Sayyidinah Muhammad SallallahuAlayhiWaSallam

Now comes the part where we prove that our master Muhammad P.B.U.H was truly a Messenger of Allah.

We shall begin with evaluating the possibilities:

1. He P.B.U.H was insincere hence forged the Qur’an

2. He P.B.U.H was sincere but was deluded by experiances

3. He P.B.U.H was sincerely and truly bringing revelation from the Creator

We shall begin by disproving the first. For a person to be forging a book and fervently spreading a message which he was insincere about, he must have a good reason to do so. If one studies the biography of Him P.B.U.H, and reads the Qur’an with it’s context, one will not be able to find a single solid reason for forging a message. If one were to say that he wanted leadership, we would ask why? He clearly led an ascetic lifestyle which negates the notion that it was a material persuit. It is thus clear that he was sincere, disproving the premise for the “forgery” scenario.

Now we are left only with the last two possibilities. If we were to consider the second possibility, what could he be deluded about? If one were to suggest a demonic character of some sort, we would say, analyse his life and you will find no such influence. We are then left with only the possibility of his message, the Qur’an, being sent to him by other than him i.e. revelation. When we say prophet we mean precisely this, that he received revelation from his creator.

In this simple manner we have proven to the fair-minded that Sayyidinah Muhammad Salawat Rabbi wa Salamuhu Alayh was truly a messenger of the creator…

The Creator Vs the Creation

As we have shown earlier, creation is made up of a changing series of events. We have also shown that the creator did not have a beginning and is eternal, hence is not made up of a series of events. Hence, we can conlude that the creator is utterly dis-simillar from his creation in that he is the Necessary existant as everything exists through his knowledge, power, will and life whereas the creation are all in a state of possible existance since the creator could will to end/destroy any of the creation.

The Beginninglessness and Endlessness of the Creator

If we were to accept that for the world to exist, which it does, there must be a creator, which was illustrated in the previous conclusion, then we are faced with two pseudo-possibilities:

1. The creator had a creator who had a creator and so on which would be impossible since this cycle would have to terminte upon the creation of this world.

2. The creator is eternal, without beginning. In other words he is the necessary existant – Wajib al-Wujud.

Hence, it is clear that the second possibility is the truth.

As for endlessness, as we have proven earlier, anything that changes has a beginning. We have also proved that the creator did not have  a beginning. If he had an end, that would be a change, hence he would have to have had a beginning which we have shown to be impossible earlier. Hence, it is clear that he is Endless.

The Existance of a Creator : On the scale of Logic

We base our conclusion that a Creator indeed does exist on the following premises:

1. We are existing at the moment

2. Before we were in existance, a series of events took place, leading up to our existance. (The passing of these events are what we measure in time.

We are compelled to acknowledge that the series of events had a beginning, since if we were to say that they are eternal, we would have to say that eternity came to an end upon our birth and this is a contradiction in terms.

We could further illustrate the point like this: It is like if someone said “this car will only get to its destination after its wheels have spun infinitely many times,” and then claimed that the car arrived at its destination. It is clear, however, that the car could never have gotten to its destination if an infinite number of spins was the condition for its arrival.

It is thus clear that these series of events had a beginning, hence gad a cause, hence the need for them to be brought into existence through something other than itself, thus the need for a creator…

If anyone can detect any logical flaws in my argument, please leave a comment. Warning: Not all comments will be accepted.

consider
the
statement,
“you
need
10
steps
to
reach
that
wall,”
which
means
it
is

not
impossible
to
reach
the
wall.
As
for
the
statement,
“you
need
infinite

to
reach

wall,”
it
means
that
reaching

is
impossible,
as
it
is
impossible
to
finish
infinite

before
reaching
the

Similar
to
this
is
the
one
who
claims
that
the

for
it
would
be
like
saying

which
is
a

and
thus
impossible.
