A Response to Three Questions of a Christian — Page 3
The Questions First— Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, was in doubt about his own prophethood and about the Holy Quran being the Word of Allah, as is written in S u rah al-Baqarah and S u rah al-An‘ a m: 1 اَلَف َّنَنْوُكَت َنِم َنْيِرَتْمُمْلا This proves that in his heart Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, knew with conviction that he was not a Messenger of God. If he had been a Messenger of God, or if he had ever shown any miracle, or had the M i ‘raj [Spiritual Ascent to Heaven] taken place, or if Gabriel, peace be upon him, had brought the Holy Quran, he would never have been in doubt about his own prophethood. This clearly proves that he was in doubt about the Holy Quran and about his own prophethood. Hence, he is not a Messenger of Allah. 1. S u rah al-Baqarah, 2:148; S u rah al-An‘ a m, 6:115 [Publisher]
