The Mecca BibleTreasured History of Ancient Arabia by Muhammad Mustafa Mansur MDThree groundbreaking hypotheses are presented that challenge Western biblical studies:1. The book posits that the Promised Land was in the Mecca region of Saudi Arabia rather than in Palestine.2. Mansur's work suggests that the ancient Israelites were originally Arabs who followed the teachings of Abraham and later adopted the Law of Moses. Over time, they drifted away from their beliefs following the Babylonian exile, ultimately embracing Islam with the arrival of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). Furthermore, the book raises questions about the modern Jewish lineage, citing contemporary Y-DNA studies.3. The author contends that the Old Testament and Moses' tablets were originally written in the ancient Arabic of the Kinana tribe, which had inhabited western Arabia since the 3rd millennium BCE. Despite being received in a 22-letter Aramaic script, the book argues that the scriptures should be read using the full 28 Arabic letters.Building upon the geographical reconsiderations introduced by Dr. Kamal Al-Salibi in "The Bible Came from Arabia," Muhammad Mansur revisits both the language and geography of the Bible, uncovering a rich heritage deeply rooted in Arab history. This perspective is invaluable for comprehending the contemporary history of the Middle East. Dr. Mahmoud ShurayhMuhammad Mansur is a physician and researcher with a focus on ancient Arabian history since 1984. His keen interest in biblical studies has led to the creation of two Arabic bestsellers: "The Mecca Bible" (2020) and "Old Heritage" (2023), the latter offering a trilinear reading of the historical chapters in the Hebrew Bible.
