Abstract

The main purpose of the revelation of the verses of Quran is to read, understand and apply it. Adherence to a systematic method in understanding and contemplating the verses of the Quran is necessary. The method of structural interpretation as one of the methods of understanding the verses of the Quran is based on important principles such as the divinity of the order of the verses in a surah and the thematic unity between them. This method seeks to discover a new and coherent face of the Surahs of Quran. One of the Surahs of Quran that needs to be explained in virtue of its main purpose is the Surah Ma'arij. In this research, the main purpose of the surah was explained with a descriptive-analytical method and a structural interpretation approach. This Surah consists of three topics: 1- Description of the event of resurrection and the exclusionary attitude of the infidels towards it (verses 1 to 18) 2- Expressing the situation of the believer in terms of faith and action affected by belief in the resurrection (verses 19 to 35) 3- Reiterating the fate of the infidels and interacting with the Prophet (PBUH) (verses 36-44). The relationship between the sections of this Surah emphasizes the belief in the resurrection and the impact of this issue on the situation of believers and infidels in terms of their practice and lifestyle. The distinguishing feature of this view from others is the emphasis on the educational role of resurrection.
