The Jews, taking pride in being the covenant children of Abraham before Jesus, the Christ, told them who is greater by the asseverative, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am” (John 8:58). Why would Muhammad claim that his Islamic missionary prophetic office predates the creation of Abraham? Again I turn to the Bible for the answer – for Scripture must explain Scripture. John 17:24 “Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.” Before the creation of anything at all, the Son had fellowship with the Father; which Muhammad could not lay claim to. Methinks Allah is just one individual. Where, I need to ask, cometh the plurality of Allah to be accorded the plural pronoun of “We”? Islamism will claim, “It’s in reverence to, La hawla wa la quwwata illa Billah”! I do not see any reverential sense in it. Study older manuscripts of the Qur’an, and you will not miss out on the plurality of the deities of Islam. Find out things about one of Petra's earliest chief among the gods of old Islam called Dushara. Dushara’s temple stood more imposing before the first and old Kaaba. The Meccan Kaaba is not the original; it is about the fourth or so. Therefore, I ask, “Why would Islam teach that the Meccan Kaaba is the handwork of Abraham and Ishmael?” The answer is simply cheap propagandist recognition of Islam. Read More
