Islam and its History and Impact of Prophet Muhammad(PBUH)

[yukapuka]

I think Muhammad was an intelligent Atheist who figured that the people are dumb and can be persuaded into anything, so after spending enough time alone scheming he came out with a pretty good story to tell them on how he is a messenger of God and he will lead them out of their wrong ways.

Why he had to mess with the Jews and Atheists I don't know. But I don't think there is anything divine in Islam. It started shaking the moment Muhammad died, he did not even name an heir, that is how poorly he planned for beyond his death. And that's because he did not care beyond his death. 

In his greatness he also did not follow his own rules. Men can marry 4 women, except him he could marry as much as he likes. Any woman can remarry after her husband dies except him, his wives cannot remarry after he dies. He clearly was in it for himself. He may have done well for Saudi Arabia or whatever it was called back then, but he conquered the middle east and Egypt and not long after he died those regions once peaceful were shoved into a religious civil war with one another, and we still are...

You wouldn't consider leaving your faith because of all the gruesome threats of eternal fire and peeling of flesh the quraan promises those who do not believe, but not because your faith actually makes sense or produces any prosperous way of life...

He actually did leave a heir, he mentioned it many times during his life and even close to his end, and also at his end, and when he tried to write it down so that it is undisputed they objected(those who were seeking this now newely established arabian empire at any cost) he realized that no matter what he said they were not going to listen, they had other goals and motives and agendas (which he knew even before it came to his death and mentioned many times indirectly warning about it , even there is many verses in the Quran talking about the hypocrites and their ulterior motives during events that related to them), but when the very people who were around him his whole life started calling him crazy at his death bed he realized how gone/lost they were and knew that no matter what he said or wrote they would only cause problems and bloodshed of his people and hence why he let it go, because he also knew that this life isnt THE life and put his trust in God in the matter , even at his death bed he was thinking of them

about his marrying more wives then others , yes this is true but the women he married were not all young virgins according to your theory , he married older widows as well that lost their husbands in the conflicts during his coming up an establishing Islam in Arabia and nobody wanted, so he did it as a form of charity to help them and take care of them

He was a socialist and humanist , everything he did he did to help other people who were in need

he took care of many orphans and widows and he instructed all Muslims not to ever neglect the two and to take care of both

also he had wives that made his life very miserable but he never pounced on them or attacked them or divorced them etc , he would do is best to please their wishes

even one famous narration where his wives where jealous that another wife was preparing something of his favourite food(honey) and in order to try to minimize this relationship that another wife had with him, they complained about the food giving him bad breath(later on after he ate with the other wife), so he vowed never to eat it again(a honey dish that he liked which one of his wives prepared) in order to please them followed by God revealing a verse in the Quran that he should not forbid upon himself what God had not forbid him and warning the wives about their jealousy

so he went over and beyond to please them and make them approve of him

he was a very gentle caring man

even once when he was leading prayers and doing the prostration on the ground, with hundreds of men behind him following, and it just so happened that some child climbed on his back while he was in prostration

and in order not to disturb the child's fun, he stayed in prostration while this child was on him , extending the prostration to an unusual length, and the people who obviously had all their heads in the ground and couldnt see what was going on began to get worried that he wasn't getting up an thought something happened to him

to find out later that he was staying in that prostration in order to not disturb the child's fun of climbing on his back , so he put the child enjoyment even above his own prayers which shows that he was so curtious to others that he even considered not disturbing them at the cost of even his prayers , but another important thing despite that he was leading men in prayer and a prophet he showed great humility by not considering his prayers more important then disturbing a child , there was also another lesson he was giving at this event and that is for parents to treat their children with love and care which the arabs were not accustomed to doing due to their habits prior to Islam state

and it is things like this that really sealed the love of the people around him to him, and us to him today
