🔥 The Satanic Verses: Confirmation That Muhammad Was Deceived

We’ve already established that Muhammad feared he was possessed and attempted suicide. Now we move from fear to evidence — an incident recorded in early Islamic history where Muhammad openly delivered verses from Satan, thinking they came from Allah.

This is the logical next step in the unraveling of Muhammad’s claim to prophethood.


📜 The Satanic Verses Incident

According to the earliest biographies of Muhammad — Ibn Ishaq, al-Waqidi, al-Tabari, and others — the story goes like this:

Muhammad was under pressure. The Quraysh tribe resisted his message. Then one day, he recited Surah 53 (An-Najm) and included the following:

“Have you considered al-Lat and al-‘Uzza, and Manat, the third, the other? These are the exalted gharaniq (cranes), and their intercession is to be hoped for.”

These lines praised three pagan goddesses. The Quraysh were thrilled — they prostrated in unity with Muhammad.

But later, Muhammad retracted the verses and claimed:

Satan made me say those words.
Allah then allegedly “corrected” the revelation, abrogating the satanic lines and replacing them with condemnation of the false gods.


📚 Sources That Confirm the Story

Ibn Ishaq (Earliest Biography of Muhammad)

“Satan cast on his tongue... words of praise for their idols.”
Sirat Rasul Allah, Ibn Ishaq (translated by A. Guillaume, p. 165)

Al-Tabari (Most Famous Qur'anic Commentator)

“The devil interjected two phrases on Muhammad’s tongue... and he recited them as part of the Qur'an.”
Tarikh al-Tabari, Vol. VI, pp. 107–110

Al-Qurtubi, al-Baydawi, and Others

Even later respected Islamic scholars affirmed it happened — they just try to reinterpret or downplay its significance.


🤯 Implications: A Prophet Who Recites Satan’s Words

1. Muhammad Could Not Tell the Difference Between Allah and Satan

Let’s state the obvious:

If a prophet cannot distinguish God’s voice from Satan’s, he is not a prophet.

This is not a misunderstanding. Muhammad literally put Satan’s words into the Qur'an, thinking they were divine revelation.

This directly contradicts the Qur’an’s own standard:

“If he (Muhammad) had made up about Us some false sayings, We would have seized him by the right hand and cut off his aorta.”
Surah 69:44–46

But when he actually did speak falsely — nothing happened. No punishment. No divine retribution. Just a convenient excuse: “Satan tricked me.”


2. This Event Confirms Muhammad’s Fear of Demonic Deception Was Valid

This incident validates Muhammad’s earlier terror in the cave. He was right to fear being deceived.
The “Satanic Verses” were not just a hypothetical — they actually entered the Qur'an, even if only briefly.

The connection is terrifying:

  • In the cave: “Am I possessed?”

  • Later: “Satan made me speak false verses.”

That’s not a prophet being guided by God — that’s a man being played by an unseen spirit.


3. Muhammad Became His Own Qur'anic Warning

Ironically, the Qur'an itself warns against being influenced by Satan:

“Never did We send a messenger or a prophet before you, but when he desired, Satan threw in some suggestion.”
Surah 22:52

This verse is widely interpreted by Muslim scholars as a post hoc justification for the Satanic Verses — in other words, “it happens to everyone.”

But that admission is catastrophic.

Islam is supposedly the final, perfect revelation, and yet its prophet was:

  • Temporarily under Satan’s influence

  • Delivered false scripture

  • Needed correction after the fact

What kind of final prophet is vulnerable to demonic tampering?


⚔️ Christian Apologetic Response: Muhammad Fulfills Biblical Warnings

The Bible clearly forewarns of men like Muhammad:

“But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be accursed!”
Galatians 1:8

“For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, masquerading as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.”
2 Corinthians 11:13–14

This is exactly what happened:

  • An “angel” appears in a cave.

  • The recipient fears it’s a demon.

  • Later, he speaks Satan’s words as part of God’s revelation.

  • He retracts them only after being exposed.


🔚 Conclusion: Islam’s Prophet Was Deceived from Day One

Let’s summarize the full chain of events:

EventSpiritual SourceOutcome
Muhammad’s first revelationFear and confusionThought he was possessed
Post-revelation despairMental anguishTried to kill himself
Later “revelations”False versesRecited Satanic scripture
Allah’s responseNo punishmentSatan is excused

This is not the life of a prophet protected by God.
This is a man caught in a web of spiritual deception, whose fears of demonic influence were tragically justified.


💥 Final Challenge to Muslims

If you admit that Muhammad:

  • Feared demonic possession,

  • Delivered Satanic verses,

  • And failed to distinguish between Allah and Iblis…

Then how can you still believe he was “the best of mankind” and “the seal of the prophets”?

Any religion built on such a foundation is not divine — it is demonic deception masquerading as light.
