Yes, that quote is from Richard Dawkins.

When someone mocks the Miสฟrฤj by saying, โ€œDo you really believe your Prophet flew on a winged horse? Thatโ€™s unscientificโ€ there are a few important points to clarify and respond to | thread ๐Ÿงต because one tweet isn't enough

1/ Image
First: the caricature itself.
The Burฤq is not described in Islamic sources as a โ€œwinged horse.โ€ It is described as a created being from Allah (Exalted), between a donkey and a mule in size, and it is not called a horse, nor is it described in authentic sources as having wings
2/
While correcting that detail does not address the objection yet, it does show that the criticism is often coming from a place of ignorance.

It's obvious that someone like Richard Dawkins is ignorant that's why he made this claim but it's embarrassing that people repeat it.

The Arguments of Fakhr al-Dฤซn al-Rฤzฤซ demonstrating That denying revelation diminishes Godโ€™s Majesty and fails to give Him His Due Worth, with some of my own thoughts on why I also find this view completely absurd | long thread ๐Ÿงต Image
The First Argument: Denying Prophethood Undermines Godโ€™s Wisdom and Legislation

Whoever denies prophethood and revelation has, in reality, failed to know God as He ought to be known. This is because such a position can only rest on one of two assumptions:
The first assumption:
That God has imposed no obligations upon humanity at all, no commands and no prohibitions.
This is clearly false, because it would imply that God has permitted everything, even the most reprehensible acts: reviling God, attributing to Him what is unbefitting

That claim is simply false. The prophecies of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) were fulfilled with remarkable and well-documented accuracy. I have written detailed threads highlighting some of these prophecies
Here are several threads Iโ€™ve written that document hundreds of fulfilled prophecies. Taken together, they constitute clear evidence that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was a true prophet:

The Concept of God in Islam is a Proof of islam | Thread ๐Ÿงต Image
When we reflect on natural theologyโ€”the rational arguments that prove the existence of Godโ€”we see that reason itself guides us to the truth of a Creator. From the contingency of existence, to the beginning of the universe, to the beauty that surrounds us, and to the fine-tuning
of the physical constants, the mind recognizes a cause beyond the world. Through reason and reflection, we can affirm that there is a Creator and that He must possess supreme attributes.
When we examine these arguments carefully, we find that they all lead to the existence of one
