A Critical Analysis of Commentators’ Views concerning the Concept of the Quranic Verse "yakhruju min bayni’s sulbi wa?t tara’ib"

Author

Abstract

Different and sometimes contradictory views of commentators are indicative of a drastic diversity of opinions on the concept of the verse " yakhruju min bayni’s sulbi wa’t tara’ib". meaning "issuing between the loins and the breast – bones" (Sura 86, 7). These conflicts may be resolved through discovering the consistent relation of verses and determining the ultimate goal of the Sura. It is only in this case that a desirable semantic relation is established between the concept of verses 5-7 of this Sura on the one side and that of verse 8 on the other.
