The opinion he presents regarding Isa is not supported by the Sunni scholarly tradition and is not sound. Having reviewed other portions of his translation and commentary, I find it to be problematic overall. Unless you are a Islamic scholar, it is not permissible for you to read this book because it may cause confusion in matters of your religion.\\n\"}]}","tags":[{"_id":"668d9fe50b76658b4c232867","tag":"Aqeedah: Sects and Religions","count":68},{"_id":"668d9fed0b76658b4c232951","tag":"Knowledge: Other","count":48},{"_id":"668d9fe90b76658b4c2328ce","tag":"Aqeedah: The Prophets","count":28}],"createdOn":"2026-02-27T17:49:54.633Z"}
