Did the prophet Muhammad actually exist? How did the Qur’an come into existence? And did Islam really begin in Mecca? If you think you know a lot about the historic origins of Islam–think again! Frank welcomes Dr. Jay Smith to the program, a legendary defender of the faith and top Christian apologist to Muslims who spent over two decades at the legendary Speaker’s Corner in London. Dr. Smith shares personal experiences from his years evangelizing Muslims, challenging Islamic claims, and navigating the theological and historical issues at the core of Islam. During this eye-opening conversation, Frank and Dr. Smith tackle questions like:
— What was it like to evangelize at Speaker’s Corner in London for 25 years, and why is it a magnet for Muslims?
— How did the events of 9/11/2001 change the dynamic between the world’s two largest competing religious worldviews–Christianity and Islam?
— Why is using the Qur’an helpful when sharing the Gospel with Muslims? — What is the “three-legged stool” that supports Islam, and how does it compare to Christianity?
— If Mecca is so old, why is there no historical evidence?
— What are the four genres of S.I.N. (the Standard Islamic Narrative), and why are they being thrown under the bus by some Muslim scholars?
— Why are there currently 30 official versions of the Qur’an, even though it claims to be eternal and unchanged by human hands?
— Why are the Qur’an’s earliest manuscripts shockingly incomplete, and why was the biography of Muhammad compiled by a German scholar?
This is just part one of a riveting two-part discussion, so be sure to tune in next week as Frank and Dr. Smith continue unpacking the historical and theological cracks in the foundation of Islam. And don’t miss the helpful resources in the list below, including the slides from Dr. Smith’s recent presentation at Calvary Chapel Chino Hills!

Is Mecca really the ancient spiritual hub Islam claims it to be? In this compelling deep dive, Christian apologist Dr. Jay Smith challenges one of the most sacred pillars of Islam: the historical authenticity of Mecca. Using maps, archaeological records, and early manuscript data, he lays out shocking inconsistencies most Muslims—and even scholars—don’t talk about.
Why is Mecca absent from centuries of ancient records? Why did early mosques point in a different direction? What happens to Islam’s foundations if Mecca’s timeline falls apart?
Watch now and uncover the argument that could reshape how we understand Islamic history. This might be the most important video you’ll watch on the origins of Islam.
