Muhammad, The Dark Prophet in this article I am going to
mention, is a guy who many people emulate and adhere to. These people are called
Muslims, who follow a religion called Islam, the faith Muhammad founded. Islam
is the second largest religion in the world and the first largest religion in
the Middle East. Islam is also predominantly followed in other places besides
the Middle East like: Pakistan, Bangladesh, Malaysia and Indonesia (The largest
Muslim country in the word). Islam has pillars, which Muslims follow 1) Shahadah
(Arabic for “Declaration of faith” where a Muslim should believe and declare
that There is no god, but Allah.) 2) Salah (Arabic for “Prayer” where a Muslim
should prays five times a day) 3) Siyam (Arabic for “Fasting” where a Muslim
should fast for the entire month of Ramadan, if he/she is sick or is travelling
then they shouldn’t fast, according to Islam) 4) Zakat (Arabic for “Giving Alms”
where a Muslim should gives to other poor Muslims) and 5) Hajj (Arabic for
“Pilgrimage” where a Muslim should do pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia and then
from there go to Medina, Saudi Arabia, if he/she can afford to do so). Mecca,
Saudi Arabia was the city Muhammad was born in and Medina (which use to be know
as Yathrib, but was changed to Medina during Muhammad’s time) was the city
Muhammad fled to and permanently established himself there. He even died in
Medina, Saudi Arabia.
His journey to seek refuge, is called Hijrah. Muslims
believe in the Quran, the book Muslims believe is the word of Allah, which is
the compilation of words, which Muhammad claimed were revealed to him by
Gabriel. The Quran like the Holy Bible tells the stories of the Prophets of God,
but gives different information in a lot of ways, which are contrary to the
stories of the Prophets mentioned in the Holy Bible. The religion Muhammad found
(Islam) has been the fastest moving religion in the world and probably still is.
The main reason, why people are probably converting to Islam, is because they
don’t know the negative side of the founder of Islam, Muhammad. It is because of
the ignorance of Muhammad’s negative side why Muslims are still Muslims and are
also able to convert so many ignorant non-Muslims to their faith. In this
article, my objective is to expose the truth of Muhammad’s Dark Side for
non-Muslims and Muslims especially to see and find out. I am going to quote the
ahadeeths (words and deeds of Muhammad, narrated by his companions, wives and
other people), the verses of the Quran, the verses of the Holy Bible
the words of Christian Missionary Apologetics, who have exposed the negative
sides of Islam, Ar-Raheeq Al-Makhtum (The Sealed
Nectar) by Safi-ur-Rahman al-Mubarakpuri (a biography of Muhammad) and Stories
of the Sirah by Abidullah Ghazi and his
wife Tasneema K. Ghazi and a quote of Ibn Khatir. One more
thing about the ahadeeths I want to say is that they were compiled by the
earliest scholars of Islam, among them are Bukhari, Muslim and Abu Dawood. The
collection of Bukhari’s ahadeeths is called Sahih Bukhari, which is divided into
Volumes, Book Numbers and Ahadeeth Numbers. An example can be seen below:
Book 11,
Number 662:
Narrated Anas:
The Prophet
said, "Listen and obey (your chief) even if an Ethiopian whose head is like a
raisin were made your chief."
Ahadeeths like this one can also be written in other formats,
for example, let’s see this same ahadeeth above, but in a slightly different
way:
Narrated Anas:
The Prophet said,
"Listen and obey (your chief) even if an Ethiopian whose head is like a raisin
were made your chief."
(Vol. 1,
Book 11,
No. 662)
The collection Muslim’s ahadeeths are dived into Book Numbers
and Ahadeeth Numbers, only. See example below
Book 028,
Number 5612:
Buraida
reported on the authority of his father that Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon
him) said: He who played chess is like one who dyed his hand with the flesh and
blood of swine.
The same ahadeeth, but in a different format:
Buraida reported on
the authority of his father that Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) said:
He who played chess is like one who dyed his hand with the flesh and blood of
swine.
(Book 28,
No. 5612)
The collection of Abu Dawood’s
ahadeeths also are divided into Book Numbers and Ahadeeth Numbers, only. See
example below:
Book 14,
Number 2498:
Narrated Anas ibn Malik:
The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him)
said: Use your property, your persons any your tongues in striving against the
polytheists.
The same ahadeeth but in a different format:
Narrated Anas ibn Malik:
The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him)
said: Use your property, your persons any your tongues in striving against the
polytheists.
(Book
14,
Number 2498)
Now I would like to begin this article by quoting the Words
of the Lord Jesus Christ and what he said about False Prophets:
"Watch out for false
prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they
are ferocious wolves.
(Matthew 7:15) [emphasis are mine]
and many false prophets will appear and DECIEVE MANY PEOPLE.
(Matthew 24:11) [emphasis are mine]
For false Christs and
false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to DECIEVE EVEN
THE ELECT–if
that were possible.
(Matthew 24:24) [emphasis are mine]
For false
Christs and false prophets will appear and PERFORM SIGNS and MIRACLES to DECIEVE
EVEN THE ELECT–if that were possible.
