One of the modern approaches in the field of Qur'anic studies is the study of the new structures of the order of the Holy Qur'an. In this regard, the descriptive-analytical method is used, and in this article, the approach of "Raymond Farrin", a contemporary Quranic scholar, is investigated, focusing on the rhetorical analysis of Surah Al-Imran. In this article, first the concept of symmetrical order is introduced and then Raymond Farrin's view on the order of Surah Al-Imran is expressed and reviewed. Raymond Farrin has divided Surah Al-Imran into seven parts and established a relationship between different parts of the Surah in the form of a circular structure or circular composition and presented a general and comprehensive model of the relationship between the parts of the Surah. In the review of Raymond Farrin's view on the structural order of Surah Al-Imran, there are several criticisms. First, their model is very concise and short, and they should pay attention to more diverse details. Secondly, it would have been better if they had mentioned the basics of segmentation first. Thirdly, the evidence presented to prove the symmetry in parts C and C' of the surah is insufficient. Fourthly, he did not mention some verbal and content symmetries in sections A and A', and finally Farin discussed the surah in terms of circular and thematic composition and linear and lexical composition and repetition of words which play a significant role in understanding the thematic composition. has not paid attention, but at the same time, Farin emphasizes the order of the verses and chapters of the Holy Quran.
