Qoran Shenakht

Some Orientalists have pointed out factors such as the language of the Qur'an, contradictions, stories of the Qur'an, the evolution and development of the Islamic society, and facing new issues in analyzing the necessity of interpreting the Qur'an. Although some of these factors are in line with what Islamic scholars have said, they can be viewed sympathetically, but there are undoubtedly serious considerations regarding some others. Using the descriptive-analytical method, this article explains and criticizes these factors. The results show that, contrary to the claims of some Orientalists, the Arabic language is not a degenerate branch of other languages, nor are the linguistic defects claimed by them true, so that it is considered necessary to interpret the Qur'an. Using the descriptive-analytical method, this article explains and criticizes these factors. The results show that, contrary to the claims of some Orientalists, the Arabic language is not a degenerate branch of other languages, nor are the language defects claimed by them true, so that it can be said that it is necessary to interpret the Qur'an in this regard. In addition, because the Qur'an has strong and similar verses, absolute and binding, and general and specific, it may come to mind at first glance that there is a conflict between their meanings; But upon reflection, it becomes clear that such conflicts are apparent and primitive, not established. Therefore, the suspicion of contradiction and conflict between the contents of the Qur'an by some Orientalists and considering it as a necessity for interpretation, indicates their ignorance in understanding the teachings of the Qur'an or their prejudices and evil intentions.
