An exploration of storytelling and narrative devices in the
Qur'anIn this book, Leyla Ozgur Alhassen approaches the Qur'an as a
literary, religious and oral text that affects its audience. She
looks at how Qur'anic stories function as narrative: how characters
and dialogues are portrayed; what themes are repeated; what verbal
echoes and conceptual links are present; what structure is
established; and what beliefs these narrative choices strengthen.
And she argues that in the Qur'an, some narrative features that are
otherwise puzzling can be seen as instances in which God, as the
narrator, centres himself while putting the audience in its place.
In essence, this makes the act of reading an interaction between
God and the audience.Qur'anic Stories demonstrates that a
narratological and rhetorical approach to the canonised text can
contribute new insights to our understanding of the Qur'an and its
worldview.
