Twelve Proofs that Muhammad is a True Prophet

[daylight]

My brothers and sisters everywhere! With this essay, I am not singling out the adherents of Islam - to which I ascribe - but rather I am writing this essay to every man and woman throughout the whole world.

I ask Allah that He facilitates that this essay reaches every ear, falls under the sight of every eye, and is understood by every heart...

Muhammad the son of `Abdullah is Allah's Prophet and the Final Messenger Sent by Allah to the Inhabitants of Earth.

My brothers and sisters everywhere! You should know that the Messenger, Muhammad the son of `Abdullah (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him) is Allah's Messenger in reality and truth. The evidences that show his veracity are abundant. None but an infidel, who out of arrogance alone, could deny these signs.

Among these proofs:

1. Muhammad (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him) was raised illiterate, unable to read or write, and remained like that till his death. Among all his people, he was known as being truthful and trustworthy. Before receiving revelation, he had no prior knowledge of Religion or any previously sent Message. He remained like that for his first forty years. Revelation then came to Muhammad with the Koran that we now have between our hands. This Koran mentioned most of the accounts found in the previous scriptures, telling us about these events in the greatest detail as if he witnessed them. These accounts came precisely as they were found in the Torah sent down to Moses and in the Gospel sent down to Jesus. Neither the Jews or Christians were able to belie him regarding anything that he said.

2. Muhammad (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him) also foretold of everything that would occur to him and his community after him, pertaining to victory, the removal of the tyrannical kingdoms of Chosroes [the royal title for the Zoroastrian kings of Persia] and Caesar, and the establishment of the religion of Islam throughout the earth. These events occurred exactly as Muhammad foretold, as if he was reading the future from an open book.

3. Muhammad (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him) also brought an Arabic Koran that is the peak of eloquence and clarity. The Koran challenged those eloquent and fluent Arabs of his time, who initially belied him, to bring forth a single chapter like the Koran. The eloquent Arabs of his day were unable to contest this Koran.

Indeed, till our day, none has ever dared to claim that he has been able to compose words that equal-or even approach-the order, grace, beauty, and splendor of this Glorious Koran.

4. The life history of this Noble Prophet was a perfect example of being upright, merciful, compassionate, truthful, brave, generous, distant from all evil character, and ascetic in all worldly matters, while striving solely for the reward of the Hereafter. Moreover, in all his actions and dealings, he was ever mindful and fearful of Allah.

5. Allah instilled great love for Muhammad (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him) in the hearts of all who believed in and met him. This love reached such a degree that any of his companions would willingly sacrifice his (or her) self, mother or father for him.

Till today, those who believe in Muhammad honor and love him. Anyone of those who believe in him would ransom his own family and wealth to see him, even if but once.

6. All of history has not preserved the biography of any person in the manner it has preserved the life of Muhammad, who is the most influential human in history.

Nor has the entire earth known of anyone whom every morning and evening, and many times thereafter throughout the day, is thought of by those who believe in him. Upon remembering Muhammad, the believers in him will greet him and ask Allah to bless him. They do such with full hearts and true love for him.

7. Nor has there every been a man on earth whom is still followed in all his doings by those who believe in him.

Those who believe in Muhammad, sleep in the manner he slept; purify themselves (through ablution and ritual washing) in the manner he purified himself; and adhere to his practice in the way they eat, drink, and clothe themselves.

Indeed in all aspects of their lives, the believers in Muhammad adhere to the teachings he spread among them and the path that he traveled upon during his life.

During every generation, from his day till our time, the believers in this Noble Prophet have fully adhered to his teachings. With some, this has reached the degree that they desire to follow and adhere to the Prophet's way in his personal matters regarding which Allah has not sought of them to adhere to in worship. For example, some will only eat those specific foods or only wear those specific garments that the Messenger liked.

Let alone all that, all those who believe in Muhammad repeat those praises of Allah, special prayers, and invocations that he would say during each of his actions during day and night, like: what he would say when he greeted people, upon entering and leaving the house, entering and leaving the mosque, entering and leaving the bathroom, going to sleep and awaking from sleep, observing the new crescent, observing the new fruit on trees, eating, drinking, dressing, riding, traveling and returning from travel, etc.

