Abstract

Throughout history, deniers have consistently sought to undermine the core messages of divine messengers, particularly to achieve worldly gains. The comprehensive and eternal nature of the Holy Quran has made the mission of the Seal of Prophets (PBUH) uniquely vulnerable to such opposition. Consequently, a substantial portion of the Quran addresses these deniers' arguments. Given the continued relevance of these challenges today, understanding how divine revelation responds to such doubts is crucial.
This descriptive research meticulously examines the Holy Quran and consults authoritative Shiite and Sunni exegeses to identify and categorize relevant verses. The study reveals three primary axes of deniers' skepticism: the origin of revelation, the method of its descent, and the content of the Quran. In response, the Quran employs four distinct methods: presenting historical accounts, explaining doctrinal teachings, mentioning unseen news, and utilizing admonitory warnings. By elucidating these dynamics, this research sheds light on the enduring interaction between divine truth and historical denial.
