كتاب THE QUR 039 AN AND THE ORIENTALISTS: AN EXAMINATION OF THEIR MAIN THEORIES AND ASSUMPTIONS

The subject of the orientalists' views and assumptions about the Qur'an especially attracted my attention during the early 1990s when I had been engaged in writing the Strat al-Nabt and the Orientalists. 1 It soon became clear that the major part of their assumptions and remarks about the Prophet are aimed directly or indirectly against the Qur'an, which fact goes only to confirm the Qur'anic statement at 6:33 (al-'An'am): "So in fact they cry lies not to you [i. e., the Prophet]; but the transgressors do at Allah's 'qyahs (revelations) hurl rejection." Subsequently, early in 1999, my attention was drawn to an article written by Toby Lester under caption "What is the Koran" and published in the January 1999 issue of the Atlantic Monthfy. It was a sort of heavyweight journalistic writing publicising the views of Gerd-R Puin regarding the Qur'an based on his examination of some Qur'anic manuscripts lately discovered at San'a', together with the views of some other orientalists. I wrote a review of that article which was published as a booklet under caption: The Qur'an and the Latest Orienta/is! Assumptions.2 In the following year I presented a paper (in Arabic) on the orientalists' assumptions about the Qur'an at a seminar on Qur'anic studies and sciences, organised by the ·King Fahd Qur'an Printing Complex and held at Madina between 30 September and 3 October 2000.3 A revised English version of this paper was published in 2002 as another booklet under caption :The Qur'an and the Orientalists: A Brief Suroey of Their Assumptions.4 In the preface to this latter booklet I mentioned that the subject needed a more detailed treatment. The present work is an attempt in this direction.
