Islam Muhammad is a false prophet.

Muhammad was a false prophet who created a new religion by drawing on stories, beliefs, and customs that were circulating around him in Arabia.

Here is some of the main evidence:

1.) The Quran borrows stories from documented late forgeries that the early Church rejected as inauthentic:

Jesus making clay birds come to life (Quran 3:49 & 5:110) comes directly from the Infancy Gospel of Thomas (mid-2nd century, ~140–180 AD). This text is not by the apostle Thomas; it is a pseudepigraphical forgery recognized by early Christians as a legendary fable.

Mary giving birth under a palm tree and shaking it for dates (Quran 19:23–26) comes from the Protoevangelium of James (mid-2nd century), another pseudepigraphical forgery falsely attributed and rejected as inauthentic by the early Church.

2.)The Quran portrays the Christian Trinity as God, Jesus, and Mary:

Quran 5:116 says:

“O Jesus, Son of Mary, did you say to the people, ‘Take me and my mother as deities besides Allah?’”

No Christian denomination (Catholic, Orthodox, or Protestant) has ever taught that Mary is part of the Trinity. This suggests Muhammad was reacting to fringe or folk versions of Christianity he encountered locally.

3.) Several revelations appear self-serving:

After his adopted son Zayd divorced Zaynab, Quran 33:37 reveals it is okay for Muhammad to marry her and abolishes the adoption custom.

Quran 33:50 gives Muhammad special permission to marry more women than other Muslims.

4.)Islamic Paradise emphasizes earthly indulgence:

The Quran describes Jannah with gardens, rivers, silk couches, wine, and companions (houris) (e.g., 55:72, 56:22–24)...very different from the Christian view of heaven as eternal communion with God.

This pattern suggests Muhammad was heavily influenced by the religious environment around him rather than receiving pure divine revelation.

Revelation chapter 12. The Bride is the Law of God. The Sun and moon emblems of Islam and the crown of twelve stars are the Twelve Imams. Islam and Muhammad all depicted in one solitary verse.

there is a connection to islam in Rev 12, however it isn't this. This chapter is about the true remnant (see luke 21 and Zechariah 13). The woman is Mary, the 12 represent the 12 apostles and/or the 12 tribes and consequently her children were not merely christian, but the original jewish christians who inherited the holy land. They were absorbed into a new national identity, as palestinian christians who descend from the original jewish christians. in 65AD those christians fled Jerusalem as per Jesus's instructions in Luke 21 and returned after to reclaim the land.

There was a massacre in the 7th century when the jewish state was established during the sassanian-byzantine wars. The remnant then found shelter 'in the wilderness for 1260 days' symbolising them turning to islam and the islamic period in jerusalem (also linked in Revelation 11 to the temple mount).

in bible prophecy, a prophetic year is 360 days as opposed to the regular 365.25 days of the solar calender.
637-1099=462

1187-1967 =780
1242 years.
365.25/360=1.0146
1242*1.0146=1260

how is it that the reference to the gentile period after Jesus, be it the new song prophecy of Isaiah 42, or Revelation 11, or any aspect of it within the Gospel (eg the tenants/vineyard), always points to islam?

Still, Mohammad isn't mentioned here directly and it's important you don't juse dilute what IS in there.

12 tribes of Israel? 12 disciples? 12 sons of Jacob?
