Description
“Then Satan sighed and said, ‘You are the cause of all this enmity and envy. Because of you, I was cast out and deprived of my glory in heaven among the angels, and because of you, I was cast down from the heights to the depths… After the Lord fashioned you in His image and breathed the breath of life into your nostrils, Michael brought you so that we might worship you in the presence of the Lord.’”
With the meticulousness of a compiler and the penetrating insight of a researcher, the great thinker Firas al-Sawah worked on this book, relying on the Qur’an, the Torah, the apocryphal books, and the Haggadah to present, with complete impartiality and in a scholarly manner, a comparative study of Qur’anic narrative texts and their counterparts in the Torah. He began by discussing the Old Testament, its books, its history, and how it reached us, including the books not accepted by the Church. He then moved on to the history of the revelation, compilation, and writing of the Quran. He proceeded to narrate Quranic stories and their counterparts in the Torah, such as the stories of Abraham, Lot, Ishmael, Joseph, Moses, David, Solomon, and other prophets. It is worth noting that the research did not stop at the stories of the prophets alone, but also addressed the similarities between the two texts and what they contain regarding the story of creation, the Day of Judgment, the destruction of Jerusalem, Cain and Abel, the Flood, Iblis (Satan), and the afterlife, while also mentioning the mythological origins of some of the stories.
