Important Note to the Reader:
Craig Winn purposely twisted and modified the English translations that he used! He changes words in translations and uses non-Muslim ones. I've noticed this a lot through his translations of the Noble Verses that he used from the Noble Quran.

CHAPTER 25
PROPHET OF DOOM
I have ordered you to kill them.
Muhammad was a terrorist to the bitter end. Tabari IX:166 The Prophet ordered the expedition of Usamah, but it did not go well because of his illness and because two other Arabs had proclaimed themselves prophets and renounced his authority. The Prophets head was wrapped around because of the pain.
Superstitious, and a believer in occult spells, Muhammad tried to cure himself by going to a magic spring. When that proved insufficient, he blew knots out of a tangle, something that sorcerers practiced as part of their black arts. Desperate, he tried praying to Allah, but needless to say, he only got sicker. Allah had never answered prayers to keep folks alive, only to kill them.
This prophets fixation on Satan and his demonic cast of killer angels tells us a great deal about the nature of the man who invented Islam. Many if not all of these Hadith, were revealed during the waning days of his life as he struggled vainly to cheat death. Bukhari:V4B54N491 Allahs Apostle said, While you sleep, Satan ties three knots at the back of your head. He blows the following words at each knot, The night is long so keep sleeping. If that person wakes up and praises Allah, then one knot is undone. When he performs ablution the second is undone. When he prays, all the knots are undone, and he gets up in the morning lively and gay, otherwise he is dull and gloomy. Satans ugly spirit permeates this hideous cult. But I assure you, Satan cannot, and does not, do these things. All he can do is play havoc with weather and mens minds. He, like Allah, is otherwise impotent.
In this next treasure, we discover that Muhammad believed in magic spells. He sought cures identical to the remedies prescribed by the occultists of his day. As you read this angelic encounter, keep in mind that this is how Muhammad alleges the Quran was revealed to him. Bukhari:V7B71N660 Magic was worked on Allahs Apostle so that he used to think that he had sexual relations with his wives while he actually had not. [Apparently, Muhammad had become like his god in yet another way.] That is the hardest kind of magic as it has such an effect. One day he said, O Aisha, do you know that Allah has instructed me concerning the matter I asked Him about [impotence]? Two men came to me and one of them sat near my head and the other near my feet. The one asked, What is wrong with this man? He is under the effect of magic. Who cast the magic spell on him? Labid, an Arab ally of the Jews and a hypocrite. What material did he use to cast the spell? A comb with hair stuck to it. Where is that comb and hair? In a skin of pollen of a male palm tree kept under a stone in the well of Dharwan. So the Prophet went to that well and took out those things, saying, That was the well shown to me in the dream. Its water looked red and its palms looked like the heads of devils. My companions removed those things. I said, Why didnt you just treat yourself? He said, Allah has cured me, and I dont want to spread evil among my people. Well, its a little late for that now. And the evil spell that possessed the prophet was not cured by Allah. He will died soon thereafter.
A similar Bukhari Hadith confirms that Muhammad was possessed by evil, that he was a fraud who believed in magic spells, and that his spiritual understanding and medical prowess rendered him more voodoo witchdoctor than prophet. Bukhari:V7B71N661 Magic was worked on Allahs Apostle so that he began to imagine he had done something although he had not. While he was with me, he invoked Allah for a long period and then said, Aisha! Do you know what Allah has instructed me to do regarding the matter I asked Him about? What is that? He said, Two men came to me. One said, What is the disease of this man? The other replied, He is under the effect of magic. Who has worked magic on him? Labid, a Jew from the Zuraiq tribe. By saying that his disease was spiritual, not biological, Muhammad became a witchdoctor. By contradicting himself and saying that the perpetrator was a Jew, rather than a Muslim hypocrite, he demonstrated that he couldnt be trusted.
Back a couple of chapters, I shared some inspired scripture from Bukharis Book of Wudu; I saved this one because of its reference to demons. Bukhari:V5B58N200 I carried a water pot for the Prophets ablution and for cleaning his private parts. While following him with the pot, the Prophet turned and said, Who are you? I am Abu. The Prophet said, Bring me stones in order to clean my private parts, but do not bring any bones or animal dung. So I brought some stones, carrying them in the corner of my robe till I put them by his side. When he finished, I walked with him and asked, What can you tell me about the bones and the animal dung? He said, They are of the food of Jinns [Devils]. A delegate of Jinns of the city of Nasibin came to meand how nice those Jinns wereand asked me for the remains of human food. I invoked Allah for them that they would never pass by a bone or animal dung but find food on them. Im not surprised Muhammad thought demons were nice. Nor am I surprised he believes they eat dung and bones. In fact, that pretty much sums up Islam.
As we mosey down this trail of discovery, occasionally something catches our eye that is particularly revealing. Muslim:C14B39N6759 Aisha, the wife of Allahs Apostle (may peace be upon him), reported: Allahs Messenger (may peace be upon him) left my apartment during the night. Then he came and he saw me in an agitated state. He said: Aisha, what has happened to you? Do you feel jealous? I said: How can it be that a girl like me would not feel jealous in regard to a husband like you? Youve got to admire her wit. She was sharing a sixty-two year old pervert, I mean prophet, with twenty-four other children, sex slaves, concubines, and wives of every faith and description. Its only reasonable that she should express some anxiety in regard to a husband like him. Thereupon Allahs Messenger said: It is your devil who has come to you. [Bingo! Her devil had indeed come to her.] I said: Allahs Messenger, is there a devil with me? He said: Yes. I said: Is there a devil attached to everyone? He said: Yes. I said: Allahs Messenger, is there a devil attached to you also? [Now for the moment of truth ] He said: Yes. Muhammad finally got something right. But alas, even that was wrong.
The Hadith ends with the Prophet saying: But my Lord has helped me against my devil and as such I am absolutely safe from his mischief. The spirit that controls demons is Lucifer. They stopped reporting to Yahweh at least 6,000 years ago. As we have learned, mischief has a peculiar Islamic definition. A mischief maker is someone who rejects Muhammad, Allah, the Quran, Sunnah, and Islam. No doubt Lucifer, as Muhammads Lord, ordered the devil who possessed his prophet to keep him from such mischief.
Demons provide the bookends for Islam. Twenty-two years earlier, Islam was born when Muhammad received a recital from a demonic spirit late one night. The experience was horrible, nearly pressing the life out of him. The new prophet tried to commit suicide. Terrorized, he ran home to his sixty-year-old wife, crying, I fear that something bad has happened to me. I have been possessed. Now, in the throes of death, days from his last breath, Allahs messenger tells his teenage wife that the devil never left him. He had become comfortable enough with his demonic spirit to explain that the devil was attached to him.
There was no one closer to Islams Godfather than Aisha. Every Hadith reporting the circumstances surrounding the birth of Islam and the death of its prophet, comes from her lips. She alone reported the nature of Quran revelations, saying that the inspiration process was like the clanging of a bell in her husbands head. She also said, Anyone who claims Muhammad saw Gabriel more than twice is a liar. And thats a serious problem because a devil was attached to him. It is little wonder he was morally bankrupt and vicious.
But more important than all of that, Lucifer, by controlling Muhammads devil, was able to control his prophet. Its why his example was so abysmal (as in from the abyss). Its why his Sunnah was a terrorist manifesto and why the Quran was so mean spirited. Lucifer knows nothing of choice, thus Islam was all about submission and obedience. Lucifer knows nothing of love, thus Islam focused on hate and fear. Lucifer despises truth, life, and especially salvation, thus Islam was about deceit, death, and especially damnation. The reason why has just been explained. He was the Devils advocate.
Next, Muhammad confirmed publicly what he had revealed privately to Aisha. Muslim:C14B39N6757 Allahs Messenger said: There is none amongst you with whom is not an attaché from amongst the jinn, a devil. The Companions said: Allahs Messenger, is there a devil with you too? Thereupon he said: Yes, but Allah helps me against him so I am safe from his hand and he does not command me but for good. The first thing that Team Islam did was to redefine its terms. Most bad things are considered good. For example, terrorism is good. So is jihad, holy fighting in Allahs Cause. Stealing booty is good. So is incest, rape, and slavery.
While were on the subject of demons in Islam, I want to provide a variety of supporting confessions. The first is troubling because the Qurans initial revelation was a nightmare. Bukhari:V4B54N513 The Prophet said, A good dream is from Allah, and a bad or evil dream is from Satan; so if anyone of you has a bad dream of which he is afraid, he should spit on his left side. Speaking of nocturnal deceptions: Bukhari:V4B54N533 The Prophet said, Cover your utensils and tie your water skins, close your doors and keep your children close at night as Jinn spread out and snatch things. When you go to bed put out your lights, for the mischief-doer may drag away the candle and burn your house with you in it. Ata said, The prophet actually said devils instead of Jinn.
Occult soothsayers are demonic messengers. As such, Muhammad knew all about them. Bukhari:V4B54N508 The Prophet said, While angels talk amidst the clouds about things that are going to happen, devils hear what they say and pour it in the ears of soothsayers as one pours something in a bottle, and they add one hundred lies to it.
