Evidence Muhammad was Demon Possessed

By Keith Thompson

Biblical standards confirm Muhammad was a satanic false prophet

Six-hundred years before Muhammad was born, Jesus and his apostles warned of future false prophets and deceivers who would do things Muhammad did. In Matthew 7:15-16 Jesus says, “‘Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits’” (Matthew 7:15-16).

In Galatians 1:8-9 the apostle Paul warned of fallen angels masquerading as real angels deceiving people to reject the Gospel message (i.e., Jesus’ death for sins and resurrection; cf. 1 Corinthians 15:1-3). This is precisely what took place when Muhammad got deceived to deny the gospel by a being claiming to be the angel Gabriel. The text says, “But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed” (Galatians 1:8-9).

Also, the apostle John warned of those, like Muhammad, who would deny Jesus is the divine Son of God and that God the Father is the Father: “. . .This is the antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son” (1 John 2:22). One of Muhammad’s key teachings was Jesus was not the Son of God and that God is not a spiritual or metaphorical Father to anyone (Koran 5:18; 9:30; 19:35).

Moreover, the same apostle also warned of those who, like Muhammad, would come and deny the incarnation of Jesus and thus His deity: “For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh. Such a one is the deceiver and the antichrist” (2 John 1:7).

Therefore, according to the Bible Muhammad was a false prophet from Satan. But what about the early Islamic sources? Do they provide us with material showing Muhammad was a satanic false prophet?

Muhammad’s foster-mother

Muhammad’s foster-mother thought Muhammad was demon possessed when he was young after two beings threw him to the ground. The 8^th century Muslim biographer Ibn Isaq reports a story told by Muhammad’s foster-mother Halima:

“. . . he and his brother were with our lambs behind the tents when his brother came running and said to us, ‘Two men clothed in white have seized that Qurayshi brother of mine and thrown him down and opened up his belly, and are stirring him up.’ We ran towards him and found him standing up with a livid face. We took hold of him and asked him what was the matter. He said, ‘Two men with white raiment came and threw me down and opened up my belly and searched therein for I know not what,’ so we took him back to our tent. His father said to me, ‘I am afraid that this child has had a stroke, so take him back to his family before the result appears.’ So we picked him up and took him to his mother who asked why we had brought him when I had been anxious for his welfare and desirous of keeping him with me. . . . . When she asked if I feared a demon possessed him, I replied that I did” (Ibn Ishaq, The Life of the Prophet Muhammad, [Oxford University Press, 2014], pp. 71-72).

This episode is also attested to in The History of al-Tabari, Vol. 6, p. 63 and Koran 94:1. This shows Muhammad’s foster-mother was convinced Muhammad was demon possessed during this episode.

Moreover, the fact these beings threw Muhammad to the ground is consistent with what the Bible says demons do to people.  Luke 9:42 says, “While he was coming, the demon threw him to the ground and convulsed him. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit and healed the boy, and gave him back to his father” (Luke 9:42).

Muhammad’s first alleged revelational experience was demonic

This episode seems like something one might see in a supernatural horror movie as opposed to what one would expect out of an experience with the true Angel Gabriel. In Sahih Bukhari we read about this early encounter in the cave of Hira between Muhammad and this being:

“The Prophet added, ‘The angel caught me (forcefully) and pressed me so hard that I could not bear it any more. He then released me and again asked me to read and I replied, ‘I do not know how to read.’ Thereupon he caught me again and pressed me a second time till I could not bear it any more. He then released me and again asked me to read but again I replied, ‘I do not know how to read (or what shall I read)?’ Thereupon he caught me for the third time and pressed me, and then released me and said, ‘Read in the name of your Lord, who has created (all that exists) has created man from a clot. Read! And your Lord is the Most Generous (96.1, 96.2, 96.3) . . . .’” (Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 1, Number 3).

Another early report says here Muhammad was being strangled so hard he felt like he was going to die (Ibn Ishaq, The Life of the Prophet Muhammad, [Oxford University Press, 2014], p. 106).

This is not how the true Gabriel treats God’s prophets and people. In Luke 1:11-19 Gabriel appeared to Zechariah which frightened Zechariah. However, immediately Gabriel comforted him and told him not to be frightened since God’s blessing was coming to him with the birth of John the Baptist. There was no strangling or abuse. Moreover, in Luke 1:26-31 Gabriel appeared to Mary and she became frightened. However, Gabriel immediately calmed her down and told her not be afraid since she has found favor with God and was to give birth to the divine Son of God, Jesus Christ. Again, there is no strangling or torture here.

Thus, what appeared to Muhammad was not Gabriel but some sort of hostile being – either Satan or a demon.

Muhammad believed he was demon possessed and wanted to kill himself

The 9th century Islamic historian and exegete al-Tabari notes the following: “The pre-Islamic Arabs believed in the demon of poetry, and they thought that a great poet was directly inspired by demons” (TheHistory of al-Tabari, Vol. 9, [State University of New York     Press, 1990], p. 167 note 1151). The Koran itself mentions some examples of people who suspected that Muhammad was under such demonic inspiration. Koran 44:14 says, “Yet they turn away from him and say: ‘Tutored (by others), a man possessed!’” (Koran 44:14, Yusuf Ali). Also Koran 37:36 says, “And say: ‘What! shall we give up our gods for the sake of a Poet possessed?’” (Koran 37:36, Yusuf Ali).

Now, in the early Muslim literature – namely al-Tabari and Ibn Ishaq – we find Muhammad believed he was one of these demon possessed poets after his experience with Gabriel in the cave of Hira, so much so that he wanted to commit suicide:

“… I recited it, and then he desisted and departed I woke up, and it was as though these words had been written on my heart. There was no one of God’s creation more hateful to me than a POET or a madman; I could not bear to look at either of them. I said to myself, “Your humble servant (meaning himself) is either a POET or a madman, but Quraysh shall never say this of me. I shall take myself to a mountain crag, hurl myself down from it, kill myself, and find relief in that way” (The History of al-Tabari, Vol. 6, [State University of New York Press, 1988], p. 71).

