If one was to ask why a person would make claim to prophethood and lie, their answer might be one of two: Is it possible for him to tell a consistent lie for 23 years, a lie so monstrous that it would make him a social outcast, when he was never known to have lied even once about anything? It�€™s simply against the psychology of liars. It was due to this reason they named him �€œAl-Ameen�€ï¿½, or �€œThe Trustworthy�€ï¿½ He was strongly opposed to lying and warned against it. Before Islam, he was well-known to his own people to be trustworthy and reliable, an honest man, a person of integrity, who did not lie. His life story is preserved book open for everyone to read. But what we see in reality is that the scripture he brought declares freedom from internal inconsistencies, his message remained consistent throughout his mission, and even in the midst of a battle, he proclaimed his prophethood His message, delivered over two decades, will contradict itself sometimes. Is it possible for a liar to claim for a period of 23 years with unwavering certitude that he is a prophet like Abraham, Moses, and Jesus, that there will be no more prophets after him, and that the scripture he has been sent with will remain his lasting miracle till the end of time?Ī liar will falter sometimes, perhaps with a friend, maybe with his family members, somewhere he will make a mistake. We will also look at what the Quran has to say on the matter. Only if all other possibilities are exhausted can one reasonably claim that the only possibility left is that he was true in what he claimed. We will begin by the assuming the latter and investigate all possibilities raised by skeptics of past and present, discussing some of their misconceptions. Either he was true in his claim or he was not. As discussed earlier, Muhammad made the claim, ˜I am Gods Messenger.
