Muhammad: Prophets
built 234 days ago
In order for Muhammad to qualify to be the Prophet of Deuteronomy 18:18, it will become necessary for him to satisfy the unique attributes that belonged to Moses which were previously mentioned in chapter 1. The following seven categories will provide the necessary proof that not only is he to be considered ‘ineligible’ as the Prophet like Moses, but declared as a false prophet and teacher:

The name Muhammad literally means "Praiseworthy".[20][21] Within Islam, Muhammad is known as Nabi (Prophet) and Rasul (Messenger). Although the Qur'an sometimes declines to make a distinction among prophets, in Surah 33:40 it singles out Muhammad as the "Seal of the Prophets".[22] The Qur'an ... refers to Muhammad as "Ahmad" (Surah 61:6) (Arabic :أحمد), Arabic for "more praiseworthy".

"The personality of Muhammad, it is most difficult to get into the whole truth of it. Only a glimpse of it I can catch. What a dramatic succession of picturesque scenes. There is Muhammad the Prophet. There is Muhammad the Warrior; Muhammad the Businessman; Muhammad the Statesman; Muhammad the Orator; Muhammad the Reformer; Muhammad the Refuge of Orphans; Muhammad the Protector of Slaves; Muhammad the Emancipator of Women; Muhammad the Judge; Muhammad the Saint. All in all these magnificent roles, in all these departments of human activities, he is alike a hero."

This massive documentation of Muhammad is derived entirely from Arabic written sources - biographies, collections of the prophet's sayings and doings, and so on - the earliest of which date from a century and a half after his death. It attempts to shed "the full light of history" on the "real" Muhammad.

If Muhammad is responsible for receiving these contradictory revelations from God, does it not put suspicion on his veracity as a true prophet? Certainly it does. If God had got the story right through the thousands of generations from Abraham to Jesus, with each successive prophet agreeing with and verifying that which had preceded him, then why all of a sudden did God get it so wrong less then 700 years later with the prophet Muhammad?

Since Sura 30:2-4 is quite vague, accepting it as the ‘Great Prophecy of Muhammad’ could result in a serious mistake. It may be more appropriate to consider it not a prophecy at all. Therefore, since Muhammad was not a descendent of Jacob like Moses, and the Koran fails to uncover any fulfilled prophecies, he cannot be the Prophet like Moses that was prophesied in Deuteronomy 18:18.
