If Muhammad was fake??

Question

If Muhammad was fake, then why did he turn down the big offer from his tribe to put him as their leader and make him one of their wealthiest for compromising some of his Divine Message?

If Muhammad was fake, then why did he put himself in the agony of not only praying five times a day (which is mandatory for all Muslims), but also prayed more prayers (which we call it Sunni praying)? If he was fake, then he wouldn't go to this EXTREME to do such a thing EVERY SINGLE DAY OF HIS LIFE during his ministry?

If Muhammad was fake, then why did he put himself in the agony of fasting the entire month of what we call "Ramadan"? Not eating nor drinking from sun rise to sun set (approximately 12-14 hours) EVERYDAY FOR 30 DAYS is extremely difficult for a fake person to do!

If Muhammad was fake, then why did he forgive all of his enemies (especially the ones who raped many Muslim women) when he finally got them to surrender when he liberated the city of Mecca?

If Muhammad was fake, then

Answer 1

Im with you Brother

............and if Muhammed was fake then how is it that over a billion people globally praise an salute him. This number is growing all the time even amongst the highly educated and intellectual.

The most commonly used name in the world is Mohammed.

God is one and Mohammed is his messenger.


JEDIKNIGHT - just a friendly advice - many wont read your answer (even asker ) . Lets face it - its toooooooo long.

Answer 2

Actually he DID make compromises by assimilating the tradition of the "hajj", which was a HUGE money maker for the owners of the idol market (Kabba). Fortunes are still made by the big-shots of Mecca in the form of tourist $$$

As far as praying 5 times per day, that number was much much higher, and Mohammad apparently begged God to reduce the number of prayers not once, not twice, but three times...at Moses's request (if you believe that story)

And the 30 day fast is just an adopted tradition which was already practiced by Christians and Jews alike for HUNDREDS of years before Mohammad was born. Don't forget that Mohammad was married to a woman with a strong Christian (although heretical) background. He was very familiar with his wife's faith and it's traditions.

There's nothing remarkable about what Mohammad did. He was simply playing the role of prophet in an effort to convince as many people as possible that he was an extra special chosen messenger of God. Orphans often have delusions of grandeur to compensate for their lack of self-identity

Answer 3

Who ever said that Muhammed was fake? He was a real person who undoubtedly created the Koran. Most of the Koran is a good book and helps Muslims: however, the portion on Jihad is an abomonation and should be stricken from the book. No holy book should contain instructions on how to kill fellow human beings, infidels or not. Although Muhammed killed many people in his day he was a gentle man who loved children (so it has been said). He wasn't a fake.

Answer 4

Well said Brother. No Muhammad was not a fake but unfortunately many people here refuse to accept that.

Answer 5

Muhammad's faith may not have been fake. No one said he was insincere. He was just wrong. And now his eternal agony is exponentially worse than his earthly one.

Answer 6

Friend, you need to get the story straight, We as Christians did not say that Mohhamed was fake, we say he was a false prophet, We never did say that he did not exist, so let's get the record straight, Now you said only few things about him, why not say all things about him, are you afraid that you will expose him & yourselve.

Answer 7

If Muhammad was fake, then was he a scientific genius??? Because of all scientific stuff in Quran...

I guess not...

Answer 8

if Mohammad was fake
no Koran existed
no message of Haram and Halal
no message of pure Jihad that tells me if somebody
hurt you give them understanding and love them as your
brother or sister and dont think to hurt them that can cause
life.

Answer 9

For the same reason that muslims blow themselves and innocents up today. Irrationality. He did not bear the "fruit" of a true prophet. True fruit is to bear witness of Jesus Christ. Mohammed was one of the false prophets that Jesus said would be coming after Him. Jesus arose from the dead and is still alive. Mohammad died, and is still dead. That shows which one was truly from God......theBerean

Answer 10

everyone that writes their own book embellishes to make them selves look good...

and not eating or drinking for someone that did not exist would be EASY...
