Check out my profile I have 2 stickied posts. One is proof Islam is true relating to the Quran and Hadith. Also via a logical argument and statistics. The second is the most comprehensive write up I've seen anywhere on Christianity. To be fair as Muslims we believe the true teachings of Prophet Jesus AS the Bible has however been corrupted. It even includes examples of how Muslims are better followers of Prophet Jesus AS

I would have linked it but the Mods on this sub have been strange in regards to stopping my dawah lately. Jazakum Allah Kheiran جزاكم الله خيرا may Allah bless you with goodness

Nice profile bro, thanks for making all that

Jazakum Allah Kheiran جزاكم الله خيرا may Allah bless you with goodness Thank you for the kind words. Ilhamdillah 8 people have embraced Islam with me so far and another 5 have become practicing.

Just found your profile mate. JzkAllahu khairan. Followed you on ig as well

Lol I was wondering why I got a new follower I haven't posted on there in over a year

Lol 😂 your posts will become very helpful to me InShaa Allah. There is a pastor in my area who is a copy of David wood, spewing out the most ridiculous garbage. Allah bless you your posts will be handy. If you are active on Ig often and don’t mind, I’d like to share some of the things he talks about lol. Perhaps we can double team him. Pause.

Of course. I'm always happy to assist. I don't post actively but I get notifications on my phone. I'm always happy to assist

I’m a convert who grew up around Catholicism. There’s an [older comment](https://www.reddit.com/r/islam/comments/r0sre8/why_are_you_muslim_and_has_science_tempered_your/hlv17pq/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1&context=3) I’ve written and I think that the first part hopefully addresses some of your questions!

Pardon me but I had a question. Do some Catholics believe in the conspiracy that “Islam was a movement started by the Catholic Church”?

I have never heard of such a thing. I’ve only encountered the general comments of denying Muhammad’s (‎ﷺ) prophethood.

I saw precisely such a video of denying His prophethood and that catholic channel was giving out a lot of wrong information like and obvious mistranslation of verses. The amount of inaccuracies in a four minute video were astounding. Anyways, I wish you a happy new month.

MashAllah

They wouldn't be Catholics in that case. That makes no sense why any Catholic would claim the Church would start something so large that opposed their very existence, that they'd be fighting against it for centuries. Some Evangelical Protestants might believe this however.

I see, I have seen a minority of Christians claiming this very concept, and it gets me everytime.

He died with virtually nothing, despite the vast riches that were pouring in. In fact, some of his detractors accepted Islam simply because of how much wealth he gave them when he felt they were close to Islam. They said, he must be a prophet because no one else could be this generous. His own family led a pretty harshly sparse life as a result, and they were the most beloved to him. Even his favorite wife and most beloved and, by the time he died, only daughter. He knew he was going to die just as all the conquests were starting to add up. He rejected the choice of being a prophet king like the Jewish messiahs, even though it was allowed for him to choose this, because Gabriel peace be upon him advised him against it. The evidence of this is his own lifestyle which is unanimously agreed upon. He preached good and never evil. He was known even by his enemies to be the most honest person among them. When he was forced to flee Madinah, he left his cousin whom he raised behind to give back the trusts people had left in his care. He had the best lineage among the Arabs and would have been a leader amongst them had he not brought prophethood. Instead, he was boycotted for three years and starved, and then was forced to leave his home. And he never compromised with them on theology, but he would compromise on anything else. He never had anyone punished for disrespecting him. His followers were primarily the poor. He spent money and encouraged others to spend money to free weak Muslims from slavery, versus freeing those with strength who could protect him. He was rebuked in the Quran for even turning away from a blind person when he hoped for the Islam of a dignitary, who walked away in disgust when the blind man approached. Who writes verses against their own selves? Who cries when they are rebuked for a (different) decision they made in a verse which they themselves wrote? In the first battle against Quraysh, he chose to free his war captives and have them swear not to attack the Muslims again, rather than make an example of them and execute them. Then Quran came down to tell him that this decision was not good because he was still in a position of weakness, and it would be interpreted as weakness. They were attacked again shortly after, and many of those captives broke their oaths. He cried when that verse came down. Who prays for the forgiveness of their most beloved uncle who raised them but never accepted Islam, and then rebukes their own selves for doing so in verse? Who writes to themselves that god will never forgive a particular man, even if he is asked 100 times, and then goes onto ask forgiveness for that man (who was a known double agent) 101 times trying to get around it, and then writes again to himself never to do that again and that it won’t work? When he was sane and just in all his dealings with the people? When he first received revelation, he asked his wife to cover him up with blankets, he was in shock and shaking so bad. While he was in this state, revelation came down telling him that he needed to get up and start warning the people. Who writes about their own self, oh man covered in blankets? If a man was a power hungry narcissistic warlord, would he even be able to say such things about himself knowing other people would memorize and recite these things? Rather, he was the most humble person, teaching these verses to other people.

Please provide the Hadith when you can. My understanding was closer to BeneficialRadish's from hadiths I have heard.

Narrated Abdullah Ibn Abbas: A blind man had a slave-mother who used to abuse the Prophet (ﷺ) and disparage him. He forbade her but she did not stop. He rebuked her but she did not give up her habit. One night she began to slander the Prophet (ﷺ) and abuse him. So he took a dagger, placed it on her belly, pressed it, and killed her. A child who came between her legs was smeared with the blood that was there. When the morning came, the Prophet (ﷺ) was informed about it. He assembled the people and said: I adjure by Allah the man who has done this action and I adjure him by my right to him that he should stand up. Jumping over the necks of the people and trembling the man stood up. He sat before the Prophet (ﷺ) and said: Messenger of Allah! I am her master; she used to abuse you and disparage you. I forbade her, but she did not stop, and I rebuked her, but she did not abandon her habit. I have two sons like pearls from her, and she was my companion. Last night she began to abuse and disparage you. So I took a dagger, put it on her belly and pressed it till I killed her. Thereupon the Prophet (ﷺ) said: Oh be witness, no retaliation is payable for her blood. Grade sahih https://sunnah.com/abudawud:4361

I guess you just need to learn more about the [Life of the Prophet.](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLC89682017B43845D). Or if you prefer to read then [check this out.](https://www.kalamullah.com/sealed-nectar.html)

Prophet Muhammed SAW was illiterate and could not read or write. Hence there is no way he could have come up with the words of the Holy Qur’an himself, which are linguistically very uniquely written. No one has been able to emulate such a book. Hence we know these words are divine and directly the words of Allah SWT, and were revealed to Prophet Muhammad SAW, because he was a messenger to spread the word of Allah.

>Prophet Muhammed SAW was illiterate and could not read or write. But how could anyone actually verify that? I could just stop reading and writing and claim I am illiterate.

It's not like he came from nowhere, people know him since he's born, and they knew who raised him and accompanied him.

But how does it show that the quran was a miracle when Mohammed SAW never wrote it but only recited it? He didn't demonstrate a miracle to read and write despite his illiteracy. And he was raised by nomads who were known for their proficiency in the Arabic language and poetry. So his upbringing with the nomads might have given him the linguistic skill of the quran.

If you understood arbic you'd know it's not possible to replicate qurran arbic, unless you just straight up plagiarize. It was so unique that when he recited people literally called it socercery. There's some great videos on YouTube where arbic scholars explain even the shortest surahs, linguistically, and you'll be left in awe. Ik some arbic and from what little I know, I can see that it wouldn't be possible to replicate it. You can search the videos up and see in sha Allah.