You find a similar account in Ibn Ishaq’s Life of Muhammad: “Now none of God’s creatures was more hateful to me than an [ecstatic] poet or a man possessed: I could not even look at them. I thought, “Woe is me poet or possessed…” (Ibn Ishaq, The Life of Muhammad,, [Oxford University Press, 2014], p. 106).

Muhammad was so distraught and convinced his encounters with spirit beings were nefarious that he wanted to end his own life! In the Bible there is not one instance of a true prophet or apostle being concerned they were demon possessed or controlled by Satan in going forth with their divine mission from God. This is unique to Muhammad because he was demon possessed.

Waraqah’s initial concern

Initially Muhammad’s wife’s cousin Waraqah correctly believed Muhammad was demon possessed. After Muhammad’s wife Khadija explained to Waraqah what was happening with Muhammad after his first encounter with the being who would come to be seen as Gabriel, Waraqah had a very interesting perspective:

“Waraqah expressed surprise and said Jibreel came only to Prophets, the best of creatures, so, he wished to meet the Prophet. He said that sometimes the devil deceives people pretending to be Jibreel and then he to whom the devil goes turns  mad” (Ibn Kathir, The Life of Prophet Muhammad, [Darul – Ishaat Karachi, 2010], p. 130).

Waraqah was correct about devils or Satan appearing as an angel of light to deceive people much like what happened many years later to the false prophet of Mormonism Joseph Smith when he was approached by a being who claimed to be the angel Moroni. The Biblical reference of warning can be found in 2 Corinthians 11:14: “And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.” That is what occurred with Muhammad.

Muhammad’s revelations were actually possessions

During his alleged revelations Muhammad would hear ringing in his ears and sweat profusely (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 1, Number 2), turn red and breath heavily (Sahih Muslim, 2656, Abdul Siddiqi Translation, Vol. 2, p. 700; Ibn Kathir, The Life of Prophet Muhammad, [Darul – Ishaat Karachi, 2010], p. 126), be choked (Sahih Bukhari, Vol. 1, Book 1, Hadith 3), move his lips quickly (Sahih Bukhari, Vol. 1, Book 1, Hadith 4), hear voices thinking trees and rocks were speaking to him (The History of al-Tabari, Vol. 6, [State University of New York Press, 1988], p. 63), fall to his knees with trembling shoulders (The History of al-Tabari, Vol. 6, [State University of New York Press, 1988], p. 68), feel dread and terror (The History of al-Tabari, Vol. 6, [State University of New York Press, 1988], p. 68), have a racing heart with swollen veins on his shoulders and neck (Ibn Kathir, The Life of Prophet Muhammad, [Darul – Ishaat Karachi, 2010], p. 123),  and have a severe fever (Ibn Kathir, The Life of Prophet Muhammad, [Darul – Ishaat Karachi, 2010], p. 126).

Muhammad’s condition is inconsistent with what is documented about the experiences of previous prophets who received revelation from God. Such things are never said to accompany their revelational experiences. Instead Muhammad exhibited features which are actually consistent with what the Bible describes as demonic possession.

In an essay the Muslim apologist Bassam Zawadi, in regards to this data, admitted, “. . . these are the symptoms of one who usually gets possessed by Satan. . .” (Bassam Zawadi, Rebuttal to Sam Shamoun’s Article ‘Examining Some More Evidence for Muhammad Being Deceived’). Although Zawadi claims Muhammad was not demon-possessed, he did in fact admit that all these symptoms are common with those who are demonically possessed.

The satanic verses

Muhammad admittedly included verses from Satan as part of the Koran and then retracted them.Originally Surah 53 of the Koran included what are known as the infamous “satanic verses.” These verses say three pagan goddesses named al-Lat, al-Uzza and Manat exist and are valid intercessors who are exalted. According to al-Tabari the reason Muhammad delivered these verses was because he was eager for the welfare of his former pagan tribe the Quraysh and wanted unity with them. So, after becoming a Muslim, he acquiesced to their paganism and delivered verses from the devil acknowledging their false pagan gods (The History of al-Tabari, Vol. 6, [State University of New York Press, 1988], pp. 107-108).

After criticism and retracting these satanic verses, Koran 22:52 was then created by Muhammad to give an excuse as to why he delivered verses from Satan:  “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” (Koran 22:52, Yusuf Ali). In other words, after Muhammad retracted the verses the devil put on his tongue, he claimed Allah said all prophets speak satanic revelations by mistake – so it is normal. Islamic commentators who agree Koran 22:52 refers to the satanic verses episode include: Tafsir al-Jalalayn, Al-Wahidi, Zamakhshari, and others.

Many early Islamic religious sources affirm this satanic verses episode occurred in history (e.g. The History of al-Tabari, Vol. 6, [State University of New York Press, 1988], pp. 107-108; Ibn Isaq, Life of Muhammad, [Oxford University Press, 2014], pp. 165–166; Sahih Bukhari, Vol. 6, Book 60, Hadith 385; Koran 17:73-75; 22:52).

According to Deuteronomy 18:20 Muhammad was a demonic false prophet because of this episode: “But the prophet who speaks a word presumptuously in My name which I have not commanded him to speak, or which he speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet shall die” (Deuteronomy 18:20). Moreover, if Muhammad could not tell the difference between a revelation from the devil and one from God, why should he be trusted as a reliable prophet?

Muhammad and black magic

Muhammad was the victim of black magic. At a period during his so-called prophetic career, Muhammad was under the satanic influence of bewitchment or witchcraft. The scholar Alfred Guillaume cites an Islamic tradition which says Muhammad was under the control of this black magic for a whole year (Ibn Isaq, The Life of Muhammad,, [Oxford University Press, 2014], p. 240 n. 1).