(Mark 13:22) [emphasis are mine]
Let’s begin with
examining how Muhammad passed the test of Prophethood that was given to him by
Abdullah bin Salam:
Sahih Bukhari-Volume
4, Book 55, Number 546:
Narrated Anas:
When 'Abdullah bin Salam heard the
arrival of the Prophet at Medina, he came to him and said, "I am going to ask
you about three things which nobody knows except a prophet: What is the first
portent of the Hour? What will be the first meal taken by the people of
Paradise? Why does a child resemble its father, and why does it resemble its
maternal uncle" Allah's Apostle said, "Gabriel has just now told me of their
answers." 'Abdullah said, "He (i.e. Gabriel), from amongst all the angels,
is the ENEMY OF THE JEWS." Allah's Apostle said, "The first portent of
the Hour will be a fire that will bring together the people from the east to the
west; the first meal of the people of Paradise will be Extra-lobe (caudate lobe)
of fish-liver. As for the resemblance of the child to its parents: If a
man has sexual intercourse with his wife and gets discharge first, the child
will resemble the father, and if the woman gets discharge first, the child will
resemble her." On that 'Abdullah bin Salam said, "I testify that you are
the Apostle of Allah." 'Abdullah bin Salam further said, "O Allah's Apostle! The
Jews are liars, and if they should come to know about my conversion to Islam
before you ask them (about me), they would tell a lie about me." The Jews came
to Allah's Apostle and 'Abdullah went inside the house. Allah's Apostle asked
(the Jews), "What kind of man is 'Abdullah bin Salam amongst you?" They replied,
"He is the most learned person amongst us, and the best amongst us, and the son
of the best amongst us." Allah's Apostle said, "What do you think if he embraces
Islam (will you do as he does)?" The Jews said, "May Allah save him from it."
Then 'Abdullah bin Salam came out in front of them saying, "I testify that None
has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is the Apostle of
Allah." Thereupon they said, "He is the evilest among us, and the son of the
evilest amongst us," and continued talking badly of him. [emphasis are mine]
Dear readers, as you can all see Abdullah bin Salam asks
Muhammad THREE QUESTIONS which only a prophet (A True Prophet of God that is)
can answer CORRECTLY, but unfortunately Muhammad gets the answer to the third
question wrong, which is: If a man has sexual intercourse with his wife and
gets discharge first, the child will resemble the father, and if the
woman gets discharge first, the child will resemble her. Any
knowledgeable scientist would really disagree with this! Mr. Reader you live in
the 21st. Century where science is so advance is there any support
Muhammad’s concept of why a child rsembles his or his mother. Absolutely not, so
we can even conclude that the other two questions that were asked to him are
also wrong and therefore he failed the acid test of Abdullah bin Salam. However,
I do wish that Abdullah bin Salam did realize this himself. Not to mention the
above incident even states that Abdallah described this spirit who claimed to be
Gabriel and appeared to Muhammad among all the angels is the enemy of the Jews!
That’s not true at all. SATAN is the one who is actually THE ENEMY of the Jews.
Could it be that this creature was actually Satan who impersonated himself as
the Angel Gabriel? Let’s see what St. Paul stated,
“And no wonder, for
Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.”
(2 Corinthians 11:14) [emphasis are mine]
”But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel
other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned!”
(Galatians 1:8) [emphasis are mine]
Now let me move on to Muhammad’s
so-called divine experience. I will begin by quoting Chapter 10 Verse 94 of the
Quran, “If thou wert in doubt as to what We have revealed unto thee,
then ask those who have been reading the Book from before thee:
the Truth hath indeed come to thee from thy Lord: so be in no wise of those in
doubt.” [emphasis are mine] Over here, Muhammad is commanded that if he has
doubt about the revealation of the Quran, then he should ask those (The
People of the Book) who were reading The Book before him and that book is
no other than the Holy Bible (or at least the Jewish Torah)! So let’s look at
the first verse that was revealed to Muhammad (which are in italic) and use the
Holy Scriptures of God as the criteria to see whether this was a divine
revelation or not:
Narrated 'Aisha:
The commencement of
the Divine Inspiration to Allah's Apostle was in the form of good righteous
(true) dreams in his sleep. He never had a dream but that it came true like
bright day light. He used to go in seclusion (the cave of) Hira where he used to
worship (Allah Alone) continuously for many (days) nights. He used to take with
him the journey food for that (stay) and then come back to (his wife) Khadija to
take his food like-wise again for another period to stay, till suddenly the
Truth descended upon him while he was in the cave of Hira. The angel came to him
in it and asked him to read. The Prophet replied, "I do not know how to read."
(The Prophet added), "The angel caught me (forcefully) and pressed me so hard
that I could not bear it anymore. He then released me and again asked me to
read, and I replied, "I do not know how to read," whereupon he caught me again
and pressed me a second time till I could not bear it anymore. He then released
me and asked me again to read, but again I replied, "I do not know how to read
(or, what shall I read?)." Thereupon he caught me for the third time and pressed
me and then released me and said,
"Read:
In the Name of your Lord, Who has created (all that exists). Has created man
from a clot. Read and Your Lord is Most Generous...up to..... ..that which he
knew not."
(96.15)
Then Allah's Apostle returned with
the Inspiration, his neck muscles twitching with terror till he entered upon
Khadija and said, "Cover me! Cover me!" They covered him till his fear was over
and then he said, "O Khadija, what is wrong with me?" Then he told her
everything that had happened and said, 'I fear that something may happen to me."
Khadija said, 'Never! But have the glad tidings, for by Allah, Allah will never
disgrace you as you keep good relations with your Kith and kin, speak the truth,
help the poor and the destitute, serve your guest generously and assist the
deserving, calamity-afflicted ones." Khadija then accompanied him to (her
cousin) Waraqa bin Naufal bin Asad bin 'Abdul 'Uzza bin Qusai. Waraqa was the
son of her paternal uncle, i.e., her father's brother, who during the
Pre-Islamic Period became a Christian and used to write the Arabic writing and
used to write of the Gospels in Arabic as much as Allah wished him to write. He
was an old man and had lost his eyesight. Khadija said to him, "O my cousin!
