A NEW AI tool, Abraame, is being promoted as “the first AI-assisted platform for comparative study of the three Abrahamic traditions”.

The platform, published by Airking DWC-LLC, which is based in Dubai, can be used without charge until free daily credits run out.

It invites users to ask a question, to which it gives three simultaneous answers, based on the Bible, the Torah, and the Qur’an: “verifiable, never invented”. The answers are placed side by side, “without hierarchy”. It is intended, it says, not to replace “rabbi, priest, nor imam”, but to be “an entry point to multifaith discussion”.

The Church Times asked it: “Did Jesus rise from the dead?” The AI responded with a comparative analysis, using sources from respective scriptures.

While it acknowledged the differences between the religions, Abraame also referred to their shared eschatological nature, fostering a sense of unity, as “Like a single river that branches into three streams, each tradition flows from the same divine source yet reflects a unique light and understanding.”

In the biblical analysis, Abraame cites Matthew 28.6 and John 11.25 as evidence of the resurrection. It also quotes Christian philosophers such as St Thomas Aquinas, who said that “the resurrection was a divine act.”

Abraame says that “confessional nuances exist” between different denominations. It drew distinctions between the Roman Catholic “liturgical celebration” of the resurrection and the Protestant “faith in the risen Christ” as hope.

In a side-by-side comparison, Abraame presented the Qur’an’s perspective on the ascension rather than resurrection, of Christ, since both the Bible and the Qur’an “affirm, instead, that God raised him up”.

Abraame also explained the classical Jewish tradition, explaining its non-messianic perspective. It quoted from the Sanhedrin to read the resurrection as a “future hope”.

The AI tool said that it aimed to “foster mutual respect and understanding, emphasising common hopes rather than differences”, because all the Abrahamic traditions are “one family”. It encouraged the user to “explore further” and to engage in more interfaith dialogues, focusing on the common beliefs of each tradition.

“Each tradition reflects a different facet of the divine light”, it said. “They form a harmonious triad of faith.”

Since “this sacred question invites us to journey beyond division,” the AI is described as intended to act as a “foundation” to “interfaith dialogue” and to explore “perspectives with reverence and depth”.
