Using \u003ci\u003eisnād-cum-matn\u003c\/i\u003e analysis, Seyfeddin Kara discovers the historical origins of this disputed claim and illuminates the dynamic interplay between Sunni and Shiʿi traditionists. He demonstrates that \u003ci\u003eisnād-cum-matn\u003c\/i\u003e analysis is not only an important tool for dating hadiths but also crucial for uncovering forgeries. By identifying the individuals responsible, he provides new explanations of forgery culture in early Muslim society. Kara illuminates debates over the textual integrity and evolution of the written Qurʾanic text, offering insights into the enigmatic early history of Islam. By pushing the boundaries of \u003ci\u003eisnād-cum-matn\u003c\/i\u003e analysis, this book makes methodological advancements in the study of early Islamic history and contributes to its reconstruction on the question of the canonised Qur'an's integrity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Seyfeddin Kara\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1474462243\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474462242\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/31\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.87lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.59d","brand":"Seyfeddin Kara","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48460138971391,"sku":"9781474462242","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_04497921-444b-47a4-8292-07c5ad1b91ee.jpg?v=1777413259","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-integrity-of-the-quran-seyfeddin-kara-9781474462242","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
