Response to: ‘The satanic Verses and their Implications’ by Samuel Green

Whenever enemies of Islam pick up an issue in the Quran or Hadith to bastardize the faith, the outcome of it, is that what is criticized in Islam is found deeply rooted in their book especially the Christians. Mr. Samuel Green came up through another dimension to raise satanic verses which are not even found in the Quran or the Hadith to discredit Prophet MuhammadSAW!

Allah says: 

“Never did We send a Messenger or a Prophet before you, but when he did recite the revelation or spoke, Satan threw in it. But Allah abolishes that which Satan throws in. Then Allah establishes His revelation, and Allah is All-Knowing The Wise.”Q22: 52.

Satanic verses as alleged by the Christians is woven around Q53: 19-23 with the help of blessed history books of Islam which give detail. But out of the beauty of Islam, Quran never mentioned a single sin of any Prophet. No disparaging statement about any of them despite the pointer to their life errors in reference to Q22: 52 above. This so because Quran is a book in which no evil can be learnt - Q18: 1. Allah wants man to acquire wisdom, knowledge, morals and holiness instead of telling story from which polytheism, falsehood, and  evils can be learnt or tempted therewith. No sin of Noah, Abraham, Lot, Moses, Aaron, Solomon, David, Jesus, Muhammad(PBUT) or any other is mentioned in the Quran for that is counterproductive to spiritual growth.

But the above Q22: 52 is an uncontestable fact, which finds its fulfillment on every Prophet including Jesus- lord god of Christians. It was recorded in the Bible that, “And he (Jesus) was there in the wilderness forty days tempted of Satan…” Mark 1:13. “Then was Jesus led up of the spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the Devil” Matthew4: 1. Our question is, which spirit led Jesus to be tempted, Devil or Holy Spirit? Whichever one, it means Jesus and/or Holy Spirit has once submitted to devil spirit, that he has danced to the tune of Satan, it is significant that Jesus was dragged from city into the wilderness under Satan’s influence!

But that is even minor part. Is it not incredible that for that forty days and night Jesus spent in the cage of Satan only a few conversation of less than five minutes – three statements which was directed to Jesus’ personality alone was reported for the encounter of forty days and nights! These are: “If thou be son of God command that these stones be made bread; if thou be son of God cast yourself down; and all these kingdom of the earth I will give to you, if you will fall down and worship me” Matthew4: 3-11, all of which Jesus rejected. Is that all what took place for 40 days and nights? Or was these question and its answer been repeated by Satan and Jesus? Where the rest and what are they?

Yes! Satan do inject his influence into the words of Prophets. Prophets are but human. Their actions are righteous and motives pure. But in judging things from human perspective, the wrong suggestion which represent satanic suggestion may come to their minds as to attain their goal which may not be good. But Allah in His mercy and inspiration will cancel any false or vain suggestion of Satan. This kind of incidence is of two opposite consequence effects to humanity: to evil minds, it is humiliation and temptation from Satan but to the mind with deep rooted faith, it stands self condemned at once, and becomes a means of fortifying the faith, especially when the accuser is not free from the same allegation. It is unhealthy to deride others due to their error or weakness!

Allah did not forget to reveal the case of Christians who take such happening in the life of Prophet MuhammadSAW as satanic verse, thus: “He Allah make which Satan has injected, a trial for those in whose hearts is a disease and those whose hearts are hardened, and surely the wrong doers are gone far in error. And those to whom knowledge has been given may know that it is the truth from your Lord, so they may believe therein and their hearts may become lowly unto Him…” Q22: 53-54. That is the case of Mr. Green and his likes in their allegation of satanic verses!  

For argument sake, whether stated or not, we agree that all Prophets mentioned or not mentioned have element of ‘satanic influence’ in their messages and history. But Quran never mentioned a sin against any Prophet because it is a book where no evil can be learnt. Even our detractor Mr. Green also displayed element of Satan in him as he alleged that Q4:163 says that HarunAS(Aaron) observed idolatry by involving in the making of golden calf. But if anybody opens the Quran what we see is that HarunAS was only been reproached by MusaAS (Moses) on his weakness for such to have taken place in his presence, as he was the overseer when MusaAS was away. The real maker of the golden calf according to Quran was Samiriyu not HarunAS! -read Q20: 83-96. Mr. Green preferred the inconclusive verse of Q4: 163, for the detail of the real culprit Samiriyu in Q20: 83-96, so as to do his thing-falsehood.

