many clerics who tried to break the deadlock problems with regard to the interconnectedness of verses in the Qur'an. Abu Bakr al-Naysaburi (d. 324 a.h.) became known as a pioneer in the introduction of the relationship of the interconnectedness of the contents of the Qur'an, which starts from the question every time he read al-Quran, "why this verse is put next to this text, what is the secret and placed the letter on the side of this letter?".

As for the definition used in such matters is munasabah, which is defined as the language of the suitability, appropriateness, suitability, and immediacy. Whereas in the sense of the term, there are several kinds of opinions from scholars, among others, Manna ' Khalil al-Qattan, that in terms of the relation between the facet-one word with another word in a paragraph, a paragraph with another paragraph, or between a letter with another letter.

As if the affair is about one thing only, about ' aqaid, manners, or on rights and obligations for example. In fact it is merely wanted the relationship on the basis of one or a few principles ". This is made clear by al-Syatibi in al-muwafaqat, States that the Qur'an in many verses which are presented only to reveal things that are the principle (mabda ') and the general norms (rules) only. Thus it is not in place when people insist on imposing themselves looking for correlation between the verses and letters are tafshil.
