Abstract
Based on his speculations and methods of literary analysis about the exegesis of the verse, “It is not fitting for a man that Allah should speak to him except by inspiration, or from behind a veil or by the sending of a messenger to reveal, with Allah’s permission. What Allah wills: for He is Most High, Most Wise.” (chapter Shura, verse 51), John Wansbrough states different kinds of God’s talking with human beings. By examining the keywords “revelation”, “hijab” and “sending messengers” in this verse and their applications in other verses, he seeks to show that the Qur’an was adapted from the Testaments. Using analytical-critical method, this paper evaluates his hypotheses. It explains and shows the shortcomings of the opinions of this American Qur’an researcher and professor at the University of London about God’s speaking in all three types of revelation, non- synonymity of revelation and sending, various uses of hijab in the Qur’an and the differences of these uses with those in the Testaments, a lack of implication of Elqi on divine revelation or satanic inspiration and so on.
