The Illumination of Waraka

by A. Human Being (August 2016)

Ali Wheatley of Arkham’s Miskatonic University translated the following manuscript, which was discovered in the remains of the library of King Harshavardhana in Kanauj, The Harsha Empire, Central Bharat, which is now modern India. The manuscript is dated December 21, 633 ad and is ascribed to Waraka ibn Nawfal, who history records as the Nestorian priest who told Muhammad that the person who accosted him in the cave of Hira was the Angel Gabriel. It is worth noting that Waraka never accepted Islam.  more>>>

  1. How could this manuscript be that of Waraka, if in his time arabic did not have dots yet ? This is an established fact by specialists of manuscripts of that era. Or is the foto at the top of the article not of Waraka's manuscript ? Or a translation into a later version of Arabic ?
