This thread explains the nature of islam, and how some of the prominent jews in middle east, some Byzantine jews and Syrian priests were directly involved in making islam

First let's check a rather less known fact.The tribe of islam's prophet was jewish from the maternal side

We will look more into the jewish lineage of his cousin Ali later.

Aside from that, they all descend from a jewish woman called Salma bint Amr from a merchant family.

All this is the first reason muhammad was considered eligible by himself and the prominent jews (whom I will discuss later on), to become the new " prophet " of the judaic religion which would become islam

Now we will look into others who were involved in making islam

Muhammad would go on many business trips to nearby cities and countries from an early age as he and many in his tribe were merchants. He had become well-acquainted with members of certain Syriac churches and their members. Later they gave him ideas to include in islam's holy book

One piece of evidence about their involvement is the story of " Seven Sleepers " included in quran.The story is a christian one, but it is nowhere found in any christian source at the time, except for only one exclusively existing in Syria.There was only one way to learn about it

Later the members of these churches who were in contact with muhammad would help muslims in invading Syria.

The most prominent group involved in making islam aside from muhammad's, were jews related to persian jews and most importantly, a crypto-jew, Shellum Ben Hushiel.

Most know him by his crypto name, but his real identity is explained by several islamic and jewish sources. You can learn about him in this article, even though it is filled with so much of the typical victimization fiction, and justifying his actions.

Shellum was an extremist follower of Torah and he bore a deep hatred for Persia and Iranians, mostly due to religious reasons of the story of Haman, as he would relate them to Haman.

In fact, his views were so extreme and hateful, that his own father had found him dangerous

When he found the opportunity, he left his place and joined a group of Nestorian christians to find an opportunity to revolt against Persia.

By the way, much of the christian influence on islam also comes from Nestorian christianity.

Shellum visited Persia, under a crypto identity for himself as a Zoroastrian called " Roozbeh ". He studied persian warfare in depth, and he also tried to find any weak point about the Persian armies he could, be it in their fortresses, territories or armories.

He would join both muhammad and umar later on in their military campaigns, providing them with Persian - oriented strategies which completely caught the enemies off guard

Keep in mind during his stay in Persia he lived in the well-known jewish community " Yahudiyah " in isfahan

Shellum,the heir to the position of the Exilarch, who was his father,had a vision; To create a third major power in middle east which would destroy both the Persians and the Byzantines, giving high status to jews. He meant to fulfill the Judaic prophecies through this third power

He was also dissatisfied that jews didn't hold major positions in the Byzantine empire despite their spread of christianity

Note that jews in those areas did live wealthy lives and their communities did have protected status, but none of this was enough to those with his mindset

To achieve this goal, Shellum did not have a clear destination at first. So he returned to his Nestorian group and traveled to Syria. He was reminded of arabian jewish groups who visited Syria to trade there after seeing some of their merchant groups.

They were not alien to one another; In fact, these jewish communities were familiar with one another. Their common language is reported to have been Persian.

Most of these groups would later become the financiers of islam, muhammad and his military campaigns.

To discuss his visions,he needed to reach arabia and meet them in person. His nestorian group wouldn't follow, so he needed a plan

The popular islamic sources say he was suddenly enslaved and appeared in Arabia exactly where he wanted to be. This is way too convenient to be true

According to the untranslated arabic sources in the hands of my friends in their community,he asked his Nestorian group to sell him as a slave to one of the arabian jewish tribes.He told them he would eventually meet them several years later. There was a reason behind his request

He knew that a jew wouldn't keep or mistreat another jew, especially once he'd become aware of his background and vision.

He eventually ended up being given to a member of Banu Quraizah, who took him to Yathrib, late renamed Medina. This was the city of prominent jewish tribes.

Upon reaching Yathrib, he revealed his identity and plan to his master. Banu Quraizah was more of a traditional jewish community, and his ideas seemed dangerous in practice.

So the man in question became wary of Shullem, so he denied to grant his request.

He asked Shullem to work for him as a servant as they had paid for him, and in return he would protect him.

Shullem grew bitter at his master and Banu Quraizah. This hatred of them played a part in the extermination of the clan later on.

Back to talking about muhammad;Before meeting Shullem or the other Jews in Yathrib ( Medina ),the verses he promoted merely had Nestorian influences, one being his modified concept of hell he commonly used in quran, since he had merely studied under Syriac Nestorians until then

The current order of quran is not the original, but one applied by umar and uthman, later caliphs. But the original order can sill be found. Before muhammad's escape to to Yathrib, the verses are mostly about people he disliked or those who didn't convert being punished in hell

At first he wanted to make islam because:

-He was uncomfortable with native arabians and their beliefs due to his half jewish ancestry raised with their beliefs

-Arabia was the only place in the region without an official organized religion ready to be used as a political tool

He had studied under Syriac Nesotrians for that reason

In Mecca, the main center of Arabia at the time, most considered his " revelations " to be very hostile in nature, man-made and cruel, thus except for few, most had refused to follow him.

The real foundation of islam started in medina, after he united with Shellum and several Jewish tribes to start his military campaigns, but that's for another thread. I'll need to summarize those events from the writings of my researcher friends in ME

Thanks for your reading

PS: Links to wikipedia and other sites is merely shared for the sake of ease of access. The authors have all the real sources as books available with them.

Just saying this in case some trolls try to say, " Oh you got all this from wikipedia online lol "

The sources of some of this info come from untranslated arabic works banned in those countries. The passages of some sources were too long to be included as pictures or links

But references to most of the info can be easily found in mainstream islamic works, let alone other ones

PS: I mistyped the name Shallum in several posts because his name had different spellings in different sources. It'd be a bother to delete the whole thread and correct the spelling, so just know that

I also forgot to add the picture for this one:
