Abstract

Among the miraculous signs of the Holy Quran is its eloquence (balaghat wa fasahat); Although the challenge of the Quran has been and is proof of the invalidity of the idea that it is on behalf of humans; However, since the beginning of its revelation, unsuccessful attempts have been made against the Holy Quran. Among them is the book “Criticism of the Quran” attributed to a delusional person with the nickname “Doctor Soha” who, in a part of his book, through a process of proving the error in the writing, has denied that the Quran was revealed, and then denied the existence of God and prophethood. In this research, Dr. Soha’s three related concepts were analyzed and criticized in a library-based with analytical and comparative methods. The topics of this article are organized according to three verses (Taha/63), (Nisaa/162) and (Baqarah/62) and based on literary rules, and in examining the sayings of syntax experts and commentators, the best answer is by giving priority is mentioned or by summarizing the sayings, a single procedure was adopted so that the statements not only did not contradict each other; rather, according to the rule of “Al-Jamu’ Mahma Amkan Awli nin al-Tarh (removing contradict is good by anyway)” they should confirm each other and while proving the miracle of the Quran, the aforementioned claim of the Orientalists will also be invalidated