But unlike the Quran, all evils can be easily learnt from biblical Prophets including Jesus. While Quran did not hold HarunAS responsible, Bible says Aaron is directly responsible for the calf, he was the master-mind and its builder of the calf- Exodus 32: 1-5. “And the Lord plagued the people because they made the calf, which Aaron made” Exodus 32: 35. Prophet Lot got drunk and had sexual intercourse with his two daughters- Genesis19: 33-35; Judah the great grandfather of Jesus had sexual intercourse with his daughter in-law Tamar, as a prostitute – Genesis 38: 15-18, yet this evil relation led to the emergent of Jesus as an offspring - Matthew 1: 3! Solomon is no exception, his song in the Bible is true trainer for all kind of sex and pornography! 

Jesus life was recorded by hundreds of followers. ‘More than eighty gospels were considered for the New Testament, and yet only a few were chosen for inclusion- Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. The fundamental irony of Christianity, the  Bible as we know it today was collated by pagan Roman Emperor Constantine the Great who was baptized into Christianity on his deathbed, too weak to protest the doing of Missionaries who forced Christianity on him at the point of death and declared him Christian just because he backed Christianity during his reign. Bible has evolved through countless translation, addition and revisions. History has never had a definitive version of the Bible’!

‘Constantine fused pagan symbols, date and rituals into the growing Christian tradition of his time, he created a kind of hybrid religion that was acceptable to both parties to the point of shifting the day of worship that is early honoured i.e. Sabbath to Sunday used to worshipped the sun by the pagans. Virtually all the elements of ideology and symbols in Christianity were taken directly from pagan mystery religions. Nothing in Christianity is said to be original! Even up to the birth day of their lord and his son-ship, his burial, his resurrection are of no different from that of Mithras of pre-Christian era’ - see Encyclopedia Britannica.

All these put Christianity at better degree over Islam in Satanism and paganism. And unfortunately for Christian apologists, some of the gospels that Church attempted to eradicate managed to survive, among which are: “The Dead Sea scrolls; The Coptic scrolls, Gnostic Gospels, Gospel of Barnabas, The Magdalene Diaries and a host of others. Christians are trying whatever possible to suppress the release of these documents that shows biblical Jesus as a great sinner and womanizer who fell for Satan’s snare better than Muhammad (S.A.W.).

Incorporating Pre-Islamic Practice: 

Citing fasting on Ashura Day, the Black stone, walks between Safa and Marwa and other Hajj rites, he alleged that: “it is consistent with Muhammad’sSAW practice of incorporating the pre-Islamic religion into Islam”. The truth is that no one ever said that the black stone is worshipped by them, though they do worship stones or soil they see. The recognition due to the black stone which is the sacred corner stone of the first house of worship ever built by the blessed hands of Ibrahim cannot be wished away at anytime or by anybody. One who is objected is to his own detriment and deprivation of the attached blessing and reward. It is an invaluable archive and treasure! Of what do those who carry the flags of their countries do with it?

What must be known is that what is done as Hajj rites of today originally originated from Ibrahim (Abraham). He was the first person to set foot in that land where he built the Kaaba and established the Hajj rites in answering Allah’s call: “And remember when We  assigned to Ibrahim the site of the house and said to him ‘associate not anything with Me, and keep My House clean for those who perform  the circuits, and those who stand up and those who bow down and prostrate. And proclaim unto mankind the Pilgrimage. They will come on foot, and on every lean camel, coming by every distant track. That they may witness its benefit for them, and may mention the name of Allah during the appointed days…”Q22: 26-29. Over some times this was hijacked and corrupted by the pagans and idolaters until Allah raised up the final Messenger to retrieve, purify and return all these Abrahamic practices, not only in Hajj but all other worships in Islam into their sanctity just as been foretold by the true Christ: “And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and righteousness and Judgment” John16: 8.

