It is apparent to anyone having carefully read the Quran that Muhammad was clearly influenced by the various Christian sects that flourished during his time. It is equally obvious that his views on Mary were heavily impacted by the teachings of Byzantine Christianity, much of which can still be found

The Quran emphatically testifies that one of its main functions is to confirm/bear witness to the textual reliability and authority of the very Scriptures that the Jews and Christians had with them during Muhammad’s time: O Children of Israel! call to mind the (special) favour which I bestowed

According to Islam’s earliest and most reliable sources the following Quranic passage, Have ye seen Lat and ‘Uzza, And another, the third (goddess), Manat? What! for you the male sex, and for Him, the female? Behold, such would be indeed a division most unfair! These are nothing but names

The Implications There are several crucial points to glean from this particular narration. First, Muhammad’s characterization of his error is astonishing to say the least.

A particular Muslim polemicist raised the following objection in response to the Christian understanding that the Hebrew word echad, which Deuteronomy 6:4 uses to describe the oneness of God, actually points to God being a complex or compound unity, as opposed to existing as a singular or absolute one:

In this post, I am going to be citing the various English renderings of Philippians 2:6, which is part of what many scholars believe to be a hymn, poem and/or creedal statement (commonly referred to as the Carmen Christi [“Hymn to Christ”]), which affirms the Lord Jesus’ divine

Addressing the objections of a Muslim greenhorn We continue from where we previously left off /2018/09/01/the-quranic-affirmation-of-the-holy-bible-revisited-pt-1/. Unfortunately for this greenhorn, his very own Islamic traditions and scholars confirm that the Quran has been badly corrupted and is missing much of its contents. For instance, in the Muqaddamah

Addressing the objections of a Muslim greenhorn I am going to be responding to some of the objections that a particular Muhammadan polemicist raised in the following “rebuttal”: https://mustafasahin33.wordpress.com/2016/08/26/does-the-quran-approve-the-bible-vs-does-christians-approve-the-bible/ The neophyte writes: Point 2: If Christians want to assert that the Quran does
