| Riepilogo: | Recently, Turkish academics have been increasingly interested in discussing the historicity of the Qur'an. Some revisionist academics think that the Qur'an was revealed in precise historical circumstances and primarily responds to such circumstances. Thus qur'anic commands in general are not universal and do not, therefore, satisfy the demands of all Muslims for all time. So a new understanding is inevitable. Having used both Muslim and non-Muslim sources, they try to develop a new methodology to transform qur'anic prescriptions for the present day. The scholars who adopt an anti-historical approach to the Qur'an hold the view that, by historicizing the content of the Qur'an, revisionist academics create an artificial problem. They believe this is not an internal Muslim problem but that this controversy was injected into the Muslim world with the promulgation of both modernity and Western influence. |
