This study critically examines the methodological and epistemological challenges posed by the hermeneutic project of Nasr Hamid Abu Zayd, specifically his approach to the religious text. The research focuses on his controversial application of "historicity" and the "humanization of the text" to the Holy Qur'an; concepts that attempt to shift the understanding of the text from a transcendent, divine paradigm to a relative, human framework bound by contextual realities and reception. A central focus of this study is the tension between the immutability of the Qur'anic text - understood as a sacred, linguistically and spiritually stable structure - and Abu Zayd's hermeneutic assertion of historical meaning. By framing the Qur'an as a cultural product shaped by its socio - historical conditions, Abu Zayd's approach creates a profound paradox between the absolute authority of the divine text and the relativity of human understanding. Employing a critical-analytical methodology, this paper deconstructs the epistemological foundation of Abu Zayd's project. It identifies a fundamental methodological conflation between two distinct realms: the Qur'anic text as transcendent revelation, and Islamic heritage as a human, historically contingent product. The study argues that this unjustified conflation inappropriately extends the critique of human heritage to the divine text itself. Ultimately, the research concludes that erasing the methodological distinction between divine revelation and human intellectual heritage subjects the Qur'an to the exact same historical and hermeneutic mechanisms used to analyze general Islamic history. This erasure collapses the epistemological boundary between the sacred and the profane, thereby introducing profound methodological issues regarding the limits of textual historicity and the nature of scriptural authority.
