Muhammad, Not Einstein, Discovered the Theory of Relativity - Who Knew!

Picture of Muhammad's Night Journey

Sometime around the year 621, twelve years after he became a prophet, Muhammad said that he was physically flown through the evening sky 775 miles from Mecca to Jerusalem and back again in one night on his winged horse, Lightning (al-Buraq in Arabic). 

I don't believe anything Muhammad said, especially his silly Night Journey (Isra) and his Seven Heavens (Mi'raj). I'm merely demonstrating that a person who believes such nonsense needs to ask themselves if they truly accept as a foundational belief of their religion that a "heavenly rooster with rubies and pearls on its wings" crows in one of the Seven Heavens to wake up God every morning or that "certain men and faeries" can't hear the rooster crow so when he stops crowing they won't be upset because they couldn't hear him anyway. That story is in one of the Seven Heavens (which I will eventually tell you) but Muhammad's Night Journey is equally filled with such foolish nonsense. 

Observations and Comments on Muhammad's Fake Night Journey and His Fake Seven Heavens

Muhammad takes off for Jerusalem.

Continued from HERE, HERE, HERE and HERE with Muhammad's description of his Night Journey from Humphrey Prideaux's The True Nature of Imposture Fully Displayed in the Life of Mohamet. Keep in mind that Muhammad fabricated his Night Journey (Mi'raj in Arabic) which has no transcendent imagery whatsoever. If there was supernatural intervention it was demonic.

If Christians said that Jesus flew into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday on a winged horse with the face of a woman and landed on the Temple Mount we would be laughed out of existence. Obviously, those who believe in Muhammad’s claim to have traveled to Jerusalem either in body or in spirit rely on blind faith rather than common sense. After reading Humphrey Prideaux’s account of The Life of Mohamet, there is simply no compelling reason to believe that Muhammad’s Night Journey was anything other than a dream, unless of course Gabriel, as written before, is Satan in disguise which then makes the Night Journey demonic in origin, and Muhammad the prophet of Satan.

Muhammad Chats With Allah Then Flies Back to Mecca on Lightning

Continued from HERE and HERE and HERE with Muhammad's description of his Night Journey from Humphrey Prideaux's Life of Mohamet. Keep in mind that Muhammad fabricated his Night Journey (Mi'raj in Arabic) which has no transcendent imagery whatsoever.

Remember that Abraham left Ur of the Chaldeans in

Mesopotamia where the moon god Allah was worshiped. He 

went to Canaan to worship the One True God. Also remember 

Joshua 24:14 - "...put away the gods which your fathers 

worshiped in Mesopotamia."

We’re almost finished with this tortuous history of Muhammad’s fabricated Night Journey. As foolishly irrational as the Night Journey is, especially Lightning, it’s important to know that Muhammad's Night Journey (Mi'raj) is believed by all Muslims to be true, the proof being that today the Islamic Dome of the Rock stands on Jerusalem’s Jewish Temple Mount, built directly on top of the place where Muhammad said he landed on Lightning and which apparently has Muhammad’s footprint there. In addition, there’s a sacred space on the Temple Mount where Lightning was ostensibly tied to a rock while he waited for the angel Gabriel and Muhammad to ascend through the seven heavens, converse with Allah, then return again.

Muhammad's First Heaven and the Celestial Rooster Angel

Islam's Chief Angel of the Roosters

Continued from yesterday's post HERE with Muhammad's description of his Night Journey from Humphrey Prideaux's Life of 
Mohamet. (The next three posts in the series are HERE, HERE and HERE.)

When Muhammad and Gabriel arrived at the first heaven, Gabriel knocked at the gate, told the porter who he was and that he had brought God's friend with him by divine command. The gates, which Muhammad described as huge, were immediately opened.

Muhammad said that the first heaven was made of pure silver with stars hanging by chains of pure gold, each being as large as Mount Noho near Mecca in Arabia. In these stars angels guarded heaven to keep devils from approaching for fear they might overhear and know what was done in heaven.

On first entering heaven, Muhammad said he met an old decrepit man who turned out to be Adam, who immediately embraced him and gave thanks to God for so great a son as Muhammad, then asked Muhammad to pray for him.
