The Course of the Historical Development of the Qur'anic Interval

Since the Qur'an is the word of God and has great honor and greatness, religious scholars believed that the use of terms such as "Naskh" and "Rhyme" which were common among people, is not permissible for the Qur'an. Therefore, the term "distance" was used by adapting it from the Qur'an itself. The spread of this term was accompanied by ups and downs at the beginning, but gradually it stood on its own feet and was noticed as a scientific science of the Qur'an. This article, with a descriptive-analytical method, seeks to answer the basic question of how this term came about and how it was defined throughout history. According to the available documents, it shoald be said that the word "interval" was used for the first time by Saibawaieh for the ending of the verses, and after him, Zajjaj brought it up next to the beginning of the verse. Rommani is also the first person who officially and seriously defined it and expanded it. In the contemporary era, there have been changes in the definition of the past.
