Critical Analysis On The Bases of Orientalists in the Belief of Quranic Adoption from the Old and New Testaments
Journal Title: International Research Journal of Applied and Basic Sciences - Year 2013, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
The similarity in elements of stories found both within the Quran and in the Old and New Testaments, has led some Jewish and Christian scholars from the second century onwards to raise the theory that the Quranic stories have been adopted from the Old and New Testaments. Their viewpoints are based on several basic theories, the most important of which are similarity in the stories revealed and the assertion that Prophet Mohammad was being familiar with the Old/New Testaments before his appointment to prophethood. In their view this leads to the denial of the Quran as a revealed text. However, the internal evidences (e.g. different concepts from historical reports of the Quran and Old/New Testaments), discrepancy within the artistic and technical features of the Quranic stories as compared to the Old/New Testament stories, as well as external credible reasons counter this view. However, archeological findings, historical evidence and geographist investigations approve the concepts within the Quranic stories and disapprove some of the Old/New Testaments narrations. The conclusion being the refusal to accept that the Quran was adopted from the Old/New Testaments. Moreover, the genealogy of both Testaments seriously challenges the revelatory aspect of Biblical content.
