Qoran Shenakht

Leiden Encyclopedia of the Qur'an (EQ) is one of the most famous Western Quranic researches in recent centuries, which can be criticized in terms of form and content, such as lack of comprehensive articles, lack of comprehensive understanding, lack of valid sources, misunderstandings of some Quranic verses and particularly creating doubt in the revelatory nature of the Qur'an. This issue is so incredible that, any flaw in this matter distorts the basis of Islam and the mission of the Prophet (P.B.U.H.). This paper seeks to criticize the related article in EQ by reviewing and comparing the narrations of collection of the Qur'an in traditional sources as well as the EQ ones, which attempts to create a doubt about the authenticity and the revelatory nature of the Qur'an, by denying the canonical order of the Quranic verses and chapters, and recording of the Qur'an at the Prophet (P.B.U.H.)'s era. Utilizing rational arguments, historical evidence and traditional proofs, this paper proves the compilation of the holy Qur'an at the Prophet (P.B.U.H.)'s era.
