Daniel Gibson is a Canadian author studying the early history of Arabia and Islam. He is the author of Early Islamic Qiblas: A survey of mosques built between 1AH/622 C.E. and 263 AH/876 C.E, which advances the claim that early mosques were oriented towards Petra, rather than towards Mecca or Jerusalem as traditionally accepted by archaeologists and historians of Islam.
Quotes
It is my belief that the early descriptions of Mecca and its mountains do not fit the Mecca of today.
quoted from Robert Spencer, Did Muhammad Exist? (2021)
