What if the Quran is a story about showcasing what happens when a mortal man is chosen by God. This is because God wants to show the difference between the case of Jesus, who is perfect, and Muhammod, who is a mere mortal. Jesus, who is God made flesh appearing on Earth, was able to exemplify perfect compassion, other virtues, and miracles, because he was something special. Muhammad, being a mortal, has to contend with human emotions such as fear, lust, hatred, and greed while trying to serve God.
If the Quran is a story about what it can be like for a mortal man to be chosen to serve God then the Quran is actually an allegory for what it’s like for any ordinary human being suffering from life’s difficulties while trying to serve God.
You could compare Muhammod to other people chosen by God who were ordinary human beings too, such as Abraham and Moses. They also suffered from the same imperfections as any human. But, honestly, I’m not that well informed in the Bible or Islam. This is just an idea that just popped up in my head and I thought I’d share to see what people thought.
So, what are your thoughts?

No offense but I sense as tho Yankee hands wrote this and it is made by an xmuslim, a recent convert or someone who isn't really that knowledgeable about the structure of the Quran
You are superior to 98% of all other non Muslims IF you not one, as at least it shows you actually put legit fricking brain power and effort where many else choose to just let slide one ear and out the next
few things are more hilarious than muslims who genuinely believe islam is this deep wise misunderstood religion
come on, entertain us some more
You are a dumb Black person who's never read a book and your knowledge of Islam likely comes entirely from Reddit or Quora
>*Googles why izlam is bad*
>OMG IZLAM DEBOONKED OH MY JESUS I'M GONNA DEBOOOOOOONKKKK
>you don't know islam even though you've studied it countless times!
pathetic cope from mudslimes
my knowledge of why islam is false and evil comes from islamic scriptures, long gone are the days where you could realistically assume that non-muslims don't know your scripture, it's over, with each day that passes people around the world see you more and more for the lying criminals you really are
I literally have no desire to read that entire wall of DEBOOOONKKEEEEDD text and a bunch of Hadiths that are either taken out of context or straight up fabricated.
I happened to glance at Muslim 4345. The fact that it is cut off right in the middle is proof enough of your disingenuousness. If you had bothered to open Sahih Muslim instead of the David Wood fan page, you would have found that the Prophet (PBUH) sent the girl back to Makkah unharmed for ransom of some Muslim captives over there.
I am in no mood to engage with you until you read a damn book for once in your life and actually verify the information you're posting, because it's not my job to do it for you. Not only do you look like the stupidest fricking donkey in existence, but you're wasting my time as well just making me have to read your dishonest bullshit.

Well, actually, the idea came to me while I was pondering about how people revere the prophet Muhammad. I'm not that well informed on the Quran, but, as I understand it, Muhammad did a lot of violence, made strict statements on gender, and expressed differences in relationship with other faiths.
I figured that if someone is a very faithful Muslim then he obviously looks up to Muhammad. I had a hard time trying to understand this. But, then I figured that if I look at the Quran as basically a showcase of what happens when God chooses a mere mortal man with all his imperfections, that is what it looks like. It's imperfect, not the most purest of executions in terms of how things played out and how people were impacted, but, all in all, completely understandable as being very much in the realm of humanity.
Please correct me if I am wrong or inform me. Thank you I appreciate it.
Difference is, a person chosen by God repents of his evil.
Mohammed never repented of being a common highway bandit, a disgusting rapist, a torturer, an honorless coward, a bloodthirsty conqueror, or most importantly, passing off his inventions as the word of God.
See David going full PTSD over the Uriah thing, and still not being allowed to build the temple, due to being on military campaigns all his life.
The only thing Mohammed earned is being sodomized in Hell by whatever demonic filth whispered the Quran in his ears.
Formulated it better.

>False premise
Can you israelites possibly be any more intellectually dishonest? You're right at the peak of mount stupid on the Dunning Kruger graph and you're trying to convince random internet people about how YOUR limited understanding of Islam is the most correct one.
Muhammad (PBUH) did all which Allah commanded of him, and did not transgress the laws of warfare. If you have an opinion on the contrary, once again I appeal to you do go read a book on the matter and bring forth coherent arguments (not the copy paste bullshit this moron
gives). Until you do so, your takes are nothing more than dumb opinions nobody asked for.
>Mohammed never repented
Narrated Abu Huraira:
I heard Allah's Messenger (PBUH) saying." By Allah! I ask for forgiveness from Allah and turn to Him in repentance more than seventy times a day." (Sahih Bukhari 6307)
You put way too much thought into this: Muslims do not give a rat's ass about allegory, they are they most literal-minded people on the planet, and that's saying a lot.
The Quran specifically states why the messengers were sent down as human, and that is so that we may be able to ponder and understand the message itself, subsequently building an intrinsic faith in Allah through our own will. There is no point in humanity's test if Allah sends divine beings or reveals himself, because then there will remain no space for free will to choose between good and evil.
>Do they [then] wait for anything except that the angels should come to them or your Lord should come or that there come some of the signs of your Lord? The Day that some of the signs of your Lord will come no soul will benefit from its faith as long as it had not believed before or had earned through its faith some good. Say, "Wait. Indeed, we [also] are waiting." (Quran 6:158)
Another reason for Allah sending humans as messengers is so that they could be realistic role models for the rest of humanity. If he had sent higher beings, we would have made excuses to not perform our religious duties citing our own human limitations.
Also, Muslims do not believe Isa (PBUH) was the son of God or any sort of divine being. Although he was untouched by evil and brought forth miracles by the grace of Allah, he was still human as he had human physiological needs such as eating and sleeping.
The Quran has barely any mention of Muhammad nor is it a continuous story. It’s more of a compilation of speeches people heard Muhammad say.
If they were speeches by Muhammad (PBUH), the Quran would not have:
a) gone against his and his followers' human desires
b) reminded him of his mission on multiple occasions
c) criticised him for his actions
d) accurately narrated historical events of which he had no knowledge, which even the learned israelites and christians of the time venerated
The Quran did all of the above. Furthermore, it would have been impossible for Muhammad (PBUH), an unlettered man who lived as a simple shepherd and merchant for the first 40 years of his life, to come up with and orate matters which were far beyond his intellectual capacity, in a literary flow that not even the most intelligent poets of the time could replicate.
I'll be honest. The satanic verses in Islam are very eye brow raising. Muhammed was either being a pussy or he was lying or he was literally corrupted by Satan there. How do Muslims justify this?
Is this where the theological basis for taqiyya comes from?
There does not need to be a theological basis for this event, because there isn't even a historical basis for it. It's completely falsified and made up. There isn't a single chain of narrators for this claim that go back directly to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). The closest alleged one goes back to Ibn Abbas, who wasn't even born when the said incident took place.
The story of the satanic verses has therefore rightfully been discarded by all self-respecting Muslims, theologians, and historians. It now only exists in pajeet whatsapp circles and atheist subreddits, both of whom are moronic enough to believe it's true.
Isn't Ibn Abbas incredibly important for the hadithic basis of a lot of Shia jurisprudence? How unreliable is he?
He is important because he was quite young compared to the other companions of the Prophet (PBUH), and therefore lived long enough to narrate a lot of the Ahadith to the next generation of Muslims.
But to even suggest that he heard Muhammad (PBUH) say the alleged satanic verses is absurd, because he wasn't even born at the time. All of Ibn Abbas' narrations are from Muhammad's (PBUH) later years in Madinah, because that's the time when he was old enough to understand and remember them.
