چکیده:
One of the important topics in the history of the Quran is the issue of the order of Quranic verses and the quality of their sequence. This subject has always been discussed and examined by commentators and scholars of Quranic sciences since the first century of Islamic history. A large number of these Quranic researchers believed that the order of the Quranic verses is divinely ordained (tawqifi), while others accepted the view that it is based on ijtihad (reasoning). Meanwhile, a small group opted for a detailed approach and chose a third opinion. What is currently being researched and evaluated is the discussion and examination of the late Tabataba'i's perspective in this field and its critique and review.
خلاصه ماشینی:
Regarding the two terms "Tawqifi" and "Ijtihadi" It is appropriate, before presenting the main subject, to briefly explain the two terms used in the present discussion: First is the word "Tawqifi," which refers to the order and arrangement of the Quranic verses and Surahs that has occurred solely through the inspiration of revelation and divine inspiration, and the Prophet (PBUH) has announced to his companions and followers where the place of each Surah and verse should be; the other is the term "Ijtihadi," which means that the order of verses and Surahs is unrelated to divine revelation, but rather has been brought into its current form through the personal ijtihad (independent reasoning) of the companions.
Before we proceed to examine this viewpoint, it is appropriate to present the opinion of one of the prominent contemporary Quranic scholars regarding the order of the verses, who holds a different view on whether it is divinely ordained or based on ijtihad, and divides the arrangement of verses into three categories: "First, 'natural order', which was carried out by God Almighty, such as verses that were revealed consecutively, or the order of verses in those short Surahs that were revealed all at once; second, 'determined order', meaning that since some verses did not possess the characteristics of the first type, they were placed in specific positions by the command of the Prophet (s); and third, 'ijtihadi order' or positional change, meaning that sometimes a scribe was absent, and when he returned, he would place the revealed verses following those same previous verses, and this very matter caused a change in some verses during the compilation of the Quran.
