Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, I have heard about the book *Pre-Islamic Poetry* by one of the modern Arab writers, and it contains a contradiction of the Noble Qur'an. What is your view, Honorable Shaykh, of this book?
Answer:
This *Pre-Islamic Poetry* by Taha Hussein, the well-known writer, who studied in France and adopted the ideas of the disbelievers, stole this book from some Orientalists. It was not originally his; he stole it from some Orientalists, manipulated it, and put his name on it, or some Orientalists gave it to him and ordered him to do so as a form of sabotage. It is a defective, misguided, and deviant book, may Allah protect us from it. The scholars of his time refuted it, silenced him, humiliated him, and exposed him to the people.
