Throughout history, the incoherence of the Qur'anic surahs and its sometimes fragmented structure has always provided room for doubt. Surah Al-Muddaththir is one of the surahs that, from Richard Bell's point of view, is considered as lacking coherence. He has stated the difference in style, length, and the lack of relevance of ayah 31 and the violation of man's free will in ayah 56 of this surah as proof of his claim. Therefore, this article aims to extract the factors of textuality and continuity of this surah in the light of textuality theory, using the descriptive-analytical method. The analysis of the data indicates that the text of the Holy Qurʾan has numerous and diverse linguistic and textual features and its textual sequence is not related to the length, rhythm, rhyme and place of revelation of the ayahs. Also, by examining the linguistic possibilities of intertextuality, intention/purposefulness and coherence as three criteria in the textuality of the text, it was determined that Surah Al-Muddaththir is a coherent and continuous text despite its discrete appearance. Two factors of the intertextuality of ayahs in ayah 31 of this surah justify the use of a long ayah among short ayahs through the semantic relationship with the words and phrases "companions of the fire", "iddah" and "junud". Moreover, the significant frequency of connective (additional), grammatical (reference), lexical (repetition, contrast, symmetry) factors in this surah indicates the continuity and coherence of this surah and its ayahs.

Today, with the development of sciences and flourish of linguistics issues, analysis of literary texts such as the Holy Qur'an could be considered for research topics that may open up new horizons to religious scholars and it could be a new framework in understanding religious texts. However, stylistics is one of the new sciences which aims at discovering the Holy Qur'an meanings to study rhetorical athletics of the Qur'an. Stylistics investigates deep application of rhetorical intricacies in the literary texture of the Qur'an before the Qur'anic aestheticians. Clearly, words and letters selection in the Qur'an would show the rhetorical atheists of the Qur'an and it shows that this Book is abundant with different meanings which are illustrated in forms of words. Utilizing a descriptive-analytical methods and using new stylistic criterion at four levels of phonetics , lexis, syntax and rhetoric, the researchers have found an outstanding landscape of the beauties of Muddathir chapter. The results of the study show that the criteria which show the music of this chapter are much frequent and each letter and word used in this chapter corresponds with the chapter content. Thus, Allah has used a different method to influence the audience which realizes one of the artistic realizations in the Holy Qur'an.

The theory of the "Qur’anic Twin Surahs" is one of the new efforts of Qur’anic science in proving the Qur’anic order. In this theory, the vast and essential relationship between the two Qur’anic surahs is considered. This research by using a descriptive-analytical method with the aim of displaying different kinds of relationships between al-Muzzammil and al-Muddaththir Twin Surahs, try to answer this question: “Is there any convincing evidence for this theory?” Accordingly, we tried to examine various verbal and semantic dimensions of these two surahs and the role of these studies is explained in a deeper and more accurate understanding of these two surahs. Studies show that a relationship such as the beginning and the end of the two surahs, common or close words and themes, the common addressing, the order to practice and the consequences of its departure, attention to the various dimensions of the Islamic society and so on strengthens the  structural symmetrical hypothesis of these two surahs. Most parts of the relationship between these two surahs are common subjects from different point of view in such a way that they complement each other.

There are different opinions about the first verses revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), but traditions mostly focus merely on two: the chapter al-Fatiḥah and the first verses of the chapter 'Alaq. Muslim scholars and exegetes rely only on traditions and scriptural contexts. Rather, the issue raised here is that “is it possible to prove their arguments through the means of reason, as well?” The present research, based on descriptive-analytical method, argues that although according to some traditions the first revealed verses to the Prophet (PBUH) are the first verses of the chapter ‘Alaq, since these verses indicate only to the Lord’s command for “reciting” and to some His descriptions, it is not reasonable to accept them as the first verses in the beginning of revelation. As a result, according to the intellectual and traditional arguments, it seems that the first verses of revelation were the verses of the chapter al-Ḥamd.

Scholars of rhetoric have long been regarding artistic aspects and the specific exquisite creation of, and in a word, beauty of the Quran and have expressed it in different forms. Today, perhaps the word “image” can be replace with all those views so that we can understand the secret of immortality of the Quran and its deep influence in the heart of audience in a simple language and without the use of rhetoric complicated terms. To conform the rule of “image” on the Meccan and medina chapters separately (in this case two chapters Mudathir and Munafiqun) will bring us considerable results that its outcome is the profound and precise attention of the verses of the Quran to the typology of the audience, the situation of place and time and finally proving its being a miracle. Meccan verses seek to establish the thought and in subsequence seek to penetrate a belief at the heart, so its backing must be terms with exquisite, effective and wonderful images with an overwhelming and explicit tone. In contrast, Medina verses seek to influence for pragmatism; fulfilling on the base of that established thought of audience; so, its backing must be terms with images; this time the images are less and with detailed, peaceful and widespread manner. The main objective of the present study is addressing this issue, studying its qualification and finally reaching the conclusion that it was mentioned briefly.

According to most of the exegetes the Sura of al-Muddath-thir (Q 74) is a Meccan sura and is among the first chapters revealed to Prophet Muhammad (S). Its subject mainly pivots on “warning” and “reprimanding the heathens (or unbelievers)”. This article was extracted from a thesis under the title of “Narrative exegesis of the Sura of al-Muddath-thir (74) and al-Qiyāmah (75) based on the tRaḍītions transmitted from the Ahl al-Bayt (A.S)”. After a vast examination of the opinions of the exegetes declared on the verses of this sura, it was concluded that there exists a disagreement among the exegetes for the commentary of a number of verses. The premises of this article is that in such cases one can refer to the interpretative tRaḍītions of the Prophet (S) and his pure Household who are connected to the revelation to solve these differences, prefer some opinions to others or reject certain opinions, or bring about the opinions in one way or another – considering the literal denotation of them -, or to get access to a more reliable meaning of the tRaḍītion under discussion, other than the opinions of the exegetes. In this article the apparent meanings of those verses of the Sura of al-Muddath-thir have been scrutinized on which the exegetes disagree; however, they have been explained and interpreted certain tRaḍītions quoted from the Infallibles (A.S) available in hadith collections and commentary works.

Since long ago, there has been disagreement over the first sura revealed to the Prophet as to whether Surat al-‘Alaq had been revealed to the Prophet simultaneous to his Prophetic Mission, or is it Surat al-Fatiha that has been honored to be the first Qur’anic Revelation; or whether none of these were the first sura and, rather, Surat al-Muddaththir had been the Holy Prophet’s first revelatory experience. Upon resolving the challenge to the first Revealed sura, this writing brings up the viewpoints existing on this issue and examines the evidences of each viewpoint. Then, it goes through the explanations provided for solving this challenge and presents a new solution for resolving the propounded challenge.