In Sahih Al-Bukhari this bewitchment is explained:

“Narrated ‘Aisha: A man called Labid bin al-A’sam from the tribe of Bani Zaraiq worked magic on Allah’s Apostle till Allah’s Apostle started imagining that he had done a thing that he had not really done. . . (Sahih Al-Bukhari: Volume 7, Book 71, Number 658).

And:

“Narrated Aisha: Magic was worked on Allah’s Apostle so that he used to think that he had sexual relations with his wives while he actually had not. . .” (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Volume 7, Book 71, Number 660).

 Black magic is a satanic art and Muhammad was under its control. He imagined things and believed untruths such as having sex with his wives. If this could be done to Muhammad, one has to wonder what else he imagined and what other untruths he believed during his “prophetic” career.

That Muhammad was bewitched is attested in many sahih ahadith (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 54, Number 490; Volume 7, Book 71, Number 658; Volume 7, Book 71, Number 660; Volume 7, Book 71, Number 661; Volume 8, Book 75, Number 400).

There is also another independent attestation of this bewitchment reported by Ibn Ishaq:

“From B. Zurayq: Labid B. A’sam who bewitched the apostle of God so that he could not come at his wives” (Ibn Isaq, The Life of Muhammad,, [Oxford University Press, 2014], p. 240).

True prophets prior to Muhammad were not bewitched by satanic people. As 2 Thessalonians 3:3 says, “the Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen and protect you from the evil one” (2 Thessalonians 3:3).

Muhammad’s death

Muhammad’s death proves he was a satanic false prophet and not of God. In Koran 69:44-46 Muhammad stated if he fabricated false teachings (i.e., invented revelations) not from God he would have his aorta cut. It says, “And if he had fabricated against Us some of the sayings, We would certainly have seized him by the right hand, Then We would certainly have cut off his aorta” (Koran 69:44-46, Shakir).

Well it just so happens that the Muslim sources tell us Muhammad was poisoned by a Jewish person and then reported that it caused him to feel as if his aorta was being cut:

“Ibn ‘Abbas replied, ‘That indicated the death of Allah’s Apostle which Allah informed him of.’ ‘Umar said, ‘I do not understand of it except what you understand.’ Narrated ‘Aisha: The Prophet in his ailment in which he died, used to say, ‘O ‘Aisha! I still feel the pain caused by the food I ate at Khaibar, and at this time, I feel as if my aorta is being cut from that poison” (Sahih Bukhari, Volume 5, Book 59, Number 713).

This is also repeated in the hadith of Sunan Abu Dawud:

“. . . The Apostle of Allah . . . . He then said about the pain of which he died: I continued to feel pain from the morsel which I had eaten at Khaybar. This is the time when it has cut off my aorta” (Sunan Abu Dawud, 4498, Ahmad Hasan Translation, Vol. 3, p. 1264).

This is a clear sign from the true God that Muhammad was a false prophet.

Muslims claim Jesus was under Satan’s control

In response Muslims claim the Bible teaches Jesus couldn’t decide weather to follow Satan or not for 40 days and that he had evil desires during this time of temptation in the dessert. Because their prophet was clearly under the control of Satan, this is what they resort to claiming in response.

They appeal to Matthew 4:1 which says, “Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil” (Matthew 4:1). Then they connect that verse with James 1:13-14 which says, “Let no one say when he is tempted, ‘I am being tempted by God,’ for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one. But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire” (James 1:13-14).

However, the word tempt has two meanings. It can mean to “successfully tempt” or “try to tempt.” If I go up to someone and try to get them to do something, I would be “tempting” them. It does not matter if they actually had the desire to do it or not. So yes, when people are successfully tempted they are lured and enticed by their own desires as James 1:4 says. But Jesus was not tempted in that sense.He was tempted in the other sense.

In context James is clearly teaching God cannot be successfully tempted or succumb to temptation with evil. This doesn’t mean, however, that it’s impossible for people to try to tempt God (which can also be called “tempting” him). Many have tried to do so like in Psalms 106:13-15 (and the same Greek word for “tempt” (i.e., peirazō) used in Matthew 4:1 and James 1:13-14 is used in the LXX version of this Psalm). This is the case with Jesus too. Satan tried to tempt Jesus (which can also be called “tempted”) just like people tried to tempt God in Psalms 106:13-15. Yet, Jesus was never successfully tempted with evil.

We know this because Jesus did not succumb to Satan’s proposals. Everything Jesus said to the devil in Matthew 4:1-11 after being offered certain things by him was a rejection or rebuke. For example, after such satanic proposals, Jesus said “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God” (v. 4), “You shall not put the Lord your God to the test” (v. 7), “Be gone, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God and him only shall you serve’” (v. 10). This also refutes the argument that since James 1:13 teaches God is never successfully tempted that therefore Jesus couldn’t be God since he was tempted. This is again because Jesus was never successfully tempted. He was tempted in the other sense.

Paul was possessed?

Another response by Muslims is to falsely claim Apostle Paul was possessed. They say Paul went to the ground on the road to Damascus after seeing a vision of Jesus and that this is similar to what Muhammad experienced. Therefore, they say, Paul must have been possessed too.

However, if one reads the accounts of this in Acts 9:3-8; 22:6-10; and 26:12-18 we see, unlike Muhammad and the demon-possessed boy in Luke 9:42, Paul was not physically forced to the ground by spiritual beings who threw him. Instead, because of the radiance of the light that was brighter than the sun, Paul went to the ground himself being temporarily blinded. Also, nowhere did anyone accuse Paul of being possessed because of this incident as Muhammad and the boy in Luke 9:42 were accused. In fact, right from onset, after the event, just the opposite was stated. We have attestation from credible Christian witnesses like Ananias who was told by Jesus himself to confirm to Paul that he had indeed seen the Lord and was to be an instrument of God to the Gentiles (Acts 9:10-18). We also have the evidence of the apostles themselves giving Paul their right hand of fellowship after the event confirming that Paul’s experience was of God (Galatians 2:9; Ignatius, Letter to the Romans, Ch. 4; Polycarp, Epistle to the Philippians, Ch. 3).

