Many modern Muslim apologists mud-sling the saint for inventing Christianity. Some have also accused St Paul of acting out alone and had no interaction with the other disciples of Jesus. However, Muslim sources of antiquity states otherwise:
From al-Tabari:“Among the apostles and those disciples around them, whom Jesus sent out, there were Peter and his companion Paul.” (Thalabii, Qisas al-Anbiyaa, pp. 389-390)
"Abu Ja’far says: They assert that after Tiberius, Palestine and other parts of Syria were ruled by Gaius, son of Tiberius, for four years. He was succeeded by another son, Claudius, for fourteen years, following which Nero ruled for fourteen years. He slew Peter and crucified Paul head down. For four months Botlaius [Vittelius] ruled thereafter. Then Vespasian, father of Titus whom he sent to Jerusalem, ruled for ten years. Three years after his rise to power, forty years after the ascension of Jesus, Vespasian sent Titus to Jerusalem. Titus destroyed it and slew numerous Israelites in his wrath over the fate of Christ…” (Ibid., p. 126)
For a man to say something like the above with such conviction means he was serious about his honesty. In Judaism, lying was not permitted, nor is lying a practice in Christianity. There is no Taqiyya or Qitman in Christianity.“For I give you to understand, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man. For neither did I receive it of man, nor did I learn it; but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.” - Galatians 1:11-12
