Representation of Coherence in the Story of Ibrahim Peace Be Upon him Based on Discourse Semantics Sign Analysis
From among the important and old approaches of Quran scholars is thinking about the language and the ways of understanding and interpreting its extensive text that has different artistic, religious, and cognitive aspects. One of these approaches is the linguistic and literary approach to Quran about which many persons such as Seyyed Ghotb, Mostanser Mir, Nil Robinson, Izutsu, Anglika Noyort have compiled a set of plans and books. With advance in the analysis of different issues of linguistics and semiotics in different texts, it might be understood that the text of holy Quran and especially Quranic stories include many of linguistic techniques to convey and induce its sublime concepts. However, this aspect has less been dealt with. By analyzing the story of Ibrahim (peace be upon him) based on discourse semantics signs analysis, the present study tries to investigate and examine different discourse systems such as prescriptive, cognitive-interaction and tension and obtains interesting findings that highlight the elevation of structure and meanings of the story and confirms a body-like unity on the surface and a unique coherence in meaning. Given the point that in this study, the researchers are not to know about the values of Quranic stories for having these discourse systems, but just intend to manifest and highlight this dimension of discourse systems in structure and meaning of Quranic stories
Discovering the Dimensions and Components of Interpretive Narrations Related to the Surat al Isra of The Holy Quran
Recognition of the elements of the interpretive narrations by using scientific methods will open the way to a comprehensive understanding of the words of the Fourteen Infallibles (S.A.). This way in which accessing, analyzing and discussing the most important subjects focused by the Holy Prophet (S) and the other infallibles (A.S.) prepares the ground for starting a discussion and hypothesizing. This research tries to answer the question, what dimensions and components the interpretive narrations of the Sūrat al-Isrᾱ of the Holy Qur'an have and how they are distributed in the phrases. Allocating about half of the narrations to the recognition of the true guides indicates that the necessity of giving insight and awareness with regard to the station of the prophets, especially the Prophet of Islam (S), the Imamate and Ahl al-bayt (A.S.) was focused by the Infallibles.
