Abstract

The Holy Qur'an is in touch with his audience using various epistemological, descriptive and commendatory dimensions. One of the epistemological aspects in the descriptive scope is the method of Qur'an narration techniques. Due to the interpretive exegetes' attempts in interpretation of the verses 40-45 of the Hud Chapter as a case which relates the conversation of the Lord of Storm with his son and supplicating for his rid of the storm, it is not clear that how in such a rough situation, in which the ship has been among the violent storm, such a conversation between them could have been taken place? Or when the storm had finished, what does it mean that Prophet Noah prayed for his son's rid of the storm in such a narration? According to the Qur'an narration, such events have not followed a system based on linear sequence or periodical systems and we may witness a kind of temporal distress in the narration process. Using a narratological mechanism and the narrator's viewpoints technique, plot and the structure and rules governing it, the author has investigated this issue. Due to the use of a descriptive-analytical method for narration analysis, characters interactions, and the situations of storm narration as an event in conformity with temporal linear sequence in the level of discourse, the researcher believes that temporal distress is not valid.