Listen to the story of your nephew." Waraqa asked, "O my nephew! What have you
seen?" The Prophet described whatever he had seen.
Waraqa said, "This
is the same Namus (i.e., Gabriel, the Angel who keeps the secrets) whom Allah
had sent to Moses. I wish I were young and could live up to the time when your
people would turn you out." Allah's Apostle asked, "Will they turn me out?"
Waraqa replied in the affirmative and said: "Never did a man come with something
similar to what you have brought but was treated with hostility. If I should
remain alive till the day when you will be turned out then I would support you
strongly." But after a few days Waraqa died and the Divine Inspiration was also
paused for a while and the Prophet became so sad as we have heard that he
intended several times to throw himself from the tops of high mountains and
every time he went up the top of a mountain IN ORDER TO THROW HIMSELF DOWN,
Gabriel would appear before him and say, "O Muhammad! You are indeed
Allah's Apostle in truth" whereupon his heart would become quiet and he would
calm down and would return home. And whenever the period of the coming
of the inspiration used to become long, he would do as before, but when he used
to reach the top of a mountain, Gabriel would appear before him and say to him
what he had said before. (Ibn 'Abbas said regarding the meaning of: 'He it is
that Cleaves the daybreak (from the darkness)' (6.96) that Al-Asbah. means the
light of the sun during the day and the light of the moon at night).
(Sahih Bukhari, Vol. 9 No. 111) [emphasis are mine]
The same spirit
tells Muhammad to enter terror in the hearts of the Jews of Banu Qurayza, which
leads into the Massacre of Banu Qurayza, words in () are mines:
"……..after the
previous battle, and while he (Muhammad) was washing in Umm Salama’s house
visited him asking that he should UNSHEATHE his sword and head for
the habitation of the seditious Banu Quraiza (A Jewish tribe) and fight them.
Gabriel noted that he with a procession of angels would go ahead to shake their
forts AND CAST FEAR IN THEIR (The Jews of Banu Quraiza) HEARTS."
(Ar-Raheeq Al-Makhtum (The Sealed Nectar) by Safi-ur-Rahman al-Mubarakpuri pg.
321) [emphasis are mine]
A Jewish man is
killed for having enmity to Muhammad:
"Huyai,
a chief criminal of war, a devil of Bani Nadir and Safiyah’s father, had joined
the ranks of Banu Quraiza wgeb Quraish and Ghatfan defected, was admitted into
the audience of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم
with his his hands tied to his neck with a rope, In audacious defiance, he
DECLARED OBSTINATE ENMITY to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم but
admitted that Allah’s Will was to be fulfilled and added that he was resigned to
his fate. He was ordered to sit down, and WAS BEHEADED ON THE SPOT."
(Ar-Raheeq Al-Makhtum (The Sealed Nectar) by Safi-ur-Rahman al-Mubarakpuri pg.
323) [emphasis are mine]
More than a hundred
Jews are killed in the massacre, words in
()
are mines:
“Trenches were dug
in the bazaar of Madinah and a number of Jews between six and seven
hundred were BEHEADED THEREIN
(Now you know why
Muslim terrorists behead innocent people).”
(Ar-Raheeq
Al-Makhtum (The Sealed Nectar) by Safi-ur-Rahman al-Mubarakpuri pg. 323)
[emphasis are mines]
This act breaks one
of Ten Commandments of God!
“You shall NOT MURDER.”
(Exodus 20:13) [emphasis are mine]
Muhammad even speaks the words of
Satan! Ibn Kahtir states,
“Shaytan
threw (some falsehood) in it) "When he spoke, the Shaytan THREW (SOME FALSEHOOD)
INTO HIS SPEECH.'' (Ibn Khatir’s commentary of Chapter 22 Verse 52 of the Quran,
online source:
http://www.tafsir.com/default.asp?sid=22&tid=34398)
It is not okay for a person who
claims to be a Prophet of God to speak the FALSE WORDS of the devil. The Holy
Bible clearly states the punishment for a prophet who speaks in the name of a
false god even, words in [ ] are mines:
“But a prophet who
presumes to speak in my name anything I HAVE NOT COMMANDED HIM TO
SAY, [Muhammad not only says what God didn’t command him to but speaks
the words of Lucifer!] or a prophet WHO SPEAKS IN THE NAMES OF OTHER GODS,
MUST BE PUT TO DEATH [Speaking in the name of a false god is wrong but
in the name of the devil is worse!]."
(Deuteronomy
18:20-NIV)
As for Muslim
readers, who are thinking why should they rely on the Holy Bible for knowing
whether Muhammad is a Prophet or not. Here’s why, Islam never claimed and never
claims that the Holy Bible is corrupted, this was an innovated concept brought
by one of the earliest scholars of Islam, by the name of Ibn Khazeem. Muhammad,
his companions and other early Muslims believed that the Holy Bible was actually
an error-free book. Ibn Khatir one of the earliest scholars of Islam and
commentator of the Quran himself says while interpretating the true meaning of
Chapter 3 and Verse 78 of the Quran,
“Ibn Kathir’s comments on S. 3:78
are also pertinent to this very issue:
“Mujahid. Ash-Sha'bi,
Al-Hassan, Qatadah and Ar-Rabi' bin Anas said that,
<who distort the
Book with their tongues.>
means, "They alter
(Allah's Words)."
