 كتاب ، بصيغة pdf، تأليف محمد خليفة، وهو من أبرز الرسائل التي تناول القرآن والاستشراق، حيث استوعب فيها المؤلف أغلب الشبهات والمزاعم والأباطيل التي روجها المستشرقون على مر التاريخ.

ويبدأ الفصل الأول من الكتاب بالحديث عن تأليف القرآن، وما زعمه المستشرقون في ذلك، وفي الفصل الثاني من الكتاب يوضح لنا أن هذا الأسلوب ليس لبشر، بل هذه تكوينة إلهية، لا يصل إليها أحد، وفي الفصل الثالث يتناول المؤلف التدوين الأول للقرآن.

ويخصص الفصل الرابع للحديث عن الأوامر النصية في الكتاب، وفي الفصل الخامس ينتقل للحديث عن الترجمات الإنجليزية للقرآن الكريم، وما أحدثته من خلل وسوء فهم في كثير من المواضع، وفي بقية فصول الكتاب يتناول الحكم الخاطئ على القرآن بسبب الترجمة، والإسلام كما عُرف في القرآن الكريم، وموقف القرآن من الديانات الأخرى، والأخلاق القرآنية، والقرآن والأمور الغيبية.
