Was Abu Lahab better than Muhammad?

- Опубликовано: 8 июл 2024
- According to Islam, Muhammad is supposed to be the "best of mankind," a superior human like no other. So, what if his contemporaries were vastly superior in every way? What if even the Quran reveals this to be the case? Mary joins me to take a close look at Abu Lahab and the surah about him - Surah Al-Masad (111). Tune in live to find out what this tells us about Muhammad's so-called prophethood.

My post, Umar, the Slave and the Veil
Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 6382, 6383
6382. Narrated Anas ibn Malik:
Umar saw a slave-girl wearing a veil, so he struck her. He said: "Do not emulate free women."
6383. Narrated Anas ibn Malik:
A female slave came to Umar ubn al-Khattab. He knew her through some of the emigrants, or the Ansar. She was wearing a Jilbab (cloak) which veiled her. He asked her: "Have you been freed?" She said: "No." He said: "What about the Jilbab? Pull it down off your head. The Jilbab is only for free women from among the believing women." She hesitated. So he came at her with a whip and struck her on the head, until she cast it off her head.
Classed Sahih by al-Albani and Sa'd al-Shathri
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Adam and Moses argued with each other. Moses said to Adam. 'O Adam! You are our father who disappointed us and turned us out of Paradise.' Then Adam said to him, 'O Moses! Allah favored you with His talk (talked to you directly) and He wrote (the Torah) for you with His Own Hand. Do you blame me for action which Allah had written in my fate forty years before my creation?' So Adam confuted Moses, Adam confuted Moses," the Prophet (ﷺ) added, repeating the Statement three times. Sahih al-Bukhari 6614
My post, THAT is the Book Wherein There is No Doubt
In this post we shall look at S 2:2 with an excerpt from Sam Shamoun's article The Quran on the Authority and Integrity of the Biblical Text, Part 2
My translation goes: That book--there is no doubt therein, guidance for the fearers,
From Sam's article:
Sura 2:2
"THAT is the Book, wherein is no doubt, a guidance to the godfearing..." A.J. Arberry
Although many Muslim scholars claim that the phrase "that book" refers to the Quran, this seems to be more of a desperate attempt of avoiding the obvious implications of this passage, namely that the Muslims were to have no doubt about the authority and inspiration of the Holy Bible available at the time of Muhammad.
Because, whenever the Quran refers to itself as a divine book from God it uses the phrase "this", not "that":
And this is a Book (the Koran) which We have sent down as a blessing; so follow it that you may receive Mercy. Lest you should say that the Book was sent to two sects (the Jews & Christians) before us, and we were unaware of what they used to study. S. 6:155-156
This Koran could not have been produced by any other than Allah; it confirms what was revealed before it (the Torah & Gospel), and explains fully the Book (Scriptures) that was revealed without any doubt by the Lord of the worlds. S. 10:37
As the authors of the True Guidance note:
The Quran says that there is no doubt in the Book, though some Muslims have cast doubt on its authenticity. The Quran orders Muhammad to ask those who read the Book from before him whenever he is in doubt concerning the Quran (Sura Yunis 10:94). Islamic commentators said that verse 2 means that there is no doubt that the Book is a guidance unto the god-fearing. But the god-fearing are not in need of guidance, because Allah has already guided them!
We believe that "that Book" refers to the Bible only, not to the Quran. Were the Quran intended, Muhammad would have said "this book" not "that Book." (True Guidance - Comments on Quranic Verses [Light of Life, PO Box 13, A-9503 Villach, Austria], part 5, p. 8; bold emphasis ours)
Finally, even some Muslim scholars understood S. 2:2 as referring to the Holy Bible as that book in which there is no doubt. Ibn Kathir acknowledges the fact that some viewed the phrase 'that book' as referring to the Bible:
has been interpreted by some as the Torah and the Gospel, which is highly unlikely and useless elaboration on a matter about which they know nothing. The correct interpretation is that it refers to the Qur'an." (Tafsir Ibn Kathir - Part 1 Surah Al-Fatiah Surah Al-Baqarah, ayat 1 to 141, abridged by Sheikh Muhammad Nasib Ar-Rafa'i [Al-Firdous Ltd., London, 1998 Second Edition], p. 57; bold italic emphasis ours)
Mahmoud M. Ayoub states:
Most commentators have agreed that dhalika al-kitab (that is the Book) means hadha al-kitab (this is the Book). Tabari reports the view on the authority of 'Ikrimah, al-Suddi and Ibn 'Abbas that "Kitab may refer to the surahs which were sent down before Surat al-Baqarah in Mecca... Some commentators have claimed that the word kitab refers to the Torah and the Gospel and not the Qur'an (see Tabari, I, pp. 227-228).
