Abstract
Among the important and controversial issues related to the Holy Quran, is the issue of the relationship and compatibility of the verses of a surah with each other. Some orientalists have taken the lack of apparent order in the verses of a surah as the proof of the non-scientific nature of this book and its compilation over the course of history or its distortion. Some other commentators of the Holy Qur'an have tried to show the existence of the main goal or thematic unity of the Surah as a proof of proportionality by emphasizing the connection and proportionality of the verses of the Surah. In this research, by using the "thematic analysis" method, while identifying the main topics raised in one of the surahs of the Holy Quran and drawing the network of its themes, we have tried to prove the existence of proportionality and connection between the verses of the same surah. Also, let's introduce an efficient and interdisciplinary method to identify the main topic of Quranic surahs and draw their geometric structure. The results of the thematic analysis of the verses of Surah Ankabut showed that the centrality of the discussion of this surah is around the two overarching themes of "trial" and "faith", in such a way that the divine tradition is based on the test of human faith. Drawing the dimensions of this test as well as the different dimensions of a person's faith are the subcategories mentioned in this chapter.
