I don’t think that Ghamidi sahab has ever said that established history is a pre-requisite to understand the Quran. What he has stated is that as humans we have only three primary sources of knowledge: experience / empirical evidence, inference through intellect, and established history. Quran establishes itself as a fourth source of knowledge on the basis of these three primary sources. In other words, when we read the Quran, it provides evidence from these three sources to convince the reader that it is a word of God. Once we understand that then we have to believe in the knowledge that the Quran provides us with as well.
