Journal Title: Dini Araştırmalar -Altı Aylık Bilimsel Dergi- - Year 2014, Vol 17, Issue 45
Abstract
Medieval Jewish thinkers who lived under Islamic rule occasionally put forward their thoughts on Islam. Karaites, the influental Jewish sect of Medieval Ages, also penned polemics against Islam in their writings. Among them, Jacob al-Kirkisani comes into prominence. In his Kitab al-Anwar wa’l-Maraqib, he dedicates a special chapter in order to refute the prophethood of Muhammad. In this chapter, he also criticizes Muslim belief of i‘jaz al-Qur’an. In this article, Kirkisani’s views on Islam will be examined and evaluated
