This volume showcases a wide range of contemporary approaches to the identification of literary structures within Quranic surahs. Recent academic studies of the Quran have taken an increasing interest in the concept of the surah as a unity and, with it, the division of complete surahs into consecutive sections or parts.
Part One presents a series of case studies focussing on individual Quranic surahs. Nevin Reda analyzes the structure of Surat Al ?Imran (Q 3), Holger Zellentin looks at competing structures within Surat al-?Alaq (Q 96), and A.H. Mathias Zahniser provides an exploration of the ring structures that open Surat Maryam (Q 19). Part Two then focusses on three discrete aspects of the text. Nora K. Schmid assesses the changing structural function of oaths, Marianna Klar evaluates how rhythm, rhyme, and morphological parallelisms combine in order to produce texture and cohesion, while Salwa El-Awa considers the structural impact of connectives and other discourse markers with specific reference to Surat ?aha (Q 20). The final section of the volume juxtaposes contrasting attitudes to the discernment of diachronic seams. Devin Stewart examines surah-medial oracular oaths, Muhammad Abdel Haleem questions a range of instances where suggestions of disjointedness have historically been raised, and Nicolai Sinai explores the presence of redactional layers within Surat al-Nisa? (Q 4) and Surat al-Ma?idah (Q 5).
Bringing a combination of different approaches to Quran structure into a single book, written by well-established and emerging voices in Quranic studies, the work will be an invaluable resource to academics researching Islam, religious studies, and languages and literatures in general.
