The Illiterate Prophet
Some Arab Christians apologists falsely claim that Prophet Muhammad(P) was literate and even knew many languages. They base their falsehood on the interpolation of the word “umiyy” and claim that it stands for “non-Israelite” or “Gentile” and that it does not mean “illiterate”. One wonders why would Arab Christians make such a false claim? The…

The State of Prophet Muhammad’s Religious Beliefs Before the Advent of Prophethood
It is interesting to note that most of his arguments “from a biblical [SIC] perspective” are nothing new. They are arguments rehashed from orientalists in the last century who allege that the Prophet’s(P) religious attitude and practices prior to the coming of the Revelations were no different from his people. Most of these claims were…
What About The Killing of Ka’b ibn al-Ashraf?
The Christian missionaries and the enemies of Islam have alleged that the Prophet Muhammad(P) was an “assassin” who would “kill his opponents in the middle of the night using deceit and lies”. They cite the events of the killing of Ka’b ibn al-Ashraf as evidence for their claims. Our contention is that these bigots are…
The Killing of Abu ‘Afak and Asma’ bint Marwan?
The vulgar Christian missionary using the pseudonym “Silas” has accused Prophet Muhammad(P) of being responsible for the killing of Abu ‘Afak and the death of ‘Asma bint Marwan. The implications of these charges are that he(P) “stiffles” criticism by murdering his opponents. In this paper, insha’allah, we are going to refute these false charges against…
Evaluation of Common Missionary Allegations About The Personality of Muhammad (P)
Recently a South African Christian missionary by the name of “Gary” had been posting polemical snippets of untruth on his “website” about the character of the Prophet Muhammad(P), with total disregard for the answers from the Muslim side. Most of his material is dependent the missionary website Answering Islam, of which he wholly cuts and…
Towards A Re-Evaluation of Muhammad: Prophet and Man
We Muslims believe that Muhammad was the greatest and last of the prophets and apostles of God. We also believe that his character reached perfection. On neither of these claims does the majority of mankind agree with us.
The Life and Times of Muhammad (P)
Edward Gibbon describes the Arabs before Islam in his Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire as “…the human brute without sense is poorly distinguished from the rest of the animal”. From this abject barbarism, an unlettered person elevated them, as in the words of Thomas Carlyle: “…into Torch-bearers of Light And Learning. To the…
Excerpt from Tom Harpur’s “For Christ’s Sake”
Conclusion Regarding Christian DoctrinesTom Harpur, For Christ’s Sake, pp. 124-125 I am well aware that in questioning orthodox teaching — the dogmas of the Trinity and the Godhead of Jesus, the divine origins of priestly castes, the necessity of a pyramid-shaped hierarchy, the theory of Atonement, the infallibility of the New Testament documents, and Christianity’s…