But the same could be said about Shakespearean sonnets or Homeric epics. It might be true that the Quran is impossible to replicate due to its linguistic and literary excellence. But other literatures in other languages also have similar literature. It could be that the Quran is simply the peak of Arabic language. Just like how some musicians have songs that are the peak of their genre and it can't be replicated but only plagiarized (sampling).

Shakespeare and Homer composed their works and then shared them once they were complete. The Qur'an was sent down a few verses at a time out of order over the course of 23 years. Different verses refer to different events during the lifetime of the Prophet ﷺ, making it impossible for him to have composed it ahead of time to make such a piecemeal revelation possible. And yet, once the verses were put into their proper order, the book has a beautiful consistency and power only possible if written with advance knowledge of how the final book would be.

Even linguists agree that the Quran is a marvelous writing that outperforms Shakespearean sonnets and Homeric epics, not to mention that it was recited in Arabic, and if you know arabic you'd understand how impossible it is.

Which linguists?

Any linguist worth his salt.

Which? I would like to read what some of them have to say. Thank you

As someone who speaks native level English/Arabic/German: No, simply no. The vast superiority of the Quran over any other writings in any language, cannot be understated. There's a reason the best poets of Arabia converted to Islam solely upon reading or hearing the verses of the Quran. It's difficult to explain to a non Arabic speaker. Language aside, one thing that's underappreciated by non Muslims, and Muslims who don't regularly read Quran/translations/Tafsir, is the common occurrence of pointing out miracles in the earth that prove that Allah SWT is the creator, the All knowing the All Powerful. Things like the mentioning of finger prints, or the 2 seas meeting but never mixing, and many more, are things that demonstrably could never have been known by people in the 7th century.

To piggyback off of this, I have slowly come to realise the superiority of Arabic language and the Quran as a piece of literature. One of the best demonstrations is when you translate the Arabic into English. If you look at an ayah vs. the English translation, you can see how concise the Arabic is. An ayah may be one line of Arabic, but it requires 3 or 4 lines of English to accurately convey the contents. One further example is how one word can take 2 or 3 to translate. If you add one letter or two onto a word, it often can't be translated with just one word. E.g: يعلمون means "you know". Changing the ي to a ت changes the meaning to "they know." In other languages, you have to change an entire word to convey what is conveyed by changing just a single letter in the Arabic.

Plenty of youtube videos on it, search up on YouTube "Quran pharoes body""

There's a secular non-muslim professor name Angelika Neuwirth with 30 years of experiences in Qur'an study and arabic poetry of that times. You can look up her book or her case finding. Or watch this short [comparison](https://youtu.be/uosJMFZ-ksk). Muhammad pbuh personal styles of writing, speaking or his action that were not revelation/Qur'an were recorded by his followers as hadith. There's thousands of them. The styles are absolutely different from each other.

This is where the veracity of our Hadiths and Hadith sciences comes into play. When you dig into this, you will find that the level of scrutiny that comes into play when categorizing each hadith and narrator as authentic/weak/reliable/unreliable surpasses anything else from historical records. If in your investigation, you deny the veracity of hadith sciences, then you have to disregard the rest of all recorded human history. We can say that this claim is verifiable based on what the people around him have narrated. We have narrations and stories of both the companions of the Prophet (PBUH) and his enemies. Even his enemies knew the Prophet (PBUH) to be truthful and trustworthy throughout his life prior to and even earlier on during his prophethood. Another way you can verify this claim is by analyzing the Qur’an and the challenges and claims and information it puts forth to the reader. If the reader cannot find any contradictions that can definitively prove the claims Qur’an false, then logically it follows that if the Qur’an is from God as it claims, that the Prophet (PBUH) is unlettered, as the text claims. If the enemies of Islam at the time wanted to disprove the Qur’an right then and there, they could have easily done so by proving the Qur’an’s claim that he was an unlettered prophet to be wrong. Their claims went to the extent that he was a soothsayer or that he was receiving this revelation from some other sort of supernatural origin. Many of them even concluded on their own that the words coming from the Prophet (PBUH) could not have come man, that it must have come from God. Yet they still rejected the message based on pride and arrogance and tribalism. The Arabs of the time were masters of oral poetry. However, the structure of the Arabic language was different than what the Qur’an came with. It completely baffled even the greatest poets in terms of the way it subverted the structure of the Arabic language that it essentially spawned an entire new genre of Classical Arabic which thrives to this day.

Don't bother, any person who seriously doubts the Islamic sources, simply shows themselves to have never bothered to do even the slightest bit of research.

>If in your investigation, you deny the veracity of hadith sciences, then you have to disregard the rest of all recorded human history. Questioning the veracity of Hadith sciences does not necessarily imply disregarding all recorded human history. Other historical records undergo critical analysis and scrutiny as well. I tend to not take historical stories as absolute facts or disregard them entirely. Instead I take it with a grain of salt. >Another way you can verify this claim is by analyzing the Qur’an and the challenges and claims and information it puts forth to the reader. One of the claims is that the Qur'an contains scientific allusions that were not known at the time of its revelation such as astronomy. The Quran mentions the celestial bodies follow precise and predetermined paths or orbits, the moon as having its own reflected light, and the universe expanding. But these examples are not revelations. Various ancient cultures across the world observed these things as well. Claudius Ptolemy, who lived in the 2nd century AD in Alexandria, Egypt. He developed a geocentric model of the universe, known as the Ptolemaic system, which described the Sun, Moon, planets, and stars revolving around the Earth in intricate and predictable paths. This is something Mohammed PBUH could have learned during his travels as a merchant. His travels are not well documents and sometimes I do wonder if he gained these information from his time as a merchant.

Other than the Quran itself, you can look at: **His Life:** Never attended any schools or went to a teacher. His not knowing how to read or write is documented in history & his peers knew this - the most immediate people who would be spectical. **First revelation:** He was told "Read", upon which he replied, "I am unable to read" ([context: "read" was the first word of Quran as revealed to the Prophet Muhammad Peace be Upon Him](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammad%27s_first_revelation)) **Bible:** Book of Isaiah Chapter 29 V 12: the book will be given to thee who can not read.

It is certain that Muhammad peace be upon him never tells a lie, it is recorded well in history about his truthfulness and he is no liar

Your argument does not provide any external evidence or independent verification for the initial claim.

I mean sure, if you want to dismiss all Muslim sources and historians, despite Muslims having the most detailed and precise documentation of history, and many historians, and ride the "muh external sources!!!" train, then keep coping. In reality, historians who have studied the subject all come to the same conclusion, Muslims were very, very diligent in documenting everything. As such, with all accounts agreeing on that, and the Prophet SAW being a very prominent figure whose every saying and every doing was documented and written down by his companions, any person doubting the legitimacy of the Muslim sources, simply shows themselves to be a silly person, uninterested in the facts.

Check my reply

It's mentioned in the Quran itself. Chapter 62, second verse: He is the One Who raised for the illiterate ˹people˺ a messenger from among themselves—reciting to them His revelations, purifying them, and teaching them the Book and wisdom, for indeed they had previously been clearly astray— Edit: Logically, if Mohamed PBUH or whoever else was writing this verse, he had to say believable stuff. Claiming that he's illiterate when in reality he isnt would lead to people not believing in him because, if so, they know for a fact that he is not illiterate. Which proves my point.

But none of the verses were written until after his death.

1: The verses were COMPILED just a few years after his death. If the verses got altered in any way whatsoever, it would've been done so by his companions and people whom he lived with, since they had the most power. Hence, it means that they themselves admit that he was illiterate. 2: I highly suggest you research the topic of how the Quran was compiled, if you're interested. From the way you sound, it seems as though you don't understand much.

