H.....u.....g....e controversies? according to who? Some "Youtube scholars"? All I see is some (non-academic) WP:RS reporting that Salafists/Wahabbists/Saudis are in a way "pissed off" upon its publication. Criticism on the other hand is an essential aspect of scholarly tradition. No human work lies (or should lie) beyond the realm of criticism. And most of the reviewing scholars I see are in agreement that this book is a "monumental contribution" in Quranic studies despite some of their legitimate criticisms targeted at the book. Here are some of the scholarly reviews:

In addition, Criticism section in general "should be avoided in an article because these sections call undue attention to negative viewpoints." On the other hand, presenting both the positive and negative viewpoints from reliable scholarly sources, I repeat, scholarly sources fairly, proportionately, and without bias within the article (that would be most preferable) or within the existing Reception section would be the best thing to do. The book reviews included in this comment can be a guide for anyone willing to do that job. Thanks. Mosesheron (talk) 11:11, 20 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
