Critique of Yusuf Haddad's Doubts About the Existence of Contradictions in the Verses of the Qur'an

Abstract

One of the miraculous aspects of the Qur'an that has been considered by thinkers since the beginning of Islam is its miracle in the guise of difference and the absence of contradiction. Due to a superficial analysis of the contents of the verses and the lack of correct principles and rules in the interpretation of the Qur'an, some Orientalists have been under the illusion of contradiction and have made contradictions about the Qur'an. One of them is Yusuf Haddad, who has attributed the existence of contradictions to the Qur'an, such as the creation of the earth and the sky, and the questioning or non-questioning on the Day of Judgment. In this article, while examining the doubts raised by him, he tries to state that the existence of any discrepancy and contradiction in the verses of the Holy Quran is nothing more than an illusion and the apparent contradiction that can be seen in the verses of the Holy Quran is removed with a little care and reflection.
