Twelve Proofs that Muhammad is a True Prophet

Shaykh `Abdul Rahman `Abdul Khaliq

Originally published by IANA

 

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 tat 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).


It is better to be alone than to be in bad company.

What the Qur�ān Says About Christ

The angels announced good news from God to Mary. She would give birth to Jesus.�Āl �Imrān [3]:45.

He was born of God�s spirit, without a human father.�Al-Anbiyā� [21]:91.

He was born holy (�faultless,� MMP).�Maryam [19]:19.

God made of him a sign for mankind and a mercy from Him. �Maryam [19]:21.

It was said of him that he was the Word of God and his Spirit.�Compare Āl �Imrān [3]:45; Al-Nisā� [4]:171.

God appointed him as prophet and apostle.�Al-Nisā� [4]:171; Maryam [19]:30.

God taught him the Book and Wisdom, the Torah and the Injīl.Āl �Imrān [3]:48.

He performed miracles from God, and was strengthened by Him with holy spirit.�Al-Baqarah [2]:87; Al-Mā�idah [5]:113.

He healed the blind and the lepers, raised the dead, and foretold the unknown.�Āl �Imrān [3]:49.

God rendered him to be in honor in this world and forever after and in the company of those nearest to God.�Āl �Imrān [3]:45.

God caused Christ to die, raised him to life, and then lifted him up to Him.�Āl �Imrān [3]:55, NJD; Maryam [19]:33, NJD.

 

    One Ḥadīth says that Christ is the only one that Satan did not touch: �When any human being is born, Satan touches him at both sides of the body with his two fingers, except Jesus, the son of Mary, whom Satan tried to touch but failed.��The Book of the Beginning of Creation from Ṣaḥīḥ Al-Bukhārī.

    The Koran refers to the miraculous birth of Jesus at Surah 19 (Mary). It says: �We sent to [Mary] Our spirit in the semblance of a full-grown man. And when she saw him she said: �May the Merciful defend me from you! If you fear the Lord, leave me and go your way.� �I am the messenger of your Lord,� he replied, �and have come to give you a holy son.� �How shall I bear a child,� she answered, �when I am a virgin, untouched by man?� �Such is the will of your Lord,� he replied. �That is no difficult thing for Him. �He shall be a sign to mankind,� says the Lord, �and a blessing from Ourself. This is Our decree.���

    The Koran says: �His name will be Christ Jesus, the son of Mary, held in honour in this world and the Hereafter.� (Sura 3:45) As a human, Jesus was Mary�s son. But what father was responsible? The Koran notes: �The similitude of Jesus before God is as that of Adam.� (Sura 3:59) The Holy Scriptures speak of Adam as a �son of God.� (Luke 3:23, 38) Neither Adam nor Jesus had a human father; neither resulted from sexual relations with a woman. Accordingly, as Adam was a son of God, so was Jesus.

On the other hand, what does the Holy writings of God's word say about Muhammad, if he was to (take) over and become the "last prophet?"

Furthermore, why didn't Mises, Abraham, Ha'gar, Ishmael and Ishmael�s 12
chieftains speak of a prophet Mohammed?

Among other arguments that Muslim scribes use to prove the inspiration of the Quran is that Muhammad and his work were foretold in the Bible. According to a footnote on Sura 46:10, Ali, (n.4783) �in the Quran and its Prophet [is found] a true confirmation of the previous scriptures . . . Islam [being] a fulfillment of the revelation of Moses himself! (See Deut. XVIII, 18-19)�

But how could that be? At Mount Sinai Jehovah told Moses: �I will raise them up a prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee; and I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him.��Deut. 18:15-19, AS.

    Certainly it cannot be justly argued that Muhammad, who was a descendant of

Ishmael, was of Moses� brothers. Nor did Muhammad speak in the name of Jehovah God, as did Moses.



Anyone could claim to be sent of God. Moses and Christ proved it by the performance of many miracles, but where were Muhammad�s  miracles? He confessed in the Quran to having none.�See Suras 2:118; 10:38; 11:13; 6:109, Ali.

However Adam had no mother according to the Torah my brother.

Now, the MOST important question? What was the purpose of Jesus� being born of a virgin? What was the purpose of him dying? Only the Torah, the Psalms and the Gospel (Bible) tells us.

Jesus, as a perfect and sinless man, did not deserve to die. He could have lived forever, just as Adam could have if he had not sinned. Jesus did not sin, but he voluntarily sacrificed his human life on our behalf. He took upon himself the punishment for our sins and thus became a ransom for us. The Bible tells us: �There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, a man, Christ Jesus, who gave himself a corresponding ransom for all.� (1 Timothy 2:5, 6) Again, the Bible says: �By means of him [Jesus] we have the release by ransom through the blood of that one, yes, the forgiveness of our trespasses.� (Ephesians 1:7) Jesus himself said: �The Son of man came, not to be ministered to, but to minister and to give his soul a ransom in exchange for many.��Matthew 20:28.


To some, it seems strange that someone as holy as Jesus should be put to death. Hence, some think that he did not really die. But if that were true, then the whole purpose of Jesus� being born in such a miraculous way would not have been accomplished. Consequently, man would have no chance of being ransomed, or freed from slavery to sin and death. However, the Bible says that Jesus did die for our sins. He paid the price God was willing to accept to purchase us out of the dying, sinful condition we inherited from Adam.

Thus, �God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son, in order that everyone exercising faith in HIM might not be destroyed but have everlasting life.��John 3:16.


This was the whole purpose of the Torah, the Psalms and the Gospel

Whoever reads or has read this has NOW assumed the position of responsibility. Life or Death is in your hands.
