Is Surah 97 In The Quran About Jesus? - SUMMARY And COMMENTARY After Streaming With Mel & Murad

Welcome to the show.

Let's explore verses in the Quran which are difficult to fit into the Islamic narrative, as it seems to contradict basic Islamic beliefs.

After our livestream with Mel ( @IslamicOrigins ) and Saint Murad ( @SaintMurad ), we will break down the conversations and add sources and additional commentary. Hopefully this way we will manage to cover any corrections that need to be made (if any), or clarify things we said in the day.

Today's summary follows the conversation about Surah 97 and the hypothesis of it referring to the Nativity, and not the night of al-Qadr as understood in the Islamic sources.

See below on of the sources we are bringing to the table (from Christoph Luxenberg). Feel free to read the whole thing if you like and let us know your thoughts:
