Cinematic recitation of Surah Al-Shu'ara

This article aims to present a cinematic interpretation of Surah Ash-Shu‘ara. The content of the surah is divided into three main sections—beginning, middle, and end—comprising 15 thematic units (siyaq). Each thematic unit is considered as one or more sequences, with its verses functioning as individual shots. The three sections align. Act One: The concern of the Messenger of God (PBUH), introduction of the noun pair “Al-Aziz” and “Al-Rahim”. Act Two: The torment of the seven nations in the past, the manner of the revelation of the Quran, the beginning of the painful torment at the end of time; Act Three and the climax of the story: the revelation of the clear book and its implementation by the divine guardian, the emergence of the true leader with his companions, and the final victory. Finally, the cinematic elements of each sequence are analyzed, including: location, rhythm and editing, color, light, and proposed shots.The research method is descriptive-analytical, which is based on the arrangement of verses and thematic unity in the entire surah, the content structure of the surah is examined, and the internal coherence of the verses and the contexts is discovered. Then it is analyzed from a cinematic perspective. The results show that Surah Al-Shu'ara has a coherent structure that allows its analysis as a cinematic work. The aim of this research is to examine the artistic dimensions of the Quran and its role in the development of religious cinema.
