Abstract

"Time" has an important place in interpretive studies and Quranic sciences; "Time" with titles such as Maki Madani and the order of revelation, has always been at the forefront of interpretive discussions. The category of as Maki Madani actually refers to the Qur'anic time in the form of two general periods, and the order of revelation also examines the Qur'anic time in detail. Despite the importance of time, in the eyes of Qur'anic scholars and its obvious role in Qur'anic studies, research in Arabic-Qur'anic literature has not paid much attention to this issue, and this issue has caused them disruption and challenge.
Representation and re-reading of possible disruptions can persuade future researchers to pay attention to the category of time. This was the motivation that eventually led to the choice of this title. As two important fields of literary studies - Quranic - were extracted randomly and examined in terms of attention and lack of attention to the category of "time". It is worth mentioning that in the present study, meta-analysis and statistical methods have been used.
The results showed; In both fiction and thematic studies, a very low percentage of researchers have paid attention to the category of "time", which has led to shortcomings; The disadvantages observed in fiction studies are: ignoring the innovations of the Qur'anic story, disrupting the implementation of some analytical models, marginalizing the Qur'anic intentions and breaking the Qur'anic model in the analytical model. Thematic studies can also address these challenges: example mining instead of text mining and disruption in some analytical models.