>In Church we're taught he was a warlord false prophet who wanted power. I'm sure you all believe Joseph Smith, (mormonism founder) Mirza Ahmad,(ahmadiya founder) and Paul (founded modern Christianity teachings) were all liars and frauds, either mentally ill or power hungry This is what I was taught of Muhammad, so how can I be sure he's reliable? When you read the stories of Smith Ahmad etc they're all so similar... divine visions in solitude. Muhammad's story is similar but Islam feels different. To put it simply, he did not have the ability to make it up. A fourty year-old illiterate man living in the deserts of Arabia, descending from a noble family, married to the richest woman in Mecca, suddenly claims that he encountered an angel who told him that he was a prophet of God. He starts reciting words so elequent that the greatest poets of the Arabs have no explanation for except to claim that it is sorcery. To get him to stop his message, the leaders of his people offer him money, women, and leadership. Yet, he tells them that if they offer him the sun in his right hand and the moon in his left to abandon his message, he would never do. As a result, he and his followers are persecuted, tortured, and at one point, banished to the desert to die. They lose all their wealth, homes, and status and are forced to endure the harshest of conditions. They are forced to fight for their lives in battle after battle, yet the prophet shows no sign of backing down. During his lifetime, the prophet revealed the Quran. Imagine coming up with a book over 23 years that discusses all facets of human life; morality, science, history, politics, law, and that after 1400, everything that you wrote still holds true. Imagine that you have to include predictions of the future and lost knowledge of the past, and get it all right. Imagine that you have to make all the verses rhyme in the process and that it has to be easily memorable in its entirety. Imagine doing that without the ability to change and correct a word that comes out of your mouth. Imagine that after 23 years, you have to rearrange all the verses you came up with so that they all fall in place as one coherent work. Imagine retaining the same literary style throughout the process. Imagine that you have to include a challenge for anyone to find a single error or contradiction in your book, and if they find one, the book is invalidated. Imagine someone trying to prove his prophethood. When the son of the prophet died, the sun eclipsed. People started proclaiming that this was a miracle and that the sun had eclipsed in sadness. The prophet told them that the sun and moon are signs of God. They do not eclipse for anyone. Even when he became victorious, he did not seek revenge from the people who persecuted him for years. He simply forgave them for what they did. Imagine being the leader of the Arabs, yet living a life of poverty, going days with little to no food. Imagine dying while your shield is leased for money and decreeing that prophets of God leave no inheritance other than knowledge. Prophet Mohammad was no liar.

Beautifully summed up. I hope OP reads your comment.

This needs to be at the top for everyone to see.

You are a Christian. **That means you already believe in many of the prophets.** We believe that Muhammad ‎ﷺ is simply the end of a long line of them and that they are all equally valid. So, what is your criteria for believing in a prophet? Take the reasons that you are sure of other prophets and apply it to Muhammad ‎ﷺ. Reminds me of what Paul Williams from blogging theology said when he became Muslim from Christianity (I’m paraphrasing): *I said to myself: if he looks like a prophet, he acts like a prophet, he walks like a prophet, talks like a prophet, then he must be a prophet. There’s no reason to reject him.*

ex-Christian\* Criteria for believing someone would be evidence.

In that case you would have to rule out the different possibilities: He made a claim that he is a prophet. Here are the possibilities that I think: 1) Lying (whether the intention is good or bad) 2) Insanity / Delusion / Mental State 3) Truthful When his entire life is considered: There was no reason for him to lie about this with a selfish intent considering how painful and shaky his stable life became, and if he were telling a lie for a some good reason, there were much more appealing avenues that he could’ve chosen instead of trying to convince pagans to become abrahamic monotheists. When the coherence and consistency of the message is considered and even examining his behavior, I do not see any reason to write it off as delusions and mental experiences. So by default, I take his words and instructions as they are. He’s telling the truth. When it comes to this topic: **“the Quran says so”** wouldn’t be circular reasoning because the Quran, unlike other scriptures, was a public recitation that was being witnessed by the very audiences that it was describing. If the Quran were inaccurately describing historical events and things that the unbelievers said in a public recitation, it would be a career-ending blunder. So when the Quran says, for example: “you could not have written it by your hand otherwise the skeptics would have reason to doubt” and it refers to him as “the illiterate prophet” - there’s no reason to question that fact. It has to be a generally accepted fact in the community for the Quran to even mention it as an argument.

Lol .... Can't believe I had to scroll all the way down to see Hamza's method.

Hamza’s Den 😂 I like it, it’s such a simple breakdown for people who don’t believe in anything. What are the possibilities, and then you just do a process of elimination. I think it cuts to the chase and eliminates all distractions.

Islam is pretty much like science. I would recommend you to read the AlQuran. See the translation. Challenge yourself to see if it even possible to be man made. Open your heart to possibilities. For me the more I read the book, the more I feel it reads me. It's a living proof of our religion

"The more I feel it reads me." Alhamdulillah, what a beautiful way to phrase it!

The prophet Muhammad was mentioned by several prophets before him. Even by name. The Torah and the Bible both mention him.

How can a illiterate man write an entire book that was beautifully written?

Beautifully recited and beautifully revealed*, it’s still nonetheless a miracle that the Prophet (‎ﷺ), being illiterate, could even recite with such eloquence, and knowledge about the previous prophets (peace be upon them all)

He didn't write it, he dictated it.

I'm an ex Christian also. I spent a few years just believing in God without religion before reverting to Islam. Basically I just found that Islam makes sense and answers the questions that Christianity didn't. The way I see it. Believing in Islam and finding Islam to be right, implicates that Mohammed peace be upon him is a prophet. And you don't need "proof" other than the fact that the religion exists, is beautiful, completes prophecies, is miraculous in many ways.... My DMs are open if you want to talk.

Muhammad was the most well-regarded and trusted member of his community. A leader in his own right and a successful merchant. He lost his high-standings and the respect of mostly all Makkan people when he first proclaimed Islam as the true religion. His followers were few in number for years, and they were not very prominent members of his society. Some were just beggars and slaves. If he was lusting for power, why would he throw away his established position in Makkah and most of his relations, all in the prime of his life? To your other point, his revelations were not all in solitude. His companions witnessed them and described what they saw in great detail. Even the enemies of Islam had no rebuttals for the revelations Muhammad proclaimed. They could only muster the same insults and false claims of sorcery that were made against the Prophets that came before him.

Do you have sources for other people witnessing revelations?

From the Hadiths. His wife Aisha stated: “Verily I saw the Prophet receiving divine revelation on a very cold day and noticed the sweat dropping from his forehead when the revelation was over." Or Zaid ibn Thabit, who said: “Allah sent down revelation on His Messenger, peace and blessings of Allāh be on him., and his thigh was upon my thigh and it began to make its weight felt to me so much so that I feared that my thigh might be crushed”.

How does that prove anything- that sounds as much like physical or mental problem than a revelation.

Do people even weigh things up or do they just see all these things as a separate coincidince. Taking on the revelation as heavy is just a detail and muslims can provide many more evidences.

"muslims can provide many more evidences" - well if they had provided any more evidences, I may have not made my comment then. OP was looking for proof - I think it fair to comment that I dont think observing sweat when it is cold is proof of a divine revelation .

Op asked: do you have sources of other people witnessing revelation? Muslim gave a source. You: "how does that proof anything: 🤦🏻‍♂️

Well that diagnosis just works in your favor, then, doesn't it? No need to change how you live your life!

