The History of the Qur'anic Text from Revelation to Compilation : A Comparative Study with the Old and New Testaments
In Muslim hearts, the Qur'an is revered as the most sacred of texts, containing a plethora of exalted ideas to rouse the mind, noble histories to stir the soul, universal truths to awaken the conscience, and precise injunctions directing humanity to its own salvation, all distilled into the melodious essence that is Allah's Word. Muslims have fought corruption in the Quran for fourteen centuries, memorizing every word and considering every phrase, to the point that countless millions of people have committed each letter to heart in our own time.
Beginning with a list of historical and modern attacks on the Qur'an, this massive tome offers unique insights into the sacred text's impeccable preservation throughout history, as well as an examination of many of the allegations leveled against it. The reception of divine revelations, Prophet Muhammad's role in teaching and disseminating these verses, the text's compilation under his supervision, and the setting of the text's final external shape shortly after his death are all meticulously and scientifically discussed alongside such topics as the origins of Arabic, its palaeography and orthography, the so-called Mushaf of Ibn Mas'ud, and the strict methodology used in putting together textual fragments.
In order to make a comparison, the author looks into the histories of the Old and New Testaments, relying solely on Judaeo-Christian sources such as the Dead Sea Scrolls, and discovers a remarkable variety of changes that affect practically every truth in the Bible. He offers a comprehensive yet passionate case for challenging the goals of Western academics in repeatedly degrading Islam's sacred text, and demonstrates clearly that such study, driven by more than casual curiosity, has no scientific consequence on the Qur'an's integrity.
At a time when criticizing the Qur'an has become all too frequent, this enormous effort, a scientific work written in an emotional tone, provides a welcome basis for serious study.
