Examine the overarching structural coherence and placement logic across all 114 chapters of the received Qur'anic text using an analytical macro-framework.
Evaluated chapter sequences and whole-book divisions using the analytical framework of the modern Farāhī-Iṣlāḥī lineage.
Analyzed structural boundaries across convergent textual markers, including opening and closing formulas, thematic transitions, addressee shifts, recurring vocabulary, and narrative clusters.
Identified a seven-movement macro-architecture that progresses systematically from community formation and legal covenants to prophetic history, community character, and final warnings.
Demonstrated that chapter placement functions as an explanatory hypothesis linking thematic pairs, framing units, and thematic transitions from the opening al-Fātiḥah to the concluding al-Nās.