It seems Allah in His irresistible nature once dipped His Strong Hands into the Bible and forced the fact about Hajj into the mouth of the Bible writers! Consider this: “For your servants have found pleasure in her stones and to her dust they direct their favour. And the nations will fear the name of God and all the kings of the earth your glory…when people gathered together and the kingdom to serve God” Psalm 102: 14-15, 22-23. Which aspect of Christianity does this describe? The underlined are significant when you reflect to Muslims’ title, the city of Mecca and some rites of Hajj you know!

Pointing to some acts like facing Qibla, he said, ‘In three occasions Allah agreed with Umar, … many thoughts and desires of the Prophet and his companions became revelation of the Quran’. Yes! Because they have attained spiritual perfection and are of high moral quality to sense possibility of what Allah will ordinarily come to reveal later. Naturally godly people desire good, pure and decent things by their spiritual status. Inspirations fall in line with their nature and inclination. In all this, such so called desire is beyond their reasoning and not out of lust but of moral and spiritual attainment/correction. In all what is alleged as desire against the Prophet or his companions none of them can be attributed to love of wealth, post or lust, but stand as role model/judgment for subsequent similar development. In all the cases no single matter of such does any of Trinity or their mouthpiece –Paul has ever addressed. Indeed, no companion of the Prophet can be compared with any of the disciples of Jesus, no traitor like Judas or coward like Peter among hundreds of companions. They are people which their desires find approval with Allah at once. People like them are still in Islam till date, it is promise of Allah that: “Allah is the friend of those who believe, He brings them out of every darkness into light …”Q2: 257. “…These are they whose hearts Allah has inscribed true faith and whom He has strengthened with inspiration from Himself…Allah is well pleased with them and they are well pleased with Him…Q58: 22. This is one of those things we are calling you to enjoy in Islam where your desires can be met immediately by Allah with total assurance of the Blissful Garden-Al-Janat. Thus Allah’s revelations only coincide and fulfill their right and pure desires.

This of cause is of no difference in the life of Jesus and his disciples, where Peter’s desire became God’s revelation, when Jesus asked: “Whom say ye that I am? And Simon Peter said: Thou art Christ, the son of the Living God! And Jesus said: ‘Blessed art thou Simon for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto you but my father which is in heaven”-Matthew 16:15-17. Even though this one and some are written who knows the multitude which, are undisclosed according to John 21: 25.  Even God and Holy Spirit are forced to agree with apostle Paul in his eccentric nature and it became inspired words of the gospel. “For He God hath made him Christ to be sin for us who knows no sin that we might be made the righteous of God” 2nd Corinthian5: 21, or  “For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant into all. That I might gain Jews, to them that are under the law, I became as under the law, that I might gain them. To them that are without law, I became as without law that I might gain them. I am made all things to all men that I might by means save some. And I do this for the gospel’s sake…”1Corinthian9: 19-23. For gospel sake and it became gospel, Holy Spirit revelation! Or is John 1verse 1 that says: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God” statement of Jesus or that of his father?  This is just a desire of the writer- apostle John and it has become the gospel, and slogan for the Christian world. Large portion of the Bible is made up of this kind of ‘inspired words’. Thus Bible can only be said to be Jesus’ Hadith even a spurious and weak one when compared with Hadith of Prophet MuhammadSAW let alone Quran. One pastor has said, ‘when you listen to too many people you may not be able to hear the voice of God’ It seems too many people have spoken in the Bible that made it difficult to see the word of God clearly!

