An Analysis of the Battle of “Badr” Based on Grimas’ Action Model (A Study of Quranic Verses)

One of the most important aspects of the Prophetic conduct is how the Prophet (p.b.u.h.) behaved in the war and how he interacted with various enemies. On the other hand, making use of modern sciences can help to expand the interpretation of an event. One of the modern scientific concepts is various models of “narratology”. Grimas is one of the theorists in this field, who considers the structure of a narrative close to the grammatical structure of language. He believes stories have a general structure regardless of their content differences and introduces a general model with six factors to explain this structure. Using the descriptive-analytical method, this research seeks to compare the different parts of this model with the Quranic narration of the Battle of Badr in detail and provide a more systematic understanding of the events of the Battle of Badr. The findings of this study reveal that the Quran has put forward important propositions in all six parts of Grimas' action model. The pursuit of Quranic propositions shows that the Prophet (p.b.u.h.) himself is the main actor in the Battle of Badr, and the actions of other people revolve around him.
