Abstract
One of the issues of humanity has emphasized throughout history is transmission of words to future generations. Humanity has tried to find solutions and to prepare conditions to protect traditions, lyrics, and texts most accurately. Islamic civilization has been more advanced in terms of the transmission of words such as hadiths and other Islamic narratives compared to the civilizations of its time. The West developed several methods of criticism on the texts of the Bible after the ancient texts, reform, and enlightenment. These advanced methods, which are seen as the next step of content criticism, are called “historical criticism methods”. In this study, the author deals with historical criticism methods, critiques made to these methods, and the problem of applying them to Islamic narratives in various aspects.
