| Abstract | ||
| Introduction The whole text of Joseph‟s sura tells the story of the prophet Joseph. Of course, the narrative structure is one of the features of its importance which seems to be unaffected by the passing of time. Joseph‟s story is a very good example in its plot structure compared with the stories of other prophets in the Holy Quran. It is really a complete artistic text. This story is rich with topics for study and has all the elements of the story (characters, plot, setting, etc.). This study deals with the plot structure because the story is deliberately built on the Arabic linguistic style and has a complete artistic structure. Another reason for choosing this story relates to its similarity with the prophet Mohammed‟s story: both prophets are orphans, both are fought by their relatives, both are forced to leave their countries and restart a new life in another country, both get the authority and power later on, and finally they both forgive their enemies at the end of their stories. The Holy Quran is the last and most important holy book which tells about the human society from Adam‟s creation till the everlasting life after doomsday. As for Joseph‟s story, the Holy Quran produces several topics within one text. The study will try to analyze the plot of the story so as to find out some of its linguistic sides and details | ||
