Is Muhammad a Prophet of God? ( 1st Rebuttal - 3 of 5 )

Was Muhammad (pbuh) a true prophet of God? Was he a mercy for humanity? Did Muhammad (pbuh) author the Qur'an? For Muslims, the question of Muhammad's true prophethood is indisputable. They firmly believe that he is a true prophet and Messenger of God, through whom God's divine revelations throughout history were culminated and perfected, thus forming the universal divine message to mankind. For critics of Islam, generally, it is Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), rather than God, who is the founder of Islam, the author of its teachings, and the composer of its holy book, the Qur'an. A sincere and "neutral" researcher examine both claims and arrive at his own conclusions. Representing the Muslim perspective was Sheik Jalal Abualrub: Sheik Abualrub has written hundreds of articles defending Islam, He is translator of Islamic works, He is highly recommended by the American Muslim Association of North America.
