Abstract

Bringing up the issue of distortion, the writer addresses the two reasons given by Fayḍ in relation to the Qur'an as being literally undistorted. Then, he proceeds to explain the traditions concerning distortion, contending that in view of Fayḍ these traditions relate to intellectual distortion and the interpretation of the verses, rather than to literal distortion.
Finally, he goes on to deal with the Fayḍ's criticism of those who believe in distortion, and regards their reasons as incomplete in his view.
