How can a man like this ever be called evil?

Question

i am talking about prophet Mohammed (pbuh),, these are some of the things he had or things he used to do

His blanket had several patches

He had very few spare clothes, but he kept them spotlessy clean

Even when he had become the virtual king of Arabia, he lived an austere life bordering on privation. His wife Ayesha says that there was hardly a day in his life when he had two square meals.

if as some people claim that he was an evil man, wouldn't he have lived the best of life,, with thousands of servants, best of cloth, best of food, gold and silver everywhere... but NO, he lived a simple life, he did not occupy himself with worldy things...

Once some of his disciples, noticing the imprint of his mattress on his body, wished to give him a softer bed, but he politely declined the offer saying, "What have I to do with worldly things. My connection with the world is like that of a traveler resting for a while underneath the shade of a tree and then moving on."

i wonder where all these misconceptions and lies written in the answers came from.. it makes me sad to see so many think they now it all..

Answer 1

Khaliiiiid,
The prophet s.a.w. was and still is , used to be called EVIL ,
MOST OF THEM are idol's believers, similar to the Quraisy during his(s.a.w) time.

So, as long as there are people who believe in and worship Idols and believe & worship a co-equal to THE ONLY ONE GOD, labelling Muhammad s.a.w. as evil , is nothing new.
He(s.a.w.) accepted this fact as long as he(s.a.w.) and the followers were/are not harmed and attacked physically, let them be. Q :109.

BTW:
I know you are muslim, I am too, but it is nice to look at the description of TAO, mention in the wisdom of Lao Tze. I find it's so similar , maybe this is why he did say "seek knowledge as far as China".
Wassalamu'alaykum wr wb.

Answer 2

Mohammed was likely satanically possessed. I know this will anger some people and some may even think I am insane for suggesting such a thing, but Mohammed's ideas centered around "killing those who do not believe in Allah". At the least, he was someone with a severe case of delusions of grandeur (essentially just an ordinary 'crazy' person). He was not a genuine prophet in any way. No real prophet would advocate senseless mass violence.

Answer 3

He (pbuh) was the best of men.


In response to Guitar Freak 101 and others ...
He did not lead away from the teachings of Jesus.
He confirmed the teachings of Jesus, Moses and all the earlier Prophets saying "GOD is One and Only, The Creator The Sustainer"

Answer 4

The Beatles "Sargent Pepper"'s Album was supposed to have Crowley's picture with the montage in the background. Only they couldn't get permission in time. Hardly sounds like Hitler and Stalin to me. Suppose some say the Beatles were evil also.... .

Answer 5

A THOUSAND STARS FOR YOU, BROTHER!!!! This is the TRUE Mohammad (Peace and Blessings of Allah Subha'ana Wa Ta'alla forever be upon him). Since the evil Crusades, christianity has expended much energy on defaming Allah's (subha'ana wa ta'ala) Prophet (Peace and Blessings of Allah Subha'ana Wa Ta'alla forever be upon him). But the truth of Islam and its prophet WILL BE KNOWN!!

Answer 6

Because just picking one set of actions that might be considered commendable does not mean that all of that person's actions are commendable. It is the logical fallacy of composition.

Answer 7

How old was Khadija when he married her? Nine?

How is that if he was such a humble person, he attempted to conquer all of Arabia and amassed such riches? What was the purpose of his raids on caravans?

Why did he force conversion at the tip of the sword?

Why, if the Koran is perfect, do the statements of Mohammed contradict themselves? First he states that Moslems are to be friends to the Jews and Christians, then he starts calling for their death and slavery.

Prove that any mention of Mohammed has been removed from the Bible.

I suggest that you actually do a critical study of your holy book, do an unbiased study of history, then use your brain instead of listening to men.

Answer 8

I am a Christian and I have never heard of Mohammed being called evil. I have faith in knowing that Jesus and Mohammed are brothers in Paradise.

Answer 9

He is the greatest and most perfect man ever created. He is also mentioned in the Bible but the monks of the time changed those verses not to lose their positions.

What's being done is a Media Screenplay to prevent people from being muslims. Because if they don't do it, most people in the world will come and accept Islam and some people (first the Jewish bosses) will lose things.

That's why.

PS: To a question above. He didn't sleep with young girls. His first wife was 40 years old and he got married after 35. If he cared he could do it earlier as well.

Answer 10

He isn't evil, sure. But I don't think asceticism in regards to such small, insignificant things does a sufficient job of proving that he is good.
