Abstract (EN)

In this thesis titled "Content Analysis of Surah An'am within the Framework of the Integrity of the Quran", I aimed to interpret the main subjects of Surah An'am, namely tawhid, prophethood and afterlife, within the framework of thematic commentary and to reveal the messages given by the surah. In the first part of this study, general information about the Surah An'am is given. In the second part, the interpretation of the entire surah was evaluated in the "Sura-centered tafsir category", and in the third part, the messages extracted from the surah were examined. In the first chapter, information is given about the place of the surah al-An'am in the history of the Qur'an, the introduction of the surah, its cause, goals and virtue. In the first part, information is given about the place of Surah An'am in the history of the Quran, the introduction of the Surah, the reason for its revelation, its goals and virtues. In the second part, the interpretation of the entire surah was examined in groups, using classical and modern sources. In this section, words and concepts that are difficult to understand are clarified, and the reasons and revelations of the verses are given. In the third chapter, the messages extracted from the surah were examined under topic headings. In this section, the moral principles to be derived from the surah are also explained. The Quran proves the existence and unity of Allah by emphasizing that He creates, gives life, causes death and resurrection. He says that the beings whom they associate with shirk cannot be associated with Allah because it is impossible for them to do these things. According to the Quran, there is no being other than Allah who can do these things. In the Surah An'am, there is a rejection of the objections of the polytheists and a proof of the existence and unity of Allah with evidence. The Quran does this through the style of recommendation and suggestion. This sura, unlike other surahs, was sent down in one go. Again, in this surah, unlike other surahs, it is stated that even if they touch the book with their hands, they will still say that this is obvious magic, and even if they see all kinds of miracles, they will not believe. In the Surah An'am, Tawhid is explained with examples that Allah has perfect attributes and that He has complete control over His servants. It is explained that He created beings and the entire universe from nothing, that He appointed them an end, that He kills and resurrects them, and that He meets all their needs. Being a disbeliever requires being able to do both benefit and harm. In this surah, it is said that there is no one who can prevent the benefit that Allah gives and there is no one who can remove the harm He causes. Having such power shows the perfection of his power and that he is the only god. This surah, unlike other surahs, explains the subjects of monotheism, prophethood and the hereafter in detail and with evidence in the same surah. While explaining tawhid in this surah, Almighty Allah uses the method of going from work to effect. Regarding the prophethood, this surah mainly focuses on Hz. He answers the objections to the prophethood of the Prophet. Unlike other surahs, in this surah Allah witnessed his prophethood and said, "They do not deny you, they deny the verses of Allah." He consoles the Prophet. In addition, in this surah, he informs the polytheists who want an angel to be sent down, that if the angel was sent down, it would cause their destruction. It is emphasized that the Prophet did not have extraordinary powers because he was human. Hz. Muhammad is the last of the series of prophets, just as he sent the previous prophets. It also states that it was Allah who sent the Prophet as a messenger. In Surah An'am, unlike other surahs, it is stated that human and jinn devils were made enemies of every prophet. It is also stated that this is done so that they can deceive each other by saying false words to each other. Thus, it becomes clear that the unbelievers are under the influence of human and jinn demons in the excuses they make. Instead of resurrecting people in the afterlife, Almighty Allah gives examples of cracking the seeds and kernels and killing people while they sleep at night and resurrecting them in the morning. In this surah, the situation of unbelievers when they see the torment in the afterlife is described. The Quran does not go into detail while presenting striking paintings in the most vivid style. In this surah, unlike other surahs of the Quran, the situation of unbelievers in the face of fire in the afterlife is explained in more detail.
