Abstract

One of the verses whose meaning have differently being interpreted is the verse “And We have bestowed upon thee the Seven Oft-repeated (sab'an min al-mathānī) and the Grand Qur’an.” (Ḥijr: 87). An attempt is made here to determine the meaning of this verse through a new method entitled “Strategy of paying attention to the Qur’anic co-coming concepts and topics in interpretation.” In this new method, not the subject of the verse but the subjects before and after this verse are searched in other surahs of the Qur’an, considering that these subjects are connected to what issues. In other words, what are the “Substitute” of the verse in similar continuations in other surahs of the Qur’an? The use of this method for interpreting the verse 87 of Surah Al-Ḥijr shows that the meaning of “sab’an min al-mathānī” is parts of the Qur’an that have existed in other divine books, and the meaning of “the Grand Qur’an” is parts of the Qur’an that are more than those heavenly Books.
