Symmetry in Sura al-Burooj

Professor Neal Robinson has found that Sura al-Burooj “exhibits a symmetrical or chiastic structure, in which the centre-piece is the eschatological diptych which contrasts the punishment awaiting the persecutors with the bliss in store for the believers.”


Here are some excerpts from Neal Robinson, Discovering the Qur’an (London: SCM Press Ltd, 1996), pages 141-142 and 312.
