NON MUSLIMS: is it possible....??!?

Question

salam all
Is it possible for a liar to claim for a period of 23 years with unwavering certitude that he is a prophet like Abraham, Moses, and Jesus, that there will be no more prophets after him, and that the scripture he has been sent with will remain his lasting miracle till the end of time?

A liar will falter sometimes, perhaps with a friend, maybe with his family members, somewhere he will make a mistake. His message, delivered over two decades, will contradict itself sometimes. But what we see in reality is that the scripture he brought declares freedom from internal inconsistencies, his message remained consistent throughout his mission, and even in the midst of a battle, he proclaimed his prophethood.

His life story is preserved book open for everyone to read. Before Islam, he was well-known to his own people to be trustworthy and reliable, an honest man, a person of integrity, who did not lie.
It was due to this reason they named him “Al-Ameen”, or “The Trustworthy” He was strongly opposed to lying and warned against it. Is it possible for him to tell a consistent lie for 23 years, a lie so monstrous that it would make him a social outcast, when he was never known to have lied even once about anything? It’s simply against the psychology of liars

If we were to say that the Muhammad claimed prophethood for fame glory and status, we would see that what actually occurred was the exact opposite. Muhammad, before his claim to Prophethood, enjoyed a high status in all aspects” He was of the most noble of tribes, of the most noble of families, and was known for his truthfulness. After his claim, he became a social outcast. For 13 years in Makkah, he and his followers faced excruciating torture, which led to the death of some of his followers, ridicule, sanctioning, and excommunication from society.

There were many other ways which a person could gain fame in the society of that time, mainly from valor, and poetry. If Muhammad had made the claim that he himself authored the Quran, as will be explained later, that would have been enough for his name and poetry to be engraved in gold and hung inside the Ka’bah for eternity, people from all over the world hallowing him. Rather, he proclaimed that he was not the author of his revelationa, and that it was from the One high above, causing him to be ridiculed in his time until ours.

Answer 1

i agree, but it no use trying to persuade anyone here. most of them are narrow minded idiots.

Answer 2

The Quran and Islam contain many pagan doctrines. The Greek/Platonic immortal soul doctrine is not from the writings of the Prophets (in fact, even the Quran states that man is mortal and the way Allah would torture people forever in hell is not through an "immortal soul", but by continually giving them new skins so they could continue to burn.)

Like Christendom, it is mostly the ideas and doctrines of pre-existing pagan religions.

I do believe the Bible, but believe there are few on this earth really teaching it.
Ecclesiastes chapter 9, Ezekiel 18:4, 20, 1 Timothy 6:16, etc.

Answer 3

Let's try to answer this one on theological terms...

As you know, when devout Muslims make a carpet, the weaver deliberately makes a mistake in the pattern of each carpet he creates. This is his way of showing that Man is not perfect. Only G-d is perfect.

You claim in your post that the person was completely free of inconsistency. How is that possible? The holy book Quoran draws a sharp line between G-d and Man. Every Prophet (even Jesus, in Muslim theolgy) was a Man, not G-d.

Since The Prophet (PBUH, as you say) was a Man, then he was FALLIBLE, and could never be perfectly consistent.

The carpet of his life has a dropped stitch... somewhere.

and what would Hitler and Stalins story be? I want to rule the world(them personally)....Mohammed never made such a claim....he only fought to spread the word of Islam and wanted no earthly reward for himself....he died barely owning anything even though riches were offered to him time and again but he refused them.

if the Quran was written by Mohammed for Mohammed dont you think he would have mentioned himself a little more in there....meanwhile moses is the most mentioned prophet and then Jesus. Even Jesus mother is mentioned but Mohammed's family is not even mentioned once.

even Mohammeds worst enemies when challenged could not find fault with is character or moral behavoir. when asked they stated that even though they themselves had a reason to fight with him it was because of his insistence on spreading Islam which did away with the religions their forefathers practiced but they said they could not call him a liar cause they had never found reason to believe he was lying

Answer 5

You yourself said Mohamid was and Elethis and in the upper crust of those before islam!
How can he say after He was ill-litterate and could not write for himself?
Only through an Angel(Satan) could he write the koran?

Answer 6

Sorry, this argument won't hold water. It's like saying Hitler or Stalin should be taken at their word, because they stuck to their story.

Try again, you're doing better than some apologists around here who rely on "It's true because this book says it's true, and the book says that it's right about everything."

Tell us what your Prophet said that inspired great artwork, great acts of charity and compassion. Cite an equivalent to the Cathedral at Notre Dame, or someone like Mother Theresa who devoted their life to helping poor & starving people because of the example set in the Koran.

"It's true because he didn't change his story?" Nope, don't see that working for me.

Answer 7

if you do believe that your prophet is not a liar, your belief is for you it will save you.
and why do you want to demand the people to believe like you in your beliefs.
but first you have to find out abour your prophet, it's your salvation.

Answer 8

Same thing would be said about Joseph Smith by Mormons. You are biased because you are blinded... nuff said.

Answer 9

Answer 11

Yes, it is possible. I won't call anyone a liar. But it's possible that he was wrong. It's also possible that the other prophets you mention was also wrong.
