[quote][size=2][font=Arial][blue]Asalam Aalaikum

The word "Nazm" has actually divided the Muslim Scholars into two groups.
One group supports that Qur'an posseses "Nazm" but the other doesnot.
Those who agree that Qur'an 
posseses "Nazm"(Coherance and meaning) are also divided into two groups,both groups interpret the term "Nazm" according to their own understanding and view. One Group claims that the term "Nazm" refers to the link and relation between words and the meanings but the other group claims that the term "Nazm" refers to the linear connection between the verses, Surahs or between Surahs and verses.

Those who uphold the view that "Nazm" refers to the relation between words and the meanings state that each and every word of the Qur'an is arranged in such a way that they give a perticular meaning and supporters of this view are called "Khattabi" and "Jurjani".

Those who hold the view that "Nazm" refers to the linear connection between verses ,Surahs or verses and Surahs base their view on Razi the first person who introduced and applied the idea of "Nazm" to Qur'an.
Zarkashi has discussed this word in Burhan under the chapter titled 
"Understanding of the Relationships between Verses)".

Please note that both ,the former and the latter group agree that their are relations between the words and the meanings in the Qur'anic verses but
the latter group is more inclined towards the linear connection between the verses, Surahs or the Surahs and verses both.