While thats troubling, this Hadith should send a jolt of terror up every Muslims spine. Muhammads Quran was revealed and recited in rhymed speech called rajaz poetry. So were many of these Hadiths. Muslim:C10B16N4168 Allahs Messenger said: He seems to be one of the soothsayers on account of the rhymed speech which he has composed. So would that make Muhammad a soothsayer or just the father of rap?
Lucifers name is derived from the morning star, better known as the sun. Bukhari:V4B54N494 Allahs Apostle said, When the edge of the sun appears, dont perform a prayer till the sun appears in full. And when the lower edge of the sun sets, dont perform prayer till it sets completely. And you should not seek to pray at sunrise or sunset for the sun rises between two sides of the head of the devil Satan.
In his witchdoctor mode, the prophet proclaimed: Bukhari:V4B54N484 Fever is from the heat of the Hell Fire; so cool it with water.
A devil must have disobeyed Lucifers command so Bukhari:V4B54N634 The Prophet said, A strong demon from the Jinn came to me yesterday suddenly, so as to spoil my prayer, but Allah enabled me to overpower him, and so I caught him and intended to tie him to one of the pillars of the mosque so that all of you might see him.
With each Satanic Verse, Islam continued to self destruct. Bukhari:V1B11N582 Allahs Apostle said, When the Adhan [the call to prayer] is announced, Satan takes to his heels and passes wind with noise during his flight in order not to hear the Adhan. While Satan is an ass in the figurative sense, he lacks human anatomy and thus a digestive system and anus. Bukhari:V3B33N254 Satan circulates in the human being as blood circulates. I was afraid lest Satan might insert an evil thought in your minds. While Satan hasnt circulated within anyone, including Muhammad, the damage he did was far worse. Islam corrodes its victims mind so that they lose the ability to think rationally.
Then moving from back to front, and inside out, we find: Bukhari:V4B54N509 The Prophet said, Yawning is from Satan and if anyone of you yawns, he should check his yawning as much as possible. If anyone during the act of yawning should say: Ha, Satan will laugh at him. Our Satanic journey continues with: Bukhari:V2B21N245 A person slept in and missed the morning prayer, so the Prophet said, Satan urinated in his ears. If Satan and Allah were not the same, Satan would have no reason to be troubled by a Muslim missing a prayer to Allah.
Not a moment too soon, our anatomical voyage ends with: Bukhari:V4B54N516 The Prophet said, If anyone rouses from sleep and performs ablution, he should wash his nose by putting water in it and then blow it out thrice because Satan has stayed in the upper part of his nose all night. If Muhammad had aspired to being nothing more than a witchdoctor, his patients would have sued him for malpractice. How is it then that a billion people trust this false prophet with their souls?
This next Hadith requires some thinking. It opens with a prophetic order to protect the prophets booty and closes with a conundrum. Bukhari:V6B61N530 Allahs Apostle ordered me to guard the Zakat revenue of Ramadan. Then somebody came and started stealing the foodstuff. I caught him and said, Im going to take you to Allahs Apostle! He replied, Please dont take me to him. If you spare me that fate I will tell you a few words by which Allah will benefit you. So then he said, When you go to bed recite Ayat-al-Kursi, (Quran 2:255) for then a guard from Allah will protect you all night long, and Satan will not be able to come near you till dawn. When the Prophet heard the story he said to me, He who came to you at night told you the truth although he is a liar; and it was Satan. Starting at the beginning, the zakat was called revenue, not charity. By this time there were only Muslims in Medina, so the order to guard the storehouse means the first Muslims couldnt be trusted. The thief couldnt be Satan, for why would a spirit steal food? Further, why would someone trust a thief or Satan to share Quranic insights? The referenced verse (2:255) says that Allah is God and that everything belongs to him. Quoting it makes no sense if Satan is Allahs enemy. But it makes perfect sense if Satan is using Allah as a disguise. Yet by saying that it will protect one from Satan, it no longer makes sense. But speaking of senseless, how can one who told the truth be a liar?
So that I dont leave you in the same quandary Muhammad left his stooge, the answer is simple. Satan is everywhere in Islam. Hes in the Quran, in the prophet, in the bodies of believers, in their homes, in Muhammads harem, and in his booty. Lucifer is a liar, so each time the Quran says: verily, truthfully, truly, surely, the right path, or the true religion, rest assured, hes lying. There is a reason the Sunnah says: Tabari VI:107 Satan Cast a False Quran Revelation on the Messenger of Allahs Tongue. And its the same reason surah 22:52 claims: Every Messenger or Prophet before you recited the message Satan cast into his recitation.
My response:
First of all, as I proved in my previous rebuttals, the Al-Tabari and Ibn-Ishaq and other sources are extremely doubtful and unauthenticated. Most Muslim scholars today firmly and strongly believe in this. Not that the hadiths above are bad or anything, but as most Muslim Scholars agree, we Muslims can't take them as absolute Truth or accurate information. Much of these volumes are either corrupt or taken out of context. Again, this is according to the Muslims scholars. This is why these volumes are considered "unauthenticated".

Now having said all of that, the hateful polytheist trinitarian pagan's lies and absurdities above raised the following points:
1- He again and again keep brining up the history with the Jews, which we will shortly see how his absurd points are debunked!
2- The "satanic verses" lie!
Point #1:
From http://www.answering-christianity.com/craig_winn_jews_rebuttal.htm:
My below responses will be divided into 3 main sections:
1- The Jews'
status in the Bible.
2- The Noble
Quran is clear about the Jews. Some of them are Great people, and most of them are
evil ones.
3- After the
Jews' betrayal to the Prophet peace be upon him, it became necessary to punish them and
cleanse them out of the Holy Lands.
1- The Jews' status in the Bible:
Now according to the Bible itself, most Jews are people of evil, lies and worst of all, betrayal. Let us look at what the Bible also says about them:
"O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! (From the KJV Bible, Matthew 23:37)"
"Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. (From the KJV Bible, Matthew 21:43)"
"You have heard these things; look at them all. Will you not admit them? "From now on I will tell you of new things, of hidden things unknown to you. They are created now, and not long ago; you have not heard of them before today. So you cannot say, 'Yes, I knew of them.' You have neither heard nor understood; from of old your ear has not been open. Well do I know how treacherous you are; you were called a rebel from birth. For my own name's sake I delay my wrath; for the sake of my praise I hold it back from you, so as not to cut you off. (From the NIV Bible, Isaiah 48:6-9)"
"So I will disgrace the dignitaries of your temple, and I will consign Jacob to destruction and Israel to scorn. (From the NIV Bible, Isaiah 43:28)"
"But now, all you who light fires and provide yourselves with flaming torches, go, walk in the light of your fires and of the torches you have set ablaze. This is what you shall receive from my hand: You will lie down in torment. (From the NIV Bible, Isaiah 50:11)"
Further more from www.answering-christianity.com/bible_quran_differences.htm:
The Bible gives ample evidence of their blasphemy to GOD Almighty. You can read in full details the following Biblical books:
Exodus 32 - They built their golden calf god using their jewelry.
Exodus 34 - The Jews are hard-headed people who don't listen.
Deuteronomy 31 - Moses is concerned about the Jews' future after his death because they are constantly rebellious against the Holy Words and Law of GOD Almighty.
Here are some sample verses from the chapters above:
Exodus 32
1 When the people saw that Moses was so long in coming down from the
mountain, they gathered around Aaron and said, "Come, make us gods who
will go before us. As for this fellow Moses who brought us up out of Egypt,
we don't know what has happened to him."
Exodus 32
7 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Go down, because your people, whom you
brought up out of Egypt, have become corrupt.
8 They have been quick to turn away from what I commanded them and
have made themselves an idol cast in the shape of a calf. They have bowed down to it and
sacrificed to it and have said, 'These are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of
Egypt.'
9 "I have seen these people," the LORD said to Moses, "and they
are a stiff-necked people.
Exodus 34
8 Moses bowed to the ground at once and worshiped. 9 "O Lord,
if I have found favor in your eyes," he said, "then let the Lord go with us. Although
this is a stiff-necked people, forgive our wickedness and our sin, and take
us as your inheritance."
Deuteronomy 31
25 he gave this command to the Levites who carried the ark of the
covenant of the LORD :
26 "Take this Book of the Law and place it beside the ark of the covenant of the LORD
your God. There it will remain as a witness against you.
27 For I know how rebellious and stiff-necked you are. If you have been
rebellious against the LORD while I am still alive and with you, how much more will you
rebel after I die!
28 Assemble before me all the elders of your tribes and all your officials, so that I can
speak these words in their hearing and call heaven and earth to testify against them.
29 For I know that after my death you are sure to become utterly corrupt and to turn from
the way I have commanded you. In days to come, disaster will fall upon you because you
will do evil in the sight of the LORD and provoke him to anger by what your hands have
made."
