YASIR QADHI’S GOD UNVEILED!
In this post I will be quoting from notable Muslim scholar Yasir Qadhi’s biography on Muhammad in order to prove that Muslims are really Muhammadans who have deified their prophet to the level of divine status.
Qadhi mentions some of the names given to his messenger, two of which reveal the level of idolatry and blasphemy laden within the Sunni corpus, and which refute the oft-repeated assertion that the Islamic faith preaches absolute ethical monotheism. All emphasis will be mine.
The Prophet had many names, some given to him by Allah and some by his Companions. While names given by human beings are of benefit, the names given by Allah provide the primary base upon which we can learn about him. The Prophet said: “I have a number of names: I am Muhammad; I am Ahmad; I am al-Mahi–the one by whom Allah erases disbelief; I am al-Hashir–the one after whom people will be resurrected; I am al-‘Aqib–the one after whom there will be no Prophet; I am The Prophet of Mercy; I am the Prophet of Repentance; I am al-Muqaffa–the one who completes a long chain [of Prophets]; and I am the Prophet of Malahim (Trials).”4
The name “al-Mahi” is derived from the word maha which means “to wipe out”. Al-Mahi therefore means The Eraser (of Disbelief), and it is evidenced by the Prophet’s impact on reducing disbelief in such a short frame of time. The name “al-Hashir” refers to the Prophet’s existence signalling the Day of Judgement. Indeed, the Prophet’s coming is the first sign of the coming of the Day of Reckoning.5 The name “al-‘Aqib” is the Prophet’s confirmation as the Final Messenger. The title “Prophet of Repentance” describes the Prophet as being THE SOURCE of repentance and the one whose teachings will result in people’s repentance. The name “al-Muqaffa” describes the Prophet sufficing the world of any other prophet. The statement, “I am the Prophet of Malahim (Trials)” is a warning for both believers as well as disbelievers who oppose him.
The above list of names given to the Prophet are descriptive in nature, functioning more as adjectives. The only two proper nouns by which Allah names the Prophet are Muhammad and Ahmad. The name “Muhammad” is mentioned in the Qur’an four times,6 and the name “Ahmad” is mentioned once, which was via the tongue of Jesus Christ.7 Both “Ahmad” and “Muhammad” are derived from the root word hamd. The closest English equivalent to the word hamd is “praise”.
There is, however, a distinction to be made between hamd and “praise”. Hamd is more accurately defined as a combination of “thanks” (shukr) and “praise” (madh). Being thankful to someone does not necessitate praise, and vice versa… Hamd is given to a person irrespective of what has been done to you. When we say “alhamdulillah”, it is because Allah is inherently worthy of being praised; even if we did not exist, He would still be worthy of praise.
Both of his names revolve around the word “praise”iii BECAUSE ALLAH HAS PRAISED HIM, the Angels have praised him, the Prophets have all praised him, and everyone on Earth has praised him. THE PROPHET IS PRAISED IN THE HEAVENS AND ON THE EARTH: he was praised by previous nations and our current Ummah (nation); and he is praised in this life as well as the Hereafter. No human will exist who has been, is being, or will ever be praised more than our Prophet. A single second does not pass without hundreds of millions of tongues and hearts praising him. At any given moment throughout the 24 hours of a day, people around the globe are praying to Allah AND ARE THUS PRAISING THE PROPHET AND SENDING PEACE AND SALUTATIONS UPON HIM. This is in addition to the MILLIONS OF BELIEVERS VOLUNTARILY SENDING PEACE AND BLESSINGS UPON HIM and giving lectures and reminders about him.
The Prophet’s ultimate praise is given BY ALLAH. As for humanity’s praise, it will culminate on the Day of Judgement. When all of humanity are desperate for Allah to begin the Reckoning, they will rush to Adam and say, “O Adam, you are our father. Allah created you with His Hand and blew the ruh (soul [sic]) into you.”8 They will then beg him to ask Allah on their behalf. Adam will excuse himself and say “Myself, myself” after explaining that he had lapsediv and that he is not worthy of the task. He instead will instruct, “Go to someone else.” The whole of humanity will go to Nuh and beg him to ask Allah to begin the Reckoning. Nuh will also excuse himself, saying, “I made a mistake which I should not have done. Allah instructed me not to ask anyone to be saved, but I asked Allah to save my son.” He will then say, “Myself, myself. Go to someone else.” Humanity will go to Ibrahim with the same request, and Ibrahim will respond, “I told three liesv and so I need to worry about myself. Go to someone else.” Musa will similarly excuse himself and cite that he killedvi someone. Humanity will flee to ‘Isa, who will in turn excuse himself and state, “I am not worthy.” Eventually, the entirety of mankind will go to Muhammad and beg him to intercede on their behalf to Allah. As humanity’s representative to Allah, the Prophet will respond, “This is my responsibility.”9 Mankind in its entirety–Muslims and non-Muslims alike–will praise him, and he will thus be raised to al-Maqam al-Mahmud: The station of Praise.
