Books on Sciences of Qur'an, compilation/preservation

[salahuddin_ayyubi]

Assalamu alaykum

Can anyone refer me to any English language books, lectures and articles on the Quranic Sciences, history of Compilation/preservation of the Qur'an etc... I am currently reading through The history of the Qur'anic text from revelation to compilation: A comparative study with the old and new testaments (http://islamicbookstore.com/b7626.html) by Muhammad Mustafa al-Azami. Very good so far, so I was just wondering if anyone had more resources.

Also, if there are any good books that touch upon the orientalist claims with regards to the qur'ans preservation etc...

JazakAllah khayr

An Introduction to the Sciences of the Qur'aan by Yasir Qadhi is really good. It has a chapter on the orientalists aswell.

wa’alaikum as-salaam,

You could try The Qur'an and the Orientalists: An Examination of their Main Theories and Assumptions ( http://kitaabun.com/shopping3/product_info.php?products_id=2233&osCsid=b0d) by Prof. Muhammad Mohar Ali rahimahullah. Although I’ve not read it myself yet, I’ve heard positive reviews about it from brothers that have.

salaam bro

HERE (http://www.islamic-awareness.org/Quran/) is a link to a site where it lists pretty much all the orientalist (contemporary and historical) and there "arguments". the site does a nice job of giving ALL the refutations and more.

I also found the below sites relevant:

And

Ulum Al Qur'an by Von Denferr (http://islambasics.com/index.php?act=lib&cat=cat&catID=5040&page=1)