Numbers 16
12 Then Moses summoned Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab. But
they said, "We will not come!
13 Isn't it enough that you have brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and
honey to kill us in the desert? And now you also want to lord it over us?
14 Moreover, you haven't brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey or
given us an inheritance of fields and vineyards. Will you gouge out the eyes of these men?
No, we will not come!"
Numbers 14
10 But the whole assembly talked about stoning them. Then the glory
of the LORD appeared at the Tent of Meeting to all the Israelites.
11 The LORD said to Moses, "How long will these people treat me with
contempt? How long will they refuse to believe in me, in spite of all the miraculous signs
I have performed among them?
12 I will strike them down with a plague and destroy them, but I will make you into a
nation greater and stronger than they."
Numbers 14
22 not one of the men who saw my glory and the miraculous signs I
performed in Egypt and in the desert but who disobeyed me and tested me ten
times-
23 not one of them will ever see the land I promised on oath to their
forefathers. No one who has treated me with contempt will ever see it.
24 But because my servant Caleb has a different spirit and follows me wholeheartedly, I
will bring him into the land he went to, and his descendants will inherit it.
Numbers 16
29 If these men die a natural death and experience only what usually
happens to men, then the LORD has not sent me.
30 But if the LORD brings about something totally new, and the
earth opens its mouth and swallows them, with everything that belongs to them, and they go
down alive into the grave, then you will know that these men have treated the LORD with
contempt."
31 As soon as he finished saying all this, the ground under them split apart
Note: I believe this is where they were transformed into apes and swines according to the Noble Quran. The earth probably never opened up and swallowed them. Or may be it did after they were shown to everyone. Only Allah Almighty Knows about the exact timing.
2- The Noble Quran is clear about the Jews. Some of them are Great people, and most of them are evil ones:
From www.answering-christianity.com/blessed_jesus.htm:
What is the place of the Jews and Christians in Islam?
According to Islam, the righteous people from the Jews and Christians will have their Great Reward from Allah Almighty and will enter Paradise. Let us look at the following Noble Verses:
"And there are, certainly, among the People of the Book [Jews and Christians], those who believe in God, in the revelation to you, and in the revelation to them, bowing in humility to God: They will not sell the Signs of God for a miserable gain! For them is a reward with their Lord, and God is swift in account. (The Noble Quran, 3:199)"
"Not all of them are alike: Of the People of the Book [Jews and Christians] are a portion that stand (For the right): They rehearse the Signs of God all night long, and they prostrate themselves in adoration. They believe in God and the Last Day; they enjoin what is right, and forbid what is wrong; and they hasten (in emulation) in (all) good works: They are in the ranks of the righteous. (The Noble Quran, 3:113-114)"
"Those who believe (in the Quran), and those who follow the Jewish (scriptures), and the Christians and the Sabians,- any who believe in God and the Last Day, and work righteousness, shall have their reward with their Lord; on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve. (The Noble Quran, 2:62)"
"Nay,-whoever submits His whole self to God and is a doer of good,- He will get his reward with his Lord; on such shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve. (The Noble Quran, 2:112)"
"Those who believe, and do deeds of righteousness, and establish regular prayers and regular charity, will have their reward with their Lord: on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve. (The Noble Quran, 2:277)"
The Righteous and Beloved Jews in the Noble Quran:
"Of the people of Moses (i.e., the Jews) there is a section who guide and do justice in the light of truth. (The Noble Quran, 7:159)"
The above Noble Verses clearly speak about the righteous Jews and Christians who believe
in Allah Almighty and do righteousness and will have their Great Reward and enter
Paradise.
However, according to Allah Almighty, from among the people of the Book, most of the ones who will gain Paradise are Christians; few of them are Jews. Let us look at the following Noble Verses:
"Strongest among men in enmity to the believers [Muslims] wilt thou find the Jews and Pagans; and nearest among them in love to the believers wilt thou find those who say, 'We are Christians': because amongst these are men devoted to learning and men who have renounced the world, and they are not arrogant. (The Noble Quran, 5:82)"
"The Jews say: 'God's hand is tied up.' Be their hands tied up and be they accursed for the (blasphemy) they utter. Nay, both His hands are widely outstretched: He giveth and spendeth (of His bounty) as He pleaseth. But the revelation that cometh to thee from God increaseth in most of them their obstinate rebellion and blasphemy. Amongst them we have placed enmity and hatred till the Day of Judgment. Every time they kindle the fire of war, God doth extinguish it; but they strive to do mischief on earth. And God loveth not those who do mischief. (The Noble Quran, 5:64)"
"But because of their breach of their covenant, We cursed them, and made their hearts grow hard; they change the words from their (right) places and forget a good part of the message that was sent them, nor wilt thou cease to find them- barring a few - ever bent on (new) deceits: but forgive them, and overlook (their misdeeds): for God loveth those who are kind. (The Noble Quran, 5:13)"
We must also know that according to Islam most of the People of the Book (Jews and Christians) are perverted transgressors, deceiving, in some cases are hypocrites, and most of them are considered Truth rejecters! Let us look at the following Noble Verses:
"Ye [Muslims] are the best of peoples, evolved for mankind, enjoining what is right, forbidding what is wrong, and believing in God. If only the People of the Book [Jews and Christians] had faith, it were best for them: among them are some who have faith, but most of them are perverted transgressors. (The Noble Quran 3:110)"
"And they say: 'None shall enter Paradise unless he be a Jew or a Christian.' Those are their (vain) desires. Say: 'Produce your proof if ye are truthful.' (The Noble Quran, 2:111)"
"A section of the People of the Book [Jews and Christians during Prophet Muhammad's time] say: Believe in the morning what is revealed to the believers [Muslims], but reject it at the end of the day; perchance they may (themselves) turn back (from Islam). (The Noble Quran, 3:72)"
"Never will the Jews or the Christians be satisfied with thee unless thou follow their form of religion. Say: 'The Guidance of God,-that is the (only) Guidance.' Wert thou to follow their desires after the knowledge which hath reached thee, then wouldst thou find neither Protector nor helper against God. (The Noble Quran, 2:120)"
"They say: 'Become Jews or Christians if ye would be guided (To salvation).' Say thou: 'Nay! (I would rather) the Religion of Abraham the True, and he joined not gods with God.' (The Noble Quran, 2:135)"
"They do blaspheme who say: 'Allah is Christ the son of Mary.' But said Christ: 'O Children of Israel! Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord.' Whoever joins other gods with Allah - Allah will forbid him the Garden, and the Fire will be his abode. There will for the wrongdoers be no one to help. (The Holy Quran, 5:72)"
3- After the Jews' betrayal to the Prophet peace be upon him, it became necessary to punish them and cleanse them out of the Holy Lands:
From http://www.alminbar.com/khutbaheng/819.htm:
.............
Let us never forget that the Jews fought against the most honourable person and the master of the Prophets and Messengers; our Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam, until the very last moment of his life, despite the fact that they knew for certain that he was the seal of the Prophets which the Torah and the Bible had mentioned. They also knew for sure that Allaah would grant him victory over them and all other disbelievers; but despite all of this, they still fought, betrayed and deceived him. Moreover, they actually plotted to assassinate him sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam and never lowered the banner of war against him.
During the worst and most difficult times of times for the Prophet sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam, at the battle of the trench, while there were armies surrounding Madeenah, the Jews plotted to kill the Prophet sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam and his companions from within Madeenah. The companions, may Allah be pleased with them, were having a terrible experience during this battle, yet the Jews of Banu Quraydhah (who were one of the Jewish tribes of Madeenah), at this most critical of times, broke the pledge of non-aggression and mutual defence which they given to the Prophet sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam.
The Jews intimidated the Muslims, which added to their sense of fear and danger of being in Madeenah. Their families were at great risk and had it not been for the mercy of Allaah, the Jews of Banu Quraydhah would have started another front in the war against the Muslims from within, just when the Muslims were at their most vulnerable.
Allaah rendered the Jews plans as futile as well as those of the confederate tribes who had surrounded Madeenah. He sent down His angels who cast terror into the hearts of the confederates and they withdrew, leaving the Jews of Banu Quraydhah alone with no support.
When the battle was over, the Muslim army and the Prophet sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam went back to their homes. He sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam then took off his armour and began to have a wash when the angel Jibreel, peace be upon him, came to him and said: O Messenger of Allaah! You have taken off your armour, but I swear by Allaah that the angels have not yet put down their weapons, go to them (and he pointed in the direction of Banu Quraydhah). Thereupon, the Prophet sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam instructed an envoy to command the Muslim army to go to attack Banu Quraydhah by proclaiming: None of you should pray Asr until they are within the territory of Banu Quraydhah. After this, the Messenger of Allaah sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam set out with his army of believers who numbered close to three-thousand mujaahideen.