Al-Bukhari reported
that Ibn 'Abbas said that the Ayah means they alter and add although
none among Allah's creation CAN REMOVE THE WORDS OF ALLAH FROM HIS BOOKS, THEY
ALTER AND DISTORT THEIR APPARENT MEANINGS. Wahb bin Munabbih said, "The
Tawrah and Injil REMAIN AS ALLAH REVEALED THEM, AND NO LETTER IN THEM WAS
REMOVED. However, the people misguide others by addition and false
interpretation, relying on books that they wrote themselves." Then,
<they say: "This
is from Allah," but it is not from Allah;>
As for Allah's
books, THEY ARE STILL PRESERVED AND CANNOT BE CHANGED."
Ibn Abi Hatim recorded this statement ... (Tafsir Ibn Kathir – Abridged,
Volume 2, Parts 3, 4 & 5, Surat Al-Baqarah, Verse 253, to Surat An-Nisa, verse
147, abridged by a group of scholars under the supervision of Shaykh
Safiur-Rahman Al-Mubarakpuri [Darussalam Publishers & Distributors, Riyadh,
Houston, New York, Lahore; First Edition: March 2000], p. 196; bold and capital
emphasis ours).” (Answering Islam-Sam Shamoun’s
http://www.answering-islam.org/Shamoun/bible_authentic1.htm) [emphases are
Sam’s own]
1)
Muhammad doesn’t see God
at all but sees a spirit by the name of Gabriel, whereas in the Bible God
doesn’t send anyone, but himself gives revelation directly.
2)
Muhammad’s so-called
spiritual incident makes him suicidal, whereas the Prophets of the Bible never
became suicidal, especially the prophet Moses never becomes suicidal despite the
fact he actually knows God and talks to God Face-to-Face!!!!
3)
Taking the Holy Bible as
the criteria, one finds Judas as very similar to Muhammad’s suicidal experience,
the ONLY thing is that Muhammad doesn’t commit it, but Judas does. The reason,
why Judas feels suicidal is because of the demonic influences of Satan.
“As soon as Judas took the bread, Satan ENTERED
IN HIM.” (John 13:27) [emphasis are mine]. That same man, after
coming in his senses becomes suicidal, and eventually kills himself.
4)
Satan makes Judas
suicidal, which causes him to later on murder himself.
5)
The spirit that claims to
be the Angel Gabriel makes Muhammad suicidal, but prevents from committing it.
6)
Satan, in the Holy Bible,
tells Lord Jesus Christ to jump over a cliff, but Jesus refuses. Unlike with
Muhammad where this spirit who causes him to be suicidal and prevents him from
committing suicide. This spirit probably had some objectives he wanted to
fulfill through Muhammad.
7)
Satan can take the form
the form of an angel as mentioned by St. Paul in 2
Corinthians 11:14.
8)
Satan hates Jews (Jesus
Christ himself was Jewish) and that same spirit who is claimed to be the Angel
Gabriel is the enemy of the Jews.
9)
Some references in the
Holy Bible’s NT that described that the reason why the pigs committed suicide
were because of demons possess them. These references are: Luke 8:31-33, Mark
5:12-13 and Matthew 8:30-32. Could it be that Satan was making Muhammad suicidal
in a similar manner?
10)
Christian
Missionary Apologist Silas states, in his response (http://www.answering-islam.org/Silas/fatrah.htm)
to Muslim Apologist MENJ’s rebuttal (http://www.bismikaallahuma.org/Muhammad/fatrah.htm
) to Christian Missionary Apologist Silas’s article regarding
Muhammad’s suicidal attempts,
http://answering-islam.org/Silas/suicide.htm
: “I believe that this was a time in which Satan continued to strive for
domination over Muhammad’s mind and soul. This was a Satanic jihad. Muhammad
struggled with what he knew was happening, was confused, and could not cope. His
conscience told him something terrible had happened and he tried to address the
pain through suicide. But Satan deceived him into thinking that perhaps he truly
was a prophet. Slowly Satan took control. I am not saying that Muhammad was
demon possessed; I am saying he was influenced strongly by Satan. Satan put
his bridle on Muhammad’s soul and placed his bit in Muhammad’s mind. Muhammad
struggled but was eventually tamed. All the while Satan played against
Muhammad’s sanity, fear, and self-doubt. When Muhammad began his public
ministry, Satan’s deep work was done.” [emphasis are his own]
11)
We can
conclude the spirit that was claimed to be Gabriel could have been Satan who
took the shape of an angel (2 Corinthians 11:14) or was an angel from heaven
that preached a gospel other than the one St. Paul preached (Galatians 1:8),
which the Quran the book Muhammad preached and that spirit that came to him
preached is. Muhammad also never saw GOD AT ALL IN HIS LIFE:
Narrated Masruq:
'Aisha said, "If anyone tells you that Muhammad has seen his lord,
HE IS A LIAR, for Allah says: ‘NO VISION CAN GRASP HIM.' (6.103) And if
anyone tells you that Muhammad has seen the Unseen, he is a liar, for Allah
says: "None has the knowledge of the Unseen but Allah." (Sahih Al-Bukhari,
Volume 9, Book 93, Number 477)
[emphasis are mine]
Muhammad goes to a
guy, who gives false information of how Moses himself got revelation from God,
as a criteria to judge whether what he got was divine experience or not:
“He apprised
Khadijah of the incident of the cave and added that he was horrified. His wife
tried to soothe him and reassured him saying, ‘Allah will never disgrace you.
