Abstract
The history of Western scholarship on the Qur’ān demonstrations that it was directed, by and large, by polemic motifs. The roots of anger and hatred were so entrenched in the literature that it had lasting effects in two folds. On the one side the echoes of the then produced works on the Qur’ān can be heard in the contemporary western works on the Qur’ān. On the other hand, influenced the Muslim thought in a way that mostly they reject the Western academic scholarship setting it in the same old prototype of old polemic tradition and orientalism. The recent Western scholarship on the Qur’ān try to ensure the Muslims that it had liberated itself from the centuries old chains of bias and hatred. A debate can be witnessed among the western and the Muslim scholars on this issue. The western academicians try to inculcate the idea that the rise of objectivity and the scientific methods in the West has affected the discipline Qur’ānic studies. Hence, they claim for a transformation and in the recent western Qur’ānic studies.
