One of the most striking continuities between the Qur’an and the teachings of Jesus in the Gospels is the shared language of commerce, exchange, treasure, and purchase in describing salvation and the Kingdom of God.

The intertext between Prophetic hadith and the Syriac Gospel (Matthew 24:24) — a sign of the unity and finality of revelation in Islam

Solomon & the Birds in Sūrat al-Naml (27:15–26): A Theological Argument for the Divine Origin of the Qurʾān

Hi guys, here we have another example of Qurʾānic engagement with the wider Judeo-Christian tradition, this time on the question of the alleged killing of ʿĪsā b. Maryam (Jesus, son of Mary).

It’s been a while since I last posted, life’s been busy lol, but I wanted to share another really interesting intertextual point about the Qur’an and the Gospel tradition. It’s small on the surface, but actually very deep.

Yet another precise echo across semitic languages There’s a small, almost hidden detail here, in this example I found, it’s technical, but difficult to dismiss once you notice it.

1/ Reading Book of Obadiah 1:15–21, I couldn’t help but notice how familiar the rhythm feels. It speaks about a Day drawing near… about deeds returning to their owner… about a justice that doesn’t miss.

Eid Mubarak to every Muslim worldwide!

Small detail, but really interesting (this one is short and sweet folks): In Qur’an 20:61, the word يُسْحِتَكُمْ (yushitakum) is used, meaning “to annihilate” or “wipe out.” It’s a rare term and only appears here, in the story of Moses confronting Pharaoh.

Thread: Between luḥūm and ḥesed — the inward axis of sacrifice There is a certain stillness that settles when two distant scriptures begin to speak in the same register, not by imitation, but by convergence.

One of the beautiful ideas shared across the Qur’an and the earlier scriptures is something very simple: remembering God. In the Qur’an, the word often used is dhikr (ذِكْر). It comes from the root dh-k-r, which means to remember or to mention.

One interesting linguistic feature of the Qur’an is how it participates in the wider Semitic scriptural tradition. Words and roots that appear in earlier revelations often show up again in the Qur’an with closely related meanings.

This is also an incredibly beneficial short read for those interested. almuallaqat.substack.com/p/introducti...

Just a little something I cooked up. www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/botmg...

Across the Abrahamic scriptures appears a striking eschatological motif: the earth transformed into a vast plain at the end of days. The Qurʾān describes this cosmic transformation, while Prophetic ḥadīth provide vivid geographic detail. Interestingly, echoes of the same imagery appear in the—

1/ A “Famine of the Word”: Amos 8:11 and the Prophetic Vision of Vanishing Knowledge in Islamic Eschatology A small reflection on one of the most fascinating continuities between biblical prophecy and the teachings of the Prophet Muḥammad ﷺ. And fittingly, it begins with Amos.

Exploring the truth of Islam through textual study. I share examples of Qurʾānic intertextuality with Biblical and post-Biblical traditions, and arguments for the prophethood of Muḥammad ﷺ from the Qurʾān, ḥadīth, and history. Sources cited. Yes, another Amos—still a devout Muslim.
