Abstract

The enemies of the Qur'an have tried in various ways and for various reasons to introduce the Qur'an as non-divine. In this regard, Dr. Saha has considered the occurrence of abrogation in the Qur'an as a sign of its humanity through claiming the occurrence of abrogation in the Qur'an and his own definition. Because, according to him, abrogation is the reason for the existence of misunderstanding and conflict, and in the word of God, which is the absolute universe, such problems may not exist. In part of his book "Critique of the Qur'an", by relying on hadiths from Sunni sources, he has tried to show that Muslim scholars believe in all kinds of abrogation (abrogation of ruling, abrogation of reciting, abrogation of reciting and ruling) and concluded that the occurrence of abrogation is a denial of the revelation of the Qur'an. Because there is a contradiction between the abrogation of the Qur'an and the principle of the immutability of God's word. Due to the wide range of topics, the present study, in a descriptive-analytical method with a critical orientation and based on library sources, only examines and criticizes the documented news and hadiths of Saha and the interpretations about them. The finding of the research suggests that the documented hadiths which criticizes the Qur'an are weak and cannot be cited and do not prove any claim. Therefore, in the Qur'an, there is no abrogation and there is no plausible reason to prove the claim.
