Thematic coherence between the Chapters about the eschatological matters of heaven and earth

Abstract

   This study addresses the issue of the thematic coherence between the Chapters that discuss the eschatological matters of the heavens and the earth, which were mentioned in twenty-three Chapters. It first aimed to show the thematic unity of each individual Chapter, then to reveal the thematic coherence of each group of Surahs, then the thematic coherence of all the Surahs, according to the inductive method, then analysis and deduction. Among its findings: The same Qur'anic theme, even though it is sporadically mentioned in the Holy Qur'an, constitutes in its entirety a thematic coherence and an integrated cohesion that is revealed through the Qur'anic arrangement of this theme, leading to Qur'anic guidance. After a gradual study of the thematic cohesion between each group of suras, I concluded that the suras in their integrated thematic summary and Qur'anic guidance came: To adjust the scales of the Muslim's preparation of his function according to the features of the path of guidance defined by the Holy Qur'an, and to divide people accordingly.
