Narrative analysis of the story of Zakariah in the Holy Quran and the Testaments based on the narrative analysis approach of Grimas

Narratology is one of the new branches of literary studies that seek the scientific analysis of narrative texts. In the meantime, several approaches have been proposed by literary critics and semantics, one of the most frequent ones in the field is Algerdas Grimas's narratology approach, on the other hand, the study of narratives has always been part of the study of the Holy Qur'an, because a considerbale part of this sacred text is devoted to fiction and several stories are told in it. Some of them, like the story of Zechariah, have a common story with the Testaments. Therefore, in order to analyze the Qur'anic narration of Zakariah, the present study has considered the narrative approach of Grimas and has tried to achieve a scientific analysis of this text by analyzing the narrative plot of the Qur'anic narration of Zakaria, but since the texts are shaped in an intertextual relation with each other, the narrative analysis of Zakaria's testamentary narrative has also been considered in order to gain more knowledge of their storytelling style in this case by studying the narrative narrative of two stories that considered one Fabiola. Finally, while analyzing the narrative of the two narrations, the intertextual connection between these two explicit texts and the attention of the Holy Quran to the Old Testament story is revealed.
