Mohammad was a obvious fraud and cult leader who used his Religion and Prophethood to fulfill his desires

1. Muslims argue that Muhammad’s miraculous scientific insights are proof that his message was from God. The obvious problem with this argument is that both the Qur’an and the Hadith are filled with scientific inaccuracies. In Sahih Al-Bukhari 547, Muhammad tells his followers that if a fly falls into their drink, they should dip the fly into the drink, because one of the fly’s wings has a disease, while the other wing has the cure for the disease. While it’s true that flies spread disease, they certainly don’t have the cures for these diseases on their wings.

   Muhammad told his followers that Adam was 90 feet tall, and that people have been shrinking since the time of Adam.v Yet it’s physically impossible for a human being to be anywhere near that tall, and we have no evidence that humans have been shrinking since the time of Adam.

2. The evidence that a human wrote the Qur’an is within the Qur’an itself.

   The 1st surah (al-Fatiha) is a say “iyyaka nadbudu” — you alone we worship

   The 113th surah (al-Falaq) says “I seek refuge in the Lord of Daybreak”, but what protects it from falling into the error that al-Fatiha has is that it says “Qul”, “say”, at the beginning, thus it can reasonably claimed by Muslims that it’s their god telling them to recite this prayer

   Muslims claim the Qur’an is God’s literal words; but why would God be saying to Himself “You alone we worship”, without preceding it with ‘qul’, say?

   The author of Qur’ans omission of “Qul” from al-Fatiha reveals the work as nothing more than the self-written prayer of a mortal man.

3. I’m an ex-muslim and do not believe in any religion anymore. Although I agree with you about Muhammad being a manipulative cult leader, you have some misconceptions about islam, that a muslim would point to.

   Unlike christianity, islam is not a personality cult that revolves around Muhammad. It’s centered more around strict monotheism. It recognizes christianity and judaism as true, but flawed faiths. From the Quran and the traditional biography of Muhammed he seemed to have believed most of what he preached. He was probably fascinated by the story of Moses – the most mentioned prophet in the koran – and saw himself as the restorer of pure monotheism of Abraham. He certainly didn’t pretend to be a demi-god, as he rejected the concept of the holy trinity and the idea of Jesus as the son of god.
   The verse you mentioned says that god and the angels pray upon him, not TO him. It means that god blesses and praises him. In every prayer muslims ask god to pray for Muhammed like he prayed for Abraham. It’s weird, I know, but that’s how 7th century arabs understood the word “pray”.

   Muhammad certainly did take advantage of his position but he also managed to have a profound impact on the people of Arabia. His cult of radical monotheism has enabled these previously insignificant tribesmen to conquer a huge empire in less than two centuries.

4. “In ancient times, the births and deaths of leaders or dignitaries were often supposed to be associated with celestial omens. However, Islamic theology does not accept that eclipses are indications of events on earth. The Prophet’s infant son, Ibrahim, died on 29 Shawwal 10 A.H./27January 632 A.D. The event was dated precisely because historians mention that the sun was eclipsed on that day. Some Meccans claimed that the eclipse was an omen sent by God, indicating Ibrahim’s death. The Prophet quickly rejected this claim, declaring ““The sun and moon are signs of God and do not eclipse for the death or birth of any person””, then he prayed with his fellow Muslims because of the eclipse Islamic theologians probably have used this statement to support the rejection of astrology.”

   If Muhammad saws was after power and might he would never said these things and if you just read his biography you wouldn’t blindly follow anti Islamic sites. Everything indicates that he saws didn’t went for might.

   And the things you say are answered thousand times on dawah teams on YouTube. It’s getting boring.

5. God pray it means that God honor Mohammed not literally pray.

6. The historical Mohammed and the “Mohammed” of modern Islam are about as alike as the historical Jesus and “Republican Jesus.” It’s not just unfair, but absurd to characterize a modern religion by its semi-mythical founder who died centuries ago. The 7th century Mohammed would not recognize the Islam of today.

