    The Quran argues that certain historical figures like Musa صلى الله عليه وسلم existed etc. And it uses these as arguments for evidence of divine punishments or reminders of the favours on bani Israel.

    The question is how do we know these people actually existed? You can’t just say the Quran mentioned them so they’re real because the Quran is using them for arguments so people must know form other sources that they existed.

    If you say for example the tawatur of Jews then the Jews don’t have tawatur according to Ghamidi sahab’s ideology or what if it j have been exposed to

    Through rigorous Modern Historical Methods and Criteria we can be “relative” sure that ancient figures like Muhammad, Jesus and Moses did “highly probably” existed in Antiquity. Historical Methods are not empirically verifiable through Lab testing like Physical methods.

    What the Modern historians doubt is the Story Mentioned in the Bible & the Quran about Moses parting the Sea to rescue Bani Israel & causing the Army of Pharaoh to drown. As that is a Miracle. And Miracles or Acts of God are least likely probable events. As they cannot be rationally proved historically.

    Historical Methods are based on Eye Witness Testimony and other secondary and Anonymous testimonies in ancient History.

      Then how can a valid theological argument be based upon that?
