The Qur'an vis-à-vis Earlier Writings
·
We relate to thee the best of stories in what We have revealed to thee of this Qur’an, though thou wast before it among those unaware. (12:3) Preface As those who follow my work will know, I have been primarily interested in the question of how the Qur’an stands in regard to earlier writings for some time. My starting point and expectation was that the output of this project would take the form of a systematic comparison of every narrative in the Qur’an measured against writings which non-Muslims hold to as scripture, or to which they point as pre-existing the Qur’an and thus requiring a ‘defence’ by those who regard the Qur’an in keeping with its internal claim to be preserved revelation from God.
