Abstract

Muslims believe that the Qur’an is the word of God revealed to Prophet Mohammad through the Archangel Gabriel and as such, it is holistic and error free. However, certain orientalists reject this view and proposed loaded questions toward the Qur’an aimed to sow doubt among Muslims regarding the authenticity of the Qur’an. Such orientalists focused on selected content of the Qur’an, its history, translation, different readings, memorization, completion, collection, and different orthographies. This paper critically discusses these issues and tried to responses the orientalists’ deviations toward the Qur’an.