You unite uterine relations; you bear the burden of the weak; you help the poor
and the needy, you entertain the guests and endure hardships in the path of
truthfulness.’
“She set out with the Prophet صلى
الله عليه وسلم to her cousin Waraqa bin Nawfal bin Asad bin ‘Abd Al’Uzza, who
had embraced Christianity in the pre-Islamic period, and used to write the Bible
in Hebrew. He was a blind old man. Khadijah said; ‘My cousin! Listen to your
nephew!’ Waraqa said: ‘O my nephew! What did you see?’ The Messenger of Allah
صلى الله عليه وسلم told him what had happened to him. Waraqa replied: ‘This
is ‘Namus i.e (the angel who is entrusted with Divine Secrets) that ALLAH SENT
TO MOSES. I wish I were younger. I wish I could live up to the time when
your people would turn you out.’ Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم asked: ‘Will they
drive me out?’ Waraqa answered in the affirmative and said: ‘Anyone who came
with something similar to what you have brought was treated with hostility; and
if I should be alive till that day, then I would support you strongly.’ A few
days later Waraqa died and the revelation also subsided.”
(Ar-Raheeq Al-Makhtum (The Sealed Nectar) by Safi-ur-Rahman al-Mubarakpuri pg.
69) [emphasis are mine]
This information is
false both in the Holy Bible and in the Quran, Moses never met an angel of God,
but God directly appeared to him:
"Now Moses was tending
the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian, and he led the
flock to the far side of the desert and came to Horeb, the mountain of God.
There the angel of the LORD appeared to him in flames of fire from within a
bush. Moses saw that though the bush was on fire it did not burn up. So Moses
thought, 'I will go over and see this strange sight-why the bush does not burn
up.'
When THE LORD SAW that he had gone over to look, GOD CALLED
TO HIM from within the bush, 'Moses! Moses!'
And Moses said, 'Here I am.'
'Do not come any closer,' God said. 'Take off your sandals, for the place
where you are standing is holy ground.' Then he said, 'I am the God of your
father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.' At this,
Moses hid his face, because he was afraid TO LOOK AT GOD.
The LORD said, 'I have indeed seen the misery of my people in Egypt. I have
heard them crying out because of their slave drivers, and I am concerned about
their suffering. So I have come down to rescue them from the hand of the
Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land into a good and spacious land, a
land flowing with milk and honey-the home of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites,
Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites. And now the cry of the Israelites has reached
me, and I have seen the way the Egyptians are oppressing them. So now, go. I am
sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt.'
But MOSES SAID TO GOD, 'Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh and bring
the Israelites out of Egypt?'
And God said, 'I will be with you. And this will be the sign to you that it is I
who have sent you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you will
worship God on this mountain.'
MOSES SAID TO GOD, 'Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them,
The God of your fathers has sent me to you, and they ask me, What is
his name? Then what shall I tell them?"
GOD SAID TO MOSES, 'I am who I am . This is what you are to say to the
Israelites: I AM has sent me to you.'
GOD ALSO SAID TO MOSES, 'Say to the Israelites, The LORD, the God of your
fathers-the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob-has sent me to
you. This is my name forever, the name by which I am to be remembered from
generation to generation.
'Go, assemble the elders of Israel and say to them, 'The LORD , the God of your
fathers-the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob-appeared to me and said: I have
watched over you and have seen what has been done to you in Egypt. And I
have promised to bring you up out of your misery in Egypt into the land of the
Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites-a land flowing
with milk and honey.'
'The elders of Israel will listen to you. Then you and the elders are to go to
the king of Egypt and say to him, The LORD , the God of the Hebrews, has met
with us. Let us take a three-day journey into the desert to offer sacrifices to
the LORD our God. But I know that the king of Egypt will not let you go
unless a mighty hand compels him. So I will stretch out my hand and strike the
Egyptians with all the wonders that I will perform among them. After that, he
will let you go.'
'And I will make the Egyptians favorably disposed toward this people, so that
when you leave you will not go empty-handed. Every woman is to ask her neighbor
and any woman living in her house for articles of silver and gold and for
clothing, which you will put on your sons and daughters. And so you will plunder
the Egyptians.'"
(Exodus 3:1-22) [emphasis are mine]
Even according to the
Quran, Allah talks to Moses, and no angel was sent to him. Even though in the
Quran, unlike in the Holy Bible, Moses doesn’t ACTUALLY see God.
"Lo! I, even I, AM THY LORD,
So take off thy shoes, for lo! thou art in the holy valley of Tuwa. And I have
chosen thee, so hearken unto that which is inspired. Lo! I, even I, am
Allah, There is no God save Me. So serve Me and establish worship for My
remembrance."
(Quran 20:12-14) [emphasis are mine]
Another thing can be
said is that by using Moses as a criteria Muhammad can’t be a true prophet at
all because Moses unlike Muhammad didn’t become suicidal at all when he had his
first spiritual encounter in his life.
A prophet who
denies the deity of Christ and His Sonship to God is a FALSE PROPHET:
”Dear
friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they
are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. This is
how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges
that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God,” (1 John 4:1-2)
[emphasis are mine]
The Quran’s denial of Lord Jesus
Christ’s Ultimate Sacrifice on the Cross (Crucifixion)!
