Abstract

Dan Gibson has tried to prove that the Muslim Qibla was previously in Petra, somewhere in the northwest of the Arabian Peninsula. He has based his claim on archeological and historical issues as well as the results gained through the comparison of pre-and post-Islam literatures. According to him, the Qibla was set to be in Mecca only after the conflicts that Ibn-e Zubair had with the rulers in Damascus. He also believes that, due to those clashes and the destruction of the existing sources of information, Muslim scholars embarked upon writing the history of early Islam. So far, there has been no research to particularly examine Gibson’ s beliefs; there are just a number of critiques jointly written on the theories of Hagarism and the birthplace of Islam from the viewpoint of orientalists. These sources, however, only address the research methods employed not the evidence or veracity of the claims made. Therefore, it is of significance to examine the evidence that Gibson has provided for his claim. This research seeks to critically examine the major proofs that he has put forth in his book “ The Geography of the Quran” . The centrality of the ‘ Holy City’ , geography and commercial relations are among those proofs. The results of the study show that his claims do not conform to the geographical and historical data as well as the Quranic verses.
