Unnamed wives (generally thought to be between 8-11) along with numerous concubines
Muhammed also allowed for “temporary marriages” which essentially promoted adultery
Muhammed’s Visions
Some suggest that Mohammed had epilepsy
After his first vision he attempted suicide
He claimed that he received messages from Gabriel
Demonic spirits/fallen angels imitate elect angels
2 Corinthians 11:14
And no wonder, for even Satan
disguises himself as an angel of light.
Was Muhammed a Prophet?
Muslims claim he is the fulfillment of Jesus’ promise
of a
paraclete
in John 16:7.
Jesus warned that many false prophets would come
(Matthew 24:11)
John admonished to test false spirits based on their
view of the deity of Jesus (1 John 4:1-3)
Muhammed’s “Peacefulness”
“Mohammed sent assassins to kill his enemies in their sleep, and
even to deceive and abuse trust in order to assassinate. He
punished some enemies by cutting off their hands and feet,
branding their eyes with a heated iron, and causing them to lick the
dust until they died. He led battles against unarmed cities. He
allowed even women and children to be killed during nighttime raid.
On more than on occasion, Mohammed decimated tribes by killing
all their men and teenage boys while distributing their women and
children as slaves.”
Qureshi, Nabeel.
No God But One: Allah or Jesus?
Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 2016. p. 251.