Banu Quraydhah were surrounded and blockaded for more than twenty nights until they offered to surrender on the condition that Sad Ibn Muaadh, may Allaah be pleased with him, would act as an arbiter in their case. They asked for this because he, may Allaah be pleased with him, was from the tribe of Aws who were their allies before Islaam and therefore they hoped that he would give a biased judgement in their favour. Also, they refused the Prophet sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam as a judge because they where afraid of the consequences of his judgement.
So the Prophet sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam sent for Sad, who was injured during the battle and therefore had to be carried. The judgement of Sad was that all their men should be beheaded, their properties be seized and distributed among the Muslims and that their women and offspring be held captive. Thereupon, the Messenger of Allaah exclaimed: Allaahu Akbar! O Sad! You have judged by the command of Allaah.
Indeed, this is the judgment of Allaah with regard to the Jews who are the people of betrayal, deception, evil and corruption; the people who exhibited these repugnant characteristics even with the most honourable of the creations of Allaah; His Prophets and Messengers.

From http://www.islamic-message.net/English/Books/lopm/chptr21.htm:
WHEN the Prophet (Pbuh) first arrived in Medina, the Jews whowere living there had welcomed him. The Prophet (Pbuh) had returned their greeting, as he wished to be on good terms with them. An agreement was also reached between the Muslims and the Jews, which gave the Jews the freedom to practice their religion andwhich also set out their rights and their duties. Among these duties was that in the case of war with Quraysh, the Jews would fight on the side of the Muslims.
Despite this agreement, however, some of the Jewish tribes, who resented the Prophet's presence in Medina, soon began to cause trouble amongst the Muslims. They tried to set the Muslim Emigrants from Mecca and the Ansar against each other. The troublemakers were given many warnings but they continued to be a nuisance. In the end, the Muslims had no choice but to drive them from Medina. A new agreement was offered those Jews who remained but the trouble did not end there. One of the Jewish tribes, the Bani Nadir plotted to murder the Prophet (Pbuh) but their plan was discovered and they, too, were exiled from the city. Knowing that they could not defeat the Muslims themselves, some of the leaders of the exiled Jews secretly went to Mecca to enlist the help of Quraysh. Knowing what the Meccans would like to hear, they pretended to believe in the same things. They said that they thought that the old Arab tradition was better than the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad (Pbuh) and that they believed that the Quraysh religion of worshipping many idols was better than the Prophet's with only one God. Then the Jews told them that if all the Arab tribes attacked Medina, the Jews inside the city would help to defeat the Prophet (Pbuh) and Islam once and for all.
The leaders of Quraysh were pleased to hear all this and seizing on what seemed to them a very good opportunity, agreed to the plan and began to gather together a formidable army. In the meantime in Medina, only one Jewish tribe, the Bani Quraydhah, refused to betray the Muslims.
Eventually the Muslims learned of the preparations being made for war in Mecca and of the plotting of the Jews within Medina itself. The betrayal of the Muslims by the Jews did not surprise the Prophet (Pbuh), who said of them: 'The hearts of the Jews have become closed to the truth. They have forgotten what Muses taught them long ago that there is only one God.'
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the
Merciful
The likeness of those who are
entrusted with the
Law of Moses, yet apply it not, is as the
likeness of the ass carrying books.
Evil is the likeness of the people who
deny the revelations of Allah. And Allah guideth not wrongdoing folk.
(Koran lxii.5)
The Muslims wondered how they could defend Medina. They heard that Abu Sufyan was coming to attack them with an enormous army which included many other Arab tribes, as well as Quraysh. What were theyto do with only a single week to prepare? The Prophet (Pbuh) and his men knew that it would be impossible for them to fight off all these tribes! The only thing they could do was to stay inside the city and try to defend it as best they could.
Now among the people of Medina was a Persian named Salman, who had to live in the city some time before the Prophet's arrival there. As a convert to Christianity he had traveled to Medina after Christian sages had told him that a Prophet would be born in Arabia. On arriving in Medina he was, however, sold into slavery by the merchants with whom he had traveled. Later he became a Muslim, gained his freedom and became a member of the Prophet's household.
When the people gathered to discuss a plan of action against the approaching enemy, Salman was present and it was he who suggested that they should dig a trench around the city. The Prophet (Pbuh) thought this a good idea, so the Muslims set to work, although it was in the middle of winter. They worked day and night, digging the trench as quickly as possible. The Prophet (Pbuh) himself carried rocks and when the men were tired he gave them the will to carry on. Someone later recalled how beautiful he looked, dressed in a red cloak with dust upon his breast and his dark hair nearly reaching his shoulders.
There was little food at this time and the men were often hungry as they worked. On one occasion, however, a little girl gave some dates to the Prophet (Pbuh), which he spread out on a cloth. The men were then called to eat and the dates kept increasing in number until everyone had been fed. Even after everyone had eaten their fill, the dates continued to increase so that there were more than the cloth could hold.
Similarly, there is the story of the lamb, that has come down to us from one who was there: 'We worked with the Apostle at the trench. I had a half-grown lamb and I thought it would be a good thing to cook it for Allah's Messenger. I told my wife to grind barley and make some bread for us. I killed the lamb and we roasted it for the Prophet (Pbuh). When night fell and he was about to leave the trench, I told him we had prepared bread and meat and invited him to our home. I wanted him to come on his own, but when I said this he sent someone to call all the men to come along. Everyone arrived and the food was served. He blessed it and invoked the Name of Allah over it. Then he ate and so did all of the others. As soon as one lot were satisfied, another group came until all the diggers had eaten enough, but still there was food to spare.
On March 24, 627 A.D., Abu Sufyan arrived with more than ten thousand men. The Muslims numbered only three thousand. Quraysh and their allies surrounded Medina but between the two armies was the long, wide trench. The Prophet (pbuh) and his men stayed behind this trench for nearly a month defending the city against their more powerful enemy. Many times warriors tried to cross the trench and enter the city, but each time they were pushed back by the Muslims. The Muslims were afraid that if any did manage to cross over, the Jews inside Medina would join forces with them and the Muslims would be beaten. The Jewish tribe of Bani Quraydhah, who had stood by the agreement with the Muslims, were pressed by a Jewish emissary from the enemy without, to break their promise. Eventually they agreed to do so and when the news of this reached the Prophet (pbuh) and his companions they were greatly troubled. Sa'd ibn Mu'adh, the leader of the tribe of Aws, was sent by the Prophet (pbuh) with two other men to find out if this were true. When they arrived in the part of Medina where the Jews lived, they found were even worse than they had previously thought. Sa'd ibn Mu'adh, whose tribe was closely allied with the Bani Quraydhah, tried to persuade their leader not to break the treaty with the Muslims, but he refused to listen. This meant that the Muslims could not relax their guard for one moment, for they were now threatened not only by the enemy beyond the trench, but by the Bani Qurayzah, within the walls of the city.
Things became more difficult for the Muslims day by day. It was extremely cold and food began to run out. To make matters worse, the Bani Qurayzah began openly and actively to join forces with the other Jews and cut off all supplies to the Muslims, including food. The enemies of Islam then planned how to capture Medina.
The situation looked desperate and the Prophet (pbuh) prayed to Allah to help the Muslims defeat their enemies. That very night a sandstorm blew up which buried the tents of Quraysh. The storm continued for three days and three nights making it impossible for the enemy to light a fire to cook a meal or warm themselves by.
On one of these dark nights the Prophet (pbuh) asked one of his men, Hudhayfah ibn al-Yaman, to go on a dangerous mission. The Prophet (pbuh) told him to make his way across the trench to the enemy camp where he should find out what they were doing.
With much difficulty Hudhayfah crossed the trench and made his way to a circle of Quraysh warriors talking in the darkness. He sat near them, but as there was no fire, no one noticed him. He then heard Abu Sufyan's voice: 'Let us go hom!' he said. 'We have had enough. The horses and camels are dying, the tents keep blowing away, most of the equipment has been lost, and we can not cook our food. There is no reason to stay!' Shortly after hearing this Hudhayfah made his way quickly and quietly back across the trench and the next morning the Muslims rejoiced to find that what he had overheard had come true-Quraysh and their allies had gone away! The siege of Medina had ended in a great victory for Islam.
But this was not to be the end of the difficulties, for the Archangel Gabriel came to the Prophet (pbuh) and told him that he should punish the Bani Qurayzah for betraying him and the Muslims. On hearing this, the Prophet (pbuh) ordered the Muslims to march against the Bani Qurayzah as they hid in their fortress. The Muslims besieged them for twenty-five days until they finally gave in. On surrendering, they asked the Prophet (pbuh) to let someone judge their case, and he agreed. He also allowed them to choose who would give the ruling.
The man chosen to judge the Bani Qurayzah was Sa'd ibn Mu'adh, leader of the Aws, a tribe which had always protected Bani Qurayzah in the past. Sa'd ibn Mu'adh who had himself been wounded in the battle, decided that the Jews should be tried by their own Holy Law, according to which anyone who broke a treaty would be put to death. As a result all the men of the Bani Qurayzah were executed and the women and children made captive.