What is termed Muhammad’sSAW sexual privileges: 

as quoted in Q33: 51. And Muhammad taking Zaynab as wife, he says: “What began with the desire MuhammadSAW had when he saw Zaynab undressed ended with revelation from Allah annulling adoption and the giving of Zaynab to MuhammadSAW. This example and others I have given in this section, and the event of the Satanic verses, convince me that MuhammadSAW prophesied from his own desire and this is why I do not accept him as a Prophet.” For his decision Allah has this for him and his like:  “The Day when the wrongdoer will bite his hands, he will say ‘O would that I had taken the same way with the Messenger! Ah woe is me! Would that I had never taken such a one for friend! He had led me astray from the Reminder after it had come to me.’ And Satan is man’s great deserter... and the Messenger will say, ‘O my Lord, my people indeed treated this Quran as a discarded thing. Thus did We make for every Prophet an enemy from among the sinners; and sufficient is your Lord as a Guide and Helper” Q25: 27-31. Without an iota of doubt, every enemy of our Prophet, all his rejecters stand to bite their hands in the hereafter. Wait and see, a short while they will leave this world all their evils and doubts will collapse with them like their predecessors and Islam will still remain behind!

Thanks to Allah for making Islamic history available. All what the life of MuhammadSAW is all about is of no secrete in Islam no apocryphal book and all what people can say about it has been written by those with animosities for the faith, yet without them superior to Muslims  explanation. But while books of Islamic history are intact that of Christianity are kept in secrecy, most have been destroyed, yet the few that are found in the Bible shows that Christians lord – Jesus cannot be absolved of the allegation leveled against MuhammadSAW of Islam.

With micro number of people who accepted Jesus during his time and with minimal authority he ruled over the small number of believers what we read about sexual activities is scaring as we read “Jesus said: ‘you disciples gave me no kiss but this woman since the time I came in hath not cease to kiss my feet” Luke 7: 37-48. Lord-Jesus was enjoying the romance and he did not want it to stop. If this Jesus should found himself in authority equal to that of Prophet MuhammadSAW, and rule over macro population and work load of the same magnitude like the Prophet, there is no doubt that he will be consumed with sex escapade. But then that marathon kissing was recorded in the Bible, who knows to what extent he went and what other sexual activities are not recorded against him to cover up his claim of divinity after all it is written that, ‘Many other things did Jesus that is not written…’ - John 21: 25. We strongly believe his sex escapade is among those not written. We all know what David the great grandfather of Jesus did with Bathsheba and his flock of concubines, how then do we except Jesus to do contrary when the saying is that children of today are leaders of tomorrows. This make one arrived that Jesus led his father- David in such sexual scandals when I consider his longing in Luke 7: 37-48.

No wonder why Churches are now plagued with sexual scandals. They certainly have license by the act of their lord and many of the discovered books such as: The Coptic scrolls, Gnostic Gospels, The Magdalene Diaries and a host of others testify to this! Christians are trying whatever possible to suppress the release of these documents that shows biblical Jesus as a great sinner and womanizer who fell for Satan’s snare better than MuhammadSAW. For example, ‘the role of Mary Magdalene in her secret affair with biblical Jesus is a great headache to the Church whom they tried to defame or smear in mud. Her presence and role at the last supper was significant, and her usual pairing with Jesus is implicating and embarrassing to Christians’. 

It is consistent with abrogation: 

Citing Hadith on Q4: 95, Q2: 187 and Q16: 101, Mr. Green said ‘the Hadith also record several occasions where verses of the Quran were modified, added to or deleted… this modification and deleting of verses also makes me doubt that MuhammadSAW was genuine  Prophet. Why would God need to modify, change or delete his word?’ He queried!

In this case, that of Quran is simple and he will doubt as we also doubt that Jesus was a genuine god with the following. If God  ‘altered’ and ‘edited’ His own saying through His Prophet and it remains the same thousand years after the demise of His Prophet, that is indeed a thing of joy and testimony of his infallible. What is tagged alteration and edition in the Quran indeed has logic towards training and teaching people a way of attaining piety and shunning evil. But in Christianity this alteration, edition and modification is baseless and of corruption and mostly done by men - the Christians themselves. Bible cannot be compared to the Quran in this case.