Let alone all that, all those who believe in Muhammad fully perform-even to the minute detail-every act of worship-like prayer, fasting, charity, and pilgrimage-as this Noble Messenger (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him) taught and as he himself performed.

All of this allows those who believe in him, to live their lives in all aspects with this Noble Messenger as their example, as if he was standing before them, for them to follow in all their doings.

8. There has never been nor will there ever be a man anywhere upon this earth who has received such love, respect, honor, and obedience in all matters-small and large alike-as has this Noble Prophet.

9. Since his day, in every region of the earth and during every period, this Noble Prophet has been followed by individuals from all races, colors and peoples. Many of those who followed him were previously Christians, Jews, pagans, idolaters, or without any religion. Among those who chose to follow him, were those who were known for their sound judgment, wisdom, reflection, and foresight. They chose to follow this Noble Prophet after they witnessed the signs of his truthfulness and the evidences of his miracles. They did not choose to follow Muhammad out of compulsion or coercion or because they had adopted the ways of their fathers and mothers.

Indeed many of the followers of this Prophet (may Allah's blessings peace be upon him), chose to follow him during the time when Islam was weak, when there were few Muslims, and when there was severe persecution of his followers on earth. Most people who have followed this Prophet (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him) have done so not to acquire some material benefits. Indeed many of his followers have suffered the greatest forms of harm and persecution as a result of following this Prophet. Despite all this harm and persecution, this did not turn them back from his religion.

My brethren! All of this clearly indicates to anyone possessing any sense, that this Prophet was truly and really Allah's messenger and that he was not just a man who claimed prophethood or spoke about Allah without knowledge.

10. With all this, Muhammad came with a great religion in its credal and legal make-up.

Muhammad described Allah with qualities of complete perfection, and at the same time in a manner that is free of ascribing to Him any imperfection. Neither the philosophers or the wise could ever describe Allah like such. Indeed it is impossible to imagine that any human mind could conceive of an existing being that possesses such complete ability, knowledge, and greatness; Who has subdued the creation; Who has encompassed everything in the universe, small or large; and Who possesses such perfect mercy.

Nor is it in the ability of any human being to place a perfect law based upon justice, equality, mercy and objectivity for all human activity on earth like the laws that Muhammad brought for all spheres of human activity - like buying and selling, marriage and divorce, renting, testimony, custody, and all other contracts that are necessary to uphold life and civilization on earth.

11. It is impossible that any person conceive wisdom,, morals, good manners, nobleness of characters as what this honorable Prophet (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him) brought.

In a full and complete manner, Muhammad spread a teaching regarding character and manners toward one' parents, relatives, fiends, family, humanity, animals, plants and inanimate objects. It is impossible for the human mind alone to grasp all of that teaching or come with a similar teaching.

All of that unequivocally indicates that this Messenger did not bring an) of this religion from his own accord, but that it was rather a teaching and inspiration that he received from the One Who created the earth and the high heavens above and created this universe in its miraculous architecture and perfection.

12. The legal and credal make-up of the religion that the Messenger, Muhammad, (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him) brought resembles the engineering of the heavens and the earth. All of that indicates that He who created the heavens and the earth is the One Who sent down this great law and upright religion.

The degree of inimitability of the Divine law that was sent down upon Muhammad is to the same degree of inimitability of the Divine creation of the heavens and earth. For just as humanity cannot create this universe, in the same manner humanity cannot bring forth a law like Allah's law that He sent down upon His servant and messenger Muhammad (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him).

Oh, I see -- now that all the points of the post "Twelve 'proofs' that Muhammad is a True Prophet" have been proven to be 100% fallacious, you are going to drop all those points and flip flavors to the "Jesus was talkin about Muhammad when he said Holy Spirit" argument?


LOL

I've got to hand it to you though. You have been a WONDERFUL representative of ISLAM!

Anybody else agree that this thread is dead?

