To establish a rigorous methodological framework and controlled vocabulary for evaluating the intentional textual sequence and literary coherence of the received Qur'anic arrangement.
Defined structural analytical categories as testable research tools, including naẓm (coherence), munāsabah (inter-unit relations), ʿamūd (central thematic axis), surah unity, placement logic, and discourse movement.
Synthesized classical exegetical traditions on tanāsub (such as al-Biqāʿī and Farāhī) with modern structural and literary Qur'anic studies (such as Cuypers, Robinson, and Farrin).
Evaluated scholarly disagreements on textual segmentation, symmetry, macro-groupings, and chronology to create evidence-based criteria for coherence claims.
Formulated an evidence-based vocabulary that distinguishes disciplined textual analysis from devotional assumptions of structural unity.
Demonstrated how non-chronological textual sequence operates through overarching thematic axes and deliberate placement logic rather than linear narrative progression.
