Symmetry in the Quran: Setting Foundation and Application

Abstract

The idea of symmetry in the Holy Quran is determined by the fact that the construction of the Qur'an in its surah is based on a clear symmetry in which the Qur'anic chapters in the first half of the Quran are symmetrical to chapters in the second half, in terms of the number of chapters according to the number of chapters, The verses of one chapter are also symmetrical in the same way. Investigating of such arrangements would be a noble mission that offers deep understanding of the Holy Qur'an, leads to clear interpretation, helps to prove its miracles, and consistency of its order and structure of chapters and verses.

Idea of symmetry in chapters has two examples:, symmetry is found in there  beginnings, and in the beginnings of one chapter and end of the other. Symmetry among verses of a certain chapter has also to examples; symmetry in its verses and symmetry in its subjects and parts. These two kinds of symmetry would be clear beginning of a chapter and the beginning of another, and in the beginning and the end.
