Questionable Teachings of Islam:

One Billion People Deceived

Regarding the Islamic Prophet, Muhammad:

Muslims believe Muhammad to be the Last and Final Prophet of God and revere him as
highest in importance than all other prophets. Here are some descriptions and sayings of
Muhammad as recorded within Islamic theology:

Muhammad described how he had received the revelations of the Qur'an:

"...Sometimes it comes to me like the ringing of a bell, and that is the hardest for me, and
when it leaves me I remember what it has said. And sometimes the angel appears to me
in the likeness of a man and talks to me and I remember what he says." (Malik's Muwatta
Book 15, No. 15.4.7)

Muhammad declared, among other things, that Allah had given him the right to use terror;
the earth was made for him; and, he will be an intercessor:

"Allah's Apostle said, "I have been given five things which were not given to any amongst
the Prophets before me. These are:

1. Allah made me victorious by awe (by His frightening my enemies) for a distance of one
month's journey.
2. The earth has been made for me (and for my followers) a place for praying and a thing
to perform Tayammum. Therefore my followers can pray wherever the time of a prayer is
due.
3. The booty has been made Halal (lawful) for me (and was not made so for anyone else).
4. Every Prophet used to be sent to his nation exclusively but I have been sent to all
mankind.
5. I have been given the right of intercession (on the Day of Resurrection.) "

(Sahih Bukhari: Vol. 1, Book 8, No. 429)

Muhammad claimed that he could intercede for people in Hell:
"The Prophet said, "Some people will be taken out of the Fire through the intercession of
Muhammad they will enter Paradise and will be called Al-Jahannamiyin (the Hell Fire
people)."
(Sahih Bukhari: Volume 8, Book 76, No. 571)
