One of the divisions of the text of the Qur'an next to the verse, surah, hizb and Juz' is called " ruku';" A set of verses that are very similar in subject and meaning and unlike most Qur'anic divisions, the number of letters and words does not interfere in determining its scope. despite the the remarkable importance of ruku' in reading and interpretation, it has received less attention than its other counterparts. the oldest memorable mention of ruku's dates back to the fourth century AH; where for the supererogatory nights of Ramadan, parts of the Qur'an should be recited after the sura al-Fatiha. from then on, the usages and necessity of paying attention to the ruku's gradually increased until its sign appeared in the margins of some mus'hafs. the present article, in a descriptive-analytical method, first tries to discuss the relationship between Quranic ruku's and paragraphing by text reading studies. then tell about the place of Quranic ruku's in islamic culture and finally explain its benefits in the form of the functions of reciting the Quran (propaganda and educational aspect) and writing commentary (scientific aspect).

In addition to the places mentioned above, the inscribing of verses on headstone was also commonplace. Although the history of this act goes far beyond a thousand years and archaeologists and researchers in the field of history and art have investigated on it, Quranic researchers have focused on this topic less the most important question is what kind of verses engraved on the rocks and what historical or cultural analysis it makes. Another question is about the function of cemeteries and graves in the community and in the minds of the people in that period which is led them to the choice of particular verses from the Quran. This research has examined the above questions about the Qur'anic verses of the historical graves of Turanposht and, finally has achieved five valuable and educational motivations in choosing the verses
