About This Product
Malek Bennabi offers a profound and original perspective on the miracle of the Qur'an, placing it within a broader philosophical and historical context that transcends traditional Muslim discourse. His exploration challenges readers to reconsider the course of religious history and the deeper dimensions of the human condition. Beginning with a comprehensive review of both ancient and modern critiques of the Qur'an, the book delves into the remarkable story of its divine preservation. Bennabi examines key moments in the Qur'an's transmission: the reception of revelation, the Prophet Muhammad's role in teaching and disseminating the verses, and the meticulous compilation of the text during and shortly after his lifetime.
This scholarly work also addresses linguistic and historical questions, such as the origins of the Arabic language, its palaeography and orthography, the debated Mushaf of Ibn Mas'ud, and the rigorous methodology employed in collecting and verifying textual fragments. Through this detailed analysis, Bennabi reaffirms the Qur'an's enduring integrity and offers a compelling intellectual response to its critics.
