A Ratio­nal Approach to the Prophet­hood of Muhammad

It is gen­er­al­ly well-known that a per­son who claims Prophet­hood is either some­one of the best or the worst of mankind, and these two extremes can nev­er be con­fused. This is true indeed, due to the fact that he is either a truth­ful Prophet of God, thus it is accept­ed that he should be one of the best and most per­fect per­son, an exam­ple par excel­lence. Or, if he is a liar against God — and this is the most ter­ri­ble of lies — there he is one of the worst and most wicked per­son to ever walk the earth. This big dif­fer­ence is too great to be missed by any lay per­son, let alone smart and intel­li­gent indi­vid­u­als. It is tru­ly a very huge dif­fer­ence, indeed !

Muham­mad in the Bible : The Shiloh from Arabia

It is vir­tu­al­ly impos­si­ble to read and com­pre­hend the Israeli-altered Scrip­ture with­out tak­ing into account every­thing it says and iden­ti­fy­ing the prophe­cies that had not been ful­filled at the time of Jesus’ depar­ture, and know­ing what has since hap­pened in the Promised Land ~ includ­ing a thou­sand years, in Jerusalem and the Promised Land that came after Jesus had long gone, which are miss­ing from Euro­pean and oth­er West­ern his­to­ry books.

Lead­er­ship Qual­i­ties of Prophet Muhammad

In Prophet Muham­mad (peace and bless­ings of God be upon him), Allah had an uswatun hasana (“the most beau­ti­ful pat­tern of con­duct”, Surah Al Ahz­ab, 33:21). There are numer­ous Quran­ic vers­es exhort­ing Mus­lims to emu­late this exem­plar of a human being. Exhor­ta­tions from the Holy Book aside, a man whose teach­ings are being fol­lowed by one in five peo­ple on this plan­et deserves attention.

Islam and the False Alle­ga­tions of Atrocities

Euro­pean crit­i­cism seems to have lost its sense of jus­tice in deal­ing with the Prophet(P). All the rates of that crit­i­cism seem to be sub­ject to the one con­sid­er­a­tion that what­ev­er is unfavourable and dam­ag­ing to the Prophet’s rep­u­ta­tion must be accept­ed as true. For exam­ple, Answer­ing Islam, a web­site which is full of lies and decep­tion fol­lows in this tra­di­tion as per the meth­ods of their satan­ic apos­tle from Tar­sus by col­lect­ing a series of so-called assas­si­na­tion” orders. Not the least attempt has been made on their part to con­sid­er them crit­i­cal­ly before base­less­ly con­demn­ing a man who is looked upon as a mod­el of virtue and kind­ness by 1.4 bil­lion Mus­lims around the world.

Hans Küng On​“Is Muham­mad A Prophet”?

The fol­low­ing is an excerpt tak­en from Chris­tian­i­ty and World Reli­gions : Dia­logue with Islam”, in Leonard Swi­dler (ed.), Mus­lims in Dia­logue : The Evo­lu­tion of A Dia­logue, vol. 3 (The Edwin Mellen Press, 1992) by the Chris­t­ian philoso­pher Hans Kung who con­veys a Chris­t­ian opin­ion on Prophet Muham­mad (P). We do not nec­ces­sar­i­ly agree with every­thing that has been said here.

The Mus­lim Schol­ars Regard­ing the​“Bewitch­ment” of the Prophet Muhammad

The Mus­lim schol­ars hold three views with regard to this inci­dent. The sor­cery whom the Prophet (peace be upon him) was exposed to is mere­ly a usu­al dis­ease and a tran­sient ill­ness, this is pos­si­ble in regard to the Prophets as is to any human being. It does not dis­prove prophet­hood or dis­turb the mes­sage or rev­e­la­tion. God the Exalt­ed pro­tect­ed His Prophet from what­ev­er inter­feres with the mis­sion of con­vey­ing the mes­sage and from being killed, not from tran­sient phys­i­cal diseases.

The Chris­t­ian Mis­sion­ar­ies and the​“Mys­tery” of Peace Be Upon Him

There is a com­mon claim cir­cu­lat­ed in Chris­t­ian Arab cir­cles with regard to the beatif­ic phrase sal­lal­lahu alay­hi was-sal­lam which comes as an eulo­gy to the Prophet’s name. It was first prop­a­gat­ed in the Eng­lish-speak­ing world by the Chris­t­ian Arab mis­sion­ary, Anis Shorrosh, who claims that this eulo­gy does not lit­er­al­ly mean peace be upon him” but occurs in the Quran­ic text” and : …lit­er­al­ly reads, Lo ! Allah and His angels pray upon the prophet. Oh yea who believe, pray on him and salute him with peace.” In the usu­al vein of mis­sion­ary tra­di­tion, Shorrosh goes on to take the oppor­tu­ni­ty to blas­pheme and make mock­ery of Allah(T) by accus­ing Him of pray­ing[!] to a sub­ject, but we shall not both­er to cite fur­ther from his blas­phe­mous work. Oth­er Chris­t­ian Arab polemi­cists such as Labib Mikhail and the pseu­do­ny­mous Abdul­lah Al-Ara­by soon fol­lowed suit.

Why Was the Prophet Polygamous ?

Did al-Zuṭṭ Ride Muham­mad ? A Crit­i­cal Philo­log­i­cal Reassess­ment of a Mod­ern Anti-Islam Polemic

This study dis­man­tles the al-zuṭṭ hadith polemic through close read­ing, lex­i­cog­ra­phy, and nar­ra­tive con­trol. By restor­ing con­text to yark­abūn, exam­in­ing trans­mis­sion vari­ants, and com­par­ing Semit­ic par­al­lels, it shows how innu­en­do trans­la­tion exploits pol­y­se­my, sup­press­es clo­sure, and man­u­fac­tures scan­dal with­out his­tor­i­cal war­rant with­in dis­ci­plined philol­o­gy and sober method­olog­i­cal lim­its alone here