10. Part 2.

    >Mohammad revealed a Verse which allowed him to keep 1/5th of the spoils of war captured from raided cities during his aggressive military campaigns against Non-Muslims

    >Quran 8:41, Surat Al-‘Anfāl

    >”And know that anything you obtain of war booty – then indeed, for Allah is one fifth of it and for the Messenger and for [his] near relatives and the orphans, the needy, and the [stranded] traveler, if you have believed in Allah and in that which We sent down to Our Servant on the day of criterion – the day when the two armies met. And Allah , over all things, is competent.”

    Lmao read the verse again, it’s for him and orphans and the poor (needy) and the traveler. Not for Muhammad only. + Muhammad when he died he had no money, once there was 7 pennies in his house that he forgot about, he panicked because he left them at his house and didn’t give them as a charity. He once gave a non muslim man the whole spoils because he said “oh the guy who owns this is so lucky” so the prophet gave it to him and he became a muslim.

    >Mohammad also ordered Muslims to murder his critiques, this is why Muslims to this day kill people who criticize him, like the recent assault on Rushdie

    >(There so SO many examples and sources of that, i’m just gonna post the link where you can look it up yourself: https://wikiislam.net/wiki/List_of_Killings_Ordered_or_Supported_by_Muhammad#cite_note-Muhammad_pp._675-676-6

    Give me one authentic narration and don’t bring anti-Islamic websites.

    >As you can see, Mohammad used Islam to benefit himself. He only wanted Power, Sex and Wealth and revealed Verses and did things, which are completely useless for the rest of mankind. If the Quran is really the words of God and meant to guide all mankind for all eternity, then it wouldn’t be about pleasing Mohammad’s earthly wishes all the time

    He could get sex without islam easily,

    He had the power before islam because his uncles and family were the leaders of Quraysh. And after islam they offered leadership to him if he stops the message.

    He had money he was married to the wealthiest woman in meccah. And he didn’t get money after islam, he got suffering only. When he died he had nothing, his wifes used to complain about the miserable life.he used to wrap rock arround his belly when he gets hungry.

    So no the only one who sees is you, cuz you’re blind.

    Ps: sorry for any grammatical mistakes guys … i wrote this on a hurry.

11. Part 1.

    >Mohammad has such a huge role in Islam, that he is as close to Allah as it can get. He is like a demi-god and Islam is mostly all about him. Entire verses are just about pleasing him.

    >In fact the Quran says Allah himself prays to Mohammad

    >Quran 33:56

    >”Lo! Allah and His angels pray upon the prophet. Oh yea who believe, pray on him and salute him with peace.”

    >Allah doesn’t pray to any other Prophets who came before him, only to him, showcasing how Islam is centered around a 7th century Bedouin who knew nothing about the world outside of Arabia. Is this a religion meant for all mankind?

    No he is not close to god or demi-god. Read 18:110.

    No the quran doesn’t say pray to Muhammad. It say “pray upon” and the difference is huge. And yes we can pray to other Prophets.

    From the hadith of Abu Hurairah, and al-Khatib from the hadith of Anas that the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, said: Pray for God’s prophets and messengers, for God sent them as He sent me

    Muhammad is mentioned in the Quran only 4 times while:

    Moses: 136
    Jesus: 25
    Abraham: 69
    Noah: 43
    Josef: 27
    Lut: 27
    Adam: 24
    And many other Prophets. So the Quran is not about Muhammad.

    And yes it is ment for all mankind.

    >When people bothered him at his house, he revealed a verse in which allah tells them to go away and leave him alone

    >Surah Al-’Ahzab – Verse 53Surah Al-’Ahzab – Verse 53

    >“O you who believe! Do not enter the houses of the Prophet for a meat without waiting for the proper time, unless permission be granted you. But when you are invited, enter, and, when your meal is ended, then disperse; neither lingering for conversation; verily this annoys the Prophet, and he is ashamed before you, but Allah is not ashamed before the truth. And when you ask his wives for any object, ask them from behind a curtain. This is purer for your hearts and for their hearts. And it is not for you to hurt Allah’s Messenger, neither to marry his wives after him, ever, verily this is grievous (sin) with Allah.”

