Unfortunately, @MohamadMurtaza_ completely misrepresents the field. Crone: If you really think Crone "brutally refuted" Schacht on his fundamental doubt about Ḥadīth as a source, then sigh, what can I say? Her views on this topic are well-known. Motzki's own words: “The…

In the Qur'an, muslimin and mu'minin are NOT the same group. Likewise in Constitution of Medina. What @DrJavadTHashmi proposed in his debate with @DrShadeeElmasry is a good adaptation/tweak of Donner: mu'minin is those who have faith and submit to the Prophet in all respects;…

Historians consider this story to be fictional. There is also debate about whether the name is an endonym or exonym, the former indicating that they "withdrew" from the political fitna between competing factions.

Ghazālī famously Takfīred Ibn Sīnā and Fārābī. There is no denying this fact. One can argue that later in his life, he became much closer to Islamic philosophy and mysticism, but early in his career, he was undoubtedly extreme with his views.
My next book is coming out on Sep 10: "The Islamic Moses: How the Prophet Inspired Jews and Muslims to Flourish Together and Change the World" (@StMartinsPress) And now, for just 3 days, Barnes & Noble (@BNBuzz) offers a chance for preorder with 25% off: bit.ly/3Ulkl5n

@InspiringPhilos @DrJavadTHashmi I'm attending his lecture series with @BartEhrman in two weeks.
@HashUrTag @_niaz__ @Abraham81891703 @DrJavadTHashmi @khateeb88 Niaz has just pointed out that your inference here was invalid. You should concede that. x.com/hashurtag/stat…
@_niaz__ @Abraham81891703 @DrJavadTHashmi @IslamicOrigins @khateeb88 So then all Ahadith have to be true since none of the narrators had any motives to diss Rasulullah ﷺ, no? That’s not how you grade the validity of a claim. It’s funny how you guys will just reject or accept claims based just on how palatable it is to you. 🤡
@HashUrTag @Abraham81891703 @DrJavadTHashmi @IslamicOrigins @khateeb88 Basics of logic: A true implies B false does not mean A false implies B true. And discounting hypocrites in Muhammad's midst, there were several motives for Hadith forgery: political / sectarian conflicts, legal / theological debates, racism and chauvinisms, story-telling etc.
@Abraham81891703 @HashUrTag @DrJavadTHashmi @IslamicOrigins @khateeb88 Check the isnad. Was it transmitted by people whose motive is to diss Donner? Then the reliability is in question. We can't just take this Hadith at face value and assume Donner really made such claims.
Throughout history, protests were co-opted and made to look bad so police and public leaders would shut them down. That’s what we are seeing now at Columbia University. The Columbia protesters have made clear their demands and want their school not to be complacent in the ongoing…
@Archetypical20 @DrJavadTHashmi @AbdalQaim Plenty of people are predisposed to the opposite thesis and the thesis itself. This is really irrelevant though.
@Archetypical20 @DrJavadTHashmi But one can be religiously pluralist without accepting the Donner thesis or any variation thereof. You are positing a causal relationship here that doesn’t necessarily exist.
@DrJavadTHashmi @Archetypical20 Sorry but suggesting that Khalil’s views on this are related to his religious proclivities is simply false. He’s certainly not echoing a Nizari Ismaili view on this subject. Rightly or wrongly, this is a conclusion he came to on his own and it IS an academic opinion.

Nazi germany went even harder at students, executing them for their criticism of the Holocaust. The scare tactics & mass harassment of the militant Zionist empire will also be history soon. I am glad the #FreePalestine student movement is only gaining strength by the day. 🇵🇸
My colleague, @IslamicOrigins , recently published a very interesting and beautifully written article to study the hadiths on the origins of the art of Arabic writing.
A new article of mine was recently published by the Journal of Islamic Studies: "‘Where did you learn to write Arabic?’: A Critical Analysis of Some Ḥadīths on the Origins and Spread of the Arabic Script"
Got some big announcements to make hopefully in the next few days. Stay tuned.
