Abstract

The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the circumstance and context of revelation of the Holy Qur’an considering the text and language of the Qur’an. Problem statement includes the contrasts and challenges between the two methods of considering the circumstance and context of revelation. One method seeks to investigate the circumstance and context of revelation somewhere beyond the text of the Qur’an, and the other method considers the Qur'anic text. Here arises the question: "Is it possible to understand the circumstance and context of revelation of the Qur'an through the verses and the language used?" Assuming the answer is yes, "it is possible to understand the circumstance and context through verses or the “linguistic context”. Hence, using a descriptive and analytical method and linguistic analysis, such as "reality language "and" referential language ", the relevant verses were examined. The results of the study answered the research question and confirmed the hypothesis to a great extent. The implications of the study supported the interpretation theories of “Interpretation of the Qur'an by the Qur'an” and “Ma’soor interpretation”.
