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
