The hermeneutic mechanism of understanding the Qur’anic text for orientalists

Abstract

This study aimed to illustrate new aspects in the way the Qur'anic text is studied among non-Arab Orientalists, and how to deal with the Qur'an with their own perspective. The curriculum of study is descriptive and analytical, interspersed with criticism in some places that require it. One of the most important results of the study was to know how Orientalists used Arabic grammar, but their use and understanding of these rules and their application to the Holy Quran was not successful. Some Orientalists twisted the neck of some Qur'anic verses and interpreted them in proportion to their prejudices, towards saying the Trinity in Islam, the multiplicity of gods, the recognition of the caste system and others. They separated from the dependence of some of them on Syriac rules in the interpretation of the Holy Qur'an.