Consider the following abrogation: ‘Jesus warned his disciples not to preach to any tribe outside his Jewish people –Matthew10: 5-6, later he was reported to have said: ‘Go to all nation and preach and baptize them in the name of Trinity’ Matthew 28: 19. -focus confusion! One time ‘he promised Simon Peter to be the foundation of his message –Matthew 16: 18 but later the same ‘Jesus changed his mind by choosing Paul in place of Peter-Act9: 3-8. – selection problem! Throughout the Old Testament in the Bible God is Lord and he boast of not ready to share his glory with anybody, but the same God is found to have swallowed his claim as Jesus takes over the lordship and shares the glory of his Father in the New Testament- God transformed! Dozens of ‘God’s Law which Jesus declared not to come and destroy-Matthew 5:17 were ultimately destroyed by Holy Spirit trough the mouthpiece of Trinity, Paul – Galatians 3: 11-13-conflict of gods! Another abrogation: “For God sent not His son into the world to condemn the world…” John 3: 17, but Jesus was caught condemning and calling his people all sorts of names- John 8: 44. Why would Trinity need to modify, change or delete his word?

Satan produced a surah like it: 

He writes: “Satanic verses casts doubt over the miraculous claim that Quran is incomparable, for in this event MuhammadSAW spoke words from Satan but everyone thought these verses were part of the Quran for the believers were holding that what their Prophet brought from their Lord was true, not suspecting a mistake or a vain desire or slip. Thus the Islamic sources record that Satan produced verses which sounded like those of the Quran.”

We say yes! But our question is where is the verse in the Quran? He himself testified to it that: ‘the event of satanic verses is an example of this, although in this case it did not work!’ The fact that it did not work or failed is a proof of Quran Miracle and truth of Allah’s promise in Q15: 9 that: “We Ourself have sent down this Exhortation, and most surely We will be its Guardian”. It is evidence that Quran is truly pure and purged of all unholy and corrupt words of Satan.

When we say the Prophet does not speak of his own desire we mean of what is established for people to follow and which is contained in the book of revelation. It cannot be deception by others, or words from selfish motives, it comes from Allah, and in establishing that Allah does not shy or hesitate to correct any slight error or deviation in his servants, and that is why satanic verse is not found in the Quran-testified to by Q15: 9 above. The words Muhammad was alleged to have injected are: “These are the exalted Gharaniq whose intercession is approved!”-These became their satanic verse, yet could not be found in the Quran.

In the Quran there are about 14 different places where Muslims prostrate when they reach those verses in their recitation. And like Q53 most of these verses have words commanding prostration. For example Q96: 19 reads “Fall prostrate and draw near to Allah”; Q84: 21 reads “And when the Quran is recited to them they fall not prostrate”; Q53: 62 says “So fall you down in prostration to Allah and worship Him”; Q38: 24 says “…And he fell down prostrate and turn to Allah in repentance”; Q32: 15 reads “ Only those who believe in Our signs  who when they are reminded of them, fall down prostrate and glorify the praises of their Lord and they are not proud”. So not only in the recitation of chapter 53 of the Quran did the pagans, the jinn and Muslims , Jews and others who accepted Islam prostrated with the Prophet but in many instances even the first chapter that was revealed Q96: 19 above. So before ‘the Prophet spoke pleasantly in splendid fashion of their gods’, at all in the alleged Q53, people who accepted Islam have been prostrating with him.

But while satanic words failed to stand in the Quran, it has vast room in the Bible. It rules conveniently in the Book and nothing to separate it from true God’s words or the need. Indeed like Satan, Christians are manufacturers of satanic verses. They’ve manufactured at different time different satanic verses that they tried to input into the Quran at one time or the other but without success like that of their leader. Meanwhile they do it with all convenience into the Bible.   

When Allah put the challenge: “If you are in doubt as to what We have sent down to Our servant, then produce a Chapter like it and call upon your helpers beside  Allah, If you are truthful”Q2: 23. It means not just to produce your satanic verse but call to your aid the god that will make it stand successful and acceptable to all as the true verses of the Quran, that is why there can never be anything like the Quran.

