Muhammad of Islam vs Muhammad of History - Dr Jay Smith (NAPC 2026, London)

Does the "Muhammad of Islam" match the "Muhammad of History"? In this presentation from the NAPC 2026 in London, we dive deep into the origins of the Islamic narrative and the shocking lack of early documentation supporting the standard story of Muhammad's life. For centuries, the world has relied on the "Standard Islamic Narrative," which claims that Muhammad's biography and sayings were preserved through an unbroken chain of oral tradition (Isnad). However, when we apply the same historical-critical methods used to study the Bible, a much different picture emerges. #quran #muhammad #bible #jesus #christ #christianity #muslim #islam #polemics #apologetics