It's amazing how you continue to dodge me everytime I bring proof to you about the prophet. Trying to say that my post wasn't one of the points is an easy way out of answering the question. If you don't know just say you don't know! and don't try to shoot my post down by saying this thread is dead because you have no answer, it's dead because knowone has a reply to the post. If you don't know who the comforter is just say it because I can surely tell you it isn't the holy ghost!
Luke 1:13 But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John. 14 And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth. 15 For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb. Wasn't John born before jesus? So why would jesus say, John 16: 7Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. If the comforter is the holy ghost or spirit how can jesus send something that was already present? Who is the comforter again?
This is my proof that The comforter is a man which is muhammad and not the holy spirit?
If there is no replies I understand caroline!

The problem I see is that your 'proofs' are not proofs at all. They are unsupported assertions, or distortions. I don't see what attacking the bible, even justifiably has anything to do with your 12 proofs of Mohamed being essentially meaningless.

Initially this wasn't my forum to begin with so I have provided my own proofs that muhammad is present in the bible and he is a prophet. I will provide support of my post when there is a reply. I do this from a line of reasoning. If I were to post all of my evidence that he is a prophet spoken in the bible instead of reasoning people would repost something opposite instead of reading entirely what my post would be saying. So I am going step by step here rather than jumping to my answer. This way I can reason instead of prove and disapprove. But nobody wants to reason people just like to argue and part of a debate is reasoning. Since people don't believe the quran I have to go to the source from which they read since they believe it to be true and unfalty. I am not attacking the bible I am reasoning with scripture to better understand. If you have a reply to my post and would like to reason your case against me then feel free!!

Here's my final question.

If Muslims truly do believe in uswa hasana, the doctrine that every single thing that Muhammad did is to be emulated and followed, as did Ayatollah Komeini when he lowered the age for girls to marry to 9 (just as the Prophet did), then my question to the Muslims here who are claiming to have proof that Muhammad was the true prophet of God is this:


If you are an adult man, when you reach the age of 54, would you marry and have full intercourse with a 9 year old child?

Because if you wouldn't, you don't believe Muhammad was the prophet of God and you don't believe that he is to emulated in all his ways, or uswa hasana.

So which is it? Is Muhammad to be followed in all his ways, or not? If everything that was right for him then is right today, then you will surely answer, "Yes I would, as a 54 year old man, take and penetrate a 9 year old girl in full sexual intercourse. Because Allah always knows best."

YES or NO?

[muhammad rasullah]

Here's my final question.

If Muslims truly do believe in uswa hasana, the doctrine that every single thing that Muhammad did is to be emulated and followed, as did Ayatollah Komeini when he lowered the age for girls to marry to 9 (just as the Prophet did), then my question to the Muslims here who are claiming to have proof that Muhammad was the true prophet of God is this:


If you are an adult man, when you reach the age of 54, would you marry and have full intercourse with a 9 year old child?

Because if you wouldn't, you don't believe Muhammad was the prophet of God and you don't believe that he is to emulated in all his ways, or uswa hasana.

So which is it? Is Muhammad to be followed in all his ways, or not? If everything that was right for him then is right today, then you will surely answer, "Yes I would, as a 54 year old man, take and penetrate a 9 year old girl in full sexual intercourse. Because Allah always knows best."

YES or NO?

The answer to your question is not as simple as a yes or a no, it needs explanation just so you are clear as to what I am saying.

In answer to your question about the uswa hasana. The uswa hasana is not the doctrine in Islam that every single thing that the prophet (Pbuh) did is to be emulated and followed. The uswa hasana is as Allah says in the quran about both Mhammad (pbuh) and Abraham (pbuh) when Allah says about Abraham, 60:4 There is for you an (oswatun hasanatun) excellent EXAMPLE (to follow) in Abraham and those with him, when they said to their people: "We are clear of you and of whatever ye worship besides Allah. we have rejected you, and there has arisen, between us and you, enmity and hatred for ever,- unless ye believe in Allah and Him alone": But not when Abraham said to his father: "I will pray for forgiveness for thee, though I have no power (to get) aught on thy behalf from Allah." (They prayed): "Our Lord! in Thee do we trust, and to Thee do we turn in repentance: to Thee is (our) Final Goal. The example we should follow is such, "We are clear of you and of whatever ye worship besides Allah. we have rejected you, and there has arisen, between us and you, enmity and hatred for ever,- unless ye believe in Allah and Him alone". This is the example of uswa hasana which means excellent conduct by the prophet. And for Muhammad as well, 33:21 Ye have indeed in the Messenger of Allah a beautiful pattern (of conduct) for any one whose hope is in Allah and the Final Day, and who engages much in the Praise of Allah. Again one of the excellent patterns of conduct by the prophet is that he engages much in the praise of Allah. If you are asking me if I believe that all the things that the prophet did are to be done by muslims all over the answer is no this is not apart of the sunnah. In the sunnah of the prophet there are things which are obligatory for us, permissible and recommended by the prophet to do. So no everything that the prophet did is not bound upon us to do because he was of such excellent conduct as Allah says and none could not bear all that he did.