“That they said (in boast), "We killed Christ
Jesus the son of Mary, the Apostle of God";-
but they killed him not, NOR CRUCIFIED HIM, but so it was made to appear to them,
and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge,
but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not:-”
(Quran 4:157) [emphasis are mine]
“I do not write to you
because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it and because no lie
comes from the truth. Who is the liar? It is the man who denies that Jesus
is the Christ. Such a man is THE ANTICHRIST--he denies the Father and the Son.”
(1 John 2:21-22) [emphasis are mine]
The Quran’s denial of the deity of
Christ & His Sonship to God!

Sam Shamoun, a Christian Missionary
Apologist, stated in his rebuttal to Muslim Apologist, Nisar:
“Correction. Contemporary Muslims like Nisar may deny the
apostleship of Paul, but the first Muslims did not as the following citations
conclusively prove:
<so We reinforced them with a
third> means, ‘We
supported and strengthened them with a third Messenger.’ Ibn Jurayj narrated
from Wahb bin Sulayman, from Shu’ayb Al-Jaba’i, “The names of the first two
Messengers were Sham’un and Yuhanna, and the name of the third was BULUS,
and the city was Antioch…
<Verily, we have been sent to you
as Messengers.>
meaning, ‘from your Lord Who
created you and Who commands you to worship Him Alone with no partners or
associates.’ This was the view of Abu Al-‘Aliyah. Qatadah bin Di‘amah claimed
that they were MESSENGERS of the Messiah, peace be upon him, sent to the people
of Antioch. (Tafsir Ibn Kathir (Abridged), Volume 8, Surat Al-Ahzab,
Verse 51 to the end of Surat Ad-Dukhan, abridged under a group of scholars
under the supervision of Shaykh Safiur Rahman Al-Mubarakpuri [Darussalam
Publishers & Distributors Riyadh, Houston, New York, London, Lahore; First
Edition, September 2000], p. 179; bold and capital emphasis ours)
Sham’un refers to Simon Peter, Yuhanna to the apostle John,
and Bulus is Arabic for Paul.” [emphases are Sam’s own]
Dear readers, we
see that brother Sam Shamoun from Islamic sources proved that St. Paul, was
revered by the early Muslim themselves! Not to mention by Ibn Khathir himself!
Lets look at some of St. Paul’s own words:
You see, at just the right time, when we
were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.
(Romans 5:6) [emphasis are mine]
But God demonstrates
his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for
us.
(Romans 5:8) [emphasis
are mine]
1)
St. Paul is
a reliable person and a true disciple of Lord Jesus Christ, according to Islam.
2)
St. Paul
taught Jesus Christ died for our sins-a demonstration of God’s Love for us
(mankind).
3)
Muhammad,
the founder of Islam, despite the fact of giving St. Paul a status of a
true disciple of Lord Jesus Christ, through his own religion Islam
denies the CRUCIFIXION, in other words his religion denies St. Paul’s own words,
“…..Christ died for the ungodly”-Romans 5:6! It is like saying Mr. Brown is a
reliable person and then saying going left on El Camino will kill you, even
though Mr. Brown has assured everyone, “Don’t worry people you ain’t gonna die
going left on El Camino”, you falsify YOURSELF!
Muhammad expects others to sacrifice their lives for him,
like his Companions:
“Rasulullah
(S)
was injured but he was not concerned with his injuries. His primary concern was
still with his mission to carry on a fight agaisnt the
Kuffar.
Rasulullah (S) called the people who were running away to return. “Who IS
WILLING to sacrifice HIS LIFE FOR ME?” he asked. The Sahabah
®
who heard his voice, responded to his call. They RISKED THEIR LIVES and
now knew that Rasulullah (S) was alive. They were delighted to respond
to his call. Ziyad ibn as-Sakn
® came back. He was delighted to see Rasulullah (S) alive. He stood up firmly
agaisnt the Kuffar and with five other companions defended Rasulullah (S)
bravely. Ziyad ® fell in in the war. His bleeding body was brought to Rasulullah
(S). Ziyad ® looked at Rasulullah (S) with love, rested his head on the
Prophet’s feet and died with a smile. He was happy to have furfilled his as
Muslim. Four other Sahabah ® also FELL ONE BY ONE.”
(Stories of the Sirah-Love of Rasulullah (S)-Part III by Abidullah Ghazi &
Tasneema K. Ghazi pg. 6) [emphasis are mine]
Lord Jesus Christ
shows his altruistic nature by giving his life for us, unlike Muhammad who
selfishly gives his life more priority than the lives of his own companions:
“For this reason
Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive
the PROMISED ETERNAL INHERITANCE–now that he has died AS A RANSOM to set
them FREE FROM THE SINS COMMITED under the first covenant.”
Muhammad forces Abu Sufyan to
convert:
“Abu Sufyan was one
of the worst enemies of Islam at one time. He was the leader of the Makkans. He
led most of the armies against Madinah. His wife, Hind, who chewed Hamzah's
heart in the Battle of Uhud, was an even more bitter opponent of Islam.
Before the conquest
of Makkah, the Muslim army set up their quarters outside of Makkah. Abu Sufyan
and Budail went to spy on the Muslim army. The Muslims soldiers caught and
arrested them.
They were brought
before Rasulullah (S). Many Muslims wished for their death, but Rasulullah's
attitude was different. Abu Sufyan was standing before him, helpless. Rasulullah
(S) asked Abu Sufyan, "You have denied Allah. Do you think there is a god beside
Him even now?"
"If there were a god
beside Allah, he would have helped us today," replied Abu Sufyan.