Source of Muhammad’s Inspiration – Divine or Demonic?

According to the Islamic traditions, Muhammad would tremble, foam at the mouth and snore or moan like a camel or a newborn calf, whenever he received the so-called revelations:

“Narrated Safwan bin Ya’la bin Umaiya from his father who said: ‘A man came to the Prophet while he was at Ji’rana. The man was wearing a cloak which had traces of Khaluq or Sufra (a kind of perfume). The man asked (the Prophet), “What do you order me to perform in my ‘Umra?” So, Allah inspired the Prophet divinely and he was screened by a place of cloth. I wished to see the Prophet being divinely inspired. ‘Umar said to me, “Come! Will you be pleased to look at the Prophet while Allah is inspiring him?” I replied in the affirmative. ‘Umar lifted one corner of the cloth and I looked at the Prophet who was snoring. (The sub-narrator thought that he said: The snoring was like that of a camel). When that state was over, the Prophet asked, “Where is the questioner who asked about ‘Umra? Put off your cloak and wash away the traces of Khaluq from your body and clean the Sufra (yellow color) and perform in your Umra what you perform in your Hajj (i.e. the Tawaf round the Ka’ba and the Sa’i between Safa and Marwa).”’” (Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume 3, Book 27, Number 17 http://searchtruth.com/book_display.php?book=27&translator=1&start=0&number=17)

Another thing to learn

Ibn Sa’d related that A’ishah said: “Whenever the Prophet received Inspiration (al-wahy), his head would twitch, HE WOULD FOAM AT THE SIDES OF HIS MOUTH, he would feel cold in his incisors, and he would break into a sweat until it flowed down like pearls.” (Imam Jalal-al-Din ‘Abd al-Rahman al-Suyuti, The Perfect Guide to the Sciences of the Qur’an: Al-Itqan fi ‘Ulum Al-Qur’an (Great Books of Islamic Civilization), translated by Professor Hamid Algar, Dr. Michael Schub and Mr. Ayman Abdel Haleem, reviewed by Professor Osman S. A. Isma’il al-Bili [Garnet Publishing Limited, UK 2011], Volume 1, p. 104; capital and underline emphasis ours)

In the sahih collection of Muslim, there is an account by Hammam b. Yahya, from ‘Ata’, from Ya‘la b. Umayya, who is quoted as saying that,

“‘Umar said to me, ‘Would you like to look at the Messenger of God while revelation is coming to him?’ He raised the edge of his robe from his face while he was receiving revelation at al-Ji‘rana, and he was all flushed. And he would moan like a newborn calf.” (Ibn Kathir, The Life of the Prophet Muhammad (Al-Sira al-Nabawiyya), translated by Professor Trevor Le Gassick, Reviewed by Dr. Ahmed Fareed [Garnet Publishing Limited, UK, First Paperback Edition: 2000], Volume 1, p. 307; bold and italic emphasis ours)

We are further told that the buzzing of bees could be heard around his face:

“Imam Ahmad stated that ‘Abd al-Razzaq related to him, quoting Yunus b. Salim, who said that Yunus b. Yazid dictated to him, from Ibn Shihab, from ‘Urwa b. ‘Abd al-Rahman b. ‘Abd al-Qart who said, ‘I heard ‘Umar b. al-Khattab say, “When revelation came down to the Messenger of God, it would be heard like the buzzing of a bee near his face.”’” (Ibid., p. 306)

Perspiration the size of pearls would fall down from Muhammad’s forehead, even if it were cold out. He would also hear the ringing of bells that caused intense pain:

“Narrated ‘Aisha (the mother of the faithful believers): Al-Harith bin Hisham asked Allah’s Apostle, ‘O Allah’s Apostle! How is the Divine Inspiration revealed to you?’ Allah’s Apostle replied, ‘Sometimes it is (revealed) like the ringing of a bell, this form of Inspiration is the hardest of all and then this state passes off after I have grasped what is inspired. Sometimes the Angel comes in the form of a man and talks to me and I grasp whatever he says.’ ‘Aisha added: Verily I saw the Prophet being inspired Divinely on a very cold day and noticed the sweat dropping from his forehead (as the Inspiration was over).” (Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 1, Number 2: http://searchtruth.com/book_display.php?book=1&translator=1&start=0&number=2)

“… So, there overtook him the same state which used to overtake him, (when he used to have, on being inspired divinely). He was sweating so much so that the drops of the sweat were dropping like pearls though it was a (cold) wintry day. When that state of Allah’s Apostle was over, he was smiling and the first word he said, ‘Aisha! Thank Allah, for Allah has declared your innocence.’ My mother told me to go to Allah’s Apostle . I replied, ‘By Allah I will not go to him and will not thank but Allah.’ So Allah revealed: “Verily! They who spread the slander are a gang among you…” (24.11). (Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume 3, Book 48, Number 829: http://searchtruth.com/book_display.php?book=48&translator=1&start=0&number=829; – see also Vol. 4, No. 438)

He would even suffer headaches and faint:

Abu Nu‘aym related, from a tradition of Qutayba that ‘Ali b. Ghurab related to him, from al-Ahwas b. Hakim, from Abu ‘Awana, from Sa‘id b. al-Musayyib, from Abu Hurayra, who said, “When revelation came down to the Messenger of God, he would get a headache and would cover his head with the henna plant.” (Ibn Kathir, The Life of the Prophet Muhammad, Vol. I, p. 308; bold and italic emphasis ours)

Abu Hurayrah narrated: “When the revelation came from Allah to the Prophet it was as if he had fainted.” (Abu Nu’aym). (As-Suyuti, Tahdhib al-khasa’is al-nabawiyyah al-kubra (“The Awesome Characteristics of the Prophet”) [Iz Publication, Istanbul 2003], p. 300; bold emphasis ours)

To top it off, Muhammad would often turn red and start to breathe heavily:

“Narrated Safwan bin Ya’la bin Umaiya: Ya’la used to say, ‘I wish I could see Allah’s apostle at the time he is being inspired Divinely.’ When the prophet was at Al-Ja’rana and was shaded by a garment hanging over him and some of his companions were with him, a man perfumed with scent came and said, ‘O Allah’s apostle! What is your opinion regarding a man who assumes Ihram and puts on a cloak after perfuming his body with scent?’ The prophet waited for a while, and then the Divine Inspiration descended upon him. ‘Umar pointed out to Ya’la, telling him to come. Ya’la came and pushed his head (underneath the screen which was covering the prophet) and behold! The prophet’s face was red and he kept on breathing heavily for a while and then he was relieved. Thereupon he said, ‘Where is the questioner who asked me about ‘Umra a while ago?’ The man was sought and then was brought before the prophet who said (to him), ‘As regards the scent which you perfumed your body with, you must wash it off thrice, and as for your cloak, you must take it off; and then perform in your ‘Umra all those things which you perform in Hajj.’” (Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume 6, Book 61, Number 508 http://searchtruth.com/book_display.php?book=61&translator=1&start=0&number=508)

Suffice it to say, no Biblical prophet ever experienced these conditions during revelation. In fact, we find spiritists, mediums, diviners and those in the occult experiencing these conditions. One such person was the pagan Socrates who claimed that his philosophy was inspired by his Daimon (demon), who was also the cause of Socrates’ seizures. It was in this condition that Socrates received the ideas for the philosophical treatise he would eventually produce, or so he claimed.

With that said, the Word of God reveals the true source of Muhammad’s condition and supposed revelations:

“Now the Spirit of the Lord departed from Saul and an evil spirit from the Lord terrified him. So the servants of Saul said to him, ‘See, an evil spirit from God troubles you. Let our lord now tell your servants, who are before you, that they might seek out a man experienced in playing the lyre. And it will come to pass, when the evil spirit from God is on you, that he will play with his hand, and you will be well.’ Saul said to his servants, ‘Find me now a man that can play well, and bring him to me.’ Then one from the servants answered, and said, ‘I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, who is experienced in playing music, a mighty man of valor, a man of battle, and skillful in words, even a man of fine appearance. And the Lord is with him.’ Therefore Saul sent messengers to Jesse, and said, ‘Send me David your son, who is with the sheep.’ Jesse took a donkey laden with bread, a bottle of wine, and a young goat and he sent them with his son David to Saul. David came to Saul, and stood before him. And Saul loved him greatly and he became his armor bearer. Saul sent to Jesse, saying, ‘Let David stand before me, for he has found favor in my sight.’ It happened that when the evil spirit from God came on Saul, David would take the lyre in his hand and play. So Saul was refreshed and was well, and the evil spirit departed from him.” 1 Samuel 16:14-23

“When He came to His other disciples, He saw a great crowd around them, and the scribes disputing with them. Immediately when all the people saw Him, they were greatly amazed, and running to Him, greeted Him. He asked the scribes, ‘What are you debating with them?’ One in the crowd answered, ‘Teacher, I brought You my son, who has a mute spirit. Wherever it takes hold on him, it dashes him to the ground. And he foams at the mouth and gnashes with his teeth and becomes rigid. And I told Your disciples so that they would cast it out, but they could not.’ He answered, ‘O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him to Me.’ So they brought the boy to Him. When he saw Him, immediately the spirit dashed him, and he fell on the ground and wallowed, foaming at the mouth. He asked his father, “How long has it been since it came to him?’ He said, ‘From childhood. Often it has thrown him into the fire and into the water to kill him. But if You can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.’ Jesus said, ‘If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.’ Immediately the father of the child cried out with tears, ‘Lord, I believe. Help my unbelief!’ When Jesus saw that the people came running together, He rebuked the foul spirit, saying to it, ‘You mute and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him, and enter him no more.’ The spirit cried out and convulsed him greatly. But it came out of him, and he was as dead, so that many said, ‘He is dead.’ But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he arose. When He had entered the house, His disciples asked Him privately, ‘Why could we not cast it out?’ He said to them, ‘This kind cannot come out except by prayer and fasting.” Mark 9:14-27

The foregoing passages indicate that the symptoms which Muhammad experienced were caused by a demon, an evil spirit, if not Satan himself. It could not have been God’s Holy Spirit or one of his righteous angels that brought upon these conditions which Muhammad underwent.

What makes this all the more interesting is that Muhammad himself believed at first that he was being tormented and possessed by a jinn (demon-spirit):

“Narrated ‘Aisha: The commencement of the Divine Inspiration to Allah’s apostle was in the form of good righteous (true) dreams in his sleep. He never had a dream but that it came true like bright day light. He used to go in seclusion (the cave of) Hira where he used to worship (Allah Alone) continuously for many (days) nights. He used to take with him the journey food for that (stay) and then come back to (his wife) Khadija to take his food likewise again for another period to stay, till suddenly the Truth descended upon him while he was in the cave of Hira. The angel came to him in it and asked him to read. The Prophet replied, ‘I do not know how to read.’ (The prophet added), ‘The angel caught me (forcefully) and pressed me so hard that I could not bear it anymore. He then released me and again asked me to read, and I replied, “I do not know how to read,” whereupon he caught me again and pressed me a second time till I could not bear it anymore. He then released me and asked me again to read, but again I replied, “I do not know how to read (or, what shall I read?).” Thereupon he caught me for the third time and pressed me and then released me and said, “Read: In the Name of your Lord, Who has created (all that exists). Has created man from a clot. Read and Your Lord is Most Generous,” up to, “that which he knew not.” (96.1-5)’

