Dedication

This work is dedicated to seekers of truth — men and women of every faith who dare to question, reflect, and pursue understanding with sincerity.

To those who, amidst confusion and contention, choose contemplation over conflict — this book is for you.

And to the Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him), whose message restored divine clarity to the world’s search for truth; to Jesus, son of Mary (ʿIsa Peace be upon him), whose purity and message of devotion continue to inspire across centuries; and to all the prophets and messengers who bore the weight of revelation for humanity — may peace be upon them all.

May this work serve as a humble offering in the service of their legacy: the pursuit of truth in the light of revelation.

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-Jama’ah — those who preserved the balance between intellect and revelation, following the path of the Salaf as Saliheen.

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.
