A Critical Analytical Study of the Orientalist Noldeke’s Claims About the Sahabah “the Companions of the Prophet Mohammed” in His Book “The History of the Quran”

Abstract

This study is entitled Noldeke’s Claims About the Sahabah “the Companions of the Prophet Mohammed” in His Book “The History of the Quran”. This study’s critical approach discussed the views and fallacies of Noldeke in his book “The History of the Quran”. Noldeke’s book included many contests and suspicions related to the collection of the Quran and the method of receiving it. Consequently, this has made it necessary to detect these contests and clarify their motives and aims using a critical and scientific approach. The study followed a critical analysis approach and consists of three parts: An introduction, two studies, and a conclusion. In the conclusion, the most important findings were included. There was an obvious bias from Orientalists against Islam and its scholars on the one hand and against the Sahabah (the companions of the prophet Mohammed peace be upon him) on the other hand.
