İlk Bakışta Çelişki Görünümü Veren MÜŞKİL ÂYETLER ve ETRAFINDA OLUŞAN BİLİMSEL EDEBİYAT

Muskilü’l-Qur’an means the problematic and so-called contradictory verses in the Qur’an, which at first glance seem to contradict each other, as well as the name of Qur’anic science that aims at researching those problematic verses in the Qur’an and getting reasonable answers to them. Since the very first decades of Islam these verses have been exploited as to arouse suspicions and questions in the minds of ordinary people about the divinity character of Qur’an. In the first centuries of Islam the atheist groups, which had been identified in the history of Islam by the terms “zenadika” and “melahida”, had made an attempt to misuse these verses. By the colonization history of Islamic countries during the 18. and 19. centuries, we see that the Western Orientalists and recently especially after the extended using of Internet the missionary cites had been paying more attention to and interested in these verses with the same purpose as before. In this work we will handle and study the term of Mushkilu’l-Qur’an, problematic and so-called contradictory verses, the reasons that cause them to be misunderstood and the methods of interpretation being used to deal with those verses, as well as we’ll examine the scientific literatures that have been written by the Muslim scholars in this field century by century.
