Muhammad Ibn Abdullah was one of the prophets of God

Assalamualaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa BarakatuhuLiar, Deluded, or the Prophet of God?According to A.1.4 on the NDRE Lv.1.5 (Strict) reference, I will send an 18 minute video regarding this very argument.[1]Con stated: "Mohammad could be partially legendary, as in someone who has many false stories about his prophecy although he existed as a historic figure with a different prophecy."Rebuttal: I already stated before last round, assuming the All-Knowing All-Wise God exists, He would never choose a person who is affected by delusion or someone who would lie to carry the word of God and proclaim it to the people. Therefore, the third classification is also exclusive. A person cannot lie or be deluded and also be a prophet carrying God's message to the world. This would infact, lessen God Himself. So Muhammad (saw) cannot be a person who creates false stories about himself and his prophecy even though he had a different 'prophecy' (from God assuming) altogether.Con stated: "It is an unrealistic assumption that people are always either completely deluded or lying about a particular matter."Rebuttal: According to testthemessage.com[2] it is written, "It is not possible for an individual to be both a liar and be deluded. Lying is something done with intent whereas a delusion stems from an individual’s belief of an altered reality. The two are diametrically opposed phenomena. So it is logically impossible, as the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) could not have been convinced that he was speaking the truth and yet it was based on falsehood and at the same time pretend to be speaking the truth but yet it being based on a lie!" It is common sense here on out.Regarding Con's analogy, if the person had to make up a false story to convince others that the clowns exist in their special operation room, then we can reasonably assume that the person isn't deluded, cause he is consciously and intentionally forming a lie even though he knows the room and the clowns don't exist, therefore his story of the clowns are also lies. He's either completely deluded, or completely dishonest.Con has to disprove the reasonable arguments mentioned in the video regarding the prophethood of Muhammad (saw), whether he was a liar, he was deluded, or he was speaking the truth. What was mentioned in the video is reasonable proof for the prophethood of Muhammad (saw).Sleep ParalysisNow before I continue, I would like to state that Con is using his entire argument of sleep paralysis based upon testimony of Hadith, and Hadith are largely unreliable as accurate historical facts and documents, therefore Con rests his case entirely on something that essentially is impossible to prove.Everything that is created in this world serves a purpose, as is the Islamic belief. Assuming God exists, He would create ways to communicate, directly and indirectly with His servants (humans) in this life. There are countless forms reported by people who have witnessed a divine communication from Almighty God, whether it be a vision, dream, a sign, etc.Con stated: Pro conceded that Mohammad had Sleep Paralysis but claimed that it also had a supernatural factor without providing any empirical evidence for the role of God or Angels in such event. I see no reason, therefore, to accept that an Angel caused this or was involved in this. Rebuttal: Con fails to erode the basis of my argument because I am open to accepting his theory that the the way he felt during his revelations were similar feelings to that of those of sleep paralysis victims. Proving whether it was an Angel or God is a completely different argument altogether, Con is just bringing this in to further support his argument. Sleep paralysis is described as what a person is feeling and going through when their body shuts down yet the consciousness still remains awake as a person falls to sleep. Con needs to prove that this feeling and state cannot be reproduced in another way besides naturally falling to sleep. The feelings that Muhammad (saw) recieved during his revelations could definitely have been similar to the feelings of sleep paralysis, but it doesn't prove, nor disprove that there was a supernatural factor. Proof that it was a supernatural factor however clearly outweighs the contrary, seeing the abundance of success and legitimacy of the prophethood of Muhammad (saw). I am not here to prove that God sent an Angel down to Muhammad (saw), I am here to prove his prophethood, the argument that I am proposing for sleep paralysis is just possibility, like Con's theory.Traits of MuhammadCon stated: "This debate is not on whether Mohammad had the traits of a Prophet, but whether he actually was a Prophet."Rebuttal: Does not Con understand his own debate? In order for me to prove that Muhammad (saw) was a true prophet of God, listing the usual qualities that are found with an expected