Encyclopaedia of the Qurʾān

Encyclopaedia of the Qur'an

The Encyclopaedia of the Qur'an (EQ) is an academic encyclopedia with articles on the most important themes and subjects of the Qur'an.

The publisher, Brill, describes the encyclopedia as follows:

Muzaffar Iqbal, reviewing the Encyclopedia, writes that The perspective that emerges... rest on the supposition that the Qur'an is not the actual Word of God... but a human construct, originating orally at a specific time and place and undergoing textual “evolution” like all other oral texts and that this differs from the entire corpus of Muslim scholarship on the Qur'an [which] is based on the premise that the Qur'an is the Word of God... protected from any corruption... hence, for them, certain questions related to the text of the Qur'an, so often discussed in modern academic scholarship, have never been valid questions
