In The Most Amazing Miracle of the Quran: Islamic Monotheism, Dr. Eeshat Ansari makes a powerful claim. Islamic Monotheism (tawhid) is unique and so pure that it can only come from the true God. It is beyond human capability to imagine such far-reaching and subtle monotheistic ideas. Here is the evidence: Allah is not similar to anything or any other being and is beyond human imagination.

Western Christianity's long-standing support of Israel has, perhaps unintentionally, nurtured a prejudice against Arab people—the descendants of Abraham's first son, Ishmael. Author Tony Maalouf contends that this bias differs dramatically from the biblical portrayal of Ishmael and the nations that have sprung from him. With meticulous research and theological astuteness, Maalouf surfaces the positive portrayal of the Arab people in ancient and prophetic history, clearly showing that the Israeli-Arab conflict is a recent development in history.

Surah al-Jinn (“The Jinn”) is the 72nd chapter of the Quran, with 28 verses. The name as well as the topic of this chapter is jinn.

In the Quran, it is stated that humans are created from the earth and jinn (demon) from smokeless fire in more than one instance. Only human and jinn have free will.