The whole New Testament can be said to be engineered by Satan. After uncompleted work of Satan on Jesus, he found Paul extra-ordinarily useful for his project on Jesus Mission. Right away from inception, the submission of Paul about his encounter with Jesus is biblically controversial: Act 9: 3-8 Vs Act 22: 8-9. Yes! He saw a light but it was the satanic light! Bible tell us that Satan also appear as angel of light -2nd Corinthians11: 14. Upon this, he created his own style of Christianity under evil inspiration: “For if the truth of God hath more abundance through my lie unto his glory, why then am I also judged as a sinner?”Roman 3: 7. Other disciples notice this Satanism in him. We are told that: “They (other disciples) were all afraid of him and believed not that he was a disciple” Act 9: 26! Yet with this suspicion and Satanism in Paul, ‘of the twenty-seven books of the New Testament, no fewer than fourteen are attributed to Paul…He is the most important single author of the New Testament. Paul’s influence on Christian theology has been incalculable’. Did he not confess: “But be it so, I did not burden you (with law) nevertheless being crafty, I caught you with guile” 2Corinthians 12: 16. Add this to the Satan’s interjection with Jesus life for forty days and nights and the undisclosed ones according to John 21:25, we are bold to say if Satan produced a verse  like the holy verses of the Quran and was detected and removed from the Quran during the same period, then that is a miracle, proof of its holiness and kudos that call for celebration as a degree over the bible which is a composite of Satanic verses, blasphemy, and corruption from the time of its occurrence till date.   

MuhammadSAW committed serious sin? He writes: “Accepting idolatry and polytheism is sin and for a short period of time, while he was claiming to be a Prophet, MuhammadSAW did this. It is true that Muhammad confessed and repented, this is to his credit, but this event still shows a great failure in his life. This event must not be ignored because it is inconvenient, for it shows that MuhammadSAW was like you and me; he had to confess his sin and ask for forgiveness!”

The soul with deep rooted rancor will never forgive despite the credit seen in him. Mr. Green has arrived at one good fact of Islam, and that is ‘MuhammadSAW is just a man like himself not a jinn, son of god, lord, superman or god like Jesus, yet with better record than Jesus! Allah say: “Say (O Muhammad) I am a man like you. But it has been revealed to me that your God is One. So whoever hopes for the meeting with his Lord, let him work righteousness and associate none as partner in the worship of his Lord” Q18: 110.

Whether Christians like it or not, forgive him or not, this man –Prophet MuhammadSAW has been forgiven by Al-Gafur, Al-Affuw (The Great Forgiver, The Effacer of sins)-Allah.  His zealousness to entice his people to monotheism – Q48: 1-3. We don’t know or care whether Trinity forgives Paul of polytheism, falsehood and deceit introduced into the Bible path being trod by all Christian till date. Prophet MuhammadSAW being an ordinary man, he is of greater benefit to man like himself without excluding Christians. His mission is to demonstrate to mankind how ordinary man like him can lead a saved life and he succeeded. He is a guide and light for man in all worldly endeavors and spiritual growth. Allah says: “O Prophet, truly We have sent you as a witness, and a bearer of glad tidings, and a Warner. And as a Summoner unto Allah by His command and as a Lamp that gives light”Q33: 45-46. But while, MuhammadSAW out of curiosity for his people to lead them to the truth of Allah tried to tantalize with sweet words on their idol which he later repented and found forgiveness of his Lord (Q48: 1-3), which never repeated in his life and which is what every man in the world today stands to benefit from in man-God relationship.

But both the Prophets and biblical God sinned without remorse/repentance: ‘Noah got drunk and lay naked’-Genesis 9: 21; ‘Saul stripped off his cloth and lay naked’-1Samuel: 19:24, “And the Lord said, like as my servant Isaiah hath walked naked and bare foot three years as sign…” Isaiah 20: 3. ‘David a Prophet and great grandfather of Jesus committed adultery with Bathsheba and wickedly killed the husband’ 2 Samuel 11:4-25. All this Satan’s interjections in the life of biblical Prophets from which, hundred faithful have learnt the same which greet the headlines. The father of Jesus himself is not free from Satan’s influence. We are told that Prophet Jeremiah lamented: “O Lord, thou has deceived me and I was deceived. Thou are stronger than I (in deceiving), and has prevailed” Jeremiah 20:7.

