Analysis of the internal coherence of Surah Al-Isra '

Abstract

Explaining the inner coherence of Quranic verses in the face of verse fragmentation is one of the concerns of contemporary commentators. Identifying the lines of communication of the verses in a surah leads to understanding the close connection of the verses with each other and achieving the purpose of that surah and is a new method in interpreting the Qur'an. In this article, using the content analysis method, the internal coherence of the verses of Surah Al-Isra 'has been examined. The main topics discussed in Surah al-Isra 'are the Children of Israel, the Muslim Ummah, and the Divine Promise. In this surah, while mentioning the moments of the life of the people of Israel and their excuses and learning lessons from them, Muslims are invited to monotheism and accept the divine authority and are warned to return to the ignorant culture, deny the mission, and deny the divine revelations. Finally, the advent of the promise of God's righteousness is the good news given to both the people, the Muslims and the children of Israel. By analyzing the content of Surah Al-Isra ', the important purpose of Surah Al-Isra', which is to invite people to prepare for the fulfillment of God's promise, is understood.
