Addressing Doubts about the Preservation and Compilation of the Quran during the Prophetic Era and rebuttals to them

Abstract

The research aims to mention three suspicions raised about the memorization of the Holy Qur’an, its collecting, and its Sequence in the Prophet’s era, and to review them briefly historically, and to criticize them scientifically supported by evidence and proofs, and to demonstrate the lies and slander of the orientalist accusers, and to expose their approach based on illusion and deception. The researcher has followed (the analytical historical approach). This study contained an introduction, a preface, three sections, and a conclusion. The preface is about the definition of the research terms. The first section reviews the suspicion that the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, forgot something from the Qur’an, and analyzed and discussed it. The second section mentions the suspicion of missing something from the Holy Qur’an. It addresses the response and refutation of it, and the third section explains the suspicion of appeal to the frequency of the Qur’an, and dealt with the response to it from various aspects. The study concludes with a conclusion that included the most important results, including: that many of the suspicions raised by the Orientalists are not the product of this era, but they are ancient suspicions that preceded them since old times, but they resurrect it in the language of the era, and this is clearly evident through the historical review of this suspicion. The research also clearly showed clarification that impeaches relied on methods that lack honesty and objectivity. Such as skepticism, accusation of contradiction, confusing truth with falsehood, or raising apparent contradiction in texts.