Like father like son, Jesus himself has the DNA of his earthly and heavenly fathers, he was suspected of his deceiving and satanic acts: “…And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him Jesus… for some said, he was a good man, other said he deceives the people” John 7: 12. See also John 8: 48 - response to devilish utterance received from Jesus in verse 44. Does the statement, “Think not that I am come to send peace on earth, I come not to send peace but a sword. I come to set a man at variance against his father, and daughter against her mother…”Matthew 10: 34-35 made by Jesus sound godly or angelic? Yet this are minor satanic input in Jesus’ mouth, the major one are hidden under John21:25 and the fact that Jesus confessed that he is not good either as a man or god–Mark10: 18, is a strong evidence that he committed serious sins like that of MuhammadSAW and to some large extent Satan has significant influence on him to confirm the uncontestable truth of Q22: 52.

The Prophet like Moses: 

Mr. Green, after finding no way to dispute the prophecy of Deuteronomy 18: 18 which confirms Prophet MuhammadSAW as the target of the verse, came up with ridiculous interpretation under satanic verse saying: ‘Islamic leaders often refer to Deuteronomy 18: 18 as evidence that MuhammadSAW is predicted in the Bible…when Deuteronomy 18: 20 is considered in the light of the Satanic verse it is clear that MuhammadSAW is not a Prophet like Moses, for MuhammadSAW did two things that this verse says a true Prophet must not do: 1) he presented to speak something that God had not commanded him to say. 2) MohammadSAW spoke in the name of other gods when he spoke the words of Satan and said the false gods were true”. Our question is if not MuhammadSAW, who then is the Prophet of the prophecy in Deuteronomy 18: 18? Who is ‘that Prophet’– the third in question posed to John the Baptize in John1: 19-23? Is it Jesus or Paul or John? We want to know!

Christians are desperate like Paul who said: “Not withstanding, by every mean whether in pretence or truth Christ is preached…” Philippians 1: 18-19. Not knowing to them that biblical Jesus has the mind of polytheism! Bible says some Pharisees went to Jesus to ask him: “Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?” and Jesus answered saying “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s and to God the things that are God’s” Mark12:13-17. This is an indication of polytheism, a statement of idolatry! What is that things that are Caesar’s that do not belong to God? So, if Caesar demands them to worship him they should do so! Many such serious ones are concede under John 21:25. The fact that Jesus confess is not good is also an indication of his involvement in what was alleged against MuhammadSAW, but while MuhammadSAW repented his sin lord Jesus did not, and that is the degree MuhammadSAW has over unrepentant adamant son of god! In Islam Caesar and his things are Allah’s. Nobody owes anything on his own! Quran says: “…Surely to Allah we belong and to Him shall we return” Q2: 156.

Meanwhile as Mr. Green took us a step over the popular Deuteronomy 18: 18 to verse 20 to establish his falsehood, so also I will take him a step further to verse 21and 22 to refute his lies and establish the truth. The verses say: “If you say in your heart, how shall we know the word which the Lord has spoken? When a Prophet speaks in the name of the Lord, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord has not spoken, the Prophet hath spoken it presumptuously, thou shall not afraid of him!” Now all the predictions spoken by Prophet MuhammadSAW have come to pass and are fulfilled even on the alleged satanic verse and the ones on Christians! Quran says: “We Ourself have sent down this exhortation and most surely We will be its guidance” Q15: 9. Mr. Green himself said that ‘the attempt of MuhammadSAW to input satanic verse in the Quran failed’! We read: “You Muslims shall surely be tried on your possessions and in your persons and you shall surely hear many hurtful things from those who were given the Books before you (Christians and Jews) and from those who set up equal to God, but if you show fortitude and act righteously that is indeed a matter of strong determination” Q3: 186.  Can any Christians deny this? Are you not persecuting and frustrating Muslims in every mean of life? Again, Quran says: “Say, if the abode of the hereafter with God is solely for you (Christians and Jews) to the exclusion of others people, then wish for death, if you are truthful! But never shall they wish for it because of what their hands have sent before” Q2: 94-95. Does this again not prove truthful on Christians? Can you as a Christian wish for death now, despite your claim of ownership of the paradise? 

