[@johnschuh8616]

You say “rewrite”. The revisionist view is that the Book was not in fact written at all until late in the century as a way of helping unify the various Arab factions. Then there is the incoherent text itself. whose most cohesive parts have to do with the rejection of the divinity of Jesus.

[@junkscience6397]

@@johnschuh8616 Then there's the question of "a book", since honest scholarship as well as Islamic sources agree that there were several versions of "the book" which needed synthesizing and refining. The thousands of variants found in "the book" throw severe doubt that there was "a book" but rather hundreds, perhaps thousands of "books" for many, even hundreds, of years.

[@johnschuh8616]

@@junkscience6397 I have read that the version of the text now in general use was not stadarded until about 100 years ago. Believers simply take on faith that this is the very text dictated by Mohammed. Muslims,. of course, make claims about the “corrupt” text of the Bible. For sure, one of the amazing things about the old Testament texts is that the Dead Sea Scrolls written before Jesus was born, are remarkable free of any deviation from the one used by Jews a thousand years later. The Muslim version of the stories of Jesus and Mary make me think the Koran was at least influenced by texts circulated by one the heretical Christian sects in the region.

Mhmd was a Messianic title. Not a person per se. There is a 523AD Jewish inscription that uses it in relation to God. Christians used on their coins in relation to Jesus in the 7th century, with crosses or the fish symbol, so it clearly wasn't the Muhammad of traditions being referenced. The Round city of Pumbedita/Baghdad was a significant location for Messianic jews, who believed they were in post-apocalptic times, hence why they called the city, the city of peace. The Jewish academies are what generated everything and later became mosques. Shariah law developed similarly to Talmudic law, following Jewish methodologies and vocabulary. Sura, Kufa, Hira, Mahoze: all these places surround each other and explain the millieu the quran was written about. There was nothing much in Mecca until Caliph Al Rashid's wife had aquaducts built in 801 AD - "oh yeah, the endless Zamzam water, right!" Bottom line, there was no good reason that a sirah took 150-200 years to be written down. We don't even have those originals, sowho knows what they said at the beginning.

[@BeyondFaith11]

The Armenian chronicler Sebeos mentions the name of the prophet as early as 661C.E. He claims: "At this time there was an Ishmaelite called Mahmet, a merchant; he presented himself as though at God's command, as a preacher, as the way of truth and taught them to know the God of Abraham, for he was very well informed and very well acquainted with the story of Moses". (Robert G. Hoyland. 'Seeing Islam as others saw it' p. 535). Robert Hoyland was a former student of Patricia Crone and given Crone's tenacity in trying to neglect everything 'Islamic' yet conceded to the point that the prophet existed, I don't have any idea why such a subject is still a point of contention. Anyway good video Paul!

[@MrHawkMan777]

I'm very on the fence about this issue. It seems impossible that a whole academic field can be completely wrong on such an important issue, but at the same time there are so many inconsistencies in the Standard Islamic narrative that I can't not entertain the possibility that he either didn't exist or was so different to the biographical accounts that we take for granted today. First of all the Qu'ran mentions Jesus way more times than Muhammad which is very strange to me and it never cleary demonstrates that the word Muhammad is actually a name for a single person but rather uses the term as a title as Muhammad means 'the praiseworthy'. Also there really is no evidence that Mecca existed before the 8th century AD. Ptolemy, who you mentioned as naming a place called 'Makoraba' in the 1st century, had never been to the Arabian peninsula before he made his map and was basing it of information he had heard and so his information of places outside of the Roman empire were very rough and what's interesting is that he draws a river just South of this 'Makoraba' which cannot be Mecca because there never has been a river anywhere near Mecca. It's very weak evidence and it's all people use to try and prove it's existence. However the most devastating work done to the standard narrative has come from German scholars, Gunther Lüling and Christoph Luxembourg who have shown that the mysterious verses of the Qu'ran, which make up a third of the text, were originally Aramaic Christian hymnals and lectionary texts which when translated into early Arabic and then later further altered due to the diacritical marks added into Arabic script later on, made these teeks indecipherable, hence why they are called mysterious. The fact that almost a third of the Qu'ran was originally Christian texts are just to obvious to ignore and I wish more people would address these scholars who are ignored because it's deemed 'unhelpful' in the dialogue with Muslims.

[@GRMNCVS]

I wonder if that's why Jerusalem was their original holy place of prayer

[@bobbyjeangayheart360]

There was a Mohammed on one coin in about the 680's with a cross, so this Mohammed was not the Hadith Islamic Mohammed. There was no Islamic Mohammed or any Caliphs on coins probably because there was no Islam, Caliphs, Mohammed or Muslims until the late 7th century. According to Islamic sources, at the death of Muhammad in 632, the word Islam, the word Muslim and the Quran itself didn't exist. The Khalif Usman destroyed all the original text before creating his own version, and Yazid, the second Khalif of the Omayyad dynasty tried to eradicate Muhammad's descendance at the battle of Karbala, October 10th 680. Muslims have a completely false understanding of the history and the origins of Islam.

[@fiftytwo_KG]

Archaeological Evidence: There are inscriptions and coins from the early Islamic period that mention Muhammad and his followers. One such example is the Hims Inscription (around 638 CE) which mentions the Prophet and the nascent Islamic community.

[@fiftytwo_KG]

Dome of the Rock Inscription (691-692 CE): Built in Jerusalem under the Umayyad Caliph Abd al-Malik, this structure has inscriptions referring to the Prophet Muhammad. These inscriptions, only a few decades after his death, mention Muhammad as God's messenger, solidifying his place in early Islamic tradition. Coins with Islamic Inscriptions: Coins minted in the early Islamic period, particularly under the rule of the Caliph Abd al-Malik (685-705 CE), bear inscriptions referring to Islam, Muhammad as the Prophet, and phrases like "There is no god but God, and Muhammad is His messenger." These coins circulated widely and were produced close to Muhammad’s lifetime, showing the spread of Islam and Muhammad's significant role. 2. Non-Muslim Writings Doctrina Jacobi (circa 634 CE): This is an anti-Muslim tract written by a Christian in Palestine only a few years after Muhammad's death. It mentions a "prophet" emerging among the Saracens (Arabs), who claims to be sent by God. Although the writer is critical, this reference aligns with the early Muslim belief that Muhammad was a prophet. Sebeos, Bishop of the House of Bagratunis (660s CE): This Armenian chronicle mentions a leader of the Ishmaelites (Arabs) who preached monotheism and launched conquests. Sebeos's account does not name Muhammad directly but describes the Arabs' prophet, indicating that by this time, Muhammad’s message and influence were recognized beyond the Arabian Peninsula. Chronicle of Thomas the Presbyter (640s CE): This Christian chronicle written in Syria references the Arab conquests and mentions that the Arabs were inspired by a "prophet" who led them to victories, further pointing to Muhammad’s existence and influence in guiding the Muslim community. 3. Archaeological Evidence and Written Documents The Hims Inscription (circa 634 CE): This inscription from Syria mentions the presence of Muslims and is dated very close to the Prophet Muhammad’s death. Although it does not mention Muhammad directly, it indicates the spread of the community he founded shortly after his lifetime. The Umayyad Caliphate’s Administrative Documents: Documents from the early caliphates reference Islamic beliefs and practices established by Muhammad. For example, papyri from Egypt dating to the 640s-660s CE document early Islamic governance practices, which were based on Muhammad’s teachings. 4. Contemporary Political and Religious Context Rapid Spread of Islam: The rapid expansion of Islamic rule and the early Caliphate after Muhammad’s death provide indirect evidence of his existence. Within a few decades, his teachings led to a united community that conquered vast territories across the Middle East, North Africa, and beyond. The structure and success of this early Islamic state suggest a strong foundational figure, widely believed by both Muslim and non-Muslim historians to be Muhammad. Christian and Byzantine Sources: Figures like John of Damascus, a Christian theologian writing in the 7th century, discuss Islam and Muhammad critically. Although sometimes incorrect or biased, such accounts acknowledge the existence of a leader named Muhammad and the rise of his followers. 5. Muslim Historical Texts from Muhammad’s Companions’ Lifetimes Early Islamic Historiography: The biographies (Sira) and hadiths (records of sayings and actions) about Muhammad were initially transmitted orally, then written down in the generations after his death. Figures such as Ibn Ishaq (8th century) and al-Tabari (9th century) compiled these early accounts, preserving oral traditions from Muhammad's companions and others who lived in his time. Summary While not all of these sources were written with the intent to document Muhammad’s life, they collectively provide evidence of Muhammad’s existence, his role as a religious leader, and his influence in unifying the Arabian Peninsula and initiating the expansion of Islam. Non-Islamic sources, dated inscriptions, early Islamic coins, and the rapid emergence of a distinctly Islamic state all support the reality of Muhammad as a historical figure whose influence quickly spread beyond Arabia

Thank you !! I think more research should be done on this subject. At the time of Muhammad, some Jewish tribes had settled in Medina (Yathrib) and around it. They build fortresses and were more advanced culturally and socially than the other tribes. Perhaps, their literature was not entirely hidden or extinct. It is also good to know why those jewish tribes had chosen to live among the gentiles in Arabia. Were they expecting the apparition of a promised prophet? Did they even call their children after his name (Machamad, Manachma, Menachem...)?

[@kaka09876543210]

Its not clear why the jewish medina reject muhammad but the reason the arabs yathrib tribes to follow muhammad because of the jews. The yathrib arab themselves that ask muhammad to move to yathrib. I suspect the reason jews rejection is mix of economic,prestige and power. They reject to follow him but knowledge that he is a prophet but not for jews.
