THE CREATION OF THE QURAN

The historic-critical approach to the Quran offers a new perspective on the origins of the Book and challenges the narrative taught by Islamic sources. We now know more about the history of the text's composition, which reveals the modifications it has undergone over time. Several examples will be presented through detailed case studies. Furthermore, we can now answer questions that have long puzzled historians: where does the Quran come from? Who wrote it? What were the motivations of its author(s)?

In this section, we will attempt to dissect the creation of the Quran using the tools and methods of modern historians.