And,
... Other commentators have said that the word kitab refers either to the Torah and the Gospel in which the Qur'an is explained or to them both, meaning that the Qur'an included both the Torah and the Gospel ... (Ayoub, The Qur'an and Its Interpreters, Volume One [State University of New York Press, Albany, 1984], pp. 62, 63; bold emphasis ours)
Sir William Muir cites Jalaludeen:
"That which hath been revealed BEFORE THEE, viz. the Pentateuch and the Gospel, &c."
ما أنزل من قبلك أي التوراة والأنجيل وغيرهما - Jelalooddeen.
(Muir, The Coran: Its Composition and Teaching; And The Testimony It Bears To The Holy Scriptures, p. 135; capital emphasis ours)
In light of the preceding factors, there is nothing within the context of the Quran that would rule out that the phrase, that is the Book wherein is no doubt, is referring to the Holy Bible. That is, unless one holds to the prior assumption that the biblical text is corrupt and then proceeds to read this presupposition into the exegesis of the Quran. On the contrary, if we are free from this bias, it is the more natural understanding based on the common grammatical usage that dhalika refers to an entity outside the Quran.
The Quran on the Authority and Integrity of the Biblical Text, Part 2
Narrated Jundab bin `Abdullah:
Gabriel did not come to the Prophet (for some time) and so one of the Quraish women said, "His Satan has deserted him." So came the Divine Revelation: "By the forenoon And by the night When it is still! Your Lord (O Muhammad) has neither Forsaken you Nor hated you." (93.1-3) Sahih al-Bukhari 1125
From, Muhammad and Miracles
It is the rather explicit teaching of the Quran that Muhammad performed no supernatural, verifiable miracles apart from the inspiration that he received. The Quran in several places emphatically negates the idea of Muhammad performing physical feats such as raising the dead, healing the sick, opening physically blind eyes etc. We present those citations here in order for our readers to see for themselves the Quran’s outright denial that Muhammad was able to perform the miraculous. All quotations taken from A.J. Arberry, unless noted otherwise:
And they that know not say, 'Why does God not speak to us? Why does a sign (ayatun) not come to us?' So spoke those before them as these men say; their hearts are much alike. Yet We have made clear the signs (bayyanna al-ayati) unto a people who are sure. S. 2:118
Yet if thou shouldst bring to those that have been given the Book every sign (ayatun), they will not follow thy direction; thou art not a follower of their direction, neither are they followers of one another's direction. If thou followest their caprices, after the knowledge that has come to thee, then thou wilt surely be among the evildoers. S. 2:145
They also say, 'Why has no sign (ayatun) been sent down upon him from his Lord?' Say: 'Surely God is able to send down a sign (ayatan), but most of them know not.' S. 6:37
They have sworn by God the most earnest oaths if a sign (ayatun) comes to them they will believe in it. Say: 'Signs (al-ayatu) are only with God.' What will make you realize that, when it comes, they will not believe? S. 6:109
They say, 'Why has a sign (ayatun) not been sent down upon him from his Lord?' Say: 'The Unseen belongs only to God. Then watch and wait; I shall be with you watching and waiting.' S. 10:20
The unbelievers say, 'Why has a sign (ayatun) not been sent down upon him from his Lord?' Thou art ONLY a warner, and a guide to every people. S. 13:7
The foregoing text presupposes that Muhammad’s only function was to warn people, not to perform miracles. After all, the statement "Thou art ONLY a warner" would make no sense if a warner could in fact perform wonders. In other words, being a warner wouldn’t preclude Muhammad from doing any signs unless, of course, the point being made by the Quran is that such individuals who assumed this role were not empowered to do miracles.
The next text further illustrates this point:
Then, it may be that you will give up part of what is revealed to you and your breast will become straightened by it because they say: Why has not a treasure been sent down upon him or an angel come with him? You are ONLY a warner; and Allah is custodian over all things. S. 11:12 Shakir
I.e., "since you are only a warner it is not your job to perform miracles since you haven’t been given that ability. Rather, your job is to simply exhort and admonish people."
