The History of The Quranic Text, from Revelation to Compilation

The Quran is the basis of our Din, thus it is the first target of those seeking to destroy Islam. Many of our impressionable youth studying in universities end up murtad due to being exposed to the studies of orientalists, who level a range of accusations at the Quran, in an attempt to cast doubt on its authenticity.This book is a masterpiece, one that should be taught in every institute, so that every alim can be geared up to counter any arguments levelled against our Quran.

It covers the history of the Quran and its preservation in detail, then studies the preservation of the Old and New Testaments, followed by a study into the various orientalist research into the Quran.

Ml Taha Karaan has introduced this book into the syllabus of his institute over a decade ago.The book is in English, allowing it to be easily covered in class.

Here is the publisher’s description:
“This expansive book provides unique insights into the holy text’s immaculate preservation, as well as exploring many of the accusations leveled against it. The reception of divine revelations, Prophet Muhammad’s role in disseminating and compiling these verses, and the setting of the text’s final external shape are scientifically examined alongside such topics as the origins of Arabic, the so-called Mushaf of Ibn Masud, and the strict methodology employed in assembling textual fragments.

By way of comparison, the author investigates the histories of the Old and New Testaments, relying entirely on Judeo-Christian sources, and uncovers a startling range of alterations in the biblical Scriptures. Using this as a springboard, he illustrates convincingly that Western research into Islam’s Holy Book is motivated by more than mere curiosity, and has no scientific bearing on the Quran’s integrity.

This monumental effort, a scholarly work composed in an impassioned tone, provides a welcome foundation for sincere study at a time when assailing the Quran has become all too common.”[End of Description provided by the publisher]
