An Inquiry into the Quran's Syriac origins and why Ibn Ishaq changed the earlier Islamic tradition

5 years ago

This video explores:
-Why Ibn Ishaq moved Muhammad further south, killed him off earlier and the later Islamic tradition depicts Muhammad as illiterate (contradicting the earlier one).
-The geographical region in which Syriac was spoken in the 1st century, 7th century and 11th century, and why that is relevant to Islamic origins.
- Two illustrative examples of Syriac source texts used for passages in the Quran
- The Nabataen Arabic is a pre-cursor to Quranic Arabic

Sneaker's Corner seeks to comment on and share some of the key moments from Speaker's Corner. Another goal is to explore in a critical way the origins of Islam, and in this regard, I must credit the work of Dan Gibson, Patricia Crone, Angelika Neuwirth, Jay Smith, Hatun Tash, David Wood, Robert Spencer, Douglas Murray, and many more who from different backgrounds have been asking challenging questions and contributed to my current understanding of Islam.