The unbelievers say, 'Why has a sign (ayatun) not been sent down upon him from his Lord?' Say: 'God leads astray whomsoever He will, and He guides to Him all who are penitent.' S. 13:27
Naught prevented Us from sending the signs (bial-ayati) but that the ancients cried lies to them; and We brought Thamood the She-camel visible, but they did her wrong. And We do not send the signs, except to frighten. S. 17:59
This last passage is one of the clearest proofs that Muhammad did absolutely no miracles whatsoever. The text says that Allah refrained from providing miracles, which would make no sense at all if Muhammad did indeed perform signs and wonders. Regarding this verse, the late Sunni scholar Muhammad Asad candidly admitted:
This highly elliptic sentence has a fundamental bearing on the purport of the Qur'an as a whole. In many places the Qur'an stresses the fact that the Prophet Muhammad, despite his being the last and greatest of God's apostles, WAS NOT EMPOWERED TO PERFORM MIRACLES similar to those with which the earlier prophets are said to have reinforced their verbal messages. His ONLY miracle was and is the Qur'an itself - a message perfect in its lucidity and ethical comprehensiveness, destined for all times and all stages of human development, addressed not merely to the feelings but also to the minds of men, open to everyone, whatever his race or social environment, and bound to remain unchanged forever… (Asad, Message of the Qur'an [Dar Al-Andalus Limited 3 Library Ramp, Gibraltar rpt. 1993], p. 427, fn. 71; online edition; capital and underline emphasis ours)
There is more from the Quran:
They say, 'We will not believe thee till thou makest a spring to gush forth from the earth for us, or till thou possessest a garden of plants and vines, and thou makest rivers to gush forth abundantly all amongst it, or till thou makest heaven to fall, as thou assertest, on us in fragments, or thou bringest God and the angels as a surety, or till thou possessest a house of gold ornament, or till thou goest up into heaven; and we will not believe thy going up till thou bringest down on us a book that we may read. Say: 'Glory be to my Lord. Am I aught BUT A MORTAL, a Messenger?' S. 17:90-93
Yet when the truth came to them from Ourselves, they said, 'Why has he not been given the like of that Moses was given?' But they, did they not disbelieve also in what Moses was given aforetime? They said, 'A pair of sorceries mutually supporting each other.' They said, 'We disbelieve both.' S. 28:48
One Muslim writer claims:
Miracles of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) are mentioned in both the Qur’an and Hadith. The Holy Qur’an collectively mentions them in many places; … (Source)
The author proceeds to present a series of quotes referring to signs given to Muhammad and then states:
The Arabic word "Al-Bayyinat" often comes in the Qur'an to mean miracles as in 2:87, 2:253, 4:153, 5:110, 7:101, 10:13, 10:74, 16:44, 20:72, 40:28, 57:25, 64:6 and others.
There are a couple of problems with the author’s claim. First, none of the citations he lists mention what the sign supposedly was, i.e. whether healing the sick, raising the dead etc. They do not specify the kind of sign performed by Muhammad. Second, there are places in the Quran where the specific Arabic words used for sign(s), i.e. ayat and bayyinat, do not necessarily refer to miracles such as raising the dead etc. These words are also used to refer to either the signs in creation, i.e. the design of the cosmos, the traversing of the sun, moon stars etc., or in connection with Books that God revealed. As even Muhammad Asad noted in his comments on surah 6:109:
Lit., "Miracles are only with God." It is to be noted that the Qur'anic term ayah denotes not only a "miracle" (in the sense of a happening that goes beyond the usual - that is, commonly observable - course of nature), but also a "sign" or "message": and the last-mentioned significance is the one which is by far the most frequently met with in the Qur'an. Thus, what is commonly described as a "miracle" constitutes, in fact, an unusual message from God, indicating sometimes in a symbolic manner - a spiritual truth which would otherwise have remained hidden from man's intellect. But even such extraordinary, "miraculous" messages cannot be regarded as "supernatural": for the so-called "laws of nature" are only a perceptible manifestation of "God's way" (sunnat Allah) in respect of His creation - and, consequently, everything that exists and happens, or could conceivably exist or happen, is "natural" in the innermost sense of this word, irrespective of whether it conforms to the ordinary course of events or goes beyond it. Now since the extraordinary messages referred to manifest themselves, as a rule, through the instrumentality of those specially gifted and divinely elected personalities known as "prophets", these are sometimes spoken of as "performing miracles" - a misconception which the Qur'an removes by the words, "Miracles are in the power of God alone". (See also 17:59 and the corresponding note. (Ibid., pp. 188-189, fn. 94; online edition; underline emphasis ours)
The author himself realizes that the word al-bayyinat doesn’t always refer to miracles since he qualifies his statement by saying "often," meaning not always.