The word “Muhammad” means “to be given continuous praise”, and “Ahmad” means “to be given the best type of praise”. The former indicates quantity of praise while the latter indicates quality. They are both combined in our blessed Prophet. This also explains why previous Prophets referred to our noble Prophet in different ways. Musa refers to our Prophet as “Muhammad” because the Banu Isra’il (The Children of Israel) were the largest nation before the Ummah of Muhammad. As for ‘Isa, he refers to our Prophet as “Ahmad” because his true followers were few in number but of the highest calibre of quality. (The Sirah of the Prophet: A Contemporary Analysis, adapted and edited by Dr. Salah Sharief [Wordsmith Press, 2nd edition, 2024], Part I: Introduction, Chapter 1: About the Prophet, pp. 4-6)
iii To be used synonymously with hamd in light of the preceding explanation.
iv Referring to eating from the forbidden tree in Paradise.
v All three “lies” are explained by the scholars of Islam as not being lies. The first instance refers to his claim that the big idol smashed the other idols. This statement was a rhetorical device designed to force the idolaters to introspect, and thus not a lie. The second instance was when he claimed to be “sick” in order to avoid a trip, when in fact he was “sick” of the state of his people. Finally, the third instance was when he claimed that Sarah was his sister, and this too was not a lie, as she was his sister in Islam.
vi This incident was an accident and therefore not a sin. (Ibid., pp. 5-6)
And:
When the Prophet was named “Muhammad”– which was not the most common name–the people asked ‘Abd al-Muttalib why he chose such a unique name, to which he replied, “I want him to be praised amongst the people as I want him to be praised BY ALLAH IN THE HEAVENS.”60 (Ibid., p. 29)
Notice that Muhammad is supposedly the source of all repentance, which is clearly a divine function. Also pay attention to the fact that the names Muhammad and Ahmad are intended to signify that the Islamic prophet is supposed to be the most praised being in all of creation.
Qadhi unashamedly states that Muhammad is praised by his very own god, and is being praised daily by angels and Muslims. Qadhi even goes as far as to claim that at the last day his prophet will be praised by the rest of creation!
Qadhi cites a narration where Muhammad praises himself by bragging about all the names given to him. This means that all existence will eventually praise Muhammad, including Allah himself!
Despite all this evidence Muslims like Qadhi still want us to believe that they are not Muhammadans that worship a dead man who was one of the most obviously wicked and immoral false prophets and cult leaders that has ever lived!

ADDENDUM
In two of the footnotes that were cited earlier Qadhi tried to soften the impact of the hadith that Abraham and Moses felt unworthy to intercede due their personal sins:
v All three “lies” are explained by the scholars of Islam as not being lies [sic]. The first instance refers to his claim that the big idol smashed the other idols. This statement was a rhetorical device designed to force the idolaters to introspect, and thus not a lie. The second instance was when he claimed to be “sick” in order to avoid a trip, when in fact he was “sick” of the state of his people. Finally, the third instance was when he claimed that Sarah was his sister, and this too was not a lie, as she was his sister in Islam.
vi This incident was an accident and therefore not a sin. (Ibid., p. 6; emphasis mine)
It is apparent that Qadhi hasn’t thought through these assertions since they actually undermine the explicit reason which the tradition gives for why these prophets were unfit for the task of intercession. If it is the case that Abraham did not really lie or that Moses did not actually murder someone then why did Qadhi’s prophet point to these sins as the reason for why he alone was good enough to intercede?
It is obvious that Muhammad deliberately highlighted their imperfections in order to denigrate these servants of God for the sole purpose of magnifying himself over them all in the hearts of his followers.
In other words, Muhammad wanted his followers to view him as being greater and superior than all of God’s true prophets so as to get Muhammadans such as Qadhi to blindly follow and love him more than anyone and anything else. Sadly, Muhammad’s demonization of these inspired spokespersons and friends of God, resulting in Muslims loving him just as much as they do their deity (Cf. Q. 9:23-24; 58:22).
