Abstract

In order to know any idea, one must know the criteria set by the same idea, and it is necessary to see the criteria by which orientalists, especially those who study the Holy Qur'an, study the Qur'an, and what is their attitude towards revelation, prophecy and the Holy Book? In this article, Richard Bell's book Introduction to the Qur'an, revised by his student William Montgomery Watt, translated into Persian by Khorramshahi under the title "Introduction to the History of the Qur'an", delays again in relation to revelation and prophecy to determine what objections to the theory It is included and whether the criteria of Quranology have been observed in this book or whether the Quran has been studied with a standard that Christianity understands from revelation, prophecy and the book. In this descriptive-analytical and critical approach, it is concluded that Richard Bell has a misinterpretation of revelation and prophecy rooted in non-Shiite sources, weak hadiths, and Christian thought.