prophet is acceptable and reasonable proof for the prophethood of Muhammad (saw). If these qualities were not existant with his apparent nature, he definitely could never have been a prophet. This however, is not the case. Muhammad (saw) possesses all the inherent traits and qualities that an ideal prophet would possess, therefore adding to the reasonability that Muhammad (saw) was a prophet. You cannot deny this.Epistemological Argument from Naturalistic ExplanationsWhatever Con likes to think. God is just the super part of supernatural. Everything that happens naturally in this universe, God is the final ultimate controlling power of it. That star exploded hundreds of light years away? The natural explanation, a nova, of course, that is science. The supernatural explanation? That is how God designed stars to begin with, they form, they release energy, then they die and explode. It follows the laws created by Him from the very beginning.ProofMy objective is to provide proof and evidence to prove beyond reasonable doubt that supports Muhammad (saw) being one of the prophets of God. Any proof that is logical and consistent with being a prophet adds to the legitimacy of Muhammad's (saw) prophethood.1. As seen in the video, Hamza supports that Muhammad (saw) could not have been a liar, nor could he have been deluded, because it is logically inconsistent with who he is and what he went through and has done, therefore, the only logical explanation is that he was certainly speaking the truth about his prophethood. All of this adds up to the legitimacy of his prophethood.2. All the inherent qualities and traits that I presented are widespread accepted perspectived regarding Muhammad (saw), not only by Muslims, but even non-Muslims. Even during the time of Muhammad (saw), his enemies knew he was truthful and honest.Thomas Carlyle in his ‘On Heroes and Hero Worship and The Heroic History’ wrote:“The man’s words were not false, nor his workings here below…a fiery mass of Life cast up from the great bosom of Nature herself. To kindle the world; the world’s Maker had ordered it so.”[3]3. A prophet is a man of God sent to a corrupted people in order to reform them and bring about a spiritual revolution. Now to prove whether Muhammad (saw) is a man of God, we know that he was sent to a corrupted people, Mecca and pre-Islamic Arabia. If you read my brief history that I wrote at the start of the debate, you will know that Mecca and all of Arabia, as well as the rest of the world, were living under corrupted practices and understandings, if compared with modern society, would be horrendous. Muhammad (saw) came and established the religion of Islam, the world's 2nd largest religion, as well as the fastest growing religion according to the Guinnes Book of World Records. Muhammad (saw) came and reformed all of Arabia, including Mecca, and brought a complete spiritual revolution. Where idolatry was once practiced at the Ka'aba by the people, the concept of pure monotheism replaced it and the teachings of Muhammad (saw) completely rejevenated the people, spiritually, morally, and secularly.Dr. William Draper in ‘History of Intellectual Development of Europe’ wrote:“Four years after the death of Justinian, A.D. 569, was born in Mecca, in Arabia, the man who, of all men, has exercised the greatest influence upon the human race… To be the religious head of many empires, to guide the daily life of one-third of the human race, may perhaps justify the title of a Messenger of God.”[4]4. Muhammad (saw) is one of the world's most influential people in all of history. Michael H. Hart however, lists Muhammad (saw) as the #1 most influential person in all of history, stating that he was the only man in history to be supremely successful in both the religious and secular realms.[5]5. Many prophets have brought books, Muhammad's (saw) own book revealed to him was the Holy Qur'an, and with this book has come countless miracles. Let us name some:>The Qur'an itself means in English, "The Most-Recited". This is a miracle because the Qur'an is the most read/recited book in the entire world.>Millions of people around the world, young and old, have memorized the Qur'an cover to cover, therefore, the Qur'an can never be gone from the face of the Earth, it has Divine protection.>The Qur'an has been preserved without any addition/omission since it was revealed 1,400 years ago, again, Divine protection.>It contains numerous scientific miracles that prove its authenticity, something Muhammad (saw) possibly could not have known or guessed from previous known sciences.6. Every prophet of God is successful. Islam is one of the most powerful religions on Earth, need I say more?All of this and more, shows, without any doubt, that Muhammad (saw) was indeed a prophet of God.WasalamSources:[1] http://www.youtube.com...[2] http://www.testthemessage.com...[3] http://www.gutenberg.org...[4] http://www.gutenberg.org...[5] http://en.wikipedia.org...
