Orientalist , critiscm , and islamic response .
WHAT IS ORIENTALIST : this word is coined from the orient which means the act of changing direction in order to face east .
Under this explanation, we think it is also benefitting to make you know some terms that are linked with orientalist . An Example of such can be extracted from :
1. ORIENT: This clinically means the act of putting our direction to face the east .
2. ORIENTAL STUDIES : this is the academic field of study that embraces near and far eastern societies , culture , language , people 's history and archeology .
HENCE : Orientalist can now be referred to as the name a scholar of oriental studies is called
THE FOLLOWING ARE SOME OF THE MIS-INTERPRETATIONS OF SOME ORIENTALISTS AND THEIR SUITABLE RESPONSES :
1. Orientalist f.buhl claimed that ( qur 68 vs 6 ) means that some verses of the quran cannot be preserved .
The joint answer of the ulamaas to that is that the aayaahs had already been abrogated by Allah , meaning the verses are among the nasuq wa mansuq . And qur(68:6) is where Allah was telling the prophet that he won't make him remember
2. Also orientalist margoliuth claimed that prophet ( s.a.w) had once forgotten a verse .
He brought out a proof from an authentic hadith reported by bukhari and muslim that sayyidah ayisha ( r.a ) said : the prophet once heard one of his companions reciting the quran and he ( prophet ) said : " rahmatul-llahi , laqad azkartanii aayatan kunta ansiitaha " meaning ; peace of Allah on you , you have just remembered me a verse i had forgotten .
The simple answer to this is also an hadith of prophet s.a.w which the prophet proclaimed that " i am a human being like you only , i am liable to forget and if i do , please remember me "
3. Some said the quran was not well arranged and why the restriction of wahy to a few numbers of people .
The answer to this also goes thus ; the uniqueness of the quran makes it different from other books complied by humans and it even shows that quran is not written humans being . The restriction of wahy , that is , the revelation of the quran to prophet alone makes it unique , thus , if wahy is been revealed to everybody , there will not be value for the quran and that may lead to contradiction and mistakes in the holy quran .
