Notes	Research objectives: This research refutes the proposition that the Holy Qur’an was not completed as a revealed book during the life of the Prophet, but rather took its final form not long after his death, and examines whether this proposition can withstand an analysis of one of the structural links evident in the text. Study methodology: This research follows the analytical and historical approaches; It examines the connection between the center and the periphery in successive surahs, revealed at various stages of the revelation (the structural consistency leads us to the conclusion that the composition of the Qur’an most likely goes back to a single source, while the lack of consistency leads to the conclusion of a multiplicity of sources). This study proceeds to compare the results with the findings of recent statistical and objective studies. Results: This research highlights continuity, which is consistent with the stylistic analysis of the text, which reveals a coherent stylistic path. The research is also consistent with a study on the subject of jihad in the Qur’an, which also demonstrated cohesion, textual coherence, and adherence to basic principles. Originality of the research: This research is the first of its kind that sheds light on the consistency in linking the center and the periphery in the Qur’an, which increases Our appreciation for text systems. Just as this research helps us understand the connections between successive surahs, it may also help us in textual interpretation. Finally, since the results refute the proposition that the Holy Qur’an was composed at a late stage, they provide an updated hypothesis about the writing and transmission of the Qur’an at an early stage. Taking into account the presence of minor differences in ancient manuscripts, reports about the committee that issued a unified version of the Qur’an during the reign of Caliph Uthman ibn Affan, and the fact that no initial drafts have been found.
