The Qur'an and Its Study

An In-depth Explanation of Islam's Sacred Scripture

About this book

Over the course of six sections, this rich reference book explores the various areas of Qur'anic studies:

  • its language,
  • the history of its documentation,
  • its many disciplines,
  • the methods of interpretation,
  • its inimitability,
  • and finally, as a work of art.

The themes explored also include the impact of the Qur'an on Islamic civilisation, as well as the various classical sub-disciplines of Qur'anic studies, including the study of the variant readings (qir?'?t), the reasons for revelation (asb?b al-nuz?l), and abrogation (naskh).

Unlike some other works, Prof Zarzour also explores contemporary scholarship on the Qur'an, notably through a critical evaluation of modern tendencies such as the claim that the Qur'an contains scientific miracles, and an evaluation of some of the most recognised modern works of Qur'anic commentary (tafsir).
