Could i write a book and claim to be a prophet from God...?

Question

...the book would have no prophecies and no miracles whatsoever, how could i get a massive amount of people to follow my new book? how did mohammed pull it off?

Answer 1

hey, a lot of people did it.
recently too.
the dude who invented the mormon religion, and even more recently, scientology.

just do it.

Answer 2

I don't know a good answer to give you, but try asking Charles Taze Russell or Joseph Smith to help you... oh wait a minute they're not alive anymore. So I guess you shouldn't write the book anyway unless you really do feel you are a prophet of God which in that case I would like you to see a psychiatrist first because I don't think God would send any prophet into the world wearing a funny looking yellow hat like yours... but then again he does work in mysterious ways!!! LOL J/K Have a nice day! =)

Answer 3

You should claim to be a prophet first, then do something to get a lot of attention, before writing the book. You will soon forget about the followers part as long as the massive number of people are buying your book and making you rich.

Answer 4

because Muhammad peace be upon him had many prophesies and miracles that's why many people followed him and his teachings:

example of prophesy:

Professor Alfred Kroner is one of the world’s most famous geologists. Professor Korner, so it seemed to us, has a special talent of being evasive. For example, we asked him to describe the geological conditions of Arabia. ‘Was Arabia full of orchards and rivers?’ He said, During the Snow Age. And it is further known that the North Polar icebergs are slowly moving southwards. When those polar icebergs become relatively close to the Arabian Peninsula, the weather will change and Arabia will become one of the greenest and wettest parts of the world. We asked him: ‘Will Arabia become the land of orchards and rivers?’ He said: Yes, it is a scientific fact. This astonished us, and we wondered how he could state this as a scientific fact while it was related to the future and we asked: ‘Why?’ He said: Because the new Snow Age has actually started. And we can see the snow scrawling once again from the North Pole southwards. In fact, the polar snow is now on the way to get closer to the Arabian Peninsula. We can see the signs of this in the snow blizzards striking the northern parts of Europe and America every winter. Scientists have other signs and information proving the actual beginning of another Snow Age. It is a scientific fact. So we said to him: ‘What you have just mentioned has only been known to scientists after a long series of discoveries and with the help of specialized instruments.

But we have already found this mentioned by the Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) 1400 years ago. He said in a Hadith transmitted by Saheeh Muslim: “"The last Hour will not come upon us until the lands of the Arabs are once again pasture lands and filled with rivers."”

At this point we asked Professor Kroner: ‘Who told the Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam), that the lands of the Arabs were once filled with orchards and rivers?’ He immediately replied: ‘The Romans’. This reminded me of Professor Kroner’s evasive ability. We asked him another question, we said to him: ‘But who informed the Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam), that the lands of the Arabs would one again become pasturelands and be filled with rivers?’. Professor Kroner becomes evasive if embarrassed. But whenever he was faced with the truth, he is courageous enough to state his opinion frankly and thus he replied: This could have been known to him only through revelation from above.

example of miracle:

How do modern scientists explain the formation of the universe? Dr. Maurice Bucaille explains it in his book, “The Bible, the Quran and Science”, as follows: "The basic process in the formation of the universe . . . lay in the condensing of material in the primary nebula, followed by its division into fragments that originally constituted galactic masses. The latter in their turn split up into stars that provided the subproduct of the process, i.e. the planets" (p. 149).”

Does the Quran say anything about this condensing and separation of the primary material to result in the formation of our universe? Let's have a look. The creator, God, says in His final book: "Do not the unbelievers see that the heavens and the earth were fused together, then we separated them . . ." (Quran 21:30).

Dr. Bucaille sees this as "the reference to a separation process of a primary single mass whose elements were initially fused together" (p.143). Thus the Quran gives an accurate account of the formation of the universe to call upon humankind to recognize the power of their creator.

This raises an interesting question: How could a man (Muhammad) living in the seventh century invent these ideas, which could not be confirmed until modern times? And how could he in so doing avoid the mythical and fanciful ideas prevalent in human history?

Answer 5

Mohammad PBUH was a real prophet, and the holy Quran is not like any other book in the history of humanity, we know this based on very thorough and deep thinking and experience, if you open your mind and heart and search for the truth you will find it and your life will never be as it was again because you will find your self and you will understand how and why things occur according to the wisdom of God.

Answer 6

Anyone can claim to be anything and write books about nothing. I take it you have read the book by Mohammed? If not, why do you poke fun at something you obviously know nothing about? Have you no respect for anyone else that may believe something different than you? You may want to educate yourself before you let others know how little you know.

Answer 7

If I create a e book and declare that's a religious e book from God... will human beings believe a prophet wrote it? no they gained't If i did, human beings would call me loopy on the present time, although, because the time passes, does no longer human beings take it as a faith and picture of me as a prophet? no they does no longer Can this theory be utilized to proper this second's non secular books? no the bible is god's holy be conscious because god tells us it really is not someone merely making a declare

Answer 8

No, you can't claim when you yourself know the truth. Don't mess with God. Better to read the given prophecies in the Bible and do some study and see how much true the Bible has spoken well of these days.

Answer 9

Just do what every other charlatan does - lie, cheat, steal blackmail people, buy people off, force people to believe or you'll kill them, torture them, tell them their religion is evil and they will burn in hell for it.
Come on, man! Follow the formula! Just do what Moses, Jesus, Mohammed, Joseph Smith and L. Ron Hubbard did. If that doesn't work sue the hell out of anyone who dares to interfere with your 'religious' beliefs.

Answer 10

I wouldn't... to get people to follow your leadjust speak the truth. I think some of us really need that. I have no clue how mohammed pulled it off.

Answer 11

Sure you can but you would be a false prophet like joe smith is and so many many others. And where God said the false prophet ends up is not where anyone wants to be.
