Substantive detection of the structure and the objective of the chapter ‘Al-Ahzab’

Nowadays, the structural analysis of the chapters in the Quran is a new approach adopted by Quran researchers. This approach serves to detect the objective and the conceptual pivot of individual chapters so as to plot their geometrical maps. It is, thus, made possible to prove the coherence and harmony of the verses in each chapter, the revelation basis of the arrangement of verses and the miraculous nature of the Quran as well as to resolve interpretation differences and find appropriate responses to the orientalists who have questioned the coherence of the Book. Of the various approaches at hand for the detection of chapter objectives, the comprehensive approach is specifically favored for its emphasis on intra- and extra-textual features. Through a descriptive-analytic method, this research seeks to substantially detect the structure and the objective of ‘Al-Ahzab’ chapter. As the results show, the chapter includes ten subjects, each with its own objective. All those subjects, however, fulfill the pivotal objective of the chapter which is to show how to obey God and the prophet in political, military, social and domestic matters on the purpose of reinforcing Muslims and Islamic leadership.
