An Expose of Orientalists with Reference to Preservation of Holy Qur’an

Abstract

The Holy Qur'an is the most protected book revealed by Allah but a number of orientalists are resolutely a devouring to prove this reverend book as falsified like other revealed books. There has been a great difference of opinion between Easter Muslim theologians and the orientalists on the preservation of book of Allah. Although Orientalist admits the reality of unanimous consent about Mushaf-e-Usmani and used non-recurrent traditions in their favor. A.T. Welch the author of Al Kur’an article in Encyclopedia of Islam has based on Jeffery’s book “Materials for the History of the text of the Qur’an”, traditions attributed to the names of companions and successors and all were included in the compilation of Holy Qur’an in the time period of (صلى الله عليه وسلم) ,Abu Baker and Usman (R.A). Orientalists could not know that such a large number of Muslims particularly the companions (R.A) could not think of implement a dialect that had not been attributed to the person other than the Holy Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم ). While discussing different dialects of the Holy Qur‘an. Orientalists could not follow the principles of Higher criticism in spite of the unrealistic claims because they did not include the findings research report of the Head of Qur’anic Archive Professor Bergistarasser in their analytical study. According to that report there are errors of copying in all the 42000 Qur’anic scripts but no difference of text is found in any of them. The Muslim Ummah has unanimously stated three reasons to accept dialects: i.e:, Conformity of Arabic dictionary, continuous documentation and dialect according to the orthography of ‘Usman Script’. All other-dialects were considered infrequent. In this article different readings of the of Holy Qur’an and preservation have been discussed.