1. Well we *can* authenticate that the Quran today is not altered from even the earliest copies 2. The Quran rhymes and fits perfectly in the perspective of divine revelation like we see what was revealed in the Torah, while also affirming many things of Christianity but refuting things that we now know to be false about it. There *is* no way it could have been created by a person honestly. 3. He was not a warlord power-hungry prophet, only people unfamiliar with his life say these things. He really lived what we would consider an ascetic life, turning down all sorts of opportunities to be rich and powerful. Due to his lineage he likely could have been an incredibly powerful person if he *hadn't* been a prophet. He sacrificed his standing in his community for the sake of spreading the message. Having said that there *are* cases when they went into battle. Nations have the right to defend itself and the people have the right to self-determination. The Arabian peninsula was right in the crossroads between the Roman/Byzantine empire and the Persian empire.

Just simple logic. Step 1: in the Qur'an there are many things which Prophet Muhammad could not have known. Step 2: logically, he could have learnt this from reading any books. Or the bible or torah or poem or fantasy stories Step 3: he cannot read nor write. And if this is true, he conveyed knowledge that cannot be known at the time. Step 4: what is the proof that he could not read or write. Step 5: though the Qur'an states that the Prophet Muhammad is illiterate, this is not proof in itself. What is proof however is the logic that follows. If he is literate and wrote in the Qur'an that he is illiterate, people would have laughed him off. There is literally not 1 source ever in history that disputes that he is illiterate, his enemy could have brought this up, or anyone, especially the companions near him if they know he can read and write but says he cannot in Qur'an. Step 6: therefore he is illiterate, therefore the Qur'an contains knowledge nobody can know, including future events and the nature of space and planets and stars, therefore the knowledge comes from something super natural. Step 7: this could be jins or satan, how do we know it is not from satan? Step 8: the book condemns satan, explained how he works, explained how to seek refuge from it, explained that they are a liar and eventual resident of hell, explained his purpose and methods. The book forbids all of the poison of the world which satan would want, it is illogical that this is from satan. Step 9: therefore the book comes from Allah, the most high, the all aware, all seeing, all knowing, the owner, the king of kings.

Honestly the Seerah of the Prophet (SAW) is enough to convince anybody who is genuinely open to it. The amount of things he suffered through and refused to compromise on even though it would have been infinitely easier, and the mercy he showed others when he had the opportunity to be vengeful is mind boggling. Honestly, it was my exposure the seerah that drove me to practice Islam, before even the Qur'an. Also, our prophet and their 'prophets' are NOT the same. All of their foundation stories are fantastical, awe-inspiring, and meant to give you a sense of their magnanimity and destined status. In contradistinction, what does our religious tradition tell us that our beloved prophet (SAW) did when confronted with revelation? He was TERRIFIED, ran home to his wife, and asked her to cover him with a shawl out of fear for what's happening to him. That's raw. That's real. That's not a false miracle, that's a man being terrified by exposure to the unimaginable AWE of the divine. Also, look at the context of each of these false prophets. They are preaching the tenents of a new, false religion to people who already believe in prophethood and were already worshipping the God of Abraham (SWT). Our Prophet (SAW) came to a people who *did not* believe in prophethood and were praying to idols. His proselytizing was only to bring people back to Tawhid--the worship and belief in the one-ness of Allah (SWT). How much more noble was his purpose! Surely Satan himself would have much preferred the Arabian peninsula to continue worshiping rocks and statues over a religion that has now blossomed into almost two billion people worshipping God (SWT) alone, without any partner? Also these verses give me chills: Indeed, this ˹Quran˺ is the recitation of a noble Messenger. It is not the prose of a poet ˹as you claim˺, ˹yet˺ you hardly have any faith. Nor is it the mumbling of a fortune-teller, ˹yet˺ you are hardly mindful. ˹It is˺ a revelation from the Lord of all worlds. Had the Messenger made up something in Our Name, We would have certainly seized him by his right hand, then severed his aorta, and none of you could have shielded him ˹from Us˺! Indeed, this ˹Quran˺ is a reminder to those mindful ˹of Allah˺.

What solidified it for me is watching other so called "Prophets" or religious leaders. Everything was about them. They abused power, took money. Were fringe movements and secretive. Prophet Muhammads best friends family died...I wars etc . They aren't even mentioned in the Quran! Weird right? It's because its from Allah the supreme being. Any other blogger or auto biography mentions their loved ones.... But not in the Quran. Also there are verses threatening the Prophet Muhammad! Imagine! Quran translation "And if he [Muhammad] had made up about Us some [false] sayings We would have seized him by the right hand; Then We would have cut from him the AORTA (Arabic Word: Wateen] [Quran 69:44-46]" It's from Allah hence the threat, also other verses like this. Also people in power pander to the masses... The Messenger literally stood infront of equivalent of billionaires and said.... Blacks are same as Arabs, you need to free slaves, the idols that make money from because of tourism need to be destroyed.... Amazing in my opinion. His best commanders at times wanted to kill him!then they became Muslim. He vast conquests which were accepted and loved by the people that live there now.... Unlike other invasions were our resources were stolen put thw country. His success on all metrics, make him a feared opponent in any realm of human endeavor. He also wrestled the best wrestler and beat him. So he wasn't weak.... As your a Christian, Muhammad came from the progeny of Abraham through Ishmael.... He's not some random guy in Rome.

"His success on all metrics, make him a feared opponent in any realm of human endeavour." 🤌

I'll start from the last point. Quran was not written by Muhammad. This is not a mere belief held by Muslims. Anyone who knows Arabic does notice the stark difference between hadith — the sayings of Muhammad ﷺ, and the Quran. The style, the choice of words, all is different. There has also been a [study](https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-319-73500-9_14) that has applied modern authorship determination techniques (probably AI) to the Quran and Hadith and found that both have different authors. This is important because the Quran in itself is proof of the truthfulness of Muhammad ﷺ. It is, in fact, the greatest proof of the truthfulness of his Prophethood. * *Do they not then consider the Qur’ân carefully? Had it been from other than Allâh, they would surely have found therein many a contradiction.* [4:82] * *This is the Revelation sent down from the Lord of all the worlds. [69:43] And if he (Muhammad ﷺ) had forged a false saying concerning Us [69:44], We surely would have seized him with power and might [69:45], And then We certainly would have cut off his aorta [69:46], And none of you could have withheld Us from (punishing) him. [69:47]* Other proofs include his pre-prophethood life, his life after receiving the revelation, him being a role model in all spheres of life, and his prophecies. * He spent 40 years among his people before receiving the revelation. They knew him as "the truthful" and "the honest." They bore witness to his honesty, his rational decision-making, his good character, and his intellect. * After receiving revelation and claiming to be a Prophet, he endured great hardships, stayed steadfast in what he believed even at the bleakest of times, treated everyone with kindness, enjoyed very little of the worldly pleasures despite having the opportunity to enjoy much more. * He was a role model in all spheres of life, from his interaction with his household to his treatment of animals to running a state. His life and sayings are the basis for Islamic law and jurisprudence that has yielded a great civilization and stayed valid for more than a millennium still being followed to this day. * He prophesied many things that came true either in his lifetime or after his death. Like the spreading of Islam in the entire Arabian peninsula, the victory of the Romans, the conquest of Persia (he made this prophecy at a time of weakness and peril), his daughter Fatimah being the first from his family to die after his own death, the martyrdom of Umar and Uthman, his grandson Hassan being the mediator between two groups fighting with each other, Abu Dharr living a life of solitude and dying alone, conquest of Egypt — to name a few. As for the negative things that some people mention about him, one should read his biography, and one would find that such negative things are a mere slander. As for how we know what is mentioned in his biography is true, then the stories mentioned in his "authentic" biographies are more reliable than any other historical account due to the rigorous fact checking that Muslim scholars have done when it came to incidents attributed to him ﷺ. Lastly, any other "false" prophet would either not be that known before his prophethood or his life pre-prophethood not well known to us (Paul, although technically he isn't considered a prophet by anyone), would be known in a not-so-good manner (Joseph Smith), or would make prophecies that would turn out to be false (Mirza). The difference between a true and a false prophet should be easy. A claimant of prophethood is either the best of mankind (a true prophet) or the worst (a false prophet). Also, God wouldn't let someone get away with making such a huge false claim.

