Did Abraham Trade His Wife in Egypt or Build the Kaaba in Mecca?
My detailed analysis of the “chosenness” of the Israelites in the Qur’an. With its logic, clarity, and consistency, the Qur’an corrects the Jewish and Christian forms of misunderstanding this concept

The Holy Land in the Qur’an: Descriptions, Location, Ownership, and Function
God’s covenant with Abraham is a foundational theme in the Bible. Yet the unconditional chosenness of the Israelites makes the covenant rather ambiguous and inconsistent with other teachings about God in the same book. Free from the ethnocentricity of the Bible, the Qur’an presents a clear, consistent, and far more convincing account of the Abrahamic covenant.

Abraham’s Covenant: A Qur’anic correction of Biblical History and Theology
God’s covenant with Abraham is a foundational theme in the Bible. Yet the unconditional chosenness of the Israelites makes the covenant rather ambiguous and inconsistent with other teachings about God in the same book.

The Supremacist Ideology of American Exceptionalism and Exceptionalising Israel
America’s entrenched self-image as a chosen, exceptional, redeemer nation is borrowed from the Hebrew Bible, having been modelled on the history of the Israelites. American exceptionalism has been the main driving force behind the creation of Israel in Palestine. America sees Israel as a confirmation of its own self-identity. American exceptionalisation is not only a supremacist ideology but the most dangerous in the world.

Israel’s Unprecedented Destruction of Moral Standards in the World
Never in history before has a state, nation, or dictatorship succeeded in coercing or convincing this many governments, organisations, groups, and individuals to actively support, passively approve of, or stay silent on genocide, ethnic cleansing, mass killing, and treating civilians as legitimate collateral damage.

The Qur’an’s Universal God and the Hebrew Bible’s Ethnocentric God
In this video, I focus on a fundamental difference between the account of the Exodus in the Qur’an and the Old Testament. Although this difference is theological, rather than historical, it still provides further testimony to the accuracy and coherence of the Qur’an and exposes the paradoxical nature of the Biblical account.

The Qur’an’s “Pharaoh of Awtad”
The Qur’an describes Pharaoh with the unique title “dhū al-awtād” (of awtād), which I argue particularly applied to Ramesses II. This is another significant piece of information in the Qur’an that does not exist in the Old Testament’s narrative of the Exodus.

A History of Understanding the Qur’an’s Verdict on Jesus’ Crucifixion
From the early days of Islam, the overwhelming majority of Muslims and non-Muslims understood the Qur’an as unambiguously denying the Jewish and Christian claim that Jesus was crucified.

Identifying the Qur’an’s “One” Pharaoh
Unlike the Bible, the Qur’an speaks about one Pharaoh. The Pharaoh in whose reign the Prophet Moses was born is the same Pharaoh who led his army chasing Moses and the Israelites when they escaped from Egypt, and who ultimately drowned in the sea. This fact has the potential to unambiguously identify Pharaoh.
