The Narratological criticism of the story of Jesus (PBUH) in the Quran based on the theory of Gerard Genette and the component of time.

Narrating the stories in the Qur'an has been one of the educational methods used to learn lessons, achieve a better life, and avoid past mistakes by using the history of past nations. These stories have been examined by researchers, commentators, and historians from different aspects, but due to the novelty of the literary structuralist theories, they have not been applied from this point of view. The current study, through an analytical-descriptive method with the aim of structural analysis, has addressed the response to the question of whether the time component of Gérard Genette's theory has also appeared in the Qur'anic story of Jesus. And this story from the point of view of this structuralist theorist in the component of time and its subsets, including retrospective and prospective methods of anachronism, frequency and its types, as well as its duration and details, has been investigated and analyzed. In the discussed verses, there are various anachronisms. These anachronisms are often in the form of external, internal, and composite. The dominant frequency of this story is repetition, although in a few cases, a singular or narrator frequency is also observed. In most cases, duration is in the form of an ellipsis and summary, followed by a descriptive pause and a scene.