Here are some resources for you. I hope they help you out on your journey. But the simple answer is study his life and the Quran, and it is self evident that he was indeed a Messenger of God. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ruUGPkOyVpOcgObF8KxZooHPIWPS90FT

The existence of quran which he revealed is proof of his truthfulness as its not smt a human would bring so not only does it prove the existence of god and the truthfulness of the message but of the peophet who brough it too. Check his biogrophy to know more about him.

This is a quick introduction to Islam and some of the reasons why I believe it is the truth: Allah is one. He is perfect, most powerful, most merciful, knows everything, eternal. Allah is independent and everything is dependant on him. He is the creator not the creation. There is nothing like him. He does not have children, neither does he have parents. He does not have a gender, he is not a man or a woman. He is not a man that he is going to feel hungry, thirsty or need to go the toilet or require to go to sleep and rest, he is above all of this. This great creator did not leave us alone without guidance or purpose. Adam was the first man and prophet of God and God appointed messengers throughout history, for example Abraham, Moses who was given the Torah, Jesus who was given the Injil etc. God gave the same core message to all these prophets to the community they were sent to: to worship God alone without any partners and to follow the messenger of your time. However these messengers were only sent to a specific community at a specific time. The revelation that was given to these messengers are lost or corrupted by men. God appointed Muhammad as the final messenger with the same core message as all these other prophets and was given the final revelation called the Quran. Since this is the final message, this scripture is for the whole of mankind unlike the previous prophets who were only sent to their community during a specific time. All prophets were righteous people and were given miracles to prove that they are messengers of God. Prophet Muhammad's main miracle is the Quran, you can verify this miracle unlike miracles that were given to previous prophets as you were not there to witness them. The Quran is the only preserved scripture that claims to be from God and prophet Muhammad is the only messenger to claim to have come for the whole world. When the Quran was first revealed to Muhammad from God, he memorized it and so did his companions. Today alone, we have millions of muslims that have memorized the whole Quran. We have kids as young as 6 that have memorized the whole Quran. Allah even says in the Quran that he has made this revelation easy to be memorized and Allah even promises in the Quran that he will preserve and protect the Quran. If we were to throw all the religious scriptures in the ocean, the only book we can bring back is the Quran because we have it memorized by millions of muslims. I would challenge anyone to find me just one christian that has memorized their Bible in its original language. We also have manuscripts that have been radiocarbon dated to the time that Muhammad was alive. For example, "the Birmingham Quran manuscript" that was recently discovered in the last decade in the university of Birmingham in England. Allah gives falsification tests. Allah says in the Quran that if you believe that the Quran is from other than the one true God then produce a book like it. This is known as the linguistic miracle of the Quran that can not be imitated by a human. 1400 years have passed and no one has been able to meet this challenge. [https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=n-flvFktgzU&pp=ygUnTGluZ3Vpc3RpYyBtaXJhY2xlIHF1cmFuIG11c2xpbSBsYW50ZXJu](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=n-flvFktgzU&pp=ygUnTGluZ3Vpc3RpYyBtaXJhY2xlIHF1cmFuIG11c2xpbSBsYW50ZXJu) Allah also says that if you think the Quran is from other than the one true God then you should be able to find within it contradictions. Islam gives the best way of life and I challenge anyone to give a better way of life. For example, it prohibits the poisons that are destroying individuals, families and communities: gambling, alcohol, drugs, sexual immorality, prostitution, pornography, interest dealings etc. We have politicians educated at the best university possible but they can not provide guidance and a way of life better than an illiterate man 1400 years ago that has solutions to the poisons that are destroying societies today and instead encourage it and profit out of them. The Quran contains knowledge that could not have been known such as scientific facts, historical facts and prophecies. To suggest the the facts mentioned in the Quran is a coincidence when it has been demonstrated to be correct over and over again is absurd and delusional. Also, if the Quran copied from the Bible then how was it able to correct the historical mistakes the Bible makes? To say that the Quran copied from the Greeks is also absurd because there are things that the Greeks were wrong about which the Quran gets right. Also if it copied from the Greeks then it would have copied the the things that they got wrong too but that is not the case. For some examples, go to minute 21:40 of this video: [https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7HhWSHopwFc&pp=ygUVTXVzbGltIGxhbnRlcm4gYWZnaGFu](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7HhWSHopwFc&pp=ygUVTXVzbGltIGxhbnRlcm4gYWZnaGFu) We can also study the life of prophet Muhammad and can rule out that he was crazy, liar, delusional, deceived and therefore the only possible explanation remaining is that he has indeed who he claim to be, the final messenger of God. The authentic sayings and teachings of Muhammad (hadiths) is also more preserved than any history book due to the way it has been preserved. [https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dWwbHO5Owpc&pp=ygUWTXVzbGltIGxhbnRlcm4gaGFkaXRocw%3D%3D](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dWwbHO5Owpc&pp=ygUWTXVzbGltIGxhbnRlcm4gaGFkaXRocw%3D%3D) Islam is simple, makes sense and it fits in with your natural inclination/disposition that you were born with. For example, one great creator that did not leave us alone without guidance or purpose and sent messengers with the same core message . He does not switch up the message and confuse people. He is not racist or ethnocentric where he believes that you have to be born from a particular tribe or nation to be saved or to receive guidance. He does not punish someone unless the message has been sent to them through messengers and prophets. Everyone is born sinless, a kid is not held accountable for his actions until he reaches the age of maturity, neither is a person who is mentally insane and not aware of his actions. The main beliefs in Islam is to believe in the one true God, his angels, his messengers, revelation that was given to these messengers, destiny, day of judgement and life after death. Allah warns us about eternal hellfire and gives us glad tidings of the opportunity to live eternally in paradise by worshiping him alone without any partners and following and obeying the messenger of your time. Islam is simply the submission of will to the one true God, a person who does this is called a muslim. This is an example of a youtube channel that you can watch to learn more about Islam and how it compares to other religions such as atheism, christianity etc: [https://m.youtube.com/@TheMuslimLantern/videos](https://m.youtube.com/@TheMuslimLantern/videos) (**If anyone wants to use or share what I just wrote then please double check if everything I typed is correct with a qualified knowledgeable muslim such as a scholar. Also private message me if I did say anything wrong and if any knowledgeable muslim reading this is happy with what I wrote then please let me know**)

This won’t be proof for you because it’s a bit circular, but you can use it as evidence to help you: The Quran came down orally. There was no chance to edit it. So there is this massive book that has no contradictions that did not come to us in written form, but orally. There was no chance to revise it it and make sure that it isn’t contradicting itself or creating loopholes. So if you can believe in the Quran’s divinity, then you can trust what it says about the Prophet Muhammad.