If the Jews had succeeded in their pact, Islam would have been destroyed. Instead from that day on, Medina became a city where only Muslims lived. Very soon after peace had been restored to Medina, Sa'd ibn Mu'adh died of his wounds. It was said that the Archangel Gabriel came in the middle of that night and said to the Prophet (pbuh) 'O Muhammad, who is this dead man? When he arrived, the doors of heaven opened and the Throne of Allah shook.' The Prophet (pbuh) got up as soon as he heard this, but found that Sa'd was already dead. Although he had been a heavy man, the men who carried his body to the grave found it quite light. They were told that the angels were helping them. When he was buried, the Prophet (pbuh) said three times 'Subhan Allah!' (Glory be to Allah!), and 'Allahu Akbar!' (Allah is Most Great!). When asked why he did this, he replied, 'The grave was tight for this good man, until Allah eased it for him.' This is one of the rewards that Allah gives to martyrs and good Muslims.
Point #2:
From http://www.answering-christianity.com/satanic_verses.htm:
The LIE of the "satanic verses" fabricated against the Noble Quran! Also, what about satan's temptations to the Bible's Prophets?
The sections of this article are:
1- The Divine Claims
of the Noble Quran.
2- So what about when JESUS
WAS TEMPTED and led and taken by satan for 40 days?
Was Jesus a liar too?
- GOD Almighty
allowed for satan to tempt Jesus and cause him to suffer.
- The words Jesus spoke during satan's 40-day
temptations and control over him, were they GOD's
Inspirations,
or satan's garbage?
3- So was Jesus
truly better than Prophet Muhammad? What about Jesus' Murders
when he was a teenager, and the murders he did in the current New Testament?
- Prophet
Muhammad's Sins and seeking of Forgiveness from GOD Almighty.
- Jesus killed a boy when he was a teenager,
and he was arrogant toward animals.
- So why didn't Allah Almighty punish Prophet
Muhammad in the Noble Quran as He punished King David?
4- Also, what about Jesus'
hypocrisy of only bowing to GOD during his desperate times?
5- Conclusion.
1- The Divine Claims of the Noble Quran:
Let us look at what Allah Almighty Said in the Noble Quran:
"Never did We send an apostle or a prophet before thee, but, when he framed a desire, Satan threw some (vanity) into his desire: but God will CANCEL anything (vain) that Satan throws in, and God will confirm (and establish) His Signs: for God is full of Knowledge and Wisdom: That He may make the suggestions thrown in by Satan, but a trial for those in whose hearts is a disease and who are hardened of heart: verily the wrong-doers are in a schism far (from the Truth): And that those on whom knowledge has been bestowed may learn that the (Quran) is the Truth from thy Lord, and that they may believe therein, and their hearts may be made humbly (open) to it: for verily God is the Guide of those who believe, to the Straight Way. Those who reject Faith will not cease to be in doubt concerning (Revelation) until the Hour (of Judgment) comes suddenly upon them, or there comes to them the Penalty of a Day of Disaster. (The Noble Quran, 22:52-55)"
There are several points to notice here:
1- Satan did throw deception in the Prophets' desires in the past, which caused them to do and say things that were not inspired by GOD Almighty.
2- GOD Almighty "Cancels anything (vain) that satan throws in." Satan will never prevail, nor will he be able to overpower GOD Almighty's Divine Will.
3- The reason why GOD Almighty allowed satan to temporarily deceive some of the Prophets was to test the believers and to show them how to overcome satan and his evil.
4- Satan's temptations to Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him never survived in the Noble Quran. None of the "satanic verses" survived in the Noble Quran.
The so-called "satanic verses" come from the following dubious
unauthenticated Islamic sources:
"Have you thought of al-Lat and al-Uzza and Manat, the third ... these are the exalted Gharaniq whose intercession is approved. (Ibn Ishaq, pp. 165-166)"
"Satan ... put upon his (Muhammad's) tongue "these are the exalted Gharaniq whose intercession is approved". (Ibn Ishaq, p. 165-166)"
"When Quraysh heard that, they were delighted and greatly pleased at the way in which he spoke of their gods and they listened to him ... Then the people dispersed and Quraysh went out, delighted at what had been said about their gods, saying, "Muhammad has spoken of our gods in splendid fashion". (Ibn Ishaq, p. 166)"
"Then Gabriel came to the apostle and said , "What have you done, Muhammad? You have read to these people something I did not bring you from God and you have said what He did not say to you." (Ibn Ishaq, p. 166)"
"When the annulment of what Satan had put upon the prophet's tongue came from God, Quraysh said: "Muhammad has repented of what he said about the position of your gods with Allah, altered it and brought something else." (Ibn Ishaq, p. 166-167)"
In my article What parts of the Bible and Hadiths do Muslims believe are closest to the Truth, and Why?, I've proven with ample evidence that most of the hadiths and historic narrations, especially from the unauthenticated sources like "Ibn Ishaq" above, are corrupt and EXTREMELY DOUBTFUL.
2- So what about Jesus when he was tempted and led and taken by satan for 40 days? Was Jesus a liar too?
I've had Christians tell me that if Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him was truthful, then GOD Almighty would not have allowed him to get tempted by satan and utter "satanic verses", even if they don't exist today in the Noble Quran. They apparently are not aware of satan's temptations in the Bible:
Important Note: The following Biblical verses will prove my
Noble Quranic POINT #3 ABOVE about GOD
Almighty allowing satan to tempt His Servants and Prophets to test them.
Jesus Prayed to GOD to not lead him into temptation:
Luke 22
39 Jesus went out as usual to the Mount of Olives, and his
disciples followed him.
40 On reaching the place, he said to them, "Pray that you will not fall
into temptation."
41 He withdrew about a stone's throw beyond them, knelt down and prayed,
| Luke 11 2 He said to them, "When you pray, say: " 'Father, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come. 3 Give us each day our daily bread. 4 Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation.' " 5 Then he said to them, "Suppose one of you has a friend, and he goes to him at midnight and says, 'Friend, lend me three loaves of bread, YET, GOD ALMIGHTY DOESN'T TEMPT: James 1
|
Luke 22
45 When he rose from prayer and went
back to the disciples, he found them asleep, exhausted from sorrow.
46 "Why are you sleeping?" he asked them. "Get up and pray so
that you will not fall into temptation."
Mark 14
37 Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping.
"Simon," he said to Peter, "are you asleep? Could you not keep watch for
one hour?
38 Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The
spirit is willing, but the body is weak."
39 Once more he went away and prayed the same thing.
Yet, the evil spirit tempted Jesus for forty days, despite Jesus' Prayers:
"At once the Spirit sent him out into the desert, and he was in the desert forty days, being tempted by Satan. He was with the wild animals, and angels attended him. (From the NIV Bible, Mark 1:12-13)"
Even the Holy Spirit couldn't prevent satan from tempting Jesus:
"Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the desert, where for forty days he was tempted by the devil. He ate nothing during those days, and at the end of them he was hungry. (From the NIV Bible, Luke 4:1-2)"
Jesus SUFFERED when he was tempted by satan:
Hebrews 2
17 For this reason he had to be made like his brothers in
every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to
God, and that he might make atonement for the sins of the people.
18 Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to
help those who are being tempted.
During those 40 days that Jesus was tempted and controlled by satan in "suffering", did he utter nonsense from his mouth?
In other words, did he speak Revelations, or satan's garbage?
3- So was Jesus truly better than Prophet Muhammad? What about Jesus' Murders when he was a teenager?
Prophet Muhammad's Sins and seeking of Forgiveness from GOD Almighty:
Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him was a human being. He laughed and cried; he was serious and he joked; he sinned accidentally and intentionally. Let us look at what he said:
"The Prophet used to invoke Allah, saying, "O Allah! Forgive my mistakes and my ignorance and my exceeding the limit (boundaries) of righteousness in my deeds; and forgive whatever You know better than I. O Allah! Forgive the wrong I have done jokingly or seriously, and forgive my accidental and intentional errors, all that is present in me." (Translation of Sahih Bukhari, Invocations, Volume 8, Book 75, Number 408)"
The Prophet's Prayer in Arabic goes exactly like this: "Allahumma ighfirli khati'ati wa jahli wa israfi fi amri, wa ma anta a-'lamu bihi minni. Allahumma ighfirli hazali wa jiddi wa khata'i wa amdi, wa kullu dhalika 'indi. (Translation of Sahih Bukhari, Invocations, Volume 8, Book 75, Number 408)"
Prophet Muhammad recognizes his sins. Not only this, but Allah Almighty also Commands him and Muslims to seek Forgiveness in the Noble Quran:
"The Apostle believeth in what hath been revealed to him from his Lord, as do the men of faith. Each one (of them) believeth in God, His angels, His books, and His apostles. "We make no distinction (they say) between one and another of His apostles." And they say: "We hear, and we obey: (We seek) Thy forgiveness, our Lord, and to Thee is the end of all journeys." (The Noble Quran, 2:285)"
"But seek the forgiveness of God; for God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (The Noble Quran, 4:106)"
"If any one does evil or wrongs his own soul but afterwards seeks God's forgiveness, he will find God Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (The Noble Quran, 4:110)"
"Be ye foremost (in seeking) Forgiveness from your Lord, and a Garden (of Bliss), the width whereof is as the width of heaven and earth, prepared for those who believe in God and His apostles: that is the Grace of God, which He bestows on whom He pleases: and God is the Lord of Grace abounding. (The Noble Quran, 57:21)"
Jesus killed a boy when he was a teenager, and he was arrogant toward animals:
The Early Christians' Doctrine:
According to the Bible's Historians and Theologians in the documentary film, "Banned from the Bible", which I watched on the History Channel, there are detailed Epistles about Jesus' childhood and his mother Mary. The reason why they were banned from the "Cannon" (New Testament) is because they had so much information about Mary and Jesus, it would take too long to get to Jesus' ministry at the age of 33.
