How much do you really know about Islam? Is it possible that we've never been told the full story about the historic origins of Muhammad, Mecca, and the Qur'an? In this midweek episode, Frank continues his fascinating conversation with Islam expert, Dr. Jay Smith, who has dedicated his life to evangelizing Muslims. Together, they expose the shocking lack of historical and manuscript evidence for the Qur’an, the prophet Muhammad, and even the city of Mecca itself. Together, Frank and Dr. Smith address questions like:
- What is the earliest manuscript evidence for the Qur’an, and why do over 2,000 variants raise serious concerns?
- Are parts of the Qur’an based on Christian hymns?
- Is Islam a Christian heresy?
- Who is John of Damascus and why did he call parts of the Qur’an despicable, terrible, and evil?
- Why did a top a Muslim scholar recently admit that we don’t have good historical evidence for anything written about what Muhammad said or did?
- Why are most Muslim scholars so hesitant to talk about the Qur'an’s apparent problems?
- What's the problem with the Black Stone of Mecca located in Saudi Arabia?
- Could Islam have originated somewhere other than Mecca?
- Is it possible that the Muhammad of Islam never existed?
- What are the four major claims Muslims make about the Qur’an and how do they compare to Jesus and the Bible?
- What is Dr. Smith's advice for Muslims and Christians when it comes to responding to this material?
This riveting conversation will not only expose the inconsistencies in Islam’s origin story, but also highlight the unmatched reliability of the Christian faith in contrast. We should encourage our Muslim friends to consider a better Man and a better Book--Jesus and His Word!
