چکیده

Dr. Muḥammad-Ḥasan Zamānī’s Mustashriqān va Qur’ān: Naqd va barrasī-yi Ārā’-i Mustashriqān darbārih-yi Qur’ān [The Orientalists and the Quran: A Critique and Study of the Opinions of Orientalists about the Quran] (2021) offers a comprehensive critique of Orientalist perspectives on the Qur’ān, addressing their scholarly activities, theories, and biases. The book, spanning six chapters, examines Western translations, lexicographies, and encyclopedias like the Leiden Encyclopedia of the Quran, alongside the works of prominent Orientalists such as Theodor Nöldeke, Ignaz Goldziher, and Andrew Rippin. It critiques theories on the Qur’ān’s origin, including claims of non-divine sources, cultural influences, or derivation from earlier scriptures, refuting notions like Maqṣūd Firāsat-Khāh’s natural revelation theory. The study defends the Qur’ān’s integrity against accusations of distortion, citing historical evidence like ʿUthmān’s codification and widespread memorization. It also addresses Orientalist critiques of the Qur’ān’s literary structure, emphasizing its stylistic richness and coherence, and responds to doubts about its teachings, such as those on hijab, inheritance, and divine attributes. The book highlights biases in Orientalist scholarship, particularly in the Leiden Encyclopedia, and advocates for a rigorous, evidence-based approach to Qur’ānic studies, grounded in Islamic narrations and textual analysis.