"Do you still doubt
that I am Allah's messenger?" asked Rasulullah (S).
Abu Sufyan said,
"Now I have no doubt that you are the messenger of Allah." Abu Sufyan, although
helpless, said these words with sincerity.
It was below the pride of an Arab leader to save his life by telling a lie. Abu
Sufyan had seen much while opposing Islam. He saw that Allah had made Islam
victorious, that all the promises Allah had made to the Muslims were fulfilled
and that all the prophecies made by Rasulullah (S) came true. It was time for
him to see the light.
He said, "La ilaha
illa Allah, Muhammadun Rasulullah."
He was now a Muslim and part of the Muslim Ummah, a Muslim soldier.
Rasulullah (S) appointed him the Ambassador of Islam to the Makkans and sent him
with a message of peace.
Abu Sufyan was authorized to report to the Makkans that all those who took
refuge in the house of Abu Sufyan or in Bait Allah would be forgiven, and all
those who stayed home would be safe. Abu Sufyan delivered this message to the
Makkans, and most of them quietly accepted their fate.
After the conquest
of Makkah, Abu Sufyan's wife also accepted Islam, becoming a Sahabiyah (R) of
Rasulullah (S).
There is no permanent enmity in
Islam. People who accept the message of ISlam become Muslims, and all their
previous misdeeds are forgiven by Allah and forgotten by Muslims."
(Stories of the
Sirah-Love of Rasulullah (S)-Part IV by Abidullah Ghazi & Tasneema K. Ghazi pg.
14-15) [emphasis are mine]
The author/s accept the fact that
Abu Sufyan was helpless, but are wrong that he accepted Islam out of sincerity;
they really softened the incident. Christian Missionary Apologist Silas states
in his rebuttal: Errors and Omissions in PBS Special; “Muhammad: A Legacy of a
Prophet”- http://www.answering-islam.org/Silas/pbs-special.htm:
"The leader of the Meccans was forced to convert to Islam
with a sword pointed at his neck. From "The Life
of Muhammad", page 547, we read Muhammad’s arch enemy, Abu Sufyan was given safe
passage by Ibn Abbas to meet with Muhammad. During the meeting, the
following conversation occurs: (words in [ ] brackets are mine).
"Woe to you, Abu
Sufyan, isn’t it time that you recognize that I
[Muhammad] am God’s apostle?" He answered, "As to
that I still have some doubt."
I
[Ibn Abbas] said to him, "Submit and testify that
there is no God but Allah and that Muhammad is the apostle of God before you
lose your head," so he did so.
Sufyan did
not intend to recognize Muhammad until...." [emphasis are Silas’s own,

Lord Jesus Christ said,
“Watch out for
FALSE PROPHETS. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they
are ferocious wolves. 16By THEIR FRUIT you will RECOGNIZE THEM.
Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17Likewise
EVERY GOOD TREE BEARS GOOD FRUIT, but a BAD TREE BEARS BAD FRUIT.
18A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good
fruit. 19Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and
thrown into the fire. 20Thus, by their fruit you will recognize
them.”

Sa'd As-Sa'idi:
A man peeped through a hole in the door
of Allah's Apostle's house, and at that time, Allah's Apostle had a Midri (an
iron comb or bar) with which he was rubbing his head. So when Allah's
Apostle saw him, he said (to him), "If I had been sure that you were looking at
me (through the door), I WOULD HAVE POKED YOUR EYE WITH THIS (SHARP IRON BAR)."
Allah's Apostle added, "The asking for permission to enter has been enjoined so
that one may not look unlawfully (at what there is in the house without the
permission of its people)."

Narrated Abu Huraira:
When the Prophet died and Abu Bakr
became his successor and some of the Arabs reverted to disbelief,
'Umar said, "O Abu Bakr! How can you fight these people although Allah's Apostle
said, 'I have been ORDERED TO FIGHT the people TILL THEY SAY: 'None has
the right TO BE WORSHIPPED BUT ALLAH, 'and WHOEVER SAID, 'None has the right to
be worshipped but Allah', Allah will save his property AND HIS LIFE from me,
unless (he does something for which he receives legal punishment) justly, and
his account will be with Allah?' "Abu Bakr said, "By Allah! I will fight whoever
differentiates between prayers and Zakat as Zakat is the right to be taken from
property (according to Allah's Orders). By Allah! If they refused to pay me even
a kid they used to pay to Allah's Apostle, I would fight with them for
withholding it." 'Umar said, "By Allah: It was nothing, but I noticed that Allah
opened Abu Bakr's chest towards the decision to fight, therefore I realized that
his decision was right."
(Sahih Bukhari Vol. 9 Book 84 No. 59) [emphasis are mine]
So
Muslims who should follow their prophet and emulate him must carry on his war
against mankind till they believe NONE HAS THE RIGHT TO BE WORSHIPPED BUT ALLAH.

Ibn 'Aun
reported: I wrote to Nafi' inquiring from him whether it was necessary to extend
(to the disbelievers) an invitation to accept (Islam) before m". ing them in
fight. He wrote (in reply) to me that it was necessary in the early days of
Islam. The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) made A RAID upon
Banu Mustaliq
{One of the Jewish tribes that were in
Saudi Arabia} while THEY WERE
UNAWARE and their cattle
were having a drink at the water. He KILLED those who fought and
IMPRISONED others. On that very day, he captured Juwairiya bint al-Harith.
