Explaining and Analyzing the Communication Levels of the Holy Quran and Drawing its Communication Model as a Communication Process

Abstract

Despite all the interdisciplinary research between religion and communication sciences, few have studied the Qur'an itself as a communication phenomenon. And none of them have explained, analyzed and drawn the communication model of the Holy Quran. Given the importance of this issue and in line with the Islamization of the humanities, in this research different levels of Quranic communication levels are explained and analyzed and the comprehensive model of the communication process of the Holy Quran is based on it. To achieve this goal, the data was collected through library method and they were processed by the method of seeking answers from the Quran itself. In other words, human theories and achievements have been presented to, not imposed on, the verses of the Qur'an and in a few steps, the Quranic views related to them have been extracted and arranged. In this study, in addition to explaining the communication levels of the Quran and the communication elements involved in each level and also drawing the three-stage communication model of the Quran based on it, it was found that, firstly, the communication levels of the Qur'an are: Level of revelatory communication (interpersonal communication), oral Quran (group and social communication), written Quran (collective and media communication). Secondly, contrary to popular belief, the communication process of the Holy Quran at all levels is a two-way learning process. Thirdly, the Holy Qur'an has evolved from an interpersonal communication into a comprehensive mass media through a careful and planned process.
