Seyfeddin Kara presents "Shiʿi Reports on the Distortion of the Qur’an: Nature and Origins."The notion of the distortion of the Qur’an has been one of the thorniest topics in the academic study of the Qur’an. Although it has been mainly attributed to Shiʿis, since very early on, Shiʿi theologians have denounced such a possibility, taking a firm position on the textual integrity of the Quran. Nevertheless, several reports, mainly attributed to the fifth and sixth Shiʿi Imams, indicate that the original Quranic text was distorted. In this lecture, I will discuss the findings of my ongoing research that, for the first time, traces the origins of some of these Shiʿi reports.
