Abstract

In early Islamic era, in mind of illiterate Arabs, there was a structural re
lation between the social self-image and between their Qur’an image. Arab
social identity, was constructed on the contradiction between illiterate Ara
bs and the people of the scripture. Ka’bah was the central symbol. But
Arabs were emulating their neighbours and they were desiring to achieve a
scripture like them. This caused a big tension in their mind until Qur’an.
When the Qur’an came, it was imagined as a suggestion about changing
the settled illiterate social identity, its symbol and reference with a scriptu
re. Politically, it caused a social split. After this identity stage, Arabs prefer
red the Qur’an/new scripture as base of identity. But this stage suggests
for the new scripture an (even though it was being written) illiterate, valid,
practical structure. The Prophet made The Qur’an felt and concealed by his
self presence. In the last stage, when the Prophet (the concrete base of the
identity and the scripture) died, illiterate muslim Arabs needed a literally
standardized whole scripture. The Qur’an started to be imagined as an offi
cially, wholly and literally concealed, and therefore unique valid scripture.
