Muhammad's Ashtiname Letter is a FRAUD! (#12)

It turns out that Muhammad's supposed 'ASHTINAME LETTER' is nothing more than a fraud! Muslims are desperate to find any reference to Muhammad in the 7th century, and so have put forward the Egyptian 'Ashtiname Letter' as proof. Yet, once you look at it, you can see that it has many problems: 1) It is supposedly dated to 625 AD, yet the Traditions say no letters were sent until 628 AD, and only to Medina. 2) There are 47 writings listed by Ibn Sa’d (845 AD), but the Ashtiname isn’t mentioned. 3) A Minaret is pictured, which were created in the 9th c., but not used until the 11th c. 4) The word 'Sultan' is referred to, but wasn’t used until Mahmud of  Ghazna (998–1030 AD), 350 years later. 5) Mosques are mentioned, yet these were not in Egypt until 641 AD, & the Jizyah rates weren’t decided by Christians. 6) The term ‘Malak Muqarrah’ (Angel of Proximity), used here is not known until the 1st Sufi writings of Mutannabi, who lived in 965 AD, 340 yrs. later. 7) It is written in Christian, Egyptian, and Medieval Arabic, though these were not used by any Arabs in the Hejaz. 8) Dhimmi Laws are referred to, yet they weren't initiated until centuries later (i.e. repairing Churches, and forced marriages). Conclusion: In short, the monks at St. Catherine's Monastery in the 16th c. needed protection from the marauding Muslims all around them, so they forged this letter, and then added Muhammad's name, and his hand, to give it authority in order to safeguard their Monastery. Thus, it’s an 800-900 year-old fraud, and cannot by used by Muslims to prove Muhammad’s existence! © Pfander Centre for Apologetics - US, 2021 (49,330) Music: Reaching the Sky, by Alexander Nakarada, from filmmusic-io
