In Deuteronomy 18:20 we read
"But the prophet, which shall presume to
speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak,
or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet
shall die."
Muhammad (pbuh) spoke not just a single word, but
dictated a whole book in God's name. For twenty three years he
spoke exclusively in the name of God Almighty. He was given one
hundred and fourteen chapters, all of which were, and are to this
day, recited day after day in God's name. Chapters in the Qur'an
begin with the words "In the name of God, the Gracious,
the Merciful." Yet he did not die, but lived to
fulfill his message completely. He himself even narrated in the
name of God a similar verse in the Qur'an: "And if he (Muhammad) had invented false sayings in Our (God's) name, We would have taken him by the right, then We would have severed from him his aorta, and there is none among you who could have held Us off from him"
The noble Qur'an, al-Haaqah(69):46
(Remember that the plural form of this verse is the
Arabic plural of respect, not the Christian
plural of "Trinity," as seen in chapter
14). If the claims of some are true: That Muhammad (pbuh) was
an impostor, then did God go to sleep for twenty three years?
Of course not! He knew full well what Muhammad (pbuh) was claiming.
If he was not telling the truth, why did God not kill him?
Why did he allow him to perpetrate a lie that would span fourteen
centuries, and eventually come to cover the globe?
