The objective of this study is to examine the discourse-oriented structures in Surah Ibrahim (PBUH) and to uncover its underlying worldview using van Leeuwen’s model through a descriptive-analytical method. The reason for selecting this Surah lies in its comprehensive presentation of beliefs, admonitions, sermons, and instructive narratives of previous nations, which collectively reflect the purposes of prophetic missions and the revelation of divine scriptures. Moreover, this Surah provides a detailed account of the purposeful supplications of Prophet Ibrahim (PBUH), which are not elaborated upon in other chapters of the Qur’an. In other words, by focusing on the narrative of Prophet Ibrahim, monotheism, divine blessings, the fate of nations, and other related themes, this Surah possesses distinctive features that set it apart from other chapters of the Qur’an. In this context, the present study investigates the discourse-oriented structures of this Surah to uncover its hidden intellectual system and understand the discursive meanings embedded in its verses. The findings indicate that Surah Ibrahim employs a variety of discourse-oriented structures to affirm the authenticity of the Qur’an and to elucidate the objectives of the prophetic mission. Some of these structures include: the explicit and direct articulation of truths, the use of evidence and indicators to validate claims, and the application of logic and reasoning to persuade the audience. Moreover, the cognitive implications of the discourse-oriented components in this Surah prominently highlight the power and majesty of God, prompting the audience to reflect deeply on the nature and mechanisms of divine actions. This creates a broad discursive space concerning issues such as idolatry and divine punishment.
