چکیده:
Two issues of distortion and difference in the readings of the Qur'an are among the issues that have provoked many discussions among Qur'anic scholars since the first centuries of Islam. On the other hand, the existence of weak narrations in the books of the two sects has created the illusion of distortion in the Qur'an. On the other hand, due to the close connection between the distortion and the difference in recitation, the different readings of the Qur'an have raised the issue of distortion of the Qur'an. Orientalists have used the historiography of the Qur'an to show the human process in forming the Qur'an, and in the meantime have attached great importance to the differences in readings and the distortion of the Qur'an. Using a library method and through analytical-descriptive method, this article seeks to show that the differences in the Qur’anic readings along with the motivations and research methods of orientalists have had a significant effect on the formation of the illusion of the distortion of the Qur'an.
خلاصه ماشینی:
The issue of Quranic distortion (tahrif), which has mostly been a byproduct of sectarian conflicts, has sometimes served as a pretext for the opponents of the Quran; meanwhile, some individuals and Islamic groups fueled this issue by relying on baseless narrations; the writing of books such as "Fasl al-Khitab" by the traditionist Nuri created an opportunity for the opponents of the Quran to intensify their attacks on the Quran; although researchers and religious leaders agree that the current text of the Holy Quran is the same Quran that was revealed to the Holy Prophet(; and this view is reflected in various works and books (Haydari, Siyanat al-Quran min al-Tahrif, 1392: 24); however, the existence of this very issue in some Muslim narration books caused the opponents of Islam to pursue this matter with great enthusiasm and give it various branches.
The existence of these recitations, which, according to the great scholars of Shia and Sunni, possess a truth contrary to the truth of the Quran (see: al-Zarkashi, al-Burhan fi Ulum al-Quran, 1975: 1/318; al-Banna, Ithaf Fudala al-Bashar, 1987: 69; Salih, Mabahith fi Ulum al-Quran, 2000: 108; Khoei, al-Bayan fi Ulum al-Quran, 1382: 141), caused Orientalists to exert all their efforts so that through this way they could instill anxiety and disorder regarding the Quran and the existence of unstable verses and meanings in it to their audience, in order to achieve their goals through this path; meanwhile, even people like Goldziher dedicated separate works to this matter and, by providing various examples of anomalous and weak recitations, tried to show these recitations as being consistent with the verses of the Quran.
