Ayoon Wa Azan (Islam Rose In the Broad Daylight of History) (Jihad el-Khazen)
Published in AL HAYAT on 12 - 04 - 2012

Prophet Muhammad bin Abdullah bin Abdul Muttalib existed in the broad day light of history, alone of all other prophets, and yet I read this title: Did Muhammad Exist?
Just like that, Muhammad is mentioned without any titles or honors. The title belongs to a book that will be published next spring, written by Robert Spencer, who is active in a Likudnik American website that attacks Islam and Muslims, with a special focus on Sharia. Spencer questioned the existence of the Prophet Muhammad, and said that the first chapter of his book is entitled “the Man Who Was Not There”. The gang of impostors is also holding debates on television and the radio, and on the internet, and a new campaign is waged every day.
But everything that has to do with the Prophet Muhammad and his message is well known. There might be some disagreement over a day or a year, but it remains within the scope of the details agreed upon.
His name is Muhammad bin Abdullah bin Abdul Muttalib. His ancestry all the way to Quraish is indisputable. He was born in the year 571 AD (I used the Gregorian calendar to make it easy for foreigners to understand). His father died before he was born, his mother Amina died when he was six years old, and he was cared for by his grandfather Abdul Muttalib and then by his uncle Abu Talib.
At 25, he married Khadija Khuwaylid, who was 40, and had all his sons and daughters with her, with the exception of Ibrahim, who was the son of Maria al-Qibtiyya. While Khadija was alive, he did not marry anyone else. He married eleven women in total, and when he died, he was survived by nine wives. Khadija was the first person to believe in his message.
The Muslims migrated from Mecca to Abyssinia to escape the persecution of Quraish twice: The first wave comprised 11 Meccan families and the second took place in 615 AD, comprising 83 families. The first bit of revelation came on 27 Ramadan, in 610 AD, or on the Night of Destiny, when Prophet Muhammad was in the cave of Hira. The revelation said: “Read, In the Name of your Lord, Who has created (all that exists)” – from Surat al-Alaq [the Clot].
In 622 AD, he migrated from Mecca, an event marked by the Hijri calendar that began on the date that corresponded to 16/6/622 AD. The Battle of Badr took place in 624, the Battle of Uhud in 625, the Battle of the Trench in 627, the Treaty of Hudaibiya was concluded in 628, and the Conquest of Mecca came in 630, or the year idols were destroyed in the Holy Mosque. The Prophet then passed away on 8/6/633.
The transcribers of revelation are also known along with their ancestries, and so are the narrators of the Hadith [the sayings of the Prophet]. Even the names of his minders and wet nurses are known, and stories such as his travels with his uncle Abu Talib to the Levant and his meeting with the monk Buheira.
All of the above is well established, or is documented in unimpeachable references. Yet some American Jews come and ask did Muhammad exist, questioning facts of history, religion and facts about the Prophet, for the main reason that their religion and their prophets are false, so they thus attempt to transfer the lies onto others.
Perhaps I will one day write a book on the subject, where I would state my opinion about them candidly in a manner that I cannot do in a newspaper. Indeed, all what we know about Islam and its prophet is factually established, while all what has reached us about Judaism and its prophets are lies unsupported by any archaeological traces. Islam rose in the broad daylight of history, and Judaism was written 500 to 1000 years after its revelation.
I dare say that Judaism's prophets, specifically those mentioned in the five books of Moses in the Torah, never existed. I challenge historians and archaeologists around the world to come up with one shred of conclusive evidence of their existence. I also want to note that the celebration of the Christian Eastern and Western churches of Easter last week and this week coincided with the Jewish festival of Passover, which commemorates the story of the Exodus, in which the ancient Israelites were freed from slavery. But this is a lie of the Hebrew Bible that did not stop Ari Ratner, a Jewish American writer in the Los Angeles Times, from comparing their festival to the Youth Revolution in Egypt. To this I say we don't know you, and we don't want you.
I argue that Islam's prophets are different from Judaism's prophets, and I call on Muslim scholars to distinguish between our prophets and theirs. Reuters published a report on the top ten countries to spend Easter in, and Lebanon ranked third. But Israel was absent from the list despite its occupation of Jerusalem, or perhaps was absent because of its desecration of the Holy City.
There are no traces in Jerusalem or indeed anywhere in Palestine of Jewish kingdoms, and no archaeological traces either in Egypt or Sinai, and I challenge Dr. Zahi Hawass to show me otherwise. I also call on Muslim scholars to underscore the difference between the prophets mentioned in the Quran and those of the false Jewish history.
I would not have delved into this subject were it not for their chutzpah (dare I say blasphemy?) that reached such an extent that they have questioned the existence of Prophet Muhammad, which is a historical fact, and overlook their own prophets, who only exist in biblical myths. I also cannot understand the silence of the Muslims who are provoked by cartoons but not by claims denying the existence of their prophet.
I do not know whether I will return to this topic in the future or not, and I hope I won't have to, but the issue did provoke me hence this article today.
