The classical debate between Christian apologist Jay Smith and Muslim scholar Dr. Shabir Ally focuses on the question, “Which is the Word of God—the Bible or the Qur’an?” Jay Smith critiques the Qur’an’s claim to divine origin by challenging its eternality, early compilation, and textual preservation, while Shabir Ally defends the Qur’an using five biblical criteria for divine scripture—divine inspiration, beneficial teaching, truthfulness, monotheism, and internal consistency—arguing that according to Islam, the Qur’an meets these standards better than the Bible. The original recording of this event garnered over 950,000 views on YouTube and has now been re-released from the archives for public viewing.