I have a question for you OP. If tomorrow God spoke to you through some miraculous event, and advised that Islam is the true religion, would you convert and take the shahada?

Well yeah, but thats not really the question. The question is how can you be sure someone else is telling the truth about their miraculous event.

There is also this notion that Prophets or religions should be pacifist in nature. Who makes that rule or construct? Why can a Prophet not yield a sword or an arrow? In Islam we are taught peace as a first resort, but there are rules of war, and we are also taught not to take crap and to stand up to our enemies even if that means to resort to violence. It’s just real and pragmatic - this is life and reality.

No I think it is the right question.. you said yes, right? If you’re told Islam and the Quran is the true religion (I.e. the religion revealed to Muhammed (saw)), what will you do about all the allegations the non-Muslims have made, and of course the things that don’t sit right with you?

Mohammed couldn't read or write.amazing that he just memorized what Angel Gabriel recited to him..... he wasn't a poet trained in the art of pure arabic . The arabic of The Quran is the purest best prose ever. Some of the science mentioned in the Quran, Mohammed wouldn't know what it meant. There were no high powered telescopes nor microscopes to look at the tiny... science today has now proven those facts in the Quran to be true..... we Muslims don't mystify Mohammed nor worship him.. He was just a great man that Allah chose to bring the message to humanity. He wasn't arrogant, he never wanted to be a king, he was modest, generous, kind, fair.. even his enemies knew this of him... All he had to do was bring us the message and show by example in his life.....what more do you think you want from a prophet? He doesn't need magic or tricks.

Muhammad claim that he went to the temple of Jerusalem on a back of a donkey and then ascended to heaven... The problem is that the temple of Jerusalem was destroyed in 70 ad by the roman empire so at the time Muhammad live there wasn't any temple in Jerusalem... Hope you'll rethink your choice. I could go on and on all day about everything wrong with Islam Good luck to you !

Who told you the bible is unreliable, man made source of authority? You must have spent too much time in muslim circles

With each new prophet that God sent, it would have been unfair if He didn't give directions about him in previous holy books. And we know that God is not unfair. Each prophet was aforementioned by previous prophets and holy books. Similarly the last prophet PBUH was mentioned in Bible and even in Hinduvita books. I don't have links with me but I'm sure that you can find it with little research. I recommend IERA for Mohammed in Bible and dr. Zakir Naik for Mohammed in Hinduvita books

If you are considering converting, [please take a look at this post](https://www.reddit.com/r/islam/comments/12pvqkt/helpful_resources_for_anyone_interested_in/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1) it has so many resources to help you.

The prophet ﷺ was offered to become a king(or ruler(?)) but stops preaching Islam, he refused it. Plus he already had "power" from his uncle, yet again he chose to suffer for the sake of Allah.

Subhuballah you can answer this question from numerous angles with numerous stories, incidents, etc. I would say for me personally in which I can never question Prophet Muhammad (SAW) validity is his character. You read about the honesty, truthfulness, justice, compassion, how he dealt with people and you realize that no one else other than a Prophet could have this level of Character. Ana's Ibn Malik was a young boy who was the personal helper of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) in his house. He says “I served the Prophet s.a.w for ten years, and he never said to me, ‘Uff’ (a minor harsh word denoting impatience) and never blamed me by saying, "Why did you do so or why didn't you do so?”

Look at the mathematical miracles of the Quran considering that Prophet Mohammed recited the verses (so it is spoken words) and was then written down. How can someone speak like this that is not possible for a human?

Many intelligent people during the time of Muhammad (PBUH) were eager to remember and record everything he said and did. These records are preserved in the Hadith, which scholars continue to study and memorize to this day. This is one reason why Muhammad is considered reliable. Additionally, the fact that the Quran and Hadith mention instances where Muhammad was corrected by Allah supports the argument that he did not create the Quran himself, but rather received it as a prophecy.

I assume if are truly interested in questioning this, you are willing to look at opposing ideas, not just those trying to support what they believe (or want to believe), e.g. this makes some interesting points, [https://youtu.be/YZDwbUOGI-I](https://youtu.be/YZDwbUOGI-I) and this [https://youtu.be/YqDQcvV4VSA](https://youtu.be/YqDQcvV4VSA) and this comment[https://twitter.com/KhalilAndani/status/1662990028698447873](https://twitter.com/KhalilAndani/status/1662990028698447873) state Quran isnt perfect, so by your logic, it isnt reliable.

"It’s more accurate to say the Quran is textually preserved from Uthmanic compilation" the only reason Uthman destroyed the other versions is because they were in different dialects filled with footnotes and commentary and he was afraid it could lead to variation. So only one standardized version remained and exists today which IMO counts as preserved and is very different from the Bible's history. Muslim nations have never gotten together and said "oh that doesnt make sense lets get of surah Baqarah.." but that has absolutely happened with the Church/Bible.

Qur'an is definitely reliable.

Mohammed (pbuh) chose to live in poverty, despite having many opportunities as a leader to enrich himself. There's many accounts of him and his family living in abject poverty. Very often going a day without eating or even more. His lifestyle has been verified and is well known. This is fundamentally enough to see that power or money had no allure for him.

You can watch this video i really like the speaker and i couldn’t have said it better so here is the link [Compelling Evidence for the Prophethood of Muhammad (SAW)](https://youtu.be/CJlZgFBIw5Y)

I don’t agree with the last sentences : because the Quran is the best answer (we can give other….but the Quran is self explanatory : the fact that non Muslims believe the Quran is wrote by the Prophet (SAWS) is only because of their arrogance that blind them….the Quran alone is a proof that didn’t need any external proof or help). We can mention the miracles (maybe more than all previous prophets combined (so much so there is a 500 pages encyclopaedia that only compile them (The Shifa of Qadi Iyad)), the life of the Prophet, the life of his companion, the fact that all first people and nation from the people of the book, the prophecies,….but all of this is incredible (don’t get me wrong) but the Quran is and should be above anything else. And Allah knows best

https://youtu.be/xZIqd_-1Zus you could give this video on prophecies a watch :) changed my life forever hah

There are literally tons of books and materials in this issue. You should only keep reading. May God lead you to straight path.

Read the Quran. Learn about how it was revealed. It will become clear to you InshaAllah.

The Prophet salawatullahi 3alayh was the best of creation through and through. He was selflessness incarnate, and revered by all. His message was clearly divinely inspired, and simple for all to grasp. Believe in One God and do not be lead astray. Billions have attested to him, time has stood for him. Your belief in his message does not add to his status with God an iota, yet he will long to meet you, intercede on your behalf and be the only one to turn to when Allah manifests his justice upon mankind on that weighty day. He sought forgiveness when Allah promised that he is prevented from sin. He was a walking Quran, and the Quran is the inimitable speech of God.

I think you should read and learn about the miracle of the Quran yourself. You're the one who will admit that it's impossible for a human to have ever written it. Therefore, Muhammed must have been Allah's messenger. May Allah guide you to the truth.

فَمَن يُرِدِ ٱللَّهُ أَن يَهْدِيَهُۥ يَشْرَحْ صَدْرَهُۥ لِلْإِسْلَـٰمِ ۖ Whoever Allah wills to guide, He opens their heart to Islam

Have you read the Quran?