“Then Allah’s apostle returned with the Inspiration, his neck muscles twitching WITH TERROR till he entered upon Khadija and said, ‘Cover me! Cover me!’ They covered him till his fear was over and then he said, ‘O Khadija, what is wrong with me?’ Then he told her everything that had happened and said, ‘I fear that something may happen to me.’… But after a few days Waraqa died and the Divine Inspiration was also paused for a while and the prophet became so sad as we have heard that he intended SEVERAL TIMES TO THROW HIMSELF FROM THE TOPS OF HIGH MOUNTAINS and every time he went up the top of a mountain in order to throw himself down, Gabriel would appear before him and say, ‘O Muhammad! You are indeed Allah’s Apostle in truth,’ whereupon his heart would become quiet and he would calm down and would return home. And whenever the period of the coming of the inspiration used to become long, he would do as before, but when he used to reach the top of a mountain, Gabriel would appear before him and say to him what he had said before. (Ibn ‘Abbas said regarding the meaning of: ‘He it is that Cleaves the daybreak (from the darkness)’ (6.96) that Al-Asbah means the light of the sun during the day and the light of the moon at night).” (Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume 9, Book 87, Number 111: http://searchtruth.com/book_display.php?book=87&translator=1&start=0&number=111)

The very foster-mother of Muhammad, Halima, also believed he was possessed:

‘Some months after our return he and his brother were with our lambs behind the tents when his brother came running and said to us, “Two men clothed in white have seized that Qurayshi brother of mine and thrown him down and opened up his belly, and are stirring it up.” We ran towards him and found him standing up with a livid face. We took hold of him and I asked him what was the matter. He said, “Two men in white raiment came I and threw me down and opened up my belly and searched therein for I know not what.”1 So we took him back to our tent. His father said to me, “I am afraid that this child has had a stroke, so take him back to his family before the result appears.” So we picked him up and took him to his mother who asked why we had brought him when I had been anxious for his welfare and desirous of keeping him with me. I said to her, “God has let my son live so far and I have done my duty. I am afraid that ill will befall him, so I have brought him back to you as you wished.” She asked me what happened and gave me no peace until I told her. When she asked if I feared a demon possessed him, I replied that I did. She answered that no demon had any power over her son who had a great future before him, and then she told how when she was pregnant with him a light went out from her which illumined the castles of Busra in Syria, and that she had borne him with the least difficulty imaginable. When she bore him he put his hands on the ground lifting his head towards the heavens. “Leave him then and go in peace,” she said.’ (The Life of Muhammad: A Translation of Ibn Ishaq’s Sirat Rasul Allah, with introduction and notes by Alfred Guillaume [Oxford University Press, Karachi, Tenth impression 1995], pp. 71-72; bold and italic emphasis ours)

And:

The following story connected with Muhammad’s stay with Halimah is related by Abu ‘l-Fida’ (p. 64). When some time passed, Muhammad and his foster-brother went out to a distance from the house, when Halimah’s son came to his mother and said. “Two men clothed in white raiments have taken hold of the Quraish boy, and have thrown him down and have ripped open his belly.” So Halimah and her husband went to the place where the child was, but found him standing on his feet. And they said, “What has happened to thee child?” And he answered and said, “Two men came to me, and threw me down and ripped up my belly.” Then Halimah’s husband said to her, “I greatly fear that this boy has got the epilepsy.” So they took him to his mother Aminah. And Halimah said to Aminah, “I am afraid he is possessed of a devil.” But Aminah said, “What in the world can Satan have to do with my son that he should be his enemy?” (T. P. Hughes, Dictionary of Islam, p. 368 https://answeringislam.net/Books/Hughes/m.htm; bold and italic emphasis ours)

We again need to reiterate the fact that none of the biblical prophets ever thought of jumping off a cliff after receiving inspiration. Nor did Gabriel strike dread and terror into the hearts of the servants of God, but actually comforted and strengthened them:

“When I, Daniel, had seen the vision, I sought for the meaning. Then there before me stood one who had the appearance of a man. I heard a man’s voice between the banks of Ulai, which called, and said, ‘Gabriel, make this man understand the vision.’ So he came near where I stood. And when he came, I was afraid and fell upon my face; but he said to me, ‘Understand, son of man, that the vision deals with the time of the end.’ Now as he was speaking with me, I was in a deep sleep with my face toward the ground. But he touched me and set me upright.” Daniel 8:15-18

“Then an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing on the right side of the altar of incense. When Zechariah saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him. But the angel said to him, ‘Do not fear, Zechariah, for your prayer has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John. You will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth. For he will be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother’s womb. He will turn many of the sons of Israel to the Lord their God. And he will go before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.’ Zechariah said to the angel, ‘How shall I know this? For I am an old man and my wife well advanced in years.’ The angel answered him, ‘I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God. And I was sent to speak to you and to bring you this good news.’” Luke 1:11-19

“In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. And the virgin’s name was Mary. The angel came to her and said, ‘Greetings, you who are highly favored. The Lord is with you. Blessed are you among women.’ When she saw him, she was troubled by his words, and considered in her mind what kind of greeting this might be. But the angel said to her, ‘Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. Listen, you will conceive in your womb and bear a Son and shall call His name JESUS. He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest. And the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David, and He will reign over the house of Jacob forever. And of His kingdom there will be no end.’ Then Mary said to the angel, ‘How can this be, since I do not know a man?’ The angel answered her, ‘The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you. Therefore the Holy One who will be born will be called the Son of God.’” Luke 1:26-35

This is totally unlike Muhammad’s “Gabriel” who struck fear and terror into Muhammad’s heart, causing him to tremble, foam and sweat profusely.

A further indication of the occultic nature of Muhammad’s revelations is seen by the following example from al-Waqidi who wrote that, “Muhammad had such a repugnance to the form of the cross that he broke everything brought into his house with that figure upon it.” (Dictionary of Islam, p. 63 https://answeringislam.net/Books/Hughes/c.htm; bold emphasis ours)

With that in mind, it is very hard to deny that, in light of the biblical revelation, Muhammad was clearly demonized, and the source of his revelations were demonic, in fact satanic.

Revealing the God Whom Allah Worships and Prays To!

