Does the Qur'an have an introduction, a prelude, and an epilogue at the level of the surahs and the Book?
The Quran is the miraculous Word of Allah, with which He challenged humans and jinn to produce its like. It cannot be compared to human speech, no matter how eloquent, because its miraculous nature is unending, and it differs from any human writing or expression.
Scholars have examined the Quran from the perspective of the unity of its overarching themes, which ultimately return to the Oneness of Allah. For this reason, it begins with Al-Fatihah, which encompasses the lofty objectives of the Quran.
Furthermore, scholars investigate the arrangement of the Quranic surahs and their interrelationship, asserting that the order of the surahs in the is divinely ordained, stemming from divine wisdom. They affirm that its miraculous coherence is not limited to its structural composition but extends to its sequential arrangement and the relationships between the surahs. This is what distinguishes the Quran, despite its piecemeal revelation.
