This final appendix introduces the course author’s questions about divine first-person plural language in the Quran and the comparison with biblical usage.

138 of 145 • Lesson 14.9 • Appendix A: Witnesses Called in the Quran Understanding and Refuting Islam — Truth Booster This lesson examines the supplied Pickthall rendering of Quran 70:40–43 and asks how an oath differs from witness testimony. Textual clarification: The presentation’s original heading is “Allah Swears by Another.” The quoted phrase “the Lord of the rising-places and the setting-places” does not by itself establish that a different deity is intended. The description preserves the subject for examination without treating that inference as established fact. Presentation reference: 1.
