Coherence in The Quran

Description

A scholarly study of the theory of coherence (nazm) in the Quran developed by Amin Ahsan Islahi in his Urdu commentary Tadabbur-i-Qur'an. Based on the author's doctoral dissertation at the University of Michigan, it traces the history of the idea of nazm and examines its main elements: the unity of the surah, the surah pair, and the surah group. It also assesses the significance of this approach for Quran interpretation. Suitable for students and scholars of Quranic studies and tafsir.
