Weeping Christians and the First Hijra to Ethiopia
Christianity and the Qur'an
Their Very Words? A Preliminary Evaluation of Reported Speech in the Qurʾan
Repentance in the Quran, Hadith, and Ibn Qudāma's Kitāb al-Tawwābīn
The Quran makes repentance an important element of piety and exhorts believers to repent of their sins. Numerous hadith also emphasize its importance, along with God's merciful forgiveness of the repentant sinner. In his K. al-Tawwābīn, the Hanbali scholar Ibn Qudāma al-Maqdisī (d. 620/1223) draws on a wide range of akhbār (always adorned with an isnād) to present examples of repentance of angels, prophets, Companions of Muḥammad, pious mystics, …

"The Human Was Created Out of Haste." On Prophecy and the Problem of Human Nature in the Qur'an
In this article it is argued that the Qur'an's doctrine of divine mercy is best understood in light of its pessimistic anthropology, an aspect of the text that is often underappreciated. The so-called "primordial covenant" verse (Q 7:172) of the Qur'an holds humans responsible for submission to God. The Qur'anic language on "signs" in the natural world suggests that humans should recognize God (and be grateful to Him) by reflection on nature alon…
The Qur'an and the Bible
A groundbreaking comparative study that illuminates the connections between the Qur'Ä?n and the Bible While the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament are understood to be related texts, the sacred scripture of Islam, the third Abrahamic faith, has generally been considered separately. Noted religious scholar Gabriel Said Reynolds draws on centuries of Qur'Ä?nic and Biblical studies to offer rigorous and revelatory commentary on how these holy books …
Noah’s Lost Son in the Qurʾān
In Kor 11 (Hūd), 42-47 the Qurʾān has Noah address one of his sons and plead with him to enter the ark. Noah’s son refuses to do so, explaining that he plans to seek refuge from the flood on a mountain. When the son is lost in the flood, Noah turns to God in order to ask that his son be forgiven. In the present article, I discuss the relationship of this Qurʾānic episode with larger themes in the Qurʾān—seen also in the material on Abraham and hi…
Al-Radd al-jamīl – A Fitting Refutation of the Divinity of Jesus
This work by Mark Beaumont and Maha El Kaisy-Friemuth is a study, edition and translation of a well-known anti-Christian polemical work attributed to Abū Ḥāmid al-Ghazālī (d. 505/1111), generally k
Quatre prophètes coraniques
1. No Dans la Sourate al-Tarm (66, Dclarer illicite ), le Coran s'occupe d'un problme entre le Prophte et ses femmes (v. 3-5). La tradition nous raconte qu'il s'agit d'un complot de deux femmes de Muhammad -afa et 'isha -contre sa concubine, Marie la Copte, un complot qui s'est droul durant la priode mdinoise. Suite aux rfrences aux problmes domestiques du Prophte, le Coran donne l'exemple de deux femmes infidles et de deux femmes fidles

The Quran and the apostles of Jesus
According to Islamic tradition the companions of Jesus in the Quran, theḥawāriyyūn, were faithful disciples. Critical scholars largely agree that the Quran means to present theḥawāriyyūnas such, and generally translateḥawāriyyūnas "apostles" or "disciples". Some add thatḥawāriyyūnis related toḥawāryā, the Geʿez term used for the apostles in the Ethiopic Bible. In the present article I argue that while the Quran indeed means to signal the apostles…

Le problème de la chronologie du Coran1
This study challenges the widespread scholarly assumption that the Qurʾān can only be properly understood when its suras are assigned to a chronological order based on the traditional biography of the Prophet. The first section of the study addresses the origins of this assumption, beginning with Islamic tradition and its reception in the XIXth century works of Gustav Weil and Theodor Nöldeke. The second section involves a critique of more recent…
The Qur'an and its Biblical Subtext
This book challenges the dominant scholarly notion that the Qur’ān must be interpreted through the medieval commentaries shaped by the biography of the prophet Muhammad, arguing instead that the text is best read in light of Christian and Jewish scripture. The Qur’ān, in its use of allusions, depends on the Biblical knowledge of its audience. However, medieval Muslim commentators, working in a context of religious rivalry, developed stories that …
The Muslim Jesus
According to most classical Muslim commentators the Quran teaches that Jesus did not die. On the day of the crucifixion another person - whether his disciple or his betrayer - was miraculously transformed and assumed the appearance of Jesus. He was taken away, crucified, and killed, while Jesus was assumed body and soul into heaven. Most critical scholars accept that this is indeed the Quran's teaching, even if the Quran states explicitly only th…
The Rise and Fall of Qadi Abd Al-Jabbar
Scarcity of information can present a difficulty for writing a biography. Abundance of information can do the same. As perspectives multiply, a subject sometimes becomes clearer; other times it becomes complicated. In Islamic studies, for example, the more sources that are uncovered on central historical figures such as the Prophet Muhammad, al-Hasan al-Basri, and al-Ghazzali, the more scholars are in dispute over their biographies. Yet historica…
A Muslim Theologian in the Sectarian Milieu
In 385 AH/AD 995 the Qāḍī ‘Abd al-Jabbār, well known for his Mu‘tazilī theological writings, wrote the Confirmation of the Proofs of Prophecy, a work that includes a creative polemic against Christianity. ‘Abd al-Jabbār reinterprets the Bible, Church history (especially the lives of Paul and Constantine) and Christian practice to argue that Christians changed the Islamic religion of Jesus. The present work begins with an examination of the contro…

Saint Thomas' Islamic Challenge
Sometime in the late 1260s, an unknown Dominican Cantor in the Crusader city of Antioch wrote a letter to Thomas Aquinas, presenting him with a number of Islamic challenges to the Christian faith. This letter inspired Thomas to write De rationibus fidei (On the Reasons of the Faith), a short treatise that presents his apologetic responses to each of the issues: incarnation, Trinity, salvation, eucharist and free will. The present article surveys …
