Ulum al-Qur'an: On Revelation, How It Was Preserved and Understood, and Why It Is True

This is a Level Two course in the Islamic Studies Curriculum.

“This,” Allah Most High says about the Quran, “is the Scripture in which there is absolutely no doubt.” (Quran, 2:2). The Quran is certainly from Allah Most High. This becomes clear with a study of the text, its proofs, and its preservation. This course is an introduction to the Sciences pertaining to the Quran (‘Ulum al-Quran), which aims to explain what the Qurʾan is, prove its truth, and to understand the tools needed for Qurʾanic commentary.

To do this, it explores how the Quran was revealed to the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace), how it has been impeccably preserved down to our times, and why we are certain that it could not have been invented by the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace). After this, the only conclusion that remains is that we are certain the Quran could only have been revealed to him by Allah Most High Himself.
