โIt may be truly affirmed that of all known legislators and conquerors, not one can be named, the history of whose life has been written with greater authenticity and fuller detail, than that of Mohammedโ
He writes on how in Islฤm we have History and how what's historical can be easily distinguished from what's not and that we know about the prophet Muแธฅammad๏ทบ just as we know about famous figures like Luther and Milton
In his book "history of the Islamic peoples" page 66 (in my arabic translation of the book) he says the Muslims narrated the actions and sayings of the prophet ๏ทบ with accuracy and in details.
In his book ุชุงุฑูุฎ ุงูุชู ุฏู ุงูุฅุณูุงู ู volume 3 under the heading ุงููุณุงุจูู ุงูุนุฑุจ he praised the accuracy, scrutiny ,and strong memorization of Muslims in regards to their religious narrations

I was contemplating this verse from the Qur'an (6:52) and found that it proves the truthfulness of the Prophet ๏ทบ and his prophethood | short thread ๐งต
This verse was revealed to the Messenger of Allah ๏ทบ, regarding a group of weak Muslims. The polytheists said to the Prophet ๏ทบ, "If you expel these people from you, we will visit you and attend your gatherings!"
These polytheists were the nobles and wealthy in their society, while the poor people they referred to were from the lower classes of society, and some were even slaves.
The Foretold Future: 14 Prophecies That Prove Muhammad ๏ทบ Was a True Prophet | thread (๐งต)
1. Introduction: A Simple Question
Prophet Muhammad ๏ทบ made hundreds of prophecies about the future. If he were merely guessing, he should have been wrong many times. Yet, every one of his prophecies came true.
Statistically, this is nearly impossible unless he had knowledge beyond human capability.
How can we explain this? Letโs use logic, probability, and real examples to find out.
Two Masterful Linguistic Marvels in Qurสพฤn 2:93โA Testament to Its Divine Origin | thread ๐งต
First read Qurสพฤn 2:93:
The first marvel is:
"ุณูู ูุนูููุง ููุนูุตูููููุง"
"We have heard and disobeyed"
The Qurสพฤn uses an Arabic phrase that mirrors the original Hebrew phrase found in Deuteronomy 5:27, but with its meaning reversed as a response to what they falsely claimed. this video explains it simply:
In this แธฅฤdฤซth, there is a prophecy and a proof of the Prophethood of Prophet Muแธฅammad ๏ทบ, as he informed us of the future, which is the coming of the rejecters of แธฅฤdฤซth before their existence (or as they falsely call themselves, "Quranists"). This was something unimaginable!
Especially to the companions who obeyed the Prophet ๏ทบ even in the smallest matters, let alone in the legal rulings!
It also serves as a response to a weak argument they use, which is that the rulings not mentioned in the Qur'an aren't binding for them! So all of Fiqh basically!
The Prophet ๏ทบ replied that this is inconsistent because both the Qur'an and the Sunnah are revelations from Allah ๏ทป conveyed to us through the Prophet ๏ทบ. Thus, one cannot accept one and entirely deny the other.
What is happening today in Palestine is proof of the truth of Islam and the Prophethood of the prophet Muแธฅammad ๏ทบ. Let me explain how! Thread (๐งต)
The prophet ๏ทบ authentically said the following:
The meaning of this แธฅadฤซth is that circumstances will arise that prevent Muslims from freely accessing Bayt al-Maqdis, to the point that a person would wish to have even a small house or the smallest spot of land (even the length of a horse's tether) from which they could