These are little samples of the saying of the Prophet that find fulfillment in the life of Christians. Hundreds of it on phenomenon and mankind as found in the Quran and Hadith are there and analyzed in many Islamic literatures. But lord-Jesus prophecy that his “disciples shall not have gone over the cities of Israel before he come back from heaven” Matthew 10: 23. This did not find a slight fulfillment as his disciples had not only gone through cities of Israel but all around the world without his return! Again ‘the signs of a true Christians as defined by Jesus’ in Mark 16: 17-18, have been tested around the globe but failed to find its fulfillment in the followers of Jesus! “Love your enemies, do good to them, which hate you. Bless them that curse you and pray for them which despitefully use you” Luke 6: 27-28 which Jesus prescribed for his followers stands unfulfilled by himself, not exhibited by him once in the Bible let alone his aggressive followers who have turned to oppressors in the world especially of the Muslims. So many Jesus’ saying has proved to be empty prophecy. Thus, both Deuteronomy 18: 18 & 22 overwhelm verse 20 as insignificant excuse to debunk the prophet hood of MuhammadSAW on what he did, not for selfish reason but of curiosity for his people which, he had even repented upon! 

Incantation: With reference to Hadith from Muslim book 26, No 5457, Mr. Green said: ‘incantation were part of the pre Islamic religion. MuhammadSAW allowed this to continue as long as the incantations were transformed to be Islamic’. We say yes! And Jesus also did greater things! He made a vile concoction/charm with incantation to open blind eyes! “He Jesus spat on the ground and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay and said unto him, ‘go wash in the pool of Siloam…” John 9: 6-7. What is the meaning of all this? It seems father did not respond to his son, so he used alternative medicine-satanic act and words to heal his patient! Many of these are still hidden under lack of space-John 21: 25!

Jesus and MuhammadSAW:

To compare life of MuhammadSAW which, is well documented by dozens of books without edition with that of Jesus without true history is a ruse and injustice when consider the pointers in the Bible. For example we read: “If I bear witness of myself my witness is not true”-John5: 31(KJV) Vs “If I testify on my own behalf what I say is not to be accepted as real proof” (GNB). Or Paul’s confession “What then not withstanding every way, whether in pretence or in truth, Christ is preached  and I therein rejoice, for I know that this pretence shall turn to my salvation” Philippians 1: 18-19. This is clear indication of unreliability of the biblical narrations! Paul and Christians have edited Christ and the faith to what they want him to be and not what he really was.

Thus the saying “if we want to know what type of man MuhammadSAW was we should read the history of his life and not edit the history to make him into the man we want him to be”– is a judgment only applicable to MuhammadSAW in Islam as we have a complete raw history books of him but grossly inapplicable to Christ in Christianity where Jesus is presented in a way that suit the taste of Christians and all historical books about who true Christ of history are labeled apocryphal books by the Christians.

Comparing MuhammadSAW and Jesus in their encounter with Satan, it seems MuhammadSAW a man is better off god-Jesus in that he repented of his wrong assumption and he was forgiven, but Jesus did not repent his secret evil, falsehood and satanic influence in his life which made him submit that ‘he was not good’-Mark 10: 18. His prayer “…deliver us from evil”-Matthew 6:13 is  definitely an indication of more Satan interjection in his life than the few conversation with Satan for forty days recorded, but hid under no space to write it. This Jesus confession and John hypocrisy in John 21: 25 made some people conclude that Bible is a false agreed upon Book!

Thus, if we want to know what type of god Jesus was, we should look critically into the biblical stories and history of his life and not edit or muddle-up the history under the summary of no space-John21: 25 to make him into the god we want him to be. The little above has proved that god-Jesus has not the least credit over man-MuhammadSAW in any way and for this reason I and many Muslims prefer weak and humbled man to weak and uncultured god! 

May Allah make the acceptance of truth easy for you!
