الاتساق و الانسجام النصي في سورة المدثر

Abstract EN

This study aimed at illustrating the consistency and harmony of the text of the Qur'an (Surat Al-Muddathir), relying on contemporary textual (linguistic) analysis methods.

Textual consistency refers to: coherence between linguistic parts of the text; it also refers to the logical linksconnectingthe internal parts of the text, on one hand, and the text and the environment surrounding it, on the other.

In this sense, it was found that textual consistency was achieved in the text of Surat Al-Muddathiron two levels: lexical consistency and grammatical consistency.

Lexical consistency in the surat was manifested through using its two main components: repetition and alliteration.

Whereas, grammatical consistency was manifested through using several synthetic means: referral, omission, conjunction, separation, and rhythm.

Moreover, the study found that textual harmony, which refers to semantic and structural cohesion of the text and its interconnectedness, was achieved in Surat Al-Muddathir.

The most important mechanisms of textual harmony used in the Surat include: the title (Al-Muddathir), the basic idea of the text, which is establishing monotheism, text's main topics, and the special semantic relations used, including: contrast, cause and effect, generalization and specification, outlining and detailing, and rephrasing.

The research concluded that the manifestations of textual consistency and harmony in Surat Al-Muddathir were highly effective in leaving a positive impact on recipient's understandingof the text.

Therefore, it can be said that: the textual features of Surat Al-Muddathir are sufficient to describe it as an extremely coherent text.
