Journal Title: Ankara Üniversitesi İlahiyat Fakültesi Dergisi - Year 2017, Vol 58, Issue 1

Abstract

nubuwwah In medieval times, the Middle East region, where the believers of different religions, Judaism Christianity, and Islam, lived together, also prepared a setting for the education and training of scholars actively engaged with each other and for the emergence of a shared accumulation of knowledge. In thirteenth century, the Jewish scholar Ibn Kammūna, who was known for his studies on philosophical matters contributed to this knowledge by composing several works under the influence of Islam. One of the rare works outside the scope of philosophy is Tanqīḥ al-Abḥāth li-l-Milal al-Thalāth. Even though the interreligious works of that age are often polemical, Tanqīḥ al-Abḥāth draws attention with its content that containing objective information about Christianity and Islam. This study offers, based on the content of this particular work, an examination of the proofs of Muslim scholars about the passages in Torah and Bible interpreted to be heralding the advent of the Prophet Muhammad (bashā iru’nnubuvve) and an evaluation of the responses and criticims Ibn Kammūna levels against the proofs of Muslim scholars
