Abstract

The non-linear order of revelations is often considered by many scholars to signify lack of COHERENCE, disunity, and fragmentariness. It seems that 'coherence' and the related terms have veiled a significant linguistic feature of the Qur'an, namely, the non-linear nature of revelations, which might be used .to make a distinction between ordinary and QURANic discourse. We will argue that to unveil the non-linearity, we should consider revelations in relation to God who reveals Himself in language not as an ordinary speaker whose speech is limited to a certain context, with a beginning and an end. We should not expect God to speak like a man. The Qur'an, thus, is seen here as a non-temporal, non-linear TEXT that reflects its divine origin, by systematically destructing the spacio-temporal context and the linear order of language.
