As an Ex-Muslim, let me explain Muhammad and “The Satanic Verses” in the Quran.
This will shock you.
was a good prophet until he wasn’t. I wanted to believe he was sincere, that maybe he was just misunderstood, maybe he repented later on in his life.
But the more I studied the timeline of his ministry, the harder it was to ignore the shift.
Early Muhammad in Mecca preached peace, talked about one God, and tried to win over Jews and Christians. But later in Medina, that’s when it changed.
Suddenly, it transitioned to power and polygamy and violence, and revelations started sounding a lot like personal convenience. Then there’s a part nobody really wants to talk about in apologetics – “the Satanic verses.”
Ibn Ishaq, Islam’s earliest biographer, says Muhammad delivered verses that glorified pagan idols and then blamed it on Satan. And you tell me, how does a prophet mistake a demon’s voice for God’s?
Imagine if Paul or Peter did that.
Imagine if Jesus said, “oops, that part was from the devil.”
You would never trust that message again. But with Muhammad, there’s a double standard where you’re not allowed to question. Even when he married a child, took extra wives, and had people killed, you’re told to submit.
And that’s when I knew.
A real prophet doesn’t serve himself.
He sacrifices himself to serve others.
Only one man in history never changed under pressure and still laid down his life.
And that’s Jesus Christ.
