The Reflection of the Bible's Narrations in the Qur'an from the Perspective of Angelika Neuwirth: A Case Study of the Prophet Moses (AS)

The relationship between the Qur'an and the Bible is one of the topics that has always been of interest to the Orientalists and the Qur'anic scholars. Meanwhile, Angelika Neuwirth has provided a perspective which is different from that of her predecessors. From the perspective of Angelika Neuwirth, the Biblical narrations have been reflected in the Qur'an in various ways, all of which are due to the epistemic context in which the Qur'an was revealed. Neuwirth has called this epistemic context Late Antiquity, which has inherited many of the theological and religious teachings of the antiquity, and the Qur’an, as an oral and dynamic collection, has been interacting and debating with these traditions. The story of Moses is one of the issues that Neuwirth has examined, and has attempted to explain her point of view in the form of case studies. This paper tries to examine the viewpoint of Neuwirth in studying the story of Moses. The reflection of Bible narratives without its influence on the Quran is a view that can be obtained from the study of Angelika Neuwirth's research.
