Dolayisiyla politik bir soylemin parcasidir ve pratik yonu on plandadir. Bu âyetler, ozellikle Mekke doneminde kulun ozgur iradesi uzerinden tartisilmamistir.

Arab social identity was constructed on the contradiction between illiterate Arabs and the people of the scripture. Ka'bah was the central symbol. But Arabs were emulating thelr neigbbours and they were desiring to achieve a scripture like them. This caused a big tension in their mind until Qur'an. When the Qur'an came, it was imagined as a suggestion about changing the settled illiterale social identity, its symbol and reference with a scripture. Politically, it caused a social split. After this identity stage, Arabs preferred the Qur'an/new scıipture as base of identity. But this stage suggests for the new scripture an (even though it was being written) illiterate, valid, practical structure. The Prophet made the Qur'an felt and concealed by his self presence. In the last stage, when the Prophet (the concrete base of the identity and the scripture) died, illiterate muslim Arabs needed a literally standardized whole scripture. The Qur'an started to be imagined as an officially wholly and literally concealed and therefore unique valid scripture.

The most important cause is that they move in the influence of different factors from the historical concern. Some social and individual expectations for the Qur’an designate our image and understanding thesis of Qur’an. Different expectations also cause alternative Qur’an images come out. It is a null claim to achieve the essential character/true image of the Qur’an and to accept it as a criterion about the Qur’an understanding process. We need to be aware of this and to channel our academic studies about the Qur’an and tafseer imaginations of Muslims. Thus we can obtain a common ground on which we will outcome the results from historical data about whether the Qur’an understanding tradition has got a method in the past or not.

Through the published books, the oldest of which is that of Muqatil, we can get valuable information about the inception and trajectory of this literature. The legacy of al-wujuh wa'n-nazair has been reproduced and enriched almost in every generation. The transformation in al-wujuh wa'n-nazair literature is not confined to the addition of new chapter headings; rather, it extends to the method of the classification of the works. These works turned gradually to lexicographical studies. The authors of this literature might have benefited from a few ways of narration. Furthermore, one can observe the influence of different linguistic schools on this literature.

For this we will use a method that matches the chronological knowledge we have and the expression patterns contained in the Qur'anic passages. In fact, it is argued that we can more accurately detect the chronology of expressions rather than the chronology data of passages on the basis of this method. Because the data concerning the history of Qur'anic passages are insufficient and controversial. We can be closer to the truth if we test the contradictions and alliances of the narrations and the evaluations at the level that the narrators and evaluaters never planned, that is, at the level of expression. Then we can use the history of different expression patterns to determine the history of any passage that brings them together.

As far as I understand, these verses seem to be characteristic expressions of the Qur'anic discourse, declaring that the Muslim community is chosen by the di vi ne will. Therefore, they are part of the political discourse and of a practical character. These verses were not discussed in the cantext of the free w ili of the human being especially in the Meccan period. On the other hand, it is probable that theMuslimsin the later periods mig ht have had different concerns in referring to the verses in question. The histarical perspective appreciates the studies that are intended to investigate and deseribe the mentality of the fallawing periods as valuable as those which focus on the mental character of the revelation period.
