Contemporary Shia's View on Claims of Corruption in Quran: Some Determinations within Shia Quran Histories
Abstract
Corruption is one of the topics about which, in favor or against,
the maximum amount of information is available in Shia sources.
Narratives on this topic show that no absolute cansensus survives
within Shia. Same traditional Shia writers who believe in the corruption
on Quran suggest that all Shia agree in favor of corruption
whereas those who do not believe in corruption say majority have
never embraced the idea of corruption. Accordingly, both parties
claim that Shia's notable imams support their own perspective.
However, written sources indicate that views against corruption
within Shia account for more. Contrary to the tradition, a cansensus,
within contemporary Shia, against narratives related to corruption
may be mentioned. So much so that, narratives and
claims related to corruption are not located in Quran histories
written in recent centuries. Furthermore, contemporary Shia intellectuals
absolutely deny corruption by stating that same procorruption
narratives in traditional Shia sources are weak and
same even are baseless.
This study, conducted based on Quran histories, is on contemporary
Shia's perception of Quran and the Book
