The Book of Mormon: Scriptures Revealed or Man Invented

By Dr. Abdul Wahid Yusuf

Acknowledgments

No work of this nature is written in isolation. It is the product of years of inquiry, mentorship, and grace.

I wish first to thank Allah, the Source of all knowledge, for granting me both faith and reason — and for guiding my heart toward clarity amidst the complexity of belief.

My gratitude extends to my teachers of Qur’an, Hadith, and Theology, whose patience and wisdom shaped my approach to knowledge. Among them, I honor the legacy of the scholars of Ahl al-Sunnah wal-Jamāʿah — those who preserved the balance between intellect and revelation, following the path of the Salaf al-Ṣāliḥīn.

To my Christian mentors and professors of Biblical and Mormon Studies, I express sincere appreciation. Their openness in discussion and rigor in research allowed for dialogue grounded in respect rather than rivalry.

To my students and colleagues, whose questions and insights refined my arguments and deepened my conviction that truth stands clearer when examined with humility.

To my family, whose patience sustained me through years of study and writing, and whose prayers remain the unseen strength behind every page.

Finally, to the readers — scholars, believers, and seekers — who approach this work not as polemic but as reflection: may it illuminate without offense, and clarify without compromise.

This book is not written for victory, but for vision.

“Say: This is my path — I invite to Allah with insight, I and those who follow me.”
— Qur’an 12:108
