Muslims claim that Muhammad received visits from the Archangel Gabriel while in the cave who revealed the Quran to him but we know that it could not have been the Archangel Gabriel because Gabriel would not have revealed a falsehood to anyone. Therefore, was Muhammad actually deceived by a demon or possibly Satan himself?
 
"…for Satan himself transformeth himself into an angel of light. "
2 Cor 11:14

This is very true Mickey. I wonder if maybe it was actually Satan or a demon appearing to him but claiming to be the Archangel Gabriel? I am certain it wasn’t an angel that appeared to him unless it was an angel of Satan. No angel would have told him that Jesus isn’t God or that Jesus wasn’t crucified. So either a demon appeared to him or he was delusional or something. But its weird how he gained so many followers. It seems to me that he was not delusional because surely his followers would have saw this and not followed him had they thought he was delusional. So this leads me to believe that he was deceived by Satan or a demon.
 
I assume somewhere there is a Muslim message board post asking the same about St Paul?
 
“But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach a gospel to you besides that which we have preached to you, let him be anathema.” Gala. 1:8(DRA) I’d have to say yes. Islam teaches several doctrines that are clearly not biblical.
 
I don’t know about you lot but I haven’t seen Satan at obvious work lately.
 
Probably. Either that or he made Islam up for his own gain.

But if he was deceived by Satan, then Satan sure got what he wanted. Islam has over 1 billion followers.

All of them deceived, falling astray from truth. Pray for them.
 
Didn’t Jesus warn us to beware of false phrophets?

I can’t think of a better example of a false prophet.
 
Since neither angels or devils can do anything without God’s consent, I don’t see how it makes much difference whether Mohammed was contacted by Gabriel or Satan posing as Gabriel (if he was contacted by anyone/thing at all).
 
Islam teaches that Jesus is a mere prophet and not God. They also teach that among all prophets, Mohammed is the greatest. Thus, making “man GREATER than God…”

No angel of God would communicate that, definitely not Archangel Gabriel.

That was what I told a priest when he said that the Christian and the Muslim God “may be” one and the same…

So what?

Just because another person lies or deceives themselves does not make the truth any less true.

From the CCC:

395 The power of Satan is, nonetheless, not infinite. He is only a creature, powerful from the fact that he is pure spirit, but still a creature. He cannot prevent the building up of God’s reign. Although Satan may act in the world out of hatred for God and his kingdom in Christ Jesus, and although his action may cause grave injuries - of a spiritual nature and, indirectly, even of a physical nature- to each man and to society, the action is permitted by divine providence which with strength and gentleness guides human and cosmic history. It is a great mystery that providence should permit diabolical activity, but “we know that in everything God works for good with those who love him.”

Remember, Muslims are working with what they have been given.
(I’m not referring to Mohammed specifically here).
God is merciful enough and big enough to work with and through anyone.
Don’t forget the promise of Romans 8: he works all things to the good of him who love him…

Though they may get the details wrong, they do worship to the best of their abilities the creator of the universe. Not, Zeus, not “mother earth”, not Ball (football, baseball, basketball). They bow before and pay homage to the Almighty and Everliving Creator God. The last time I checked, there was only one of those.

Anyone can feel God in their heart, if God calls them.

It makes all the difference in the world.

You may as well say nothing we do makes a difference since God is omniscient and omnipotent.

You are leaving out free will and God’s infinite love for us.

It makes a difference in determining whether Mohammed’s revelations were “true” or not.
 
When one looks at the quran and hadith, it doesn’t come from a supernatural source, divine or demonic, no doubt satan uses it to stear people away from Christ, but there are to many factually incorrect statements ( Eating figs or dates prevents magic, evil eye, genies), anachronisms (Mary, sister of Aaron, mother of Jesus conflating the Mary of the OT with the NT) incorrect definitions of what Christians believe (Mary in the Trinity) and Jews (Ezra son of God) so on and so forth…

I see the muslim religion as the creation of a man, or group of men, with no outside divine or demonic influences, now does satan still use it? ofcourse, but Satan could do a much better job of deceit, considering his knowledge is much higher than man

This has been hotly debated on this forum many times. I am on the side that says they do not worship the same God as Christians. They deny the Trinity…they deny the Son…therefore they are not worshipping the same God.

Sura 4:171 (Koran)– Allah forbid that he should have a son!
1 John 2:23 (Douay-Rheims)– Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father.
 
Well again we have to come back to all those children, boys and girls before the age of consciousness…Those are GODS children not satans.

Whatever happen to Mohammad in the cave I do not know. As the Apostolic Churchs state…we will know by their fruits. 👍

We are talking about a “man” who could not read or write obviously misunderstood the Trinity and many aspects of Judaism and Christianity, thus in his mind derived a new “religion” which his people could easily comprehend as he himself could. And, as its well documented, he wrote it as he went along through the battlefields while commanding his military as a War-Lord. I would say in some mild or severe form of TRAUMA.

Anyway, while Mohammad may have started out with “good intentions”, slowly this become a blatant attrocity, with a total lack of human compassion, and an ill conceived idea of love. The fact that one reads the Quran and becomes a “good muslim” is without doubt an indication that GODS WILL is written in everyones hearts. Its a long reach to suggest this is an attribute of the Quran, in fact I would state its contrary to it.

The idea of the whole religion of Islam being ran by satan as its Commanding Chief today is a bit extreme, no? I believe its more appropriate to state there is a diabolical disorientation existing on Earth today, and in this same and very clear way showing itself in Islamic Jihad. Course its dosen’t help the Bible is banned and radical theology is taught, thus becomes a learned behavior.

Listen, the same thing happens right here in American with the Bible and the KKK.

Peace
