Abstract:

Repetitions take place in the Qur’an a lot. Hence, when speaking about repetitions in the Quran, what is repeated is an issue that needs to be clarified. In this respect, it is possible to divide repetititons in the Quran into two parts; “wording” and “meaning” repetitions. Meaning repetititons are repetitions of certain events, issues related to heaven and hell, and similar topics. Wording repetitions, on the other hand, are the repetitions of words and sentences in the same way in the same chapter or various chapters. This topic has been addressed by books and articles of Islamic shcolars responding to criticisms so far. Said Nursî, inspired by the Qur'an, has presented solutions to the humanity in his works, and closely dealt with this topic. In his works, Nursî examines the topic of Holy Qur'an Repetitions generally from the aspects of supplication, remembrance, consolation and delivering good news, deterrence, confirmation, strengthening, its relation to the universality of Qur'an and its purposes, manifestation of its miraculousness, Meccan and Madinan chapters, eloquence, persuasions and guidince and repetition of needs . Nursî has concluded that apparent repetitions are not repetitions indeed and need to exist in the Holy Qur’an.
