Kings and Generals animated historical documentary series on the history of Islam continues with a video in which we discuss the revisionist school of Islamic studies. Previously we introduced the Revisionist school of Islamic Studies and the root off its debate with the Traditionalist school (   • Are Historians Wrong About the Origin...  ). In this video, we take a closer look at some of the key debates in the revisionist school of Islamic study and how they challenge traditional narratives. We start with The Direction of Qibla: Was Petra the Original Mecca?, where we examine claims that early mosques faced Petra instead of Mecca and why some historians question this idea. Then, in Discussions Around the Quran: Its Origins and Compilation, we go through different arguments about when and how the Quran was standardized—whether it happened during Caliph Uthman’s time or much later under the Umayyads or Abbasids. In Evaluating the Evidence: Traditional vs. Revisionist Claims, we break down historical records, early manuscripts, and inscriptions to see which arguments hold up. Finally, in Conclusion: Weighing the Arguments, we look at both sides of the debate and let you decide. Watch along as we explore these controversial questions.
