On remembrance and memory in the Holy Quran

Author's name: Heba Mashhour

For decades, the poetics of the Qur'anic text have been at the forefront of research in Arab culture, particularly with the emergence of stylistic linguistic studies, particularly rhetoric. Rhetoric is the science of discourse and the word par excellence. For example, Al-Jurjani, in some of his books, and Al-Razi in his Tafsir (exegesis), presented models for interpretation based on Qur'anic vocabulary, stylistic constructions, or the structure of its narratives. As for works related to the miraculous nature of the Qur'anic text, they continue to flourish to this day. On the other hand, the specific approach to the Qur'an has been liberated from the framework of traditional, purely theoretical interpretations focused solely on the doctrinal aspect.
