Abstract

The Orientalists have employed variety of methods in Qur’anic instructions and Islamic teachings such as phenomenology, sociology, semantics, psychology and comparative studies. Each of these methods has likely a contribution in unveiling the truth and cognition. But if these methods are utilized merely (particularly if used exclusively) and without applying other manners as complementary, it would entail some improper and erroneous results.
