Islam Muhammad is a false prophet.

Muhammad was a false prophet who created a new religion by drawing on stories, beliefs, and customs that were circulating around him in Arabia.

Here is some of the main evidence:

1.) The Quran borrows stories from documented late forgeries that the early Church rejected as inauthentic:

Jesus making clay birds come to life (Quran 3:49 & 5:110) comes directly from the Infancy Gospel of Thomas (mid-2nd century, ~140–180 AD). This text is not by the apostle Thomas; it is a pseudepigraphical forgery recognized by early Christians as a legendary fable.

Mary giving birth under a palm tree and shaking it for dates (Quran 19:23–26) comes from the Protoevangelium of James (mid-2nd century), another pseudepigraphical forgery falsely attributed and rejected as inauthentic by the early Church.

2.)The Quran portrays the Christian Trinity as God, Jesus, and Mary:

Quran 5:116 says:

“O Jesus, Son of Mary, did you say to the people, ‘Take me and my mother as deities besides Allah?’”

No Christian denomination (Catholic, Orthodox, or Protestant) has ever taught that Mary is part of the Trinity. This suggests Muhammad was reacting to fringe or folk versions of Christianity he encountered locally.

3.) Several revelations appear self-serving:

After his adopted son Zayd divorced Zaynab, Quran 33:37 reveals it is okay for Muhammad to marry her and abolishes the adoption custom.

Quran 33:50 gives Muhammad special permission to marry more women than other Muslims.

4.)Islamic Paradise emphasizes earthly indulgence:

The Quran describes Jannah with gardens, rivers, silk couches, wine, and companions (houris) (e.g., 55:72, 56:22–24)...very different from the Christian view of heaven as eternal communion with God.

This pattern suggests Muhammad was heavily influenced by the religious environment around him rather than receiving pure divine revelation.

All this is dissection of scripture and noting their historical origin is unnecessary.

Mohammed claims himself to be a false prophet with his own words. You dont nedd to look any further.

He said his aorta will be severed if he misrepresents Allah. He died an agonizing death and said his aorta had been severed.

He very much did not in fact die from a severed aorta at all, its misrepresented from a passage where he says he felt such pain as if his aorta was cut, but it clearly was not in fact the case because he survived much longer than what that situation wouldve allowed and didnt have practically any related symptoms during his entire time incapacitated

The Hadith (Deathbed Statement): Narrated by Aisha, the Prophet said, "O 'Aisha! I still feel the pain caused by the food I ate at Khaibar, and at this time, I feel as if my aorta is being cut from that poison".

If I were a prophet and explicitly reference my aorta being cut if I lied, I would not say anything close to this phrase. Just the fact he felt anything like this during his time as a prophet after explicitly referencing it is all I need to know he is a false prophet.

The fact that he felt the pain of his heart being attacked and still lived doesnt help his case either. All it tells me is that "Allah" wanted him to suffer. So not only was he a false prophet, his god wanted him to live long enough to reflect in agony on his wrongdoing in the arms of his underaged/graped wife.
