QASAS AL-QUR`ĀN DALAM SUDUT PANDANG PRINSIP-PRINSIP STRUKTURALISME DAN NARASI (Pengantar Studi Sastra Narasi al-Qur`an)

Abstract

Literary appreciation to the Koran becomes a fundamentalidea in this study. Literary appreciation is used, because theKoran is a glorious Arabic literary bible which is stronglybelieved in its perfection and beauty. The object of thisparadigm is not the unwritten words of Allah, but that ofAllah that have been recorded in Arabic media, written inmusha and communicated by human being. The maingoals of this study are analyzing qasas al-Qur’ān from theaspect of principal structuralism and narrative theory.Analyzing qasas al-Qur’ān from this view is in harmonywith tartīb al-āyāt theory and unity story theory by surah ofKhalafullāh, and Qusb narration of classification. Thisanalysis proposes three classifications of qasas al-Qur’ān andthey are different from, for example, Manna’ al-Qassān,Mussafā Sulaimān, Khalafullāh, yet they share something incommon with classification of Qasb. These classificationsare: the first is one narration in one surah, the second is thecollection of short narrations in a sequence of the surah, andthe third is the collection of short narration in non-sequenceof surah. These classifications become in harmony with theKoranic order, which collects its verses in one surah, instead of collecting themes from various surah.
