Abstract

Qurʾanic studies examines issues related to understanding of the Qurʾan. The orientalist Juynboll has examined some of the most important topics in Qurʾanic studies including revelation, collection, and recitation of the Qurʾan. The present study evaluates his ideas concerning these issues. This library study takes an analytic and critical approach to the topic at hand. Descriptive methods are also utilised. Though examination of the views of Juynboll concerning Qurʾanic sciences is the focus of this endeavour, the views of Muslim scholars are also considered for completion of the study. Through examination of Juynboll’s views on Qurʾanic sciences, it is clear that he has conducted significant research on Islamic sources. However, his use of weak (ḍaʿīf) Islamic narratives has led to errors in some areas of the Qurʾanic sciences.
