What if Islam was born not in the desert but in the church?
When the Christians of Najran came before Muhammad and said, "We were Muslims before you came" - was that courtesy, or were they naming a forgotten kinship? Today the two religions face each other as strangers; yet both came through the same centuries, the same languages, the same battles over the one God. Their scriptures name the same prophets, hallow the same cities, carry the name of the same God - and still the road between them is held to be closed. Seventh-century Arabia was no empty stage: monasteries and bishoprics, banished heretics, hymns crossing the desert. This book follows that sentence from Najran and opens the files of the forgotten kinship, one by one.
At the heart of the book stands a single word: hanif. In Syriac, ḥanpā was a slur; the church pressed that stamp on those it counted as heretics. The Quran took the same word and made it a title of honour for the religion of Abraham. To understand how a slur became an honour is to find the corridor between the two religions; for history is a memory in which the meanings of words change hands between cultures. The book follows the first hanifs' distance from idolatry, their sense of justice, their mercy toward the orphan and the poor; to be hanif is not a title stamped on a card but the face of faith turned toward the right way. Following the trail of a single word sometimes teaches more than reading the archive of an empire.
Then the long line opens: Paul's break with the apostles and the widening rift between him and Jerusalem; the entry of Philo's Logos into Christian doctrine; the traces the Roman mysteries of Mithras left in the language of the rite; the voices of the Trinitarian quarrel silenced at Nicaea; the fight of Arius, "the most fruitful heretic in history," and of Nestorius over the one God; Muhammad's letter to Heraclius and his bond with the Negus of Abyssinia; the name "Allah," already spoken in pre-Islamic Mecca; the hanifs from Waraqa to Zayd, who turned to the one God before the revelation; the counterparts of the ritual prayer in Syriac Christian worship. At every station the same line appears: Islam can be read not as a rupture with the monotheistic Christian currents of late antiquity but as their natural continuation.
This is not a book of polemic. It works with the tools of Semitic philology and with the earliest sources; it rests on texts, not on chains of transmission woven later. In every chapter the reader sees the source: Paul's letters, the records of the church fathers, Syriac baptismal and prayer texts, the Quran's own testimony. It treats the history of faith not as closed islands but as crossing paths and shared inheritances. It passes no verdict; it suspends assumption and follows the evidence - not the dogma.
To the Christian reader this book returns a forgotten branch of his own history: the monotheist vein the church suppressed. To the Muslim reader it shows the pre-Islamic life of his own vocabulary: the family tree of the name "Allah," of the prayer, of hanif-ness before the revelation. And to the reader with no tie to religion it tells one of the great transmission stories of the world: how a faith flowed into a language, a language into an empire, an empire into a new religion. In an age that sets the two religions against each other, reading their shared family tree is equally uncomfortable and equally freeing for both sides. This book takes no one's religion away; it introduces everyone to the history of their own words.
Readers who love Tom Holland's accounts of late antiquity, or Karen Armstrong's comparative histories of religion, will feel at home here; those who enjoy books that follow one word across the centuries will find philological detective work. When the book closes, that sentence from Najran reads differently. Perhaps the Christians of Najran were not merely being polite.

(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
