The Qur’an, the Variables and New Issues

Abstract

This paper discusses and critiques a theory which states that the Qur’an is imperfect and cannot be generalized to all times and places and to all new and changing issues; such a theory requires that people continue to experience what the Prophet would experience in order to fill this void. Later in this paper we deal with the views of Sadr al-Moteallehin and Mowlana about the Qur’an and the relation between the Qur’an and Mathnavi. The paper then, in a firm and documented way, refutes the competing claim that these great people have offered new religious concepts, other the ones in the Qur’an.
