Abstract

Abstract:
The research aims to reveal the methodology used by the Orientalists when taking citations from the Holy Quran, by tracking a number of the inferences of the academic doctor and the priest "Joseph Qazi" from the Holy Quran as a model for the Orientalists. The research explains how he cuts the text out from its context and then interprets it from his own view, and sometimes commits outright lies. This is a clear indication that we do not face real suspicions, but rather face sick minds and hearts that follow the allegorical verses (Mutashabihat) in order to arouse suspicions and deviant interpretations.  The research follows the deductive text analysis approach, and is applied to the first of the  books of the priest in order to continue later, from me or others. A number of important findings are obtained: we do not face real suspicions, but rather the deviation comes from those who deal with the text when they take some of it and leave some of it, and when they interpret it from themselves without regard to the linguistic and sharia significance, and the opinions of concerned scholars.
