Abstract

In the continuum of history, the suspicion of taking Quranic narrations from a priori texts in heterogeneous traditions was used in time-related ways to show the anonymity of the teachings and propositions of the Holy Quran. The Holy Quran and religious believers sought answers in various ways regarding the alleged method of the skeptics. With the spread of knowledge and theories, and its projection into philosophical and religious theories, the method of spreading the suspicion of the Quran was replaced by a method consistent with the methodological system of knowledge. In this regard, it is necessary to confront the idea of taking revelation teachings in proportion to the rival processing method. The methodological system of this research is based on a text, with the view of Toofan narration, which considers it as a text and with approaches similar to it, such as hermeneutic, intertextual, and narratological approaches, it seeks to critique discourse and justify it in its static and unique story of Noah’s flood in the Quran in terms of originality. One of the findings of the present study is that although the storm narrative has repetitive elements in all mythological and semi-mythological narratives, in the discourse of the Holy Quran due to the use of special linguistic and metalanguage elements in the shadow of monotheism and resurrection has made it heterogeneous and independent of other types of narrative.
