“…Qur'an's referentiality, in Neuwirth's term, to verses preceding and coming after the woman-mentioning verse, sura revealed before and after the 'home' sura, and historical realities surrounding them is the next point to discuss (Lien Iffah Naf'atu Fina, 2014;Neuwirth, 2009). At this point, the paper would discern sub-textual (to the panegyrical preIslamic ode) as well as the intertextual relation.…”

According to narratology, to name something is to grant it an identity. While Qur'an is unnaming women figures engaged in its narratives, one could uncover the worldview underlying its decision to use such linguistic expression. In so doing, the paper adopts a method developed by Angelika Neuwirth, commonly referred to as pre-canonical reading. It initially compiles Qur'anic verses mentioning women figures either by name, allusion, or only stating certain historical event typical of them. It then puts them in their chronological order according to Noledeke's notion (commonly known as tartib nuzuli in Islamic scholars). This paper then discerns the textual context and role which each verse plays in their sura of origin. At this point, this paper divides each sura of origin into some parts according to the verses' grammatical structure and thematic content. Qur'an's referentiality, in Neuwirth's term, to verses preceding and coming after the woman-mentioning verse, sura revealed before and after the 'home' sura, and historical realities surrounding them is the next point to discuss. The paper discerns sub-textual (to the panegyrical pre-Islamic ode) as well as the intertextual relation; delving its self-referentiality and extra-textual referentiality. Having done all these, the paper shows that Qur'an endows women with agencies, but stops endowing in fundamental level. In that level women are subordinated. Added to that, scholars either in Muslim and non-Muslim could not hitherto provide us with historical data saying that the ways in which Qur'an addresses women are those used to address them respectfully.

“…Many scholars have produced works on the subject (Adnan, 2004;Ali, 2015;Barlas, 2002;Engineer, 2003;Hassan, 1985;Neuwirth, 2009;Stowasser, 1994;Umar, 2001;Wadud, 1992). However they omitted the above fact and discussed other Qur'an-women elements instead.…”

“…Dass damit nicht nur die Auseinandersetung mit den vorher vertretenen Positionen entfiel, sondern schileßlich sogar die Grundlage jeder historischen Koranforschung selbst aufgegeben wurde, nämlich die von Nöldeke erarbeitete Chronologie der Suren, muss aus der Retrospektive als 'gefährlicher' Rückschritt der Forschung beurteilt werden 77 .…”

This study challenges the widespread scholarly assumption that the Qurʾān can only be properly understood when its suras are assigned to a chronological order based on the traditional biography of the Prophet. The first section of the study addresses the origins of this assumption, beginning with Islamic tradition and its reception in the XIXth century works of Gustav Weil and Theodor Nöldeke. The second section involves a critique of more recent defenses of the idea of a Quranic chronology. The third and final section of the article illustrates the problem of this idea by way of a comparison with scholarship on the Psalms.
