“Models of Communication in the Qur’an: Divine-Human Interaction”
Zakyi ibrahim
Abstract Of Title
This study uses models of communication, defined as “structures of symbols and
rules designed to corresond to the relevant points of an existing structure or process” to explain the
process of communication between God and human beings. The invisibility of God to
human beings, coupled with His difference in nature, appear to make such interaction
difficult -but not impossible- to conceive.
A general communication model is constructed in accordance with Qur’an
42:51. later, specific models are drawn according to the verse’s segments. Each model is
elaborated by examples from the Qur’an and the Hadith. In each model, I explicate the
process of divine-human interaction by identifying the key elements of communication
and their relationships.
To devise the models, this study depends on heavily on the Qur’an, identifies
communication-related verse(s), analyzes the words’ semantic components, and reveals
the expression’s rhetorical implications, all drawn from the primary sources of the
classical and modern eras.