Anyway, in those Epistles, when Jesus was a teenager, he intentionally killed a little boy by throwing him off of the roof, because they had an argument. Christians believe that Jesus is the Creator of the Universe. Therefore, it is fair and right to bring everything about Jesus, even when he was a teenager.
Jesus also in the current New Testament showed a great deal of arrogance and disregard to animals, which resulted in today's Christian societies to be EXTREMELY CRUEL to animals, which explains why they have bull fights, cock fights, dog fights, and chasing small bull-calves and twisting their necks:
"He [Jesus] said to them, 'Go!' so they came out and went into the pigs, and the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and died in the water. (From the NIV Bible, Matthew 8:32)"
So why didn't Allah Almighty punish Prophet Muhammad in the Noble Quran as He punished King David?
Actually, according to the Noble Quran, Allah Almighty never punished David peace be upon him. Also, Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him did not commit any deadly sin that caused any atrocities or murders. His sins were all normal:
"(The Prophet) frowned and turned away, Because there came to him the blind man (interrupting). But what could tell thee but that perchance he might grow (in spiritual understanding)?- Or that he might receive admonition, and the teaching might profit him? As to one who regards Himself as self-sufficient, (The Noble Quran, 80:1-5)"
"O Prophet! Why holdest thou to be forbidden that which God has made lawful to thee? Thou seekest to please thy consorts. But God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (The Noble Quran, 66:1)"
As to Prophet David peace be upon him, he, like I
said, was forgiven by Allah Almighty without punishment:
"Has the Story of the Disputants reached thee? Behold, they climbed over the wall of the private chamber; When they entered the presence of David, and he was terrified of them, they said: "Fear not: we are two disputants, one of whom has wronged the other: Decide now between us with truth, and treat us not with injustice, but guide us to the even Path. "This man is my brother: He has nine and ninety ewes, and I have (but) one: Yet he says, 'commit her to my care,' and is (moreover) harsh to me in speech." (David) said: "He has undoubtedly wronged thee in demanding thy (single) ewe to be added to his (flock of) ewes: truly many are the partners (in business) who wrong each other: Not so do those who believe and work deeds of righteousness, and how few are they?" And David gathered that We had tried him: he asked forgiveness of his Lord, fell down, bowing (in prostration), and turned (to God in repentance). So We forgave him this (lapse): he enjoyed, indeed, a Near Approach to Us, and a beautiful place of (Final) Return. (The Noble Quran, 38:21-25)"
I've written detailed article about the Noble Quran's differences with the Bible at: Differences between the Noble Quran and Bible only prove Islam's Truthfulness and Divinity.
According to the Bible's own theologians, the original manuscripts
of the Bible had been lost:
From www.answering-christianity.com/contra.htm:
The original manuscripts had been lost!
"Christians readily admit, however, that there have been 'scribal errors' in the copies of the Old and New Testament. It is beyond the capability of anyone to avoid any and every slip of the pen in copying page after page from any book, sacred or secular. Yet we may be sure that the original manuscript (better known as autograph) of each book of the Bible, being directly inspired by God, was free from all error. Those originals, however, because of the early date of their inception no longer exist."
"Because we are dealing with accounts which were written thousands of years ago, we would not expect to have the originals in our possession today, as they would have disintegrated long ago. We are therefore dependent on the copies taken from copies of those originals, which were in turn continually copied out over a period of centuries. Those who did the copying were prone to making two types of scribal errors. One concerned the spelling of proper names, and the other had to do with numbers."
"Most Christians will affirm that the Bible is our rule of faith and practice. It is a little self contradictory to stand in the pulpit and say the word of God is inspired, when in his heart the pastor knows he is not referring to any book here on this earth that people can hold in their hands and believe. He really should say what he believes - that the word of God WAS inspired at one time but we no longer have it, so the best we can do is hope we have a close approximation of what God probably meant to tell us."
"It also seems a bit inconsistent to say he believes the originals were inspired, when he has never seen them, they never were together in one single book and they no longer exist anyway. How does he know they were inspired? He accepts this by faith. Yet he seems to lack the faith to actually believe that God could do exactly what He said He would do with His words. God said He would preserve them and that heaven and earth would pass away but His words would not pass away."
From www.answering-christianity.com/authors_gospels.htm:
Irrefutable contradictions, and proofs that the original authors of today's Bible are UNKNOWN!
Muslims and Christians both agree that the Noble Quran does not agree with today's Bible in everything. Just because the Bible might disagree on something in the Noble Quran, it doesn't at all negate the claim of the Noble Quran or make it false. There is a certain flow of logic that the Noble Quran presents which we the Muslims believe that it is the truth.
The Bible's contents today were not written by their original authors. For example, we read from the book of Matthew so many verses such as this one:
"...And as Jesus passed forth thence, HE (Jesus) saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and HE (Jesus) saith unto HIM (Matthew), follow ME (Jesus) and HE (Matthew) arose, and followed HIM (Jesus). (Matthew 9:9)"
Did "Matthew" write this about himself? Why then didn't Matthew write for example: "he (Jesus) saw ME, and my name is Matthew. I was sitting at the receipt of custom " etc.
Similarly, we read in the books of Moses things such as "And the LORD said to Moses...", or "Moses went to that place....", etc... We also read in the Old Testament about Moses' burial. Now if Moses alone supposedly wrote his books, then how is it possible for him to write about his own burial when he is already dead??!!
Such evidence can be found in many places throughout the Old Testament and the New Testament. The so called "Original letters/Gospels" that were written in Greek and Hebrew, were written by third party people!
Consider the following few examples that consist of historical
contradictions in the Bible:
II Samuel 10:18 talks about David slew the men of 700
chariots of the Syrians and 40,000 horsemen and Shobach the commander.
I Chronicles 1:18 says that David slew the men of 7000 chariots and 40,000 footmen
I Chronicles 9:25 says that Solomon had 4000 stalls for
horses and chariots.
I Kings 4:26 says that he had 40,000 stalls for horses
Ezra 2:5 talks about an exile Arah having 775 sons.
Nehemiah 7:10 talks about the same exile Arah having 652 sons.
II Samuel 24:13 So God came to David, and told him, and said unto
him, shall SEVEN YEARS OF FAMINE come unto thee in thy land? or will thou flee three
months before thine enemies, while they pursue. thee?
I Chronicles 21:11 SO God came to David, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Choose
thee. Either THREE YEARS OF FAMINE or three months to be destryed before thy foes, while
that the sword of thine enemies overtaketh thee;
How did Judas die?
"And he cast down the pieces of silver into the temple and departed, and went out and
hanged himself." (Matthew 27:5)
"And falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all of his bowels gushed
out." (Acts 1:18)
2 Samuel 6:23 Therefore MICHAL the daughter of Saul had no child
unto the day of her death.
2 Samuel 21:8 But the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, whom she bare
unto Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth; and the five sons of MICHAL the daughter of Saul, whom
she brought up for Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite.

reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem three months. And his mother's name was Nehushta, the
daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem.

three months and ten days in Jerusalem: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the

Also, your original scriptures are all doubtful according to the Bible's own theologians and historians. It's quite hilarious that even the Bible itself admits that it has been tampered with and corrupted by man's garbage:
"`How can you say, "We [the Jews] are wise, for we have the law of the LORD," when actually the lying pen of the scribes has handled it falsely?' (From the NIV Bible, Jeremiah 8:8)"
The Revised Standard Version makes it even clearer: "How can you say, 'We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us'?
But, behold, the false pen of the scribes has made it into a lie.