    >How does this Verse benefit all mankind? Why is it in the eternal written words of Allah? Obviously Mohammad didn’t care and made up verses as he went along.

    People used to come to his house all the time a lot but he was a polite arab person and couldn’t send them away, he was shy, but god is not shy. And told them to not take that much long time in his houses. Yes this verse hepls humanity, it helps the prophet and he helps humanity.

    >Mohammad revealed verses which gave him the permission to marry more than 4 wives

    >Surat Al-‘Aĥzāb 33:50

    >”O Prophet, indeed We have made lawful to you your wives to whom you have given their due compensation and those your right hand possesses from what Allah has returned to you [of captives] and the daughters of your paternal uncles and the daughters of your paternal aunts and the daughters of your maternal uncles and the daughters of your maternal aunts who emigrated with you and a believing woman if she gives herself to the Prophet [and] if the Prophet wishes to marry her, [this is] only for you, excluding the [other] believers. We certainly know what We have made obligatory upon them concerning their wives and those their right hands possess, [but this is for you] in order that there will be upon you no discomfort. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful.”

    >Again, why does Allah send a holy message to us Humans which is just about Mohammads lust for more women?

    Before islam there was no limit for women, and Quraysh offered him women and position and money. So the Question is for you why he bothered and suffered while he could get women easily ?.

    >Mohammad revealed a Verse which allowed him to marry Zaynab bint Jahsh, the wife of his adopted son Zayd ibn Harithah because he saw her undressed and felt sexually attracted to her, basically justifying adultery

    >Surat Al-‘Aĥzāb 33:77

    >”And [remember, O Muhammad], when you said to the one on whom Allah bestowed favor and you bestowed favor, “Keep your wife and fear Allah ,” while you concealed within yourself that which Allah is to disclose. And you feared the people, while Allah has more right that you fear Him. So when Zayd had no longer any need for her, We married her to you in order that there not be upon the believers any discomfort concerning the wives of their adopted sons when they no longer have need of them. And ever is the command of Allah accomplished.”

    Zayd was a captive and sold for the first wife of the prophet and the prophet (before islam) made him his adopted son. And then married him to Zayneb and Zayneb is the nephew of Muhammad, she was a woman from a wealthy family and Zayd was nothing. She started disliking zayd and zayd because of he is not from a family like her and told the prophet that he wants to divorce her. The prophet said you should not. But the verse came and told the prophet that why did you disclose on the judgment of divorce.

    Bring me one authentic narration that muhammed liked her or sexually attracted to her.

    He married her to him and he told him not to divorce and you’re telling us that he liked her ? wOw lOgiC.

    I’ll respond to the rest in another comment

12. Like Joseph Smith and Jim Jones, and Catholic priests and Baptist ministers.

    Cult leadership is more about power and promiscuity than piety and penance.

13. Mohammad sincerely believed he was a prophet and did not consciously use the position to enrich himself, according to my copy of *The Cambridge History of Islam*. W. Montgomery Watt writes:

    >Whatever the precise ‘manner of revelation’—and several different ‘manners’ were listed by Muslim scholars—the important point is that the message was not the product of Muhammad’s conscious mind. He believed that he could easily distinguish between his own thinking and these revelations.

    It’s true that his prophecies were often self-serving, which is good reason to believe that they came out of his own subconscious vs. divine revelation, but the secular historical consensus seems to rule out the sort of cynical fraud you describe.

    It’s hard to relate to the mindset where one sincerely believes that one’s own subconscious thoughts are really divine revelation, it’s like Julian Jaynes *The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind* stuff. Today it would be called mental illness, especially with the “symptoms” Mohammad would display alongside his prophecies, but obviously there was room for that kind of creativity to command authority in Mohammad’s time and place.

14. >If the Quran is really the words of God and meant to guide all mankind for all eternity, then it wouldn’t be about pleasing Mohammad’s earthly wishes all the time.

