Holy Qur’an, Holy Prophet (PBUH), Synonyms, Orientalists, Refutation of DoubtsAbstract
Islam is the complete code of life. The Prophet (PBUH) and his companions made every effort to safeguard it. They handed it over in fully preserved form without any flaw to their true followers. However, adversaries of Islam have been trying to find faults with safety of Qur’ān and the life of Prophet (PBUH). Orientalists are among them. Orientalists are those non-Muslim scholars, who do their research about Muslim’s beliefs, culture and values. Their purpose is to double edge. First to create doubts in the minds of Muslims regarding their religion. Secondly to marsh hated in the hearts and minds of non-believers. This is why these prejudiced scholars criticize Qur’ān and the personal life of Prophet (PBUH). In the following discussion we have analyzed these objections in detail regarding the safeguard of the Holy Qur’ān during the time of Muhammad (PBUH). In this article, it has been endeavored to analyze the usage of synonyms in the Qur’ān, their logic and reasons. When we read the Qur’ān words, there seems no any synonymic word but when we focus deeply, we find numberless words which have the similar meanings clearly or metaphorically in the Qur’ān. In the Qur’ān, each word has a specific meaning in its usage.

It is attributed to the French monk Joubert, who was elected Pope of the Church in 999 AD that he was the first to study the sciences of the East, in Andalusia, and then the travelers continued to the East until the Council of Vienna in 1312 AD, which decided to establish five chairs in Western universities to teach the Arabic language, and began to organize and arrange the so-called Orientalism.
