Abstract :
Objective(s): This article is seeking to examine the relationship between historical statements of the holy Quran and statements of the science of history. Methods: The article has been written based on descriptive-analytical method. Its historical materials and data were collected based on bibliographical documents. Results: The science of history can be categorized into two major branches: humanistic experimental sciences and naturalistic experimental sciences. Quran can be categorized based on the Divine teachings. In this article, the relation between statements of the science of history and historical statements of Quran has been examined and the following results obtained 1- The relationship between unity and conformity; some of the Quranic historical statements are exactly consistent with some of the statements of science of history. The fact that such statements have been just recently discovered in the history science, they show scientific miracle of the holy Quran in the field of history. 2- No statement of science of history, which is considered definite in the view of historians, is inconsistent with historical statements of the holy Quran because the Revealer of the scripture is the one who has the absolute science and wisdom. 3- Some of the statements of the science of history have no relationship with the historical statements of the holy Quran and are quite distinct issues. Some of these statements can be used for better interpretation and comprehension of Quran and historical narrations. 4- We can find some historical statements especially in the area of historical traditions of Quran which the science of Quran has not yet discovered them. Such statements can be a source of inspiration for history scholars. Even they can pave the ground for the advent of new history theories. 5- In the issue of discussions around the reason behind the revelation of Quranic verses and sacred narrations we can regard the issue of consistency with the definite statements developed by historians as a criterion for understanding Quranic verses and narrations. Conclusion: The study findings suggest that Quarn could help historian to understand the science of history more perfectly
