أَسْبَابُ اسْتِبْعَادِ رِسَالَةِ سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ
Reasons for regarding Muhammad’s prophethood as unlikely.
Objections to Muhammad’s mission were described as emerging from differences between familiar religious practice and a new revealed dispensation, or from assumptions that prophetic authority must remain within a particular historical community.
Five headings are given: differences in the prophets’ marital practices, including marrying many or few; differing legal prescriptions; perceived variations in God’s dealings with prophets; the emergence of a prophet among Ishmael’s descendants after many Israelite prophets; and related objections.
A careful response separates continuity of customary practice from the actual evidence for a prophetic claim.
