The reason why we identify as Christians, Muslims, Jews, Hindus, etc. can be explained by man's altricial nature. We choose our religion mostly because we are born into it. It will be good, no doubt, if we arm ourselves with knowledge of the origin of our religion. This book is a scholarly inquiry into the origin of the different religions and a deep dive into the life of Prophet Muhammad, how he got his revelations, the origin of the Quran, and the 'Naked' truth we ought to know about Prophet Mohammed and Islam.
 
One of the central messages in this book is how most of the practice of Islam was poached from either Christianity, Zoroastrianism, or Jewish religion. If you want to know more about how it happened, get a copy of this book. Going forward, we learned how Prophet Mohammed gained power among the desert dwellers by employing tools like the Aya, the message of the new Deen, and the divine revelations. Also, reading through, you will see some disparities between the historical account of Islam among scholars, the history of Zakah and ṣadaqah, the location of the three ancient copies of the Quran, the first printed edition of the Quran, and where it was printed. This book is loaded!

The history of the evolution of Arabic script, the meaning of the word Arab, and the reason why Diacritical marks, namely, Fat’hah, Dam’mah, Kasrah, and Sukoon, were introduced are the things you will learn from this book. This book has a history relating to Allah, Muhammad, and the Quran. The striking thing about this book is that the author made a lot of strong statements and backed them up with evidence.

Honestly, I admire the amount of energy the author invested in making this book a reality. For the first time, I read a book that went deep enough to explain the origins of the major religions (Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, etc.). In this book, you will find evidence about the Jewish prediction of the age of the universe, when Muhammad was born, and many more.

The thing I dislike about this book is that it is purely academic, with a lot of unique words that I couldn't find in the dictionary. I struggled to make sense of most of the words since I didn't grow up as a Muslim. There is a repetition I encountered in this book; the last paragraph on page 59 and the first paragraph on page 60 are just the same. The editing of this book is professionally done, and it gets five out of five stars from me regardless.

In conclusion, I recommend this book, The Theory of the Naked Truth about Allah, Muhammad, and the Quran by Wequar Azeem, to Muslims, especially Muslim scholars and truth seekers.

This is very interesting. I can’t say that I’’ve always wondered about the origins of these religions, becauseI haven’t. It is good to know that there is a book covering this subject, though.