This is easily proven from what the narrations state about the condition of Jesus:
“… They will go to ‘Isa and say, ‘O ‘Isa! You are the Messenger of Allah and His Word which He cast to Maryam and a spirit from Him. You spoke to people while in the cradle. Intercede with your Lord on our behalf. Do you not see what we are suffering?’ ‘Isa will say, ‘My Lord is angry today with such anger as has never existed before nor will again,’ AND HE DID NOT MENTION A SIN. ‘O my soul! My soul! My soul! Go to someone else. Go to Muhammad.’
“They will come to me and say, ‘O Muhammad! You are the Messenger of Allah and the Seal of the Prophets. Allah has forgiven you your past and future wrong actions. Intercede with your Lord on our behalf. Do you not see what we are suffering?’ I will go and arrive under the Throne and fall down in prostration to my Lord, the Mighty and Exalted…” (Aisha Bewley, The Sahih Collection of al-Bukhari, Chapter 68. Book of Tafsir https://aishabewley.netlify.app/bukhari31.html; bold, bold and capital emphasis mine)
And:
“… Moses would say to them: Verily my Lord is angry as He had never been angry before and would never be angry afterwards. I, in fact, killed a person whom I had not been ordered to kill. I am concerned with myself, I am concerned with myself. You better go to Jesus. They would come to Jesus and would say: O Jesus, thou art the messenger of Allah and thou conversed with people in the cradle, (thou art) His Word which He sent down upon Mary, and (thou art) the Spirit from Him; so intercede for us with thy Lord. Don’t you see (the trouble) in which we are? Don’t you see (the misfortune) that has overtaken us? Jesus would say: Verily, my Lord is angry today as He had never been angry before or would ever be angry afterwards. HE MENTIONED NO SIN OF HIS. (He simply said:) I am concerned with myself, I am concerned with myself; you go to someone else: better go to Muhammad. They would come to me and say: O Mahammad, thou art the messenger of Allah and the last of the apostles. Allah has pardoned thee all thy previous and later sins…” (Sahih Muslim, Book 001, Number 0378 http://searchtruth.com/book_display.php?book=001&translator=2&start=0&number=0378; bold and capital emphasis mine)
Finally:
Anas b Malik reported: The Messenger of Allah said: Allah would gather people on the Day of Resurrection and they would be concerned about it, and Ibn Ubaid said. They would get a Divine inspiration about it, and would say: If we could seek intercession with our Lord, we may be relieved from this predicament of ours. He (the Holy Prophet) said: They would come to Adam and say, Thou art Adam, the father of mankind. Allah created thee with His own hand and breathed unto thee of His Spirit and commanded the angels and they prostrated before thee. So intercede for us with thy Lord, that He may relieve us from this position of ours. He would say: I am not in a position to do this, and would recall his error, and would feel shy of his Lord on account of that… You better go to Jesus, THE SPIRIT OF ALLAH AND HIS WORD. He would say: I am not in a position to do that for you; you better go to Muhammad, a servant whose former and later sins have been forgiven… (Sahih Muslim, Book 001, Number 0373 http://searchtruth.com/book_display.php?book=001&translator=2&start=0&number=0373)
Pay close attention to the fact that Jesus, unlike Muhammad himself whose past and future wickedness have been supposedly forgiven, does not mention a single sin and that he is even said to be God’s own Word and Spirit!
In light of this, we would expect that Christ would actually be more deserving than Muhammad to intercede seeing that he is way better than the latter, a self-admitted lawbreaker and transgressor. And yet Muhammad has Jesus denying his worthiness, obviously for the purpose of getting his followers to love him more than Christ himself!
Besides all this, the excuses given to explain away Abraham’s three lies hold no weight whatsoever. This is because the interpretation given still make Abraham out to be a liar.
After all, the folks whom Abraham lied to did not know that he meant he was sick of their ways or that Sarah was merely his sister in faith. Rather, they assumed that Abraham meant that he was physically ill and, therefore, unable to partake of their practices. And in the case of Sarah, Abraham said she was his sister in order to hide the fact she was actually his wife.
Hence, no matter how Qadhi and his follow Muhammadans interpret their prophet’s statements they are still left with Abraham actually lying about the facts of the situation.
So much for Qadhi’s excuses.
