The problem of applying structuralism to the religious heritage (the Holy Quran), an analytical study

Abstract

In light of the development that appeared in the horizons in modern linguistic studies, modernist critics emerged who transgressed the boundaries of ancient studies of the Islamic heritage. To us, the modern critics are indifferent and do not consider the specificity of the Qur’anic text, and the research came as a victory for the text, not for the methods, even if the scientific necessitates the opposite, because we believe in the sanctity of the Holy Qur’an, and that it is the only text that is different from the rest of the texts of different types, with which everything turns to it and does not turn to others. . In fact, the modernist figures did not call for a break with the Islamic heritage interpreting the first text - according to their claim - but rather called for working on the Qur’anic text itself, and they justified the reason for that claim that the text is the centerpiece of Islamic civilization, so its interpretations and interpretations must be multiple.
