Critical Analysis of the Proposed Theories on How the Holy Quran Was Collected

The Holy Quran is the most important religious heritage and the foundation of Islamic civilization. Various works have addressed the subject of the Quran history since the third century AH. Proving the authenticity and accuracy of the text of the Holy Quran, as the most important source of the religion of Islam, is related to the knowledge of the history of the Holy Quran. These works, like all other scientific works, can be criticized in terms of their research approach and method. In many of these works, the nature of the Quran as a historical and social phenomenon has not been taken into account, and this issue has led to the weakness of the method of studying the Quran history. Therefore, rewriting different parts of the Quran history, considering the historical and social nature of the Quran, based on scientific approaches and methods, is a necessity, and by using different approaches of structuralism and critical approach, studies of the Quran history can be written in a manner that is more in line with historical truth.
