Abstract

There is a disagreement on the date of revelation and the existence of the verses of exception of Sūrat al-Insān. Therefore, considering its effect on the discovery of the truth, a relatively reliable revelation date should be attained. The present research has examined the date of revelation of this sūrah according to the text and has answered the question as to when the probable date of revelation of the sūrah according to its text has been? The findings of the verbal index state that the length of the sūrah and its verses is relatively short and has similar or convergent distances. The existence of extra-regularity of balance has also added to its tone. The findings of the content index show that the sūrah can be divided into two parts, verses 1-22 and 23-31, in terms of continuity and discontinuity. Also, topics such as outlining the paradise and enjoining patience have been mentioned in them, but there is no specific or strong reference to any historical event. Finally, it can be said that the sūrah has an integrate revelation and a Meccan context.