If you are an adult man, when you reach the age of 54, would you marry and have full intercourse with a 9 year old child?

Because if you wouldn't, you don't believe Muhammad was the prophet of God and you don't believe that he is to emulated in all his ways, or uswa hasana.

So which is it? Is Muhammad to be followed in all his ways, or not? If everything that was right for him then is right today, then you will surely answer, "Yes I would, as a 54 year old man, take and penetrate a 9 year old girl in full sexual intercourse. Because Allah always knows best."

Would I marry a 9 year old child no I wouldn't. This does not mean that I don't believe that Muhammad was a prophet of Allah but this is my personal preference in marriage. The prophet has never made it obligatory for us to do so and Allah tells us there is no compulsion in Islam. Marriage is a choice of the individual.

Concerning the marriage of Aisha and whether this was an immoral act by the prophet or not we need to understand the following. According to Judaism, Christianity and Islam, right and wrong are ordained by Almighty God. As such, morality does not change over time based on our whims, desires or cultural sensitivities. In cultures where there is no Divinely revealed ruling on an issue, what is right and what is wrong is determined by cultural norms. In such cases, a person would only be considered "immoral" if they violated the accepted norms of their society. As we will demonstrate, the Prophet Muhammad's(P) marriage to 'Aishah, viewed both in the light of Absolute Morality and the cultural norms of his time, was not an immoral act, but was an act containing valuable lessons for generations to come. Additionally, this marriage followed the norms for all Semitic peoples, including those of Biblical times. Based on this, and other information that we will provide below, it is grossly hypocritical for Christians to criticise the Prophet's(P) marriage to 'Aishah at such a young age.

In case Christian readers are under the false impression that their values today are timeless and somehow reflect those of Biblical times, please consider the following points which are directly related to the question of at what age a person is properly ready to be married:Keeping in mind the ideas of "political correctness" and "absolute morality", in Biblical times the age at which a girl could marry was puberty. However, during the Middle Ages it was usually twelve years old. Now in most "Christian" countries it is between fourteen and sixteen years old. In America some states allow partners of the same sex to legally marry, but consider an eighteen year old boy who sleeps with a sixteen year old girl is "statutory rapist". Historically, the age at which a girl was considered ready to be married has been puberty. As the ahadith about 'Aishah's age show, her betrothal took place at least three years before the consummation of the marriage. The reason for this was that they were waiting for her to come of age (i.e. to have her first menstrual period). Puberty is a biological sign shows that a women is capable of bearing children. Can anyone logically deny this? Part of the wisdom behind the Prophet's Muhammad's marriage to 'Aishah just after she reached puberty is to firmly establish this as a point of Islamic Law, even though it was already cultural norm in all Semitic societies (including the one Jesus(P) grew up in).
Hadeeth literature that tells us that 'Aishah was only nine years old at the time of the marriage tells us that the marriage was Divinely ordained: Narrated 'Aishah, may God be pleased with her: The Messenger of God(P) said (to me): "You have been shown to me twice in (my) dreams. A man was carrying you in a silken cloth and said to me, 'This is your wife.' I uncovered it; and behold, it was you. I said to myself, 'If this dream is from God, He will cause it to come true.'" (Saheeh al-Bukhari, Volume 7, Book 62, Number 15)