Nafi' said that this tradition was related to him by Abdullah b. Umar who

It has been reported by Salama b. al-Akwa':
We fought the Battle of Hawazin along with the Messenger of Allah (may peace be
upon him). (One day) when we were having our breakfast with the Messenger of
Allah (may peace he upon him), a man came riding a red camel. He made it kneel
down, extracted a strip of leather from its girth and tethered the camel with
it. Then he began to take food with the people and look (curiously around). We
were in a poor condition as some of us were on foot (being without any riding
animals). All of a sudden, he left us hurriedy, came to his camel, untethered
it, made it kneel down, mounted it and urged the beast which ran off with him. A
man on a brown rhe-camel chased him (taking him for a spy). Salama (the
narrator) said: I followed on foot. I ran on until I was near the thigh of the
she-camel. I advanced further until I was near the haunches of the camel. I
advanced still further until I caught hold of the nosestring of the camel. I
made it kneel down. As soon as it placed its knee on the ground, I drew my
sword and STRUCK AT THE HEAD, of the RIDER WHO FELL DOWN. I brought
the camel driving it along with the man's baggage and WEAPONS. The
Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) came forward to meet me and the
people were with him. He asked: Who has killed the man? The people said: Ibn
Akwa'. He said: Everything of the man IS FOR HIM (IBN AKWA').

It has been narrated on the authority of Jabir
that the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said:
Who WILL KILL KA'B B. ASHRAF?
He has MALIGNED ALLAH, the Exalted, and HIS MESSENGER. Muhammad b. Maslama said:
Messenger of Allah, do YOU WISH THAT I SHOULD KILL HIM? He said: YES. He said:
Permit me to talk (to him in the way I deem fit).
He said: Talk (as you like). So, Muhammad b. Maslama came to Ka'b and talked to
him, referred to the old friendship between them and said: This man (i. e. the
Holy Prophet) has made up his mind to collect charity (from us) and this has put
us to a great hardship. When be heard this, Ka'b said: By God, you will be put
to more trouble by him. Muhammad b. Maslama said: No doubt, now we have become
his followers and we do not like to forsake him until we see what turn his
affairs will take. I want that you should give me a loan. He said: What will you
mortgage? He said: What do you want? He said: Pledge me your women. He said: You
are the most handsome of the Arabs; should we pledge our women to you? He said:
Pledge me your children. He said: The son of one of us may abuse us saying that
he was pledged for two wasqs of dates, but we can pledge you (cur) weapons. He
said: All right. Then Muhammad b. Maslama promised that he would come to him
with Harith, Abu 'Abs b. Jabr and Abbad b. Bishr. So they came and called upon
him at night. He came down to them. Sufyan says that all the narrators except 'Amr
have stated that his wife said: I hear a voice which sounds like the voice of
murder. He said: It is only Muhammad b. Maslama and his foster-brother, Abu
Na'ila. When a gentleman is called at night even it to be pierced with a spear,
he should respond to the call. Muhammad said to his companions: As he comes
down, I will extend my hands towards his head and when I hold him fast, you
should do your job. So when he came down and he was holding his cloak under his
arm, they said to him: We sense from you a very fine smell. He said: Yes, I have
with me a mistress who is the most scented of the women of Arabia. He said:
Allow me to smell (the scent on your head). He said: Yes, you may smell. So he
caught it and smelt. Then he said: Allow me to do so (once again). He then held
his head fast and said to his companions: Do your job. And they killed him.
(Sahih Muslim Book 19 No. 4436) [emphasis are mine]
Kab b Ashraf, a Jew, was killed
because he MALIGNED ALLAH AND HIS MESSENGER! Even though in the Holy Bible,
Moses and Joshua are ordered to kill; they kill by Divine Authority, which
Muhammad as afalse prophet never had. IF Ka'b Al-Ashraf was a threat to Muslims
and to Muhammad then why didn't he just get expelled and not executed like the
Jews of Banu Nadir were, when they according to Islamic sources betrayed
Muhammad and allied with the Meccans. If Muhammad could expel them or at least
give them an opption to go into expulsion and not killed then why didn't he give
Ka'b, who was just one man not even a tribe of Jews, the same option? The same
thing happened to the Jews of Banu Qurayza, who were Jews that were slaughtered
as mentioned earlier in the article. According to ISlamic sources they too were
killed because of forming alliance with the Meccans and treason against
Muhammad. However when we look at Banu Nadir getting expelled and Banu Qurayza
with slaughtered pubescent males, females turned into sex-salves and children
also enslaved we see a double-standard.

Ibn 'Umar:
ALLAH'S APOSTLE CUT OFF THE HAND
of a thief for stealing a shield that was worth three Dirhams.
(Sahih Bukhari Vol. 8 No. 787 also look at Vol. 8 No. 788 & 789 ) [emphasis are

Muhammad does something, which is cruel and unjust. Cutting a
thief's hand, is permanently damaging him and crippling him throughout all HIS
LIFE! A stolen item can be REPLACED, but A PERSON'S HAND CAN NEVER BE REPLACED!
Cutting the hand of a thief, was NEVER practised by any of the Prophets before
him.
Let's compare this with the Holy Bible's view on THIEVES:
"when he thus sins and becomes guilty, HE MUST RETURN WHAT IS STOLEN
or taken by extortion, or what was entrusted to him, or the lost property he
found, or whatever it was he swore falsely about. He must MAKE
RESTITUTION IN FULL, ADD A FIFTH TO THE VALUE TO IT AND GIVE IT ALL TO THE OWNER
on the day he presents HIS GUILT OFFERING."
