purpose of detail. 2- The researcher stopped at the models of the commas in its civil revelation and determined the form and nature therein, and it became clear that it constitutes an important axis in the verse. The grammatical structure indicates that it is an almost independent sentence at the end of the verse, which made its diversity come from the length of the Qur’anic discourse in this revelation. The short part of the speech in its Medinan revelation, such as Surah (Al-Nasr), for example, resembles the breaks of the Meccan revelation in terms of form.

3- The axis of repetition in the Medinan revelation formed a relatively smaller circle than the Meccan speech; this is due to the issues for which the repetition is held, and the circle of this revelation is smaller if compared to the Meccan revelation. As for the repetition of the story in this revelation, it came in a way that serves the repeated goal. The repetition of the story of Moses is determined by the desired purpose.

4- The section came in a different way in this revelation and was held around issues that the speech seeks to emphasize and raise the level of certainty in them. The researcher monitored models of the Medinan revelation and found that they are consistent with the details that appeared in the Islamic call in its Medinan revelation.
