| Summary: | This paper looks at several works of tafsīr that identify naẓm, or coherence, as a significant feature of the Qur’ān. The authors whose works are examined are Ṭabarī, Rāzī, Biqā‘ī, and Farāhī and Iṣlāḥī—the last two, teacher and student, discussed together. It is concluded that modern tafsīr, compared with traditional tafsīr, is more accepting of the idea of naẓm in the Qur’ān, and that the Farāhī-Islāḥī view of Qur’anic naẓm is more plausible than the views of the other exegetes studied. |
