THEMATIC ANALYSIS OF THE CONCEPT OF TIME IN THE QURAN

Abstract

Time is represented in various forms in the Quran using a vast terminology. This study explores the diverse facets of the concept of time in the Quran through a thematical approach. The objective of the study is to examine the different chapters and verses of the Quran that discuss the time factor in a multi-faceted manner. By exploring the different themes that the Quran implies through its time terminologies, this research study investigates the perceptions of time, the significance of time, the degree of high emphasis laid in the Quran for the effective utilization of time, and the vibrant cosmological understandings. The study adopts a thematic analysis approach by using the codes to classify the data into different patterns and themes. The findings would contribute to a deeper understanding of the concept of time as described in the Quran. The study could serve as a starting point for further studies into the depth of each theme related to time as represented in the Quran.
