The Quran Is Man-Made, Not Divine

Derek is launching a new series unpacking the myths, legends, and folktales woven into the Qur’an—showing how many stories reflect the Late Antique storytelling world rather than a verbatim dictation from an angel. We’ll trace parallels to Jewish midrash, Christian apocrypha, and regional folklore: the People of the Cave, Dhul‑Qarnayn (Alexander romance), Harut & Marut, Solomon and the jinn, Mary under the palm, and Jesus speaking as an infant/clay birds. Clear, evidence‑based, and respectful—no polemics, just sources and context. Subscribe to follow the whole series. By the end of this, there should be no doubt that the Quran is a human product, not given by Allah or Angels/Demons.
