	Response to Misha'al Al-Kadhi: Yaqut's entry on "Faran"
		Yaqut was an Arab geographer who died in A.D. 1229 and wrote a geographical dictionary that is still well regarded in the Arab world today and to which historians often resort as a source with a wealth of information.
		Even though Yaqut's quote from Deuteronomy 33:2 is close to the original, notice his interpretive rendering of "shone forth" by "revealed" to suit his purpose, as well as the interpretation that "God came" means to him the same as "a revelation was given".
		Yaqut builds his claim on this polemic recounting it with "it has been said" but he does not present any evidence for his assertion that Faran is a name for Mecca that is independent from the reference to the Torah verse.

		Yaqut al-Musta'simi's achievements have been described succinctly by the 16th-century Iranian chronicler Qadi Ahmad: "In the art of writing he followed the tradition of Ibn Bawwab, but in the trimming of the qalam and in the clipping of its nib he altered the manner of the earlier masters...".
		Yaqut's innovation was to cut the qalam's nib at an angle, thus enabling him to achieve greater fineness, thinness and linear variability.
		Yaqut is reputed to have been a very strict tutor, requiring his students to practice long hours.

	Yaqut al-Hamawi Summary
		His full name was Yaqut ibn 'Abdallah, but because his parents were Greek he was often known as al-Rumi, "the Roman" or "the Byzantine." He was also called al-Hamawi, a reference to the fact that he came from the town of Hama in Syria.
		In addition, Yaqut was one of the last scholars to gain access to the libraries east of the Caspian Sea, in what are today the former Soviet republics of Central Asia—libraries that would be, along with the lands and cities around them, devastated in the Mongol onslaught.
		Yaqut (Yaqut ibn-'Abdullah al-Rumi al-Hamawi) (1179 - 1229) was a Syrian biographer and geographer.

	The Islamic View of Late Byzantium
		Yaqut gives its frontiers: They have the Turks, Khazars, and Rus on the north and east, in the south their limits are al-Sham and Alexandria, and in the west they border the sea of al-Andalus.
		Yaqut, for instance, states that Constantine the Great moved to Byzantium and built a wall around it and called it Qustantiniyya, and it is their dar al-mulk (ruling capital) until today.
		Yaqut likewise states that “today, [Constantinople] is in the hands of the Franks.“ Ibn Wasil also mentions the conquest of Constantinople by the Latins: In this year (600) the al-Ifranj left their lands in great crowds and conquered it.

		Yaqut could not settle in one place though and travelled much, first as a merchant, then as a geographer fascinated by places and their diverse populations, dress and ways.
		Yaqut's dictionary of countries is not just a collection of facts from other historians, geographers and travellers, but also facts gleaned from his many long travel experiences and from people he met during such travels.
		That Yaqut was fully conversant with the various concepts of Muslim geographers relating to mathematics and physical and regional geography is well documented in his introduction, which also includes discussions of the geographical and legal terms in the work.

	Is Mohammed Really Predicted in Deuteronomy 33:2?
		Yaqut himself identifies Paran as a group of mountains, which does not correlate with the Paran mentioned in the Bible.
		Further, Yaqut’s exposition is self-contradictory in that he identifies all three of these mountains (Sinai, Seir, and Paran) as “mountains of Filastiin” (Palestine), which again, seems to cast doubt upon his concurrent claim that Paran is Mecca.
		Yaqut’s testimony is further weakened in that either he or his source seem to be the originators of the “Mecca=Paran” equation.
