I am using the below code to display my next and previous links in single.php: 

<div class="nav-previous"><?php previous_post_link( '%link', '<img height="34" src="' . get_bloginfo("template_directory") . '/images/previous.png" />' ); ?></div>
    <div class="nav-next"><?php next_post_link( '%link', '<img height="34" src="' . get_bloginfo("template_directory") . '/images/next.png" />' ); ?></div>

Everything is working well except that I am defining some rewrite rules in my websites so I am not using the default links like:

http://local-host/enc/?aya-bi-aya=aya-143

but instead

http://local-host/enc/aya-bi-aya/aya-143/

I managed to change the structures of my links for all the website except for the next and previous links, since it requires maybe change of core code!!

How can I customize the urls returned by these two Wordpress functions?

Thanks for your time and consideration.

Edit:

I am using custom post type(=aya-bi-aya).My permalink structure is set to default. It then displays my permalinks like:

http://local-host/enc/?aya-bi-aya=aya-143

But inside my website, I dont need such urls, but instead I am using urls like:

http://local-host/enc/?aya-bi-aya=aya-143&assurah=al-baqarah&attab=attakhrij

The additional parameters fulfill my needs, especially in my jquery code. Plus, I am using the mod_rewrite to tranform my links to: 

http://local-host/enc/aya-bi-aya/al-baqarah/aya-143/attakhrij/

The only remaining thing is to change the links in previous and next, so that they respect this last shape.

Thanks Milo for triggering the real issue.

    those functions ultimately use get_permalink to output the links, how are you outputting the correct links for single posts? are these a custom post type? if you correctly filter post_link or post_type_link to format your URLs, this problem will disappear, but I have a feeling you've gone about the whole thing in a strange way to end up where you are now. – Milo Aug 28 '13 at 18:15

  • @Milo: I am using the default permalink structure for my custom post type (aya-bi-aya) + other params that I am not including in my question, I am giving an edit. I am trying to understand the idea about post_link and post_type_link. thanks – whiteletters in blankpapers Aug 28 '13 at 18:41
  • @VinodDalvi of course. I am still reading your link and trying to understand Milo comment – whiteletters in blankpapers Aug 28 '13 at 18:41