(From the RSV Bible, Jeremiah 8:8)"
And regarding who wrote the books and gospels of the Bible, as I quoted above, here is a sample of what the NIV Bible's theologians and historians wrote:
"Serious doubts exists as to whether these verses belong to the Gospel of Mark. They are absent from important early manuscripts and display certain peculiarities of vocabulary, style and theological content that are unlike the rest of Mark. His Gospel probably ended at 16:8, or its original ending has been lost. (From the NIV Bible Foot Notes, page 1528)"
"Although the author does not name himself, evidence outside the Scriptures and inferences from the book itself lead to the conclusion that the author was Luke. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 1643)"
"The writer of this letter does not identify himself, but he was obviously well known to the original recipients. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 1856)"
"The letter is difficult to date with precision....(From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 1905)"
"It seems safe to conclude that the book, at least in its early form, dates from the beginning of the monarchy. Some think that Samuel may have had a hand in shaping or compiling the materials of the book, but in fact we are unsure who the final author or editor was. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 286)"
"Although, according to tradition, Samuel wrote the book, authorship is actually uncertain. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 322)"
"The date of the composition is also unknown, but it was undoubtedly during the monarchy. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 322)"
"The author is unknown. Jewish tradition points to Samuel, but it is unlikely that he is the author because the mention of David (4:17,22) implies a later date. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 360)"
"Who the author was cannot be known with certainty since the book itself gives no indication of his identity. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 368)"
"There is little conclusive evidence as to the identity of the author of 1,2 Kings. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 459)"
"Whoever the author was, it is clear that he was familiar with the book of Deuteronomy. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 459)"
"According to ancient Jewish tradition, Ezra wrote Chronicles, Ezra and Nehemiah (see Introduction to Ezra: Literary Form and Authorship), but this cannot be established with certainty. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 569)"
"Although we do not know who wrote the book of Esther, from internal evidence it is possible to make some inferences about the author and the date of composition. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 707)"

It is quite obvious that Christians today believe in third party authors' words as the words of GOD. This is a very serious corruption in the Bible that must be taken into deep consideration by the Bible's followers.

You can not disprove Islam by presenting stories from the Bible that are not narrated the same from the Noble Quran. We Muslims believe that there are many disagreements in today's Bible, and that the Noble Quran should be the Bible that the Jews and the Christians should follow.
Allah Almighty said in the Noble Quran in Noble Verse 11:110 "We (Allah) certainly gave the Book To Moses, but differences Arose therein: had it not been That a Word had gone forth Before from thy Lord, the matter Would have been decided Between them: but they Are in suspicious doubt Concerning it."
"Previous revelations have been corrupted and deprived of their spiritual value by their followers' vain controversies and disputes. It was possible to settle such disputes under the flag, as it were, or the old Revelations, but Allah's Plan was to revive and rejuvenate His Message through Islam, amongst a newer and younger people, unhampered by the burden of age-old prejudices.
There is always in human affairs the conflict between the old and the new, the worn out system of our ancestors, and the fresh living spring of Allah's inspiration fitting in with new times and new surroundings. The advocates of the former look upon this latter not only with intellectual doubt but with moral suspicion, as did the People of the Book (Jews and Christians) upon Islam, with its fresh outlook and vigorous realistic way of looking at things."

4- Also, what about Jesus' hypocrisy of only bowing to GOD during his desperate times?
From www.answering-christianity.com/jesus_hypocrite.htm:
The Jesus of the Bible is a hypocrite:
Let us look at the following from the Bible:
"Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed....(From the NIV Bible, Matthew 16:39)"
It is really interesting that Jesus decided to bow down to Allah Almighty. This rare and not so usual practice in Christianity is something we Muslims do 5 times every single day. What Jesus did during his most desperate times in trying to glorify GOD Almighty in the best possible way he can to grab GOD Almighty's attention and to show Him that he (Jesus) is giving Him (GOD) everything he can and is brining himself in the lowest possible humility for Him, we Muslims simply do it 5 times every day without being desperate to glorify GOD Almighty.
Very Important Note: Practicing Muslims do ask GOD Almighty in Prayer when their faces are on the ground during the 5-daily prayers. I was taught that this is the best position to ask Allah Almighty in. My point is that what Jesus did during his most desperate times, we Muslims do it every single day! It seems to me that any practicing Muslim glorifies GOD far more than what Jesus in the Bible did and will ever do.
The incident of Jesus bowing to GOD Almighty in worship is often ignored by Trinitarian Christians. I am surprised that Trinitarian Christians don't even have any problem with the seriousness of this incident. Let us look at few points here:
1- When Jesus bowed down to GOD Almighty only
during his desperate times and not in any other time, this tells us that Jesus did not
worship GOD Almighty properly during his normal times, because he immediately compromised
the normal way that he taught his followers:
"But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. (From the KJV Bible, Matthew 6:5-8)"
2- Jesus did not pray in secret to GOD Almighty. He prayed in a totally different and better way. Jesus contradicted his very own commands.
3- Jesus' incident was simply telling GOD: Listen GOD, I will not sit in my room and pray to you in secret as I commanded my followers. I will do even more to you. I will bow down to you and worship you in the maximum humility, and I pray that you save me from the pain that I am about to go through. This is my extra bonus prayer to you GOD! Save me!!
Another incident that shows Jesus as a hypocrite:
Jesus did not want his followers to repeat their prayers to GOD Almighty in a short time:
"And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him. (From the KJV Bible, Matthew 6:5-8)"
So according to Jesus in Matthew 6:5-8, Christians should not ask GOD Almighty more than once about the same thing, because only the heathens (infidels) do that. Ok, let's look at what Jesus himself did when he started to pray to his GOD Almighty:
Matthew 16:36-50
36. Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called
Gethsemane, and he said to them, "Sit here while I go over there and pray."
37. He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along with him, and he began to be
sorrowful and troubled.
38. Then he said to them, "My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of
death. Stay here and keep watch with me."
39. Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, "My
Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you
will."
40. Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. "Could you men
not keep watch with me for one hour?" he asked Peter.
41. "Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is
willing, but the body is weak."
42. He went away a second time and prayed, "My Father, if it
is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, may your will be
done."
43. When he came back, he again found them sleeping, because their eyes were heavy.
44. So he left them and went away once more and prayed the third time,
saying the same thing.
45. Then he returned to the disciples and said to them, "Are you still sleeping
and resting? Look, the hour is near, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of
sinners.
46. Rise, let us go! Here comes my betrayer!"
47. While he was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived. With him was a
large crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests and the elders of the
people.
48. Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: "The one I kiss is the
man; arrest him."
49. Going at once to Jesus, Judas said, "Greetings, Rabbi!" and kissed
him.
50. Jesus replied, "Friend, do what you came for."
(From the NIV Bible, Matthew 16:36-50)
"So he left them and went away once more and
prayed the third time, saying the same thing. (From the NIV Bible, Matthew 26:44)"
How many times did Jesus pray over the same thing in such a small period of time? 3 times!!! Let us look at the following
verse:
"One of those days Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray, and spent the night praying to God. (From the NIV Bible, Luke 6:12)"
When Jesus prayed all night long in Luke 6:12, did he not repeat his prayers? His main focus was on GOD Almighty saving him from the crucifixion. Jesus' prayers all night long, which obviously were far more than just 3 times, were repetition after repetition after repetition!
Also, since we're speaking of hypocrisy here, isn't Jesus a double-faced hypocrite in
Matthew 16:46,50 for calling Judas "his betrayer", and then calling him
"friend" after that?
Was Judas really Jesus' "friend"? Isn't Jesus supposed to be the Creator of the Universe as the polytheist trinitarians claim? Then am I wrong for taking Jesus, my supposed perfect GOD, at his own words and exposing his faults?
5- Conclusion:
The lie about the Noble Quran today containing "satanic verses" is the biggest joke and lie ever fabricated about Islam. As we clearly saw above, Allah Almighty allowed for His Prophets and Servants to get tempted to test them. But satan ultimately loses with the real believers. Temptation is not a sin. Only desperate liars claim this in an attempt to discredit Islam, while leaving the great temptation fact and the suffering that Jesus had from satan.
Also, how is Jesus supposed to be the Creator of the Universe when he was tempted and controlled by satan for 40 days, while James 1:13 verse above says clearly that GOD Almighty can not be tempted by satan?
The anti-Islams also ignore the fact that the Jesus of the Bible (not Islam) was technically a hypocrite for bowing ONLY ONCE to GOD Almighty and only through his desperate times, while Muslims today bow down to GOD Almighty 5 times everyday and they are not desperate. Apparently, Jesus knew of the best way to Glorify GOD Almighty, and he only practiced it once during his desperate times. If this doesn't mean anything to you, then what else does?

Returning to
Islams death bed: Tabari IX:166 May Allah curse those who make the tombs of their prophets
places of worship, the dying man grumbled, not knowing that Jews
dont have shrines and Christians celebrate the fact that Christ doesnt have a
tomb. Yet...Bukhari:V2B23N414 The
Prophet in his fatal illness said, Allah cursed Jews and Christians because they
took their Prophets graves as places for praying.
Tabari IX:167 Muhammad waged war against the false prophets [slitting his
own wrists would have done nicely] by sending messengers with instructions to get rid of
them by artful contrivance [plot, machination, or device]. Hitler
had a word for artful contrivance.
He called it propaganda. Con men dont like competition. Even today, Islam deceives
its non-Muslim enemies using al Takeya, which means the Legal
Lie. Calling Jihad a Spiritual Struggle is a Takeya.
