Abstract

Ever since the Qur’anic revelation, it has been opposed by different kinds of accusations and claims. This paper discusses one of the main accusations raised historically and in present-day; the questioning of the source of the Qur’an. This matter has been raised by Orientalists, whom resorted to selectively picking parts of Islamic topics to raise doubts about them. As significant efforts of Orientalists interested in Qur’anic Studies have been put in writing the Encyclopedia of the Quran, the importance of discussing articles in this encyclopedia arises . This paper discusses the article titled “Informants”, written by Claude Gilliot, who is a chief editor of the encyclopedia . This paper consists of three sections: 1. Introduction to the encyclopedia and the author of the article, 2. Presentation of issues/doubts raised in the article, 3. Discussion and analysis of these issues/doubts.
