Abu Isa al-Warraq, full name Abū ʿĪsā Muḥammad ibn Hārūn al-Warrāq (Arabic: أبو عيسى محمد بن هارون الوراق, died 861-2 AD/247 AH), was a 9th-century Arab skeptic scholar and critic of Islam and religion in general.[1] He was a mentor and friend of scholar Ibn al-Rawandi in whose work The Book of the Emerald he appears.[2] A modern critic of Islam, Ibn Warraq, derives his pseudonym from al-Warraq.[3]
