چکیده:
The similarity between monotheistic religions is among the issues with which Islamic narrations (Shi'ite and Sunnite) have dealt. In these narrations such topics as the similarity between religions concerning their having various sects and their accepting the belief of Return، are put forward. According to some scholars' views the authenticity of these narrations are unanimously agreed upon، and، in terms of sound argument، they are verified by the Quran verses. The Quran emphasizes that the nations are common in as far as divine prescription are concerned and divine prescriptions recur throughout history. Proposing the idea that the Quran has been distorted، some refer to these narrations and verses and argue that، due to the similarities between monotheistic religions and because the Holy Book has been distorted، then the Quran must have been distorted، too. In response، shi'ite scholars have made every effort to correct people's misinterpretation of these narrations. Although some of the responses to this misconception are strong this paper offers more comprehensive responses.
خلاصه ماشینی:
This article examines one of the most important reasons cited by those who believe in the distortion of the Quran, namely the narrations regarding the similarity of the events of the Islamic Ummah with previous nations, and attempts to provide a strong and reasoned response to it.
Therefore, just as one cannot derive evidence for the verbal distortion of the Torah and the Gospel from the verses of the Quran, but rather the terms of forgery, abandonment, concealment, and semantic distortion of the book are more accurate, the same point is observed in the narrations.
In any case, people like Muhaddith Nuri cannot use these narrations to prove the distortion of the Quran after the passing of the Prophet of Islam (ibid.
In the first step, it states that if the dispute regarding the chain of transmission of the aforementioned narrations is disregarded—although, except for four narrations, most of the cited narrations are invalid in terms of their chain of transmission—and even if the indication of these verses and narrations regarding the similarity of the Islamic Ummah to previous nations in all matters is accepted, its implication is merely the occurrence of distortion in the Quran throughout history after the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him and his family).
Third, the holy books of Jews and Christians are not similar to the Quran, but rather similar to Islamic narrations; verbal distortion in them is meaningless.
