Muhammad: Islam’s Human Idol
Table of Contents
In this post, I will summarize the data from the Quran which proves that Allah and Muhammad are virtually one and the same entity. This is seen from the fact that whatever affects Muhammad also affects Allah in the same way, and why they both have the same reaction to the things which others do to Muhammad.
For starters, we are told in the Quran that Allah promises whatever Muhammad promises:
And when the hypocrites, and those in whose hearts is a disease, were saying: Allah AND His messenger promised us naught but delusion. S. 33:12
And when the true believers saw the clans, they said: This is that which Allah AND His messenger promised us. Allah AND His messenger are true. It did but confirm them in their faith and resignation. S. 33:22
Moreover, obeying Muhammad is the exact same thing as obeying his god since there is no difference between the two:
He will adjust your works for you and will forgive you your sins. Whosoever obeyeth Allah AND His messenger, he verily hath gained a signal victory. S. 33:71
He who obeys the Messenger (Muhammad), has indeed obeyed Allah, but he who turns away, then we have not sent you (O Muhammad) as a watcher over them. S. 4:80 Hilali-Khan
Furthermore, the Muslim scripture emphasizes the point that true believers are those who do not desire anything more than Allah and Muhammad, and who fully submit to Allah and Muhammad by never questioning what Allah and Muhammad have decreed/decided upon. This explains why Allah favors those whom Muhammad himself favors, such as Zaid whose wife Muhammad was commanded to marry:
O Prophet! Say unto thy wives: If ye desire the world's life and its adornment, come! I will content you and will release you with a fair release. But if ye desire Allah AND His messenger and the abode of the Hereafter, then lo! Allah hath prepared for the good among you an immense reward. O ye wives of the Prophet! Whosoever of you committeth manifest lewdness, the punishment for her will be doubled, and that is easy for Allah. And whosoever of you is submissive (yaqnut) unto Allah AND His messenger and doeth right, We shall give her her reward twice over, and We have prepared for her a rich provision.
O ye wives of the Prophet! Ye are not like any other women. If ye keep your duty (to Allah), then be not soft of speech, lest he in whose heart is a disease aspire (to you), but utter customary speech. And stay in your houses. Bedizen not yourselves with the bedizenment of the Time of Ignorance. Be regular in prayer, and pay the poor-due, and obey Allah AND His messenger. Allah's wish is but to remove uncleanness far from you, O Folk of the Household, and cleanse you with a thorough cleansing. And bear in mind that which is recited in your houses of the revelations of Allah and wisdom. Lo! Allah is Subtile, Aware.
Lo! men who surrender unto Allah, and women who surrender, and men who believe and women who believe, and men who obey and women who obey (wa’alqaniteena wa’alqanitati), and men who speak the truth and women who speak the truth, and men who persevere (in righteousness) and women who persevere, and men who are humble and women who are humble, and men who give alms and women who give alms, and men who fast and women who fast, and men who guard their modesty and women who guard (their modesty), and men who remember Allah much and women who remember - Allah hath prepared for them forgiveness and a vast reward. And it becometh not a believing man or a believing woman, when Allah and His messenger have decided an affair (for them), that they should (after that) claim any say in their affair; and whoso is rebellious to Allah and His messenger, he verily goeth astray in error manifest. And when thou saidst unto him on whom Allah hath conferred favour AND thou hast conferred favour (anama Allahu alayhi wa’anamta alayhi): Keep thy wife to thyself, and fear Allah. And thou didst hide in thy mind that which Allah was to bring to light, and thou didst fear mankind whereas Allah hath a better right that thou shouldst fear Him. So when Zeyd had performed that necessary formality (of divorce) from her, We gave her unto thee in marriage, so that (henceforth) there may be no sin for believers in respect of wives of their adopted sons, when the latter have performed the necessary formality (of release) from them. The commandment of Allah must be fulfilled. S. 33:28-37
But nay, by thy Lord, they will not believe (in truth) until they make thee judge of what is in dispute between them and find within themselves no dislike of that which thou decidest, and submit with full submission. S. 4:65
This is why the Islamic scripture emphatically teaches that Allah will never love or forgive a person who does not believe in and obey Muhammad:
Say, (O Muhammad, to mankind): If ye love Allah, follow me; Allah will love you and forgive you your sins. Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. Say: Obey Allah AND the messenger. But if they turn away, lo! Allah loveth not the disbelievers (in His guidance). S. 3:31-32
We sent no messenger save that he should be obeyed by Allah's leave. And if, when they had wronged themselves, they had but come unto thee and asked forgiveness of Allah, and asked forgiveness of the messenger, they would have found Allah Forgiving, Merciful. S. 4:64
They only are the true believers who believe in Allah AND His messenger and, when they are with him on some common errand, go not away until they have asked leave of him. Lo! those who ask leave of thee, those are they who believe in Allah AND His messenger. So, if they ask thy leave for some affair of theirs, give leave to whom thou wilt of them, and ask for them forgiveness of Allah. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful. Make not the calling of the messenger among you as your calling one of another. Allah knoweth those of you who steal away, hiding themselves. And let those who conspire to evade orders beware lest grief or painful punishment befall them. S. 24:62-63
If this weren’t shocking and troubling enough, Muhammad’s pleasure is directly connected to Allah’s pleasure:
They swear/take oath by God for you, to please/satisfy you (liyurdooKUM), and God AND His messenger (are) more worthy/deserving (that) they please/satisfy HIM (yurduHU), if they were believing. S. 9:62 (Muhammad Ahmed & Samira https://islamawakened.com/quran/9/st19.htm#gsc.tab=0)
The word for please/satisfy is yurduhu, which is a singular masculine noun with a singular masculine pronoun attached to it (hu). And yet in the context this is supposed to refer to the believers pleasing/satisfying both Allah and Muhammad together!
In other words, the author(s) did not employ the dual form of the pronoun (humā) to refer to the pleasure/satisfaction that Allah and Muhammad are to receive from their followers, but chose the singular instead!
By using the singular hu, the composer(s) has/have made Muhammad’s pleasure identical with Allah’s pleasure, since to please Muhammad is the same as pleasing his god, with there being no difference between the two.
As if it couldn’t get any more blasphemous, the Quran teaches that, not only is Allah annoyed with whatever annoys Muhammad, he also joins the angels and Muslims in praying for his so-called prophet!
Verily, God and His angels pray for the prophet. O ye who believe! pray for him and salute him with a salutation! Verily, those who annoy God AND His Apostle, God will curse them in this world and the next, and prepare for them shameful woe! S. 33:56-57 Palmer
The aforementioned Quranic texts provide ample evidence that Muhammad is nothing other than Allah in disguise. Allah is simply Muhammad’s alter ego and vice-versa, which is why whatever affects and happens to the one also affects and happens to the other.
In other words, Muhammad is nothing more than the human manifestation of that demonic being that came to inspire him to deceive people from the true God revealed in Jesus Christ.