His rivals eliminated, the Prophet turned his attention to weightier
matters. Tabari IX:168
He turned to me, saying, Abu Muwayhibah, I have been given the keys of the
treasuries of this world. It was always about the money. While
demons provide the bookends for historys most artful contrivance,
nothing but money and blood fills the pages in between.
Knowing that the Grim Reaper was calling his name, Muhammad decided to
visit his final accommodation. Tabari IX:169 Aisha said, When the Messenger returned from the Baqi
cemetery he found me. He was suffering from a headache and crying. Alas, O my
head! He moaned, Nay, by Allah, O Aisha, rather alas, O my head!
While his pain brings me no pleasure, to know he suffered is some small consolation to the
billions he has made suffer.
Then he said, Would it
distress you if you were to die before me so that I could take care of your body, wrap you
in a shroud, pray over you, and bury you? The Hadith says that
Aisha was just eighteen years old, so she was a little young to be buried. However,
Muslims were never very good with math. Since we are in the eleventh year of the Islamic
Era and the fifty-three year old prophet married his child bride at its onset, she must
have been seven, not nine, when she was removed from the swing, plucked from childhood and
thrust into his lap. Aisha replied, It seems to
me that if you were to do that you would return to my apartment and would party with
another one of your wives. Out of the mouths of babes.
While out visiting his future quarters, the prophet revealed this
racist verse: Bukhari:V2B23N457 The Prophet went out after sunset and heard a dreadful
voice. He said, The Jews are being punished in their graves.
Bukhari:V5B59N727 When
the ailment of Allahs Apostle became aggravated, he requested his wives to permit
him to be nursed in my apartment. They gave him permission. He came out between two men
with his feet dragging on the ground.
Reverting to witchcraft: Tabari
IX:121/Bukhari:V5B59N727 The
Messengers illness intensified, the pain became fierce, so he said after entering my
apartment, Pour seven skins of water over me from different wells, and from skins
whose mouths have not been untied, so that I may give advice to the people.
Feeling guilty and dreading his own encounter with eternity, he said,
Your rights are dear to me so whomever I have flogged on his back with a whip, here
is my backlet him avenge. Whomever I have reviled, here is my honorlet him
retort
that he should absolve me from it so that I shall meet the Lord while I am
exonerated. Yes, its true. Muhammad was concerned about
meeting his Lord. Islams lone prophet was unsure of his own salvation.
Bukhari:V5B59N727 When Allahs Apostle became seriously sick, he started
covering his face with a woolen sheet. When he felt short of breath, he removed it, and
said, That is so! Allahs curse be on Jews and Christians.
I dont think he had a nice bone in his body.
Tabari IX:174 The Messengers pain became so severe he said,
Give me pen and paper so I may write a document for you so you will never go astray
after me. He knew that the Quran was rubbish and was
trying to make amends. Yet theres a time bomb lurking in Muhammads unguarded
words. His timeless document was going to be from him, not his ilah. There was no pretense
of receiving a divine revelation. His final masterpiece was going to be from his own hand.
Speaking of the Quran, guess what? Muhammad never asked or
ordered anyone to collect his surahs and write them down in a book. Not one, ever. With a
thousand obey me, pay me, and go fight for me, there
wasnt one write for me. He knew the Quran was revealed to serve
his interests and that it would be of no value to anyone once he was gone.
Recognizing that their prophet was illiterate and about to make a fool
of himself: His companions wangled over it. But it did not befit them to carry on a
dispute before a prophet. Some people said, Whats the matter with him? Is he
talking nonsense? He is delusional. [Its a shame it took them so long to
figure it out.] Others said, We must ask him for an explanation. So they went
back to him and repeated what had been said. The prophet replied, Leave me
alone.
Bukhari reports it this way: Bukhari:V5B59N716-V4B52N288
The ailment of Allahs Apostle became worse. He
said, Fetch me something so I may write something to keep you from going
astray. The people differed in this matter, and it was not right to differ before a
prophet. Some said, What is wrong with him? Do you think hes delirious?
Lets ask him. So they went to the Prophet and asked. He said, Leave me,
for my present state is better than what you question me about. Then he ordered them
to do three things. He said, Turn the pagans out of the Arabian Peninsula; give
gifts to the foreign delegations as you have seen me dealing with them.
Like I said, Muslims were never good at math.
Another Hadith reports: Tabari IX:175
Bring me a tablet, or a plank of the shoulder blade
and an inkpot, so that I can write for you a document, after which you will not go
astray. Some said, The Messenger of Allah is out of his mind.
This confirms my speculation. Muhammad was proposing a new revelation
from himself to keep his followers obedient even after his death. Bukhari:V5B59N717
When the Prophet was on his deathbed and there were
some men in the house, he said, Come near, I will write something to keep you
obedient. His Companions said, Allahs Apostle is seriously ill and we have the
Quran. Allahs Book is sufficient. So they started disputing. Some said,
Give him writing material. Others said the other way round. So when their
differences increased, Allahs Apostle said, Get out. No doubt, it was
very unfortunate and a great disaster that he was prevented from writing that writing
because of their differences and noise. It wouldnt have
made a difference because it wouldnt have been different. Muhammad was Allah, which
is why the Quran and Hadith speak with one voice.
Bukhari:V5B59N713 The Prophet in his ailment used to say, Aisha! I feel
the pain caused by the food I ate at Khaybar. My aorta is being cut from that
poison. If it were true, Muhammad would be elevated to
martyr status. Hed gain a direct pass into Allahs brothel and earn
seventy virgins rather than the regular allotment.
I dare say, Muhammad was no fun to nurse: Bukhari:V5B59N735 We poured medicine in one side of the
Prophets mouth and he started pointing to us, meaning to say, Dont pour
medicine in me. When he felt a little better, he said, Didnt I forbid
you to pour medicine in my mouth? We said, We thought it was because of the
dislike patients have for them. He said, Let everyone in the house be given
medicine by pouring it in his mouth while I am looking at him.
Blowing and cupping were both prescribed
Islamic cures and Satanic practices. The prophet preferred them. Bukhari:V6B61N536
Aisha said, Whenever the
Prophet went to bed he used to cup his hands together and blow over them, rubbing his
hands over whatever parts of his body he was able to rub. He used to do that three
times. Bukhari:V5B59N714
Whenever Allahs Apostle became ill he used to
recite the last two Surahs of the Quran and then blow his breath and pass his hands
over himself. When he had his fatal illness, I started reciting and blowing my breath over
him as he used to do. Then I rubbed the hand of the Prophet over his body.
The Quran had not yet been ordered, so I use that term loosely, so there was know
way of knowing the first surah from the last. But, should Aisha have been right, Muhammad
ended his life speaking of himself. The 114th surah says: I
seek refuge with the Lord of men, the King of men, from the evil of the whispering devil
who blows temptations into the minds of men, who suggests evil thoughts to the hearts of
menfrom among the demons and men. Its hard to imagine a
more incriminating way for a prophet, especially this one, to end his life.
Bukhari:V5B59N715 I heard the Prophet while he was lying on his back say,
O Allah! Forgive me. Even Muhammad could have been
forgiven, but not by Allah. And thats why this false prophet was in such agony. Bukhari:V5B59N731
Aisha said, Allahs
Apostle in his fatal illness, used to ask, Where will I be tomorrow? Where will I be
tomorrow?
This Hadith is as nonsensical as the rest of Islam: Bukhari:V5B59N719
I used to hear the Prophet say that no Prophet dies
until he is given the option to select either the worldly life or the life of the
Hereafter. Sorry, not all prophets are scum, and they certainly
arent this stupid. Muhammad is saying that after a lifetime of dedicating oneself to
Gods calling and to revealing his truth, prophets are asked if they want to renounce
their mission.
The first Muslims were a conniving and covetous lot. Bukhari:V5B59N728
Ali came out of the house of
Allahs Apostle during his fatal illness. The people asked, How is the health
of Muhammad this morning? Ali replied, He has recovered with the Grace of
Allah. Abbas bin Abdul Muttalib held him by the hand and said, He will
die from this ailment, for I know how the faces of the offspring of Abdul Muttalib look at
the time of their death. So let us go to him and ask who will take over the Caliphate. If
it is given to us we will know, and if it is given to somebody else, we will inform him so
that he may tell the new ruler to take care of us. Ali said, If we asked him
for the Caliphate and he denies it to us, the people will never give it to us after
that.
Loitering in the mosque, just outside the doorway to Aishas
apartment, some Muslims: Tabari IX:178 said they were afraid that he might have pleurisy. He said,
Pleurisy is from Satan and Allah would not inflict it on me.
Tabari IX:181 Before
Muhammad died, he cried, O my Lord, help me overcome the severity of the agony of
death. Bukhari:V5B59N730
Aisha said, It was one of the favors of Allah
towards me that His Apostle expired in my apartment on the day of my turn while he was
leaning on my chest and Allah made my saliva mix with his at his death. Abd-Rahman entered
upon me with a Siwak in his hand and I was supporting Muhammad against my chest. I saw the
Prophet looking at it