According to the Quran, Muhammad’s deity prays just like the angels and Muslims do:

They are those on whom are the prayers (salawatun) from their Lord and mercy, and it is they who are the guided-ones. S. 2:157

Those on whom are prayers from their lord and mercy, and those are the guided. (Usama Dakdok. The Generous Qur’an: An accurate, modern English translation of the Qur’an, Islam’s holiest book [Usama Dakdok Publishing, LLC], p. 74; bold and italicized emphasis mine)

He it is who prays (yusallee) for you and His angels too, to bring you forth out of the darkness into the light, for He is merciful to the believers. S. 33:43 Palmer

He is who prays on you and his angels that he may bring you forth out of the darkness into the light, and he was merciful to the believers. (Usama Dakdok, pp. 690-691; bold and italicized emphasis mine)

Verily, God and His angels pray (yusalloona) for the prophet. O ye who believe! pray for him and salute him with a salutation! S. 33:56 Palmer

Surely Allah and his angels pray on the prophet. O you who have believed, pray on him and salute, saluting. (Dakdok, p. 694; bold and italicized emphasis mine)

Islamic tradition also affirms that the Islamic god actually prays:

1387. Abu Umama reported that the Messenger of Allah said, “Allah AND His angels AND the people of the heavens AND the earth, EVEN the ants in their rocks AND the fish, PRAY for blessings on those who teach people good.” [at-Tirmidhi] (Aisha Bewley, Riyad as-Salihin (The Meadows of the Righteous), Book of Knowledge, 241. Chapter: the excellence of knowledge http://bewley.virtualave.net/riyad7.html#ilm; bold and capital emphasis ours)

2685. Abu Umamah al-Bahili narrated: “Two men were mentioned before the Messenger of Allah. One of them a worshipper, and the other a scholar. So the Messenger of Allah said: ‘The superiority of the scholar over the worshipper is like my superiority over the least of you.’ Then the Messenger of Allah said: ‘Indeed ALLAH, His Angels, the inhabitants of the heavens and the earths – even the ant in his hole, even the fish – say Salat upon the one who teaches the people to do good. (Hasan)

[Abu ‘Eisa said:] This Hadith is Hasan Gharib Sahih… (English Translation of Jami‘ At-Tirmidhi, Compiled by Imam Hafiz ‘Eisa Mohammad Ibn ‘Eisa At-Tirmidhi, From Hadith no. 2606 to 3290, translated by Abu Khaliyl (USA), ahadith edited and referenced by Hafiz Abu Tahir Zubair ‘Ali Za’i, final review by Islamic Research Section Darussalam [Darussalam Publishers & Distributors, First Edition: November 2007], Volume 5, Chapter 19.

The people of Israel said to Moses: “Does your Lord pray?” His Lord called him [saying]: “O Moses, they asked you if your Lord prays. Say [to them] ‘Yes, I do pray, and my angels [pray] upon my prophets and my messengers,’” and Allah then sent down on his messenger: “Allah and His angels pray…” (Tafsir Ibn Kathir, Q. 33:56)

Hadith 216:

The Israelites said to Musa: Does your Lord pray? Musa said: Fear Allah, O Sons of Israel! Allah said: O Musa! What did your people say? Musa said: O my Lord, You already know? They said: Does your Lord pray? Allah said: Tell them MY PRAYER for My servants is that My Mercy should precede My Anger. If it were not so, I would have destroyed them. [Ibn ‘Asakir] (Al-Ahadith Al-Qudsiyyah – Divine Narratives, translated by Dr. Abdul Khaliq Kazi & Dr. Alan B. Day, Section 2: Al-Ithafat Al-Saniyya Bi‘l-Ahadith Al-Qudsiyyah by Shaikh Zain al-Din Abdul Ra‘uf b. Taj al-‘Arifin b. ‘Ali b. Zayn al-‘Abidin al-Munawi [Dar Al Kitab Arabi – USA, 1995], pp. 305-306; capital and underline emphasis ours)

The following is taken from the Dalail-al-Khayrat Sharhi of Kara Da’ud, d. 1541:

“Then I beheld a single pearl of emerald green upon which was written this line of writing:

 LA ILAHA ILLALLAH, MUHAMMAD-UR-RASULULLAH,
ABU BAKR AS AS-SIDDIQ WA ‘UMAR AL-FARUQ 

THERE IS NO GOD BUT THE ONE TRUE GOD (AL-LAH);
MUHAMMAD IS THE MESSENGER OF ALLAH.
ABU BAKR – THE TRUTHFUL, AND ‘UMAR – THE ONE WHO DISTINGUISHES TRUTH FROM FALSEHOOD.

“The Declaration of Unity (Kalimat-at-Tawhid) is written on the base THAT SUPPORTS THE DIVINE THRONE, and upon THE LEGS OF THE THRONE ITSELF, and it is written over THE GATES OF THE SEVEN HEAVENS. Sometimes, this phrase was added: ‘I have strengthened him through Ali.’

“When I reached the Divine Throne, I witnessed great events. One drop fell from the Throne into my mouth and the sweetness of it surpassed everything I have ever tasted. When I had swallowed it, the Lord of the Universe enlightened my heart with the knowledge and wisdom of all that had gone before and was yet to come. The light from the Throne surrounded me and I was engulfed by it. I was aware of nothing but that light. When faced with this light, I perceived everything through my heart’s eye as clearly as though I were looking through my eyes. I perceived what was behind me as clearly as that, which was before me, at a level with my chest.

