Abstract: 
This study, titled The Qurans Unveiling of the Deviations of the People of the Book and Its Annulment is divided into an introduction, three chapters, and a conclusion. The study is an attempt to specify the meaning of the People of the Book and Islams position on their narrations, which pertain to religious affairs. In addition, the study has examined the deviations of the People of the Book in several aspects of their belief and ideology, such as their misconception of God, the Prophets, the Angels, Holy Books, and the Day of Judgment. The study has discussed the types of legislative deviations of the People of the Book in terms of social, economic, political, and military affairs. The study, as well, has brought to light many of their moral deviations and ingrained characteristics, as well as the consequences that this immorality had led to. The researcher has applied the above analysis to the verses of the Holy Quran, which pertain to the People of the Book. He has drawn evidence on their deviations from the Holy Quran, and referred, in some cases, to the Old and New Testament. The study has concluded the research with a major finding that the People of the Book, both Jews and Christians have diverted from the right path due to the changes and alterations they made to their books, and their turning away from the teachings of their Prophets. Finally, I have put down an index for the study.
