Abstract

Discourse analysis, as one of the emerging approaches in the humanities, has established a wide connection with Quranic knowledge in recent years., many schools and theories emphasize the relativity and instability of meaning. Hassan Bashir has introduced a new method called the Operational Method of Discourse Analysis (PADAM), which provides a basis for systematic, process-based analysis. The Quran, as the most fundamental religious text of Muslims, has a coherent and at the same time complex semantic system that is based on fundamental oppositions such as truth and falsehood, faith and disbelief, justice and oppression, and freedom and captivity. These dual oppositions not only organize the conceptual structure of the Quran, but also form the main framework of the "revealed discourse." The present study, within the framework of the metadiscursive space of the "Padam Method", examines the conversations of the prophets with their people in the Holy Quran. This space, rather than paying attention to the level of synchronicity of the discourse, pays attention to the temporal level, in other words, to the process of discourse evolution in different periods. The main goal is to outline the formation of the prophetic discourse in the context of confrontation with opponents through the rereading of these dialogues and to reveal the various dimensions of the prophetic discourse in contrast to the discourse of the infidels.
