Help with Islam

RE: Help with Islam
KichigaiNeko

The prophet came at a time when the average Arab had no problem burying female babies alive. At a time when almost everyone in the community called him a kook, threw stones at him, pissed on his front door, harassed his family, ...etc. The people of his time treated him in some of the worst ways imaginable.

However in the end, once he passed away everyone he knew converted to follow this religion. Why? There were Christians and Jewish communities all over in Arabia and all of those guys converted. Why were these guys convinced? What did the prophet do to have this kind of following?

I suggest you study the text, watch some lectures on youtube to have a better understanding. People at his time told him upfront that he was a kook, and he jacked all these stories from christianity/Judaism and yet they were all convinced in the end.

I understand it to mean that it is a miracle that a desert dwelling goat herder had the nous to steal material from other goat herding desert dwellers and plagiarise material that can be found long before said goat herding desert dwellers even thought of writing, not to mention poetry???

Well yes they do hence my comments above.
