Watch MEL SHUT DOWN MUHAMMAD HISTORICALLY in 12 minutes @ Sp. Corner!

Mel from Ireland (his YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@IslamicOrigins/videos) takes us through a sequence of historically documented MHMDs which led up to the Abbasid MHMD (notice, not the Islamic "Muhammad", because that MHMD didn't exist that early). When we look at what history tells us, according to Mel we find out that: 1) Today, the name "Muhammad" includes 4 consonants (mim, ha, mim, dal = m,h,m,d), and 3 vowels (Dhamma = 'u', and 2 Fatahs = 'a'). But vowels didn't exist in the 7th century Arabic alphabet. They weren't introduced for another 100 - 200 years later. So, there was no name Muhammad in the 7th century. There was only MHMD, the 4 consonants, in any written text. Consequently, we have been looking for the wrong word all this time. We should be looking for the MHMD instead. 2) The word MHMD was first introduced in Ugaritic (in Syria) in 1400 BC. At that time it meant "The Desired One". It then took on differing meanings, including "The Blessed One", or "The Praised One", or "The Altogether Lovely", and even "The anointed One". So, it was always a title, and never a name. 3) It was borrowed by the Jews in Hebrew, and can be found in the Bible itself; in fact, in the Old Testament it is written 11 times. In Song of Songs 5:16 we find the MHMD is "The Altogether Lovely One", referring to Solomon, but promising the Messiah Himself, who is yet to come. So, in order to be the "MHMD" you have to be the promised Jewish Messiah, and thus the descendant of David. 4) In the 4th century, the Christian's church father St. Ambrose, picked up this theme, declaring that the MHMD, who is the Messiah, the anointed one, is indeed Jesus Christ. So, now by the 4th century the Jews are looking for their MHMD to appear the first time, while the Christians are waiting for their MHMD to appear the 2nd time. 5) In Jewish thinking there are actually 2 Messiahs (2 MHMDs); the first MHMD ben Joseph, who would be the suffering servant, followed by the second MHMD ben David, who would be the conquering king. Christians believe that both are found in Jesus Christ. 6) In 523 AD a Jewish inscription from Najran (in present day Yemen) refers to the MHMD. But how can this be referring to the Muslim 'Muhammad' since this is 50 years before he is even born, and he never lived in Yemen, South Arabia? 7) Then in 663 AD the Umayyad Caliph Muawiya, in Damascus, mints a coin with himself pictured on the front, holding a cross in his hand and another cross placed on his head. On the back side of the coin we find a third cross, and the name MHMD printed at the bottom. This can't be the Muslim prophet, Muhammad, because clearly it is a Christian coin. The MHMD printed on the bottom has to be Jesus, the anointed one, the Messiah; in other words, the Christian MHMD. 8) In the 660s Muawiya has an inscription erected at the dam of Ta'if with his name written in Greek (notice not in Arabic), and he refers to himself as the "Abdallah", which means "The servant of God", who is the "Commander of the believers". But which believers? Look at the upper left corner of the inscription and you will see a cross; thus, he is the commander of the Christians. So, both the coins and the inscriptions clearly state that this MHMD is Jesus Himself, the anointed one, the Messiah. 9) Meanwhile the Jews in the 7th century claimed that their exilarchs (the Jewish Arab authorities in what is today Iraq) were each the Messiah whom they were waiting for. In 614 AD the Exilarch Nehemiah ben Husiel died, and the Jews attach MHMD before his name, claiming he was the Messiah. 10) His brother Salman al-Farsi is then given the title MHMD, becoming the next Messiah. In the 7th century, whenever an exilarch dies, the subsequent exilarch took on the title of MHMD. According to Chinese sources from that time, there were between 5 - 12 different Jewish exilarchs in Iraq who took on the title MHMD. Notice that none of these Jewish MHMDs were in the central part of Arabia called the Hijaz, where Mecca and Medina are located, because there is no WATER there. They were all 1000 miles further north, where water is plentiful. 11) The Abbasids came to power in the 8th century. They didn't have their own prophet, nor their own revelation. So, they then introduce a 3rd MHMD, who is their prophet, their Messiah, as a fulfillment of the Jewish and Christian MHMDs; and thus he becomes "The Seal of the Prophets". The Chinese claim this happens in 756 AD. 12) Once they have their own MHMD, who they call 'Muhammad'; he needs a revelation. That is why all of the Qur'ans begin to appear at this time, and his "Back-story" (the Sira, Hadith, Tafsir & Tarikh) are written and codified a century later, in the 9th - 10th centuries. CONCLUSION: The Muhammad of Islam is a complete phantom, created in the Abbasid period to fulfill the earlier Jewish and Christian MHMDs (Messiahs), who is yet to appear. © Pfander Centre for Apologetics & Polemics - US, June 23, 2024 (107,420)
