πŸ“š Final Observation

These red flags aren’t from biased sources. They’re from:

  • The Qur’an

  • Sahih Bukhari & Muslim

  • Ibn Ishaq (Sirat Rasul Allah)

  • Early Tafsir and Hadith books trusted across Sunni Islam


πŸ’₯ Final Word

“Islam claims Muhammad is the perfect human being.

But if perfection includes child brides, assassinated poets, sex with captives, and personal divine exceptions —

Then either the standard of morality has collapsed,

Or Islam never had one.

These red flags aren’t minor blemishes —

They’re systemic ethical failures written into the foundation of Islam itself.”