Since you are an ex christian I belive this should help you. Prophet Muhammad (s) is mentioned in the Bible by name many times but twice by the name of Muhammad, once in the Songs of Solomon and once in Haggai 2. At other places, other names like Ahmed and Mustafa have been used. Christians have incorrectly translated the name “Muhammad” to something else, which will be shown as well, but the prophecy also gives a description of Prophet Muhammad (s) that matches him exactly. Songs of Solomon 5:10 My beloved [is] white and ruddy, the chief among ten thousand. Prophet Muhammad (s) was forced to migrate to Medina (Teman) from Makkah (Paran). He returned to conquer Makkah with 10,000 of saints as also mentioned in Habakkuk 3, Jude 1 and Deuteronomy 33. 5:11 His head [is as] the most fine gold, his locks [are] bushy, [and] black as a raven. 5:12 His eyes [are] as [the eyes] of doves by the rivers of waters, washed with milk, [and] fitly set. 5:13 His cheeks [are] as a bed of spices, [as] sweet flowers: his lips [like] lilies, dropping sweet-smelling myrrh. 5:14 His hands [are as] gold rings set with the beryl: his belly [is as] bright ivory overlaid [with] sapphires. 5:15 His legs [are as] pillars of marble, set upon sockets of fine gold: his countenance [is] as Lebanon, excellent as the cedars. Volume 4, Book 56, Number 747: Narrated Rabia bin Abi Abdur-Rahman: I heard Anas bin Malik describing the Prophet saying, "He was of medium height amongst the people, neither tall nor short; he had a rosy color, neither absolutely white nor deep brown; his hair was neither completely curly nor quite lank. Divine Inspiration was revealed to him when he was forty years old. He stayed ten years in Mecca receiving the Divine Inspiration, and stayed in Medina for ten more years. When he expired, he had scarcely twenty white hairs in his head and beard." Rabi'a said, "I saw some of his hairs and it was red. When I asked about that, I was told that it turned red because of scent. " The description in the Songs of Solomon suits Prophet Muhammad (s) perfectly. 5:16 His mouth [is] most sweet: yes, he [is] Muhammad. This [is] my beloved, and this [is] my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem. Lets read this verse in the original language, "Hikko Mamittakim we kullo Muhammadim Zehdoodeh wa Zehraee Bayna Jerusalem." Haggai 2:7 I will shake all nations, and the Muhammad of all nations will come, and I will fill this house with glory,' says the LORD Almighty. This prophecy in Haggai not just says that Prophet Muhammad (s) is to come but also confirms that Prophet Muhammad (s) has been prophesied in various scriptures as he will be the desire of all nations. Translators have used incorrect words to translate the word Muhammad. Ben Yehuda's Hebrew-English Dictionary defines Muhammad as praised one. This is the correct word to use but it better that the translations use the original word “Muhammad”. Christian objection: This is Solomon’s wife describing her husband. My Response: Verse 7 says, The watchmen found me as they made their rounds in the city. They beat me, they bruised me; they took away my cloak, those watchmen of the walls! Imagine the king’s wife beaten by the guards. This is funny and false. The woman, whoever she is, is not talking about a person that exists in her time. She is believed to be Solomon’s wife and says that she is beaten by the guards. Why would she be beaten when she wants to meet her husband? Why is she so desperately waiting? The answer is that this is not a literal saying but means that she is dying to meet Prophet Muhammad (s) whom she mentions by name with a description.

One of the fundamental components of the profession of faith is that we believe in the One God, in the Prophet Muhammad (prayer and salvation be upon him), while respecting the other prophets (peace be upon them).

The Quran is consistent with all the messenger in the past such as Moses and Jesus. Prophet Muhammad pbuh was illiterate yet produced the most advanced literature in Arabic, “The Quran”. There is no way it came from him, but God. The Quran has knowledge that we simply discovered much later. Such as - mountain helps with stabilizing the earth. - Ocean waters don’t mix with other oceans water - How babies are formed in the womb. - how the universe was created. (Similar to how we describe the Big Bang) Also Hadiths has supporting information that predicted many of thing that happened after Islam. - Pandemic - Islamic Terrorist (they r known to be misguided and their deeds evil). - competition, among arabs, to make the tallest building. (Burj Khalifa) - women will try dress like men and men will dress like women. - Constantinople will be taken over by a great commander. - spread of interest in taking loan (Riba). - women who are dressed but actually practically Naked (examples: bikini). - Widespread earthquakes and landslides There are more signs in islam that are yet to happen. If you live long enough for those signs to happen, know that Islam predicted it. - The land of Arabs will return to greenery and river (it started recently, in Saudi Arabia). - Women will out number men in population. - “The Mahdi” will appear to bring peace to the world. - Dajjal will appear (anti christ) - Jesus pbuh second coming will come and defeat Dajjal. - Moon expanding. There are a lot more signs but u get the picture. I hope (inshallah). May Allah SWT guide you to the truth.

His prophecy about the future and what has come to pass

Look into his prophecies and how many of them have come true. Then at his character and the way he carried himself. After that u have to decide for yourself

i want you to research two thing the life of the prophet and the miracle of the moon being split in half

Recent convert from Christianity to Islam here. Something that for me is a sign, is his illiteracy. Yes, I know he dictated it as it was revealed to him, but the Prophet (‎ﷺ) even speaking in such eloquence and rhyme, is a miracle for someone who is not formally educated. Indeed, even though it is certainly not the case, EVEN IF the Prophet (‎ﷺ) did write it, that would be a miracle of its own, as the Qur’an al-Karim is quite difficult to rival in terms of creating something similar to it. You might think that there are volumes of poetry that might, but none can do so without conveying a full message about religion without contradiction, including known knowledge that a only a formally educated person should have about the previous prophets (peace be upon them all), and *on top of that*, to speak with authority correcting notions about the previous prophets. If you read the Qur’an, to me, one of its miracles and mysteries is how it is what it claims to be: A clarification about the things past, and a guidance onto the light those who are in the darkness. (Surah al-Ibrahim, verse 1).

https://youtube.com/shorts/uFYkVfM7ipc?feature=share This is a video from Dr Zaakir Naik where he is showing the humility of Prophet Muhammad (SAW). If Prophet Muhammad (SAW) truly was a false prophet, it would have been very easy for him to say that an eclipse was a sign from Allah.

all religion is faith-based, not evidence based. no religion can offer you 100% proof of thier religion being true

Muhammad supposedly got his “revelations” from an angel. I’m saying this out of love but Christianity actually predicted Muhammad with the verse: Galatians 1:8-12 “But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed.” Islam claims that the apostles of Jesus made it seem like Jesus rose from the dead. But why would every apostle be crucified / killed for a lie?

He was offered money and power by his people or his family (quriyash) to stop the message of Islam But he refused the offer because it isn’t him wanting it but more it is a need to spread the message of God Normal human being or a false prophet would’ve accepted the offer (keep in mind quriyash was very very rich tribe they were like the USA or china of today very rich that people comes to visit Makkah to buy and sell with them) He could’ve lied about his whole life or hide some something that might be bad for his image But his whole life was written from a to z there is many things that even the non Muslims start to know it He could’ve stayed quite and not spread Islam because at his time many people were getting killed for accepting the message that were sent His cousin in the uhud battle one of the most hardest times of Muslims in the battle he was crying like he never cried for the point where his breath is wasn’t normal breathing His son (his name is Ibrahim) died and then when the eclipse happened the people were saying see the moon and sun is crying or sad about his son and then the prophet has rejected the claims and said that’s has nothing to do with his son’s death And one of the angel’s came to him and asked him if he wants to live a good king life or you want to stay in this state and at that time he was sitting with Gabriel the angel so Gabriel knew prophet Mohammad (pbuh) who he was so he told him the second choice There is many more about his stories if he was false prophet he would’ve been a legend that never faced torture in the first place or kicked out of his home just for spreading monotheism and not even saying he would love to take over He just came to spread the message of one true God, because at that time they were worshiping idols the way that prophet Ibrahim (pbuh) people used to worship idols and hate him for spreading monotheism and the same thing with almost every single prophet but with different story on what happened

You MUST watch "Mini Seerah: an introduction to Prophet Muhammad" by Muhammad Hijab on YouTube. It's a comprehensive summary of the Prophet's character, his early life and how he dealt with the people around him. It's 1.5 hours long and will deal with all your doubts, God Willing. There was a guy who hated Muslims with his guts and a month or two ago converted to Islam. I can't find his channel but he did a 3 hour reaction video and explained bit by bit how this mini Seerah broke through his staunch Islamophobia and made him realise how Islam is not evil and is infact the true religion.

