Did al-Zuṭṭ Ride Muham­mad ? A Crit­i­cal Philo­log­i­cal Reassess­ment of a Mod­ern Anti-Islam Polemic

Polem­i­cal Rebuttals Mohd Elfie Nieshaem Juferi -
This study dis­man­tles the al-zuṭṭ hadith polemic through close read­ing, lex­i­cog­ra­phy, and nar­ra­tive con­trol. By restor­ing con­text to yark­abūn, exam­in­ing trans­mis­sion vari­ants, and com­par­ing Semit­ic par­al­lels, it shows how innu­en­do trans­la­tion exploits pol­y­se­my, sup­press­es clo­sure, and man­u­fac­tures scan­dal with­out his­tor­i­cal war­rant with­in dis­ci­plined philol­o­gy and sober method­olog­i­cal lim­its alone here

State of Flux : Con­test­ed Doc­trines in Ear­ly Christianity

Chris­tian­i­ty Mohd Elfie Nieshaem Juferi -
Ear­ly Chris­tian­i­ty lacked a sin­gle, uni­fied the­ol­o­gy. This arti­cle shows how lat­er ​“ortho­doxy” emerged through his­tor­i­cal con­sol­i­da­tion rather than orig­i­nal consensus.

The Death of Muham­mad ﷺ : Poi­son, Prophet­hood, and the Mis­read­ing of Sources

Polem­i­cal Rebuttals Mohd Elfie Nieshaem Juferi -
The death of Muham­mad ﷺ exam­ined through Qur’anic lan­guage, hadith con­text, and his­to­ry, expos­ing how poi­son claims rely on mis­read­ing sources.

Nabeel Qureshi (1983 – 2017): The Shock­ing Truth Behind a Man­u­fac­tured​“Ex-Mus­lim” Martyr

Op-Ed Mohd Elfie Nieshaem Juferi -
Nabeel Qureshi died at the age of 34 years old in 2017 from a ​“rare and dead­ly form of stom­ach can­cer” on 16th of Sep­tem­ber 2017 with mixed reactions.

Paul Says That Mark Is Futile : No Res­ur­rec­tion In Mark’s Gospel

The Bible Ibn Anwar -
But the first of the four gospels, i.e., the Gospel accord­ing to Mark, appar­ent­ly did not receive Paul’s memo. And this is a very impor­tant point as we keep in mind that each of the gospels were ini­tial­ly divorced from each oth­er and were writ­ten in dif­fer­ent local­i­ties for dif­fer­ent audiences.

The Gospels’ Accounts Regard­ing the Call of the First Disciples

Bible Con­tra­dic­tions Mohd Elfie Nieshaem Juferi -
So which is the cor­rect Gospel account con­cern­ing the choice of Jesus’ first apos­tles ? The fol­low­ing Bible con­tra­dic­tion was extract­ed from an unpub­lished the­sis enti­tled Ibn Hazm On The Doc­trine of Tahrif which cites Kitab al-Fasl fi al-Milal wa al-Ahwa’ wa al-Nihal and insha’allah this will be part of an ongo­ing series to repro­duce extracts of Ibn Hazm’s crit­i­cisms of the Bible and Christianity.

On The Reli­a­bil­i­ty Of Luke As A Historian

The Bible Mohd Elfie Nieshaem Juferi -
One of the most pop­u­lar argu­ment often pro­posed by mis­sion­ar­ies as ​“evi­dence” that Luke was ​“inspired”, or at least some­one who we can blind­ly trust with­out sec­ond thoughts, is as fol­lows : he was an excel­lent his­to­ri­an who con­duct­ed a care­ful inves­ti­ga­tion dur­ing the course of com­pos­ing his books. 

Ali Sina’s​“Under­stand­ing Muham­mad : A Psychobiography”

Book Reviews Mohd Elfie Nieshaem Juferi -
For those who are famil­iar with ​“Faith­free­dom Inter­na­tion­al”, the name of its founder Ali Sina (a pseu­do­nym) is syn­ony­mous with the big­otry and vile rhetoric often dis­played against Mus­lims and Islam. He open­ly advo­cat­ed for the atom­ic bomb to be used on Mus­lims and declared that he will ​“wipe out” Islam with­in 30 years. 

King Abdul­lah I : The Zion­ist Inva­sion As Seen by the Arabs

His­to­ry His Majesty King Abdul­lah I of Jor­dan (1882 – 1951) -
King Abdul­lah dis­putes the mis­tak­en view that Arab oppo­si­tion to Zion­ism (and lat­er the state of Israel) is because of long­stand­ing reli­gious or eth­nic hatred.

A Jew­el It’s Not : Review of​“The Jew­el of Med­i­na : A Nov­el” by Sher­ry Jones

Book Reviews Glenn C. Altschuler -
After Denise Spell­berg, asso­ciate pro­fes­sor of his­to­ry and Mid­dle East­ern stud­ies at the Uni­ver­si­ty of Texas, assessed the man­u­script as ​“a very ugly, stu­pid, piece of work” which turned sacred his­to­ry into soft-core pornog­ra­phy and warned that pub­li­ca­tion could pro­voke vio­lence, Bal­lan­tine Books, a divi­sion of Ran­dom House, con­sult­ed with secu­ri­ty experts and then nego­ti­at­ed an agree­ment with Jones to ter­mi­nate their $100,000 two-book contract.
