Critical analysis of the theory of "thematic unity" in the AlAsas fi Altafsir

The discussion of the appropriateness between the verses of the Qur'an has long been discussed among Qur'anic scholars and commentators, and several works have been presented in this regard. Saeed Hawi's view of thematic unity in the basis of interpretation in expressing the relationship and appropriateness of Quranic verses deserves to be evaluated and criticized. The two main pillars of his theory of thematic unity, one is the confinement of the current order of the suras in the Mus'haf and the other is the trust in the narrations regarding the four divisions of the Holy Qur'an into "Saba Tawal", "Ma'in", "Masani" and "Mufassal". Is.In this research, which is organized by descriptive and analytical methods, it was found that neither of the above two pillars is reliable; It is not certain that the order of the chapters in the current Mus'haf is forbidden, nor are the narrations of the quatrain division of the Qur'anic chapters in line with his purpose. In terms of method, his theory, which is based on the division of various clauses on the verses of the Qur'an with the focus on Surah Al-Baqarah, faces several challenges! In addition, his commentary has not been able to provide a pure and unique commentary based on this theory, so that the application of this theory in the basis of the commentary has not created a different commentary from previous commentaries.
