چکیده:
The book "The Historians’ Quran" (in three volumes) is the result of the efforts of 28 Western authors and researchers, compiled with the aim of denying the divine revelation of the Holy Quran. This book was published in France in 2019. The compilers of this work, employing the historical-critical method and aggregating studies and research conducted by Orientalists on the Quran over the past two centuries, along with extensive global media propaganda, seek to introduce this book as one of the primary references for understanding the Quran and to deconstruct the identity of Islam, the Prophet, and Muslims. The authors of "The Historians’ Quran," by applying the historical-critical method to the Quran, deny its divine revelation, cast doubt on its attribution to the Prophet, and consider it a book largely compiled after his passing. In the present article, after explaining the place of the historical-critical method in textual analysis, the application of such a method in proving the textual authenticity of the Quran is deemed incorrect. In this regard, reasons are provided for the Quran’s lack of need for disciplines such as codicology, epigraphy, and archaeology, which are integral to the historical-critical method. The research method in this article is critical, utilizing available sources.
