Mohammed was a false prophet
- The Misconceptions about Islam
|
If one wants to start accusing Mohammed of being a false prophet, one needs to read the section ‘The False Prophets’. Here is a comparison between Jesus, Mohammed and St Paul. You will see the similarities between Jesus and Mohammed but no real similarities between them and St Paul. Paul is no doubt the false prophet.

Mohammed was also prophesised in the Old and New Testament. He also made many future prophecies that have come true.
A Solar eclipse took place on the day Mohammed’s son Ibrahim passed away. Some people thought this could be a sign/miracle from God recognising the death of Mohammed’s son. If Mohammed was a false prophet he could of agreed with them and confirmed that this was a sign from God recognising his son’s death but of course he didn’t.
Instead he said: “O People! Be it known to you that the sun and the moon are the signs of the Power of God. They move in a particular course which God has prescribed for them according to the laws of nature. They are not eclipsed on account of the death or birth of anyone.” 432 433
Christians often question what miracles Mohammed is known for. The main miracle attributed to him is the Holy Quran. He was an illiterate 434 desert man and the book that was revealed to him is a book like no other. It is timeless book for all generations 435 as He was the seal of the prophets (Quran 33:40).
Moses’ miracles were for his time period and Jesus’ miracles were for his. But their miracles are not suitable for our generation as there are some renowned television magicians who seem to be able to mimic some of their miracles (e.g. changing the substances of liquids, walking on water etc.)
There are many biblical prophets that have no miracles attributed to them. 436 437
We are not supposed to judge a prophet by what miracles (signs and wonders) he does as Jesus warned us:
“For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.” Matthew 24:24 KJV
There are so many scientific discoveries found in the Quran that it would have been impossible for a desert man to have known 1400 years ago. Many scientists confirm that the Quran is a divine revelation. 403 369 The scientific miracles we are finding now no man would have known 1400 years ago, let alone a couple of centuries ago. So, as we advance in science we will discover more miracles in the Quran.
