I am not a Muslim, so I don’t know everything about his story, but based on what I have read, there are similarities with alien abductees.
Muhammad was supposed to be an illiterate, but an angel came to him and told me to read, and he’s able to read god’s message. What if it is just an alien telepathy message? Muhammad was supposed to predict that the world is coming to an end. Does it sound like some alien abductees claim that aliens gave them messages of erupting volcanos, earthquakes and end of the world events?
3)Muhammad would somehow know that the angels will come and send him a message. Some aliens abductees make the same claim
4) Muhammad said he rode a horse with a man’s face to heaven. Does it sound like an alien spacecraft just came down him?
Of course, his experience will correlate to the technology and understanding of the world of that time. I will post some primary sources from the Quran and Hadith. Tell me if you guys think it sounded like alien abduction or not.
Sahih al-Bukhari, Book 1, Hadith 3
” “The commencement of the Divine Inspiration to Allah’s Messenger was in the form of good righteous (true) dreams in his sleep. He never had a dream but that it came true like bright day light. He used to go in seclusion (the cave of) Hira where he used to worship (Allah alone) continuously for many days before his desire to see his family. He used to take with him the journey food for the stay and then come back to (his wife) Khadija to take his food like-wise again till suddenly the Truth descended upon him while he was in the cave of Hira. The angel came to him and asked him to read. The Prophet replied, ‘I do not know how to read.’ The Prophet added, ‘The angel caught me (forcefully) and pressed me so hard that I could not bear it any more. He then released me and again asked me to read, and I replied, “I do not know how to read,” whereupon he caught me again and pressed me a second time till I could not bear it any more. He then released me and asked me again to read, but again I replied, “I do not know how to read,” so he caught me for the third time and pressed me and then released me and said, ‘Read in the name of your Lord, who has created (all that exists) has created man from a clot. Read! And your Lord is the Most Generous.” (96.1, 96.2, 96.3)’ Then Allah’s Messenger returned with the Inspiration, his neck muscles twitching with terror till he entered upon Khadija and said, ‘Cover me! Cover me!’ They covered him till his fear was over and then he said, ‘O Khadija, what is wrong with me?’ Then he told her everything that had happened and said, ‘I fear that something may happen to me.’ Khadija replied, ‘Never! By Allah, Allah will never disgrace you. You keep good relations with your kith and kin, help the poor and the destitute, serve your guests generously, and assist the deserving calamity-afflicted ones.'”
The event when Muhammad rode to Jerusalem to went into heaven. Does it sound like UFO abduction? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isra%27_and_Mi%27raj
What do you guys think? If you are religious can’t accept questions like this, then this post isn’t for you.
