...the “country of the datepalms.”
The Negus, the Christian ruler of Abyssinia, accepted Islam without ever having met Muhammad, and while the Muslims were still a small group, widely held in contempt and frequently fighting for their lives.
One wonders, if Christian scholars and Christians of prominent position accepted
Islam during a time when the Muslims were a persecuted minority lacking wealth,

18:2334 and Luke 19:1121). The title “Lord” does not in itself imply divinity, and we
see this when Sarah called Abraham “Lord” (1 Peter 3:6). Nonetheless, Christians present
John 20:28 as evidence, in which Thomas is quoted as having identified...