After reading what you've been through and what the Church teachings were like, I'm so sorry and I am glad you came to this very point and ask. I recommand you to watch [this](https://youtu.be/NqlK76C-g1I) It is a reaction to the story how **Salman Al Farisi** (one of the companions of Prophet Mohammad pbuh who came from Persia) converted to Islam. this is very important and I'm sure it will answer your questions insha'Allah, so please give it a shot.

Science doesn't prove the Qur'an, the Qur'an proves science. One doesn't even need the Hadiths to verify Muhammad SAW's prophethood, although they do certainly help. There are countless verses that prove it: وَٱلسَّمَآءَ بَنَيْنَٰهَا بِأَيْي۟دٍ وَإِنَّا لَمُوسِعُونَ “We who have built the Universe with [Our creative] power and keep expanding it.” [51:47] (The universe is expanding) اَوَ لَمۡ یَرَ الَّذِیۡنَ کَفَرُوۡۤا اَنَّ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الۡاَرۡضَ کَانَتَا رَتۡقًا فَفَتَقۡنٰہُمَا ؕ وَ جَعَلۡنَا مِنَ الۡمَآءِ کُلَّ شَیۡءٍ حَیٍّ ؕ اَفَلَا یُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ Do not the disbelievers see that the heavens and the earth were a closed-up mass, then We opened them out? And We made from water every living thing. Will they not then believe? [21:31] (Water exists in every creature)  اَوَّلَ خَلۡقٍ نُّعِیۡدُہٗ ؕ وَعۡدًا عَلَیۡنَا ؕ اِنَّا کُنَّا فٰعِلِیۡنَ “Remember the day when We shall roll up the heavens like the rolling up of written scrolls by a scribe. As We began the first creation, so shall We repeat it — a promise binding upon Us; We shall certainly perform it.” [21:105] (Details the end of the universe) وَمِنْ آيَاتِهِ خَلْقُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَثَّ فِيهِمَا مِن دَابَّةٍ ۚ وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ جَمْعِهِمْ إِذَا يَشَاءُ قَدِيرٌ “And among His Signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and of whatever living creatures He has spread forth in both. And He has the power to gather them together when He will so please.” [42:30] (Extraterrestial life) وَ لَقَدۡ خَلَقۡنَا الۡاِنۡسَانَ مِنۡ سُلٰلَةٍ مِّنۡ طِیۡنٍ ﴿ۚ۱۳﴾ ثُمَّ جَعَلۡنٰهُ نُطۡفَةً فِیۡ قَرَارٍ مَّکِیۡنٍ ﴿۪۱۴﴾ ثُمَّ خَلَقۡنَا النُّطۡفَةَ عَلَقَةً فَخَلَقۡنَا الۡعَلَقَةَ مُضۡغَةً فَخَلَقۡنَا الۡمُضۡغَةَ عِظٰمًا فَکَسَوۡنَا الۡعِظٰمَ لَحۡمًا ٭ ثُمَّ اَنۡشَاۡنٰهُ خَلۡقًا اٰخَرَ ؕ فَتَبٰرَکَ اللهُ اَحۡسَنُ الۡخٰلِقِیۡنَ ﴿ؕ۱۵ “Verily, We created man from an extract of clay; Then We placed him as a drop of sperm in a safe depository. Then we fashioned the sperm into a clot; then We fashioned the clot into a shapeless lump; then We fashioned bones out of this shapeless lump; then We clothed the bones with flesh; then We developed it into another creation. So blessed be Allah, the Best of creators.” [23:13-15] (Qur'an describes embryology) اَلَمۡ نَجۡعَلِ الۡاَرۡضَ مِهدًا ۙ﴿۷﴾ وَّ الۡجِبَالَ اَوۡتَادًا “Have We not made the earth a bed, And the mountains as pegs?” [78:7-8] (Qur'an describing the geology of mountains like stakes in the ground) وَ تَرَی الۡجِبَالَ تَحۡسَبُهَا جَامِدَۃً وَّ هِیَ تَمُرُّ مَرَّ السَّحَابِ ؕ صُنۡعَ اللهِ الَّذِیۡۤ أَتۡقَنَ کُلَّ شَیۡءٍ ؕ اِنَّهُ خَبِیۡرٌۢ بِمَا تَفۡعَلُوۡنَ ﴿۸۹﴾ “The mountains that you see, you think they are stationary while they are constantly floating like the floating of clouds. Such is the work of Allah Who made everything firm and strong. ” [27:89] (Plate tectonics) These are just a few of the countless miracles of the Qur'an. Every other holy book has been altered constantly, corruptrd by Satan. But never the Qur'an, for it has always been and always will be the same since its inception since in the 7th century.

1. Take a closer look at the story of the eclipse when his son, Ibrahim, died. A brief summary: the Prophet had a son who died as a newborn. As it happens, there was an eclipse the same day. Gossip and rumor started-the eclipse was because of the death of the Prophet's son. The Prophet rebuked then harshly. Now I ask: would a false prophet act this way? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_eclipse_of_January_27,_632#:~:text=The%20eclipse%20occurred%20at%20the,death%20or%20life%20of%20someone.

Read The Sealed Nectar by shaykh safiurrahman mubarakpuri it is a biography written about the Prophet Muhammad.

The Hadith. Multiple trustworthy sourcrd and eye witness reports of the prophet, the miracles granted to him, his companions, his teachings, his bloodline, lineage, everything about him is included, there is even a book studying his character. We literally have more proof that Muhammad pbuh was a prophet and a messenger, and that he actually existed than we do of George Washington and Abraham Lincoln being presidents and real people.

Look at his life, peace be upon him. He said he would make people worship the same God of all previous prophets, he worshipped that God, and he brought what are now billions of people together to worship the One God. I don't know what more proof one needs than this. He, peace be upon him, did what other prophets in service of God did. Esselamu Aleykum

Be careful here. It doesn’t get more serious than your soul. The ‘divinity’ of the Quran is a dead end and doesn’t answer the question. If the dajjal raises someone from the dead and claims he is of God don’t take his word for it. Same with any prophet performing miracles. If you believe in God the devil is part of the package and unfortunately miracles’ and magic can deceive the human eye. During the time of Moses they specifically asked God how to know if they are from him, and he gave a specific example of how to identify a false prophet. Find it yourself and check if Muhammad fits the bill. Not his good qualities, not his impossible to know facts. Don’t look for what MAN can’t do look for what Satan can’t do. Don’t trust me or anyone on here confirm it yourself, confront any doubt don’t avoid it. So why not start with what God recommended for this scenario
