Ibrahim in Ancient Babylonian, and other names of Prophets

Every day there are new signs in the heavens and the earth in support of Allah ’ final revealed Book, the Qur’an. The Christian attempt to discredit the Qur’an and its linguistics is ongoing, and in reality the truth is always with the Qur’an.

I was reading a book the other day entitled “Return to Soddom and Gommorah” by Archealogist Charles Pellegrino, An agnostic with no known bias towards any particular religion. Although previously a Christian, he seems to have not much knowledge regarding Islam, as he does not mention the Qur’an int he majority of his book, which is regarding the stories of the Bible from an archaelogical perspective.  He writes:

“Abram (known as Abraham in later years, as Ibrahim to the writers of Babylonian cuneiform) was, according to Genesis…” ( p 141)

“When Max Mallowan and a half dozen other archaelogists began unearthing cuneiform tablets bearing the name Ibrahim (Abraham), they could not help jumping to the conclusion that the Tiger-Euphrates plain was offering up clues that the patriach of Genesis was in fact a historical reality.” p 142

Later on he writes that many people in Babylonia may have beared that name. However, my point is that the true pronunciation of Abraham is Ibrahim as Allah says in the Qur’an, as Ibrahim (alayhe salam) was in Babylonia.

The Preservation of the the names in the Qur’an, as opposed to the Torah.

The Babylonian Cuneiform for Ibrahim is obviously a sign of the truthfulness of the Qur’an, as opposed to what the Jews say. Other names pronounced by the Jews have incorrect pronunciations, mostly due to the lack of preservation of the Torah. It is well known that the vowels of the Torah were not preserved, thus much of its pronunciation being lost and distorted.
