Abstract

After the revelation of the noble Qur’ān – the guiding book of all – by God onto the noble Prophet (s), some people accepted it while some others denied it. Then, the question that comes to mind regards the backgrounds and sources of the polytheists and opponents’ denial of the qur’ānic verses. In this article, we apply a descriptive-analytical method to inspect the qur’ānic verses in order to respond the abovementioned question. The investigation of the qur’ānic verses reveals that some sources of the denial of the Qur’ān include polytheists’ disbelief, their great contrariness, enmity, and arrogance, their worldly attachments and insistence on the materialist opinions, their denial of the Resurrection Day, and their erroneous values.