“After all this occurred, I came into a state when I heard absolutely nothing, not the voices of the angels, nor the sound of any other thing. This state caused me to experience great terror. Then I suddenly heard a voice that seemed to be the voice of Abu Bakr saying to me, ‘Qif, ya Muhammad, inna rabbuka YUSALLI. (Stay your step, oh Muhammad, FOR YOUR LORD IS PRAYING BLESSING.’) When I heard this voice, all the terror departed from me completely, and I began to wonder, ‘What is Abu Bakr doing here? Has he surpassed me, I wonder? And what does this mean, THE LORD IS PRAYING, the Lord Who is free from all exigence! What could be the meaning of all this?’” (Muhammad the Messenger of Islam – His Life and Prophecy, by Hajja Amina Adil, Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani, Shaykh Nazim Adil Al-Haqqani [Islamic Supreme Council of America, Washington, DC 2002], The Seventh Heaven, pp. 231-232: https://books.google.com/books?id=31tscfPF4tkC&printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&q&f=false; capital and underline emphasis ours)

Furthermore, traditional orthodox Sunni Islam teaches that the Quran is the uncreated speech/word of Allah:

35. The Qur’an is the Word of God that emanated from Him without modality in its expression. He sent it down to His messenger as a revelation. The believers accept it as such literally. They are certain it is, in reality, the Word of God, the Sublime and Exalted.

36. Unlike human speech, it is eternal and uncreated. (The Creed of Imam Al-Tahawi (Al-Aqidah al-Tahawiyyah), translated, annotated and introduced by Hamza Yusuf [Zaytuna Institute, 2007], p. 54; bold emphasis ours)

73. We do not argue about the Qur’an. Rather, we testify that it is the Word of the Lord of the universe as revealed through the Trustworthy Spirit, who taught it to the paragon of messengers, Muhammad. It is the Word of God, the Sublime and Exalted. No mortal speech compares to it, and we do not say it is created. (Ibid., p. 64; bold emphasis ours)

Moreover, the following surah is a prayer of worship and supplication:

In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. Praise be to God, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the world; Most Gracious, Most Merciful; Master of the Day of Judgment. Thee do we worship, and Thine aid we seek. Show us the straight way (al-sirata al-mustaqeema), The way of those on whom Thou hast bestowed Thy Grace, those whose (portion) is not wrath, and who go not astray. Surah al-Fatihah 1:1-7 Y. Ali

Therefore, since the Quran is supposed to be uncreated this means that this surah is an eternal prayer, one that existed even before creation came into being. As such, there must have been someone praying this in eternity. And since Allah is supposed to be the only one that existed in eternity, this implies that he must have been praying this surah.

This is not only confirmed by the fact that the hadiths plainly teach that Allah used to recite two surahs of the Quran a thousand years before creation,

Narrated AbuHurayrah:

Allah’s Messenger said, “A thousand years before creating the heavens and the Earth, Allah RECITED Ta-Ha and Ya-Sin, and when the angels HEARD the recitation they said, ‘Happy are the people to whom this comes down, happy are the minds which carry this, and happy are the tongues which utter this.”

Darimi transmitted it (Al-Tirmidhi Hadith, 660 – ALIM Online Version http://www.alim.org/library/hadith/TIR/660; bold emphasis ours)

It is also confirmed by v. 6 of this very surah, where the one praying makes the following request,

“Guide us in the right path (al-sirata al-mustaqeema),” Palmer

Shockingly, the Quran admits that Allah is actually on a straight path in the same way that Muslims are!

“I put my trust in God, My Lord and your Lord! There is not a moving creature, but He hath grasp of its fore-lock. Verily, it is my Lord that is ON A STRAIGHT PATH (inna rabbee ala siratin mustaqeemin).” S. 11:56 Y. Ali

Therefore, since it is acknowledged that Muhammad’s lord is himself on the straight path this simply confirms that it is Allah who was actually reciting surah al-Fatihah, even before creation, much like he used to recite surahs Ta-Ha and Ya-Sin.

In other words, the Islamic sources are inadvertently testifying to the fact Allah is actually praying, praising, glorifying, worshiping etc., much like Muslims do!

This brings me to my next point. I am now going to show whom it is that Allah worships and prays, especially for guidance.

According to God’s Word, Jesus Christ is the straight path to everlasting life:

“Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? Jesus saith unto him, I AM THE WAY, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” John 14:1-6

Note that our Lord is both the way and the destination, unlike Allah who is never said to be the way to salvation. Rather, as the Quran amply testifies the Islamic deity is on the straight path to being saved. Note the passage once again as I quote it in various English versions:

Pickthall: “… Lo! my Lord is on a straight path.”

Hilali-Khan: “… my Lord is on the Straight Path (the truth).”

Shakir: “… surely my Lord is on the right path.”

Khalifa: “… My Lord is on the right path.”

Arberry: “… Surely my Lord is on a straight path.”

Palmer: “… Verily, my Lord is on the right way!”

Rodwell: “… Right, truly, is the way in which my Lord goeth.”

Sale: “… Verily my Lord [proceedeth] in the right way.”

Hence, since Allah is on a straight path and prays to be guided on the straight path, and since the risen Lord is the way and destination to everlasting life, and therefore is himself that straight path, a strong case can be made that Muhammad’s lord is actually worshiping and praying to the Lord Jesus, beseeching him to guide him to himself!

To put this in a logical syllogism:

A. Allah is on a straight path and actually prays to someone to guide him on the straight path.

B. Jesus Christ testifies to being the only straight path to salvation.

C. Therefore, the Muslim deity must be praying to the risen Christ to keep guiding him on the straight path since there is no salvation apart from the Lord Jesus:

“And it came to pass on the morrow, that their rulers, and elders, and scribes, and Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high priest, were gathered together at Jerusalem. And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, By what power, or by what name, have ye done this? Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel, if we this day be examined of the good deed done to the impotent man, by what means he is made whole; be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus. And beholding the man which was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.” Acts 4:5-14

In light of the foregoing, I would advise all Muslims to follow the example of their god and pray to the Lord Jesus to guide them to everlasting life, since it is quite obvious Muhammad’s deity can’t guide anyone to the path of life when he himself prays to be guided aright.

Muslims, since you have obvious problems trusting in your deity when himself needs to be guided, isn’t therefore time for you to turn to the Lord Jesus Christ and trust him for everlasting life?
