Arabi Islami Uloom aur Mustashriqeen

Description

A critical study of Orientalist writing on Islamic sciences, beginning with Qur'anic studies and Hadith. The Qur'an section covers Orientalists' views on the sources of the Qur'an, the compilation of the Qur'an (the objections of Goldziher, Blachère and Casanova) and the variant readings. The Hadith section covers the early history of Hadith and fiqh, the Mu'tazila, and isnad (chains of narrators).
