Abstract

The Holy Qur’an has a single source and there is no difference between its verses. Therefore, some Surahs of the Holy Qur’an may be put together to get a better understanding of them. And based on the method of verbal and spiritual analogies, one Surah should be placed at the center and the its connection with other Surahs of the Holy Qur’an would be discovered. “The network connection of the Surahs of the Qur’an” is a new term that speaks of the structural and content relation between Surahs. The methods of network connections between the Surahs of the Holy Qur’an can be summarized in the thematic congruence between adjacent Surahs, congruence between a set of Surahs, congruence between the beginning of a Surah and the end of the previous one, congruence between two consecutive Surahs at the beginning or end, rhyme, common purpose, and common theme. This research analyzes the network connections of Surah al-Inshiqāq with its adjacent Surahs (Al-Infitār, Mutaffifīn, Burūj, Tāriq) with a descriptive analytical method in two aspects of structural and content congruence. In conclusion, this Surah has structural and literary connections, including the congruence of the beginning, rhyme, analogy, and literary imagery, which all are in one structural group. The research also shows that this Surah has content connections including the Unity of God, mentioning the events of the Day of Judgment, grouping of people in the Day of Judgment, and common purpose

Abstract [Persian]

قرآن‌کریم، منشأ واحدی دارد و میان آیات آن، اختلافی وجود ندارد؛ بنابراین می‌توان بعضی از سوره‌های قرآن‌کریم را در کنار هم قرار داد تا درک بهتری از آنها به‌ دست آید. برای این کار می‌توان یک سوره را مبنا قرار داد. و براساس روش نظایر لفظی و معنوی ارتباط آن را با دیگر سوره‌های قرآن‌کریم، کشف کرد. تعبیر پیوستگی شبکه‌ای سوره‌های قرآن اصطلاح جدیدی است که از ارتباط ساختاری و محتوایی میان سوره‌ها سخن می‌گوید. روش‌های پیوستگی‌های شبکه‌ای میان سوره‌های قرآن‌کریم را در تناسب مضمونی میان سور همجوار، تناسب میان مجموعه‌ای از سور، تناسب آغاز سوره با پایان سوره پیشین، تناسب دو سوره پیاپی در شروع یا پایان، سجع، غرض مشترک و موضوع مشترک می‌توان خلاصه کرد. این تحقیق با روش توصیفی تحلیلی پیوستگی‌های شبکه‌ای سوره انشقاق با سور همجوارش (سوره انفطار، سوره مطّففین، سوره بروج، سوره طارق) را در دو جنبه تناسب ساختاری و محتوایی مورد بررسی قرار داده ‌است. پژوهش بدست داده‌ است که این سور دارای پیوستگی‌های ساختاری و ادبی شامل همسانی سرآغاز، سجع، تشبیه، تصویرپردازی‌های ادبی هستند که همه آنها را در یک گروه ساختاری جای می‌دهد؛ همچنین تحقیق به دست داده ‌است که این سور دارای پیوستگی‌های محتوایی شامل توحید ربوبی، ذکر حوادث قیامت، گروه‌بندی انسان‌ها در قیامت و غرض مشترک هستند.
