Color me impressed. Also, why isn't this revelation from a "prophet?" Are people just supposed to know this stuff as believers?
I like the idea that the Mormon god isn't "worship-worthy" because of The Great Apostacy.
"All of this is to reconcile the reality of the Apostasy with the Islamic idea that for God, or Allah, to be “worship-worthy,” he cannot have neglected humanity as seems to have been the case during the Apostasy. With the Three Nephites present and doing hidden but real work, the Mormon belief in the Apostasy and the Islamic belief in what constitutes the divine can be reconciled. Hatem’s inclination to resolve such disparate traditions in the first place is what makes this book so engaging and valuable."

But I guess in flies the superhero Three Nephites to save those dark days!
