A Review of Repetition in the Qur'an from Blackwell's Handbook of the Qur'an

Criticism and response to the views of Orientalists regarding the Holy Qur’an has always been one of the concerns of Muslim Qur’anic researchers. According to Muslims’ belief, the Qur'an is the word of God and its word and text have full authority; But Orientalists, while not denying this point, raise doubts about the text of the Holy Quran. One of the doubts of Orientalists is that they have considered the repetition of verses of the Qur'an as a reason for the non-revelation of the Qur'an; Because, according to them, repetition in the Qur'an has caused confusion, incoherence and ambiguity in the text of the Qur'an. Such an inference is preceded by several factors, including: the presumption that the Qur'an is non-revelatory, incomplete reference to the Qur'an, a inconsequent interpretation of the Qur'anic text, and disregard for the expressive methods and educational purposes of the Holy Qur'an from repeating verses; Because the educational goals determine the expressive methods of the Qur'an, in accordance with the needs of the audience and the expressive situations of the word. Since guidance and pedagogy is one of the important goals of the Holy Quran, repetition has been considered as one of the effective methods of pedagogy in the Quran and goals such as incitement and stimulation, remarking and reminding, consolidation, empathy, threat, warning and recommending role-model have been envisaged. What can be said is that the repetition of a subject, in each position, has a special mission and pursues a specific goal that can be achieved only by knowing the language of the Qur'an and its subtleties and remarks, as well as understanding the purposes and methods of expression of the Qur'an.
