Islam

INTRODUCTION

According to Muslim traditions, Allah wrote the Qur’an in pure Arabic in heaven on a large stone table. The angel Gabriel took the table of the Qur’an and made Muhammad recite it. His recitations were memorized or written down by others on whatever objects were on hand such as sticks, stones, bones, palm leaves, etc.. After Muhammad died, various conflicting Qur’ans were produced. It was the Caliph Uthman who made his own version of the Qur’an the official one (See Bukhari’s Hadith vol. 1, pg. 56, no. 63). He later burned all the other conflicting Qur’ans.

The Qur’an sold today is the Uthman version.

The Hadith is the record of the teachings and examples of Muhammad not found in the Qur’an and are thus authoritative for all Muslims. To deny the Hadith is to be guilty of apostasy under Islamic Law. The greatest of all Hadith scholars was Bukhari.

Muhammad believed that a fever when sick was from the heat of hell. The Prophet said, “Fever is from the heat of the [Hell] fire, so cool it with water.” (vol. 4, nos. 483-486).

Stars as Missiles
Allah created the stars as missiles to throw at the devils, according to Muhammad in vol. 4, chap. 3, p. 282. Astronomers should be interested in this doctrine of Muhammad.

CONCLUSION
If Muhammad was truly Allah’s apostle, then what he taught came from Allah and must be true. But, if what he said is so outlandish and absurd that it cannot be true, then how can he be an apostle of Allah? The logic is inescapable.
