A Study of al-Ma'ida Surah Register through Ultra-Linear Order (Emphasizing on Ikmāl-e Dīn, Wilāya and Tablīgh Verses)

Textual consistency theory and the function of words in context are two important linguistic approaches. In this paper, in addition to the linear and  longitudinal coherence of the verses, with a new point of view at al-Ma'ida Surah, and especially the three verses of Ikmāl-e dīn, Wilāya and Tablīgh, we will try to prove the guidance purpose of the Surah and register relevance with respect to ultra-linear and network order. Factors proving textual consistency in the Surah include: Discovering and proving the semantic and structural relationship between highly used words and discovering text coherence elements that enable each piece of speech or text act as a single text. These elements include: estrangement, goodwill and repetition of the Surah key words. Consequently, by using textual coherence factors, the register relevance in Ikmāl-e Dīn verse and also in the al-Ma'ida Surah as a whole will be proved and the lack of register theory relationship will be rejected. In this paper, an analytical method has been used.