    The Quran responds directly to your argument:

    >And if you are in doubt about what We have sent down upon Our Servant [Muhammad], then produce a Surah the like thereof and call upon your witnesses other than Allah , if you should be truthful. – https://legacy.quran.com/2/23

    So if you have a problem with the Quran then go try to make something better.

15. Bismillah

    >In fact the Quran says Allah himself prays to Mohammad

    >Quran 33:56

    Salli alaa has a different meaning to Salli ila. Different preposition, different meaning. Allah doesn’t pray TO the Prophet, sallAllahu alayhi wa sallam. Also, in our 5 daily prayers, we follow the Prophet tradition of invoking Allah to ‘Salli ala Muhammad’ as He did to Ibrahim. So your claim that in our tradition this is unique to the Prophet, sallAllahu alayhi wa sallam, is rejected.

    >Surah Al-’Ahzab – Verse 53

    Read the ayah again. Does it not say that the Prophet, sallAllahu alayhi wa sallam, is too shy to ask people to leave? Considering that we are obligated to follow the Prophet’s commands, sallAllahu alayhi wa sallam, why would he ‘invent’ a verse instructing people to leave? Seems like a bit of excess effort.

    >Surat Al-‘Aĥzāb 33:50

    If His, sallAllahu alayhi wa sallam, marriages were about lust, then why did he limit his marriages? Why not unlimited marriages? Why were they all, with the exception of Aisha, radhiAllahu anha, with widows and divorcées?

    >Surat Al-‘Aĥzāb 33:77

    I fail to see how anyone would consider marrying your adopted son’s ex-wife as incest. Furthermore, this ruling applys to all Muslims.

    >Mohammad was sexually attracted to Aisha, a 6 years old girl and claimed he saw her in his dreams and therefore God told him to marry her

    If this was a manifestation of His, sallAllahu alayhi wa sallam, ‘lust’, why did He, sallAllahu alayhi wa sallam, wait three years to consummate the marriage? Again, considering our unquestioning obedience to him, sallAllahu alayhi wa sallam, no one would have argued had the marriage been consummated with a 6 year old.

    >Quran 8:41, Surat Al-‘Anfāl

    The Prophet, sallAllahu alayhi wa sallam, chose to lie and die in poverty. If these wars were about self-enrichment, where are all the reports of his, sallAllahu alayhi wa sallam, lavish wealth?

    >He only wanted Power, Sex and Wealth

    Except for the first 13 years of Prophecy the Muslim community were persecuted, tortured, then boycotted and eventually forced to leave their city. That’s one hell of a gamble for someone only interested in power, sex and wealth, especially considering he was offered all three to give up the message.

    Even when he, sallAllahu alayhi wa sallam, had political power, this wasn’t used for self-Enrichment, as he lived and died poor. As for sex, if I was only in it for the women, I wouldn’t bother with marriages and just go to town.

    Maybe learn a little about our religion before you try to regurgitate some anti-Islam websites.

    Peace.

16. > In fact the Quran says Allah himself prays to Mohammad

    The verb in original is “salli” which means backup, also the main ritual is named salah because humans have to back it up under every circumstance, until they rest their soul.

    So God supports His Prophet and expects His believer subjects to support him.

    For other verses:

    > Surah Al-’Ahzab – Verse 53Surah Al-’Ahzab – Verse 53

    The explanation in the following verses, as God had left explanation in self referencing format to pick out who wants to pull His words to sides, we have to abide by God’s code.

    Ahzab 57, let Prophet be.

    Ahzab 56, support Prophet.

    Ahzab 55, spouses of Prophet can interact freely with their supporters, so outsiders for them are people outside of their close circuit.

    > Surat Al-‘Aĥzāb 33:50

    God’s last Prophet had sealed the line of Prophethood, and he applied the laws in Torah for the marriage as last man, then he was first man who applied the laws in Quran as first man.

    Torah placed no limit but made the man to submit the bridal money before marriage, the Quran enabled the groom to allow to submit the bridal money at divorce or through inheritance.

    > Surat Al-‘Aĥzāb 33:77

    God denies the right of marrying with the spouse of one’s own child but allow the marriage with one’s foster child.
