About this listen

When a message cannot be dismissed, its source is attacked.

In this episode, the accusation shifts from madness to manipulation:

What if Muhammad isn’t receiving revelation at all? What if someone is teaching him?

We follow the spread of a quiet rumor in Mecca—whispers about a foreign slave, a supposed secret teacher, and borrowed stories from ancient scriptures. But instead of responding with emotion, this episode dissects the accusation piece by piece.

Through linguistic analysis, historical context, and strict logical reasoning, we ask:

  • Can a broken foreign tongue produce the most refined form of Arabic ever recorded?
  • Can fragmented folklore give rise to a worldview that reshapes law, ethics, history, and cosmology?
  • And why would an unlettered man be the unlikely—but perfect—recipient of a universal message?

This is not a story about defenders and attackers.

It is an examination of cause and effect, source and output, and the quiet collapse of an argument under its own weight.

A whisper meant to discredit—

that ends up revealing something far greater.

by Muhammad Attar
