WHO WROTE THE QURAN

Muhammad (S), the greatest man ever to set foot on earth, was born inMakkah in the year 570 CE commonly referred to as 'Aam-il-Fil (Year of theElephant). He belonged to Quresh that were the most honored tribe ofArabia for being the custodians of Ka'bah, the holiest shrine in the land.Note: Scholars have agreed that even after the most diligent research, it isalmost impossible to determine the exact dates of events duringMuhammad's (S) lifetime.Muhammad (S), like all Arabs, belonged to the progeny of Ismail a.s.Ibrahim a.s. on Allah's Command, had settled his elder son, teenager Ismaila.s. (Ishmael) to reside permanently in Makkah along with his motherHaajirah. Contrary to the Biblical statement, Hagar was not a bondwoman.She was the daughter of the Egyptian/Syrian king. Abraham kept travelingbetween his second wife Haajirah (Hagar) in Makkah and first wife Sarah inCan'aan (Syria-Palestine). Ismail married a woman from the Qahtani Tribeof Jurham and became the ancestor of Musta Ribah (Arabianized Tribes orthe Arabs.)So the Arabs are, interestingly, descendants of a Hebrew father, Ishmaeland a Qahtani Jurham mother, Wasiqa. They had twelve sons in their longand happy married life. The Qahtanis are still abundantly found in theArabian Peninsula. They were a wandering tribe in Southern Arabia whohad settled around Makkah before Ismail a. s.The “Wilderness of Beer-Sheba” of Genesis 21:14, embraces SouthernPalestine and Hijaz (roughly, the land between and around Makkah andMadinah). Therefore, the Bible and the Quran are in agreement concerningwhere Hazrat Ismail and his mother Haajirah had settled after moving fromCan'aan.This history also explains why the Quran repeatedly asserts that the Arabshad not received any Scripture before the Quran. Obviously, the Arabsbecame a community long after their ancestor, Ishmael had passed on.THE KINGDOM OF SHEBA: In Yemen had collapsed in 115 B.C. They wereovertaken by the Himairis who ruled until 300 CE when other tribesovertook the control of Yemen. They were in turn defeated by the ChristianKingdom of Ethipoia-Abyssinia when they invaded Yemen in 525 CE. Thekingdom appointed Abrahah as the Viceroy of Yemen.ABRAHAH PLANS TO DEMOLISH KA'BAH: The Roman and the AbyssinianChristians longed for converting the idolaters of Arabia to Christianity.They also sought control of the trade routes between Arabia, Syria, Persia55
