Question: Why do people claim Mohammed to be the Greatest Prophet when he did no Miracles?
- He was illiterate
- He tried committing suicide several times
- He couldn't do any Miracles to authenticate his prophethood
The Injeel reports that Isa never sinned. His own disciples made this claim in I Peter 2:22 when the Apostle said that Isa "committed no sin, nor was any deceit found in His mouth." Isa Himself made the same claim in John 8:46, "Which one of you convicts me of sin?"
How can Isa be only a prophet if He never sinned? All men sin. The Quran, Hadith, and Injeel agree on this point. Even Mohammed. made mistakes. Isa made none.
Mohammed. is said to be a greater prophet than Isa, yet He performed no miracles. Even prophets before Isa performed miracles -- Moses, Samuel, Elijah, Isaiah, etc. Why is Mohammed. greater than all these if he performed no miracles to attest to who he was?
It might be interesting to note: Jesus is mentioned in the Quran 97 times, Mohammed is mentioned in the Quran 25 times. Jesus is mentioned more. Interesting.
While the hadiths give numerous miracles Mohammed did, including splitting the moon, these are all bogus, because Sura 17:90-93 says Mohammed did no miracles, except giving the Qur’an. Do you think that the hadiths that contradict the Qur’an are fake?
Mohammed needed forgiveness for his sin (or frailty) in Sura 40:55 and 48:1-2. Now people do not need forgiveness for physical frailties, but moral ones. Sahih Muslim 1:1695 says Mohammed prayed, "I wronged myself and make a confession of my sin. Forgive all my sins,…" Specific things(2) were burning out their eyes, and making them thirst as they died after their arms and legs were amputated. Do you agree these were evil sins?
Mohammed never produced miracles even when challenged to do so (3:181-4).
Quran - Miracle Of God?
A) Unique Literary Style – haphazard arrangement, grammatical mistakes
B) Mohammed's Illiteracy – translation of ‘illiterate’ prophet could be gentile
C) Perfect Preservation – variation exist even after 7th century Uthmanic recension
D) Prophecies – Roman victory over Persia could be disputed.
E) Unity – abrogation, no chronological or thematic order
F) Scientific Accuracy – scientific claims are a stretch, we do not start out as a blood clot
G) Changed Lives – by force!
