Delve into the intri­cate link between Rim­mon, a Syr­i­an pagan deity, and Islam’s ar-Raḥmān. Through metic­u­lous analy­sis, we dis­pel false con­nec­tions, under­scor­ing the schol­ar­ly rig­or essen­tial to unrav­el­ing such mis­con­cep­tions and main­tain­ing aca­d­e­m­ic integri­ty. This exam­i­na­tion sheds light on mis­sion­ary strate­gies aimed at dis­cred­it­ing Islam, high­light­ing the imper­a­tive of rig­or­ous inquiry in schol­ar­ly discourse.
