Approaches of the Imāmī Shīʿa to the Qurʾān in the Context of the Allegation of Distortion and the Collection of the Qur’ān

Abstract

Abstract: Narratives regarding the allegations of distortion of the Qurʾān is a matter which has been uttered by some orientalist all along. Gist of the matter is based on that the Qurʾān revealed to the Holy Prophet by Allāh is even more than the one that we have today and that some of the words and verses of the Qur’ān was distorted thereby changing or decreasing by mistake or on purpose. The source of these discourses stands on the reports of ḥadīth and tafsīr scholars who are members of Akhbārī ecole of the Imāmī Shīʿite. However, the general concurrence of the ummah is that this kind of situation, in the meaning deficiency and multitude, which damages the correct integrity of the Qurʾān is never valid. Actually, the idea intended for the distortion of the Qurʾān is a situation that cannot include the majority of the Imāmī Shīʿite. Because a great number of scholars who are the members of the Shīʿite-Imāmī tradition refused on account of the fact that these kinds of reports are al-khabar al wāḥid so they do not have the the exact argument and information value. In this article approaches of the Imāmī Shīʿite –in the context of early, classical and recent epoch- intended for the allegations of distortion are analyzed comparatively. In the respect to its relation to the subject, the approaches of the Imāmī to the collection of the Qurʾān are also mentioned.
