I am a detective extraordinaire, a theological giant and I have concluded that you can't have your cake and eat it. Yes Poirot has become Muslim deal with it!
A poll to decide my next thread (limited time) . Both topics are quite good but need some work to make them simple. I have chased up a few more references. Let’s say both cases are wanting for the Christian polemic Tahrif free school. Christians can decide too!
Don’t get this fear to say that the Quran is **directly** engaging with accounts in the OT and NT. So many barriers of “exegetical gloss”, “homilies” “midrash” “folklore” and “confusion”. Me thinks this fear must be broken like the fear of a companion common link. 😛
@the_qadrii@MMetaphysician Out of curiosity, it seems obvious to me that Sinai know of the significant published work that has the Quran repeatedly sanitizing prophets etc. Can that all be just placed in the category of “exegetical gloss”? Seems odd.
@Jay_49erTikTok@KhalilAndani@JR3q02 Are you saying every time the Prophet had revelation it was a literal book sent down ? Clarify for me your argument
@Jay_49erTikTok@KhalilAndani@JR3q02 I am at loss to how your argument even follows if propositions are written down. Kitab is a qualitative term and it can be written, recited, whispered and still be called Kitab. It can refer to part and whole.
@ThePrussian1@allahs_servant1@Leafywashere00 And I am saying that your hurdles tell me you don’t quite understand the subject. Why this standard of an individual manuscript being “complete”

43 Umayyad seals discovered in Narbonne 🇫🇷, Arbūnah in Arabic. These seals were used to rivet leather straps closing bags of booty. The Arabic inscription reads: "lawful booty shared at Arbūnah". This is therefore the booty from the raid of 719.