My post, The Ghayb
S 2:3 Those who believe in the ghayb and establish salat and from what we have provided them they spend.
S 3:44 That is from the news of the ghayb. We inspire you with it. And you were not in their presence when they threw their pens as to which of them takes charge of Maryam. And you were not in their presence when they dispute.
S 3:179 Allah would not leave the believers on what you are on until he might distinguish the bad one from the good. And Allah would not apprise you of the ghayb but Allah chooses from his messengers whom he wills, so believe in Allah and his messengers, and if you believe and fear, you have a great wage.
Why are messengers and Allah put together as those to be believed in?
S 5:94 Those who have believed, Allah tests you in something of hunting that your hands and your spears get that Allah may know him who fears him in the ghayb. And he who has transgressed after that has painful torture.
Was the Ghayb Allah's abode?
S 6:50 Say: I do not tell you I have Allah’s treasures or know the ghayb or tell you I am an angel. I do not follow but what I am inspired with. Say: Is the blind man equal to the seeing man? So do you not ponder?
Is the blind man inferior to the sighted?
S 6:59 And he has the keys of the ghayb; none knows them but him. And he knows what is in the land and the sea. And no leaf falls but he knows it. And not a grain in the darknesses of the Earth nor wet nor dry but it is in a clear book.
What clear book? Is this one accessible only to Allah or to angels? If so, why tell us that it is clear?
S 6:73 And he is the one who created the skies and the Earth with truth. And the day he says: Be and it is. His speech is the truth. And his is the dominion on the day it is blown on the trumpet. The knower of the ghayb and the testimony. And he is the wise, the expert.
So saying 'Be' is restricted to the future? The word I have translated "testimony" is shahadah. Compare with S 3:18.
S 7:188 Say: I do not possess benefit or harm for myself except what Allah has willed. And had I been a knower of the ghayb I would have demanded much of the good and the evil would not have touched me. I am nothing but a nadhir and a bearer of good news for a people who believe.
S 9:94 They excuse themselves to you when you have returned to them. Say: Do not excuse yourselves. We shall not believe you. Allah has informed us of your news and Allah will see your deed, and his messenger. Then you are returned to the knower of the ghayb and the testimony then he informs you of what you used to do.
S 9:105 And say: Do, then Allah will see your deed, and his messenger and the believers. And you will be returned to the knower of the ghayb and the testimony then he will inform you of what you used to do.
S 10:20 And they say: Why has a sign from his lord not been sent down upon him? So say: The ghayb is only Lah’s, so wait. I am with you among those waiting.
S 11:31 And I do not say to you I have Allah’s treasuries and I do not know the ghayb and I do not say that I am an angel nor do I say for those whom your eyes look down on, Allah will not give them good. Allah knows what is in their souls. I then would be of the wrongdoers.
S 11:49 That is from the news of the ghayb; we inspire you with it. You were not knowing it, you nor your people before this. So be patient. The result is for the fearers.
S 12:52 That is that he may know that I did not betray him in the ghayb and that Allah does not guide the scheme of the betrayers.
S 12:102 That is from the news of the ghayb which we inspire you with. And you were not with them when they agreed upon their matter and they were plotting.
S 13:9 Knowing the ghayb and the testimony, the big, the haughty.
Which is haughty?
S 18:22 They will say: Three, the fourth of them their dog; and they say: Five, the sixth of them their dog. A conjecture about the ghayb. And they say: Seven, and the eighth of them their dog. Say: My lord knows their ‘iddah. None knows them but a few. So do not argue about them except with a clear argument. And do not enquire about them from anyone among them.
S 19:61 Jannat of ‘Adn which Al-Rahman has promised his slaves in the ghayb. It was his promise having come.
S 19:78 Has he come suddenly upon the ghayb or taken from Al-Rahman a covenant?
S 21:49 Those who fear their lord in the ghayb and they are anxious about the Hour.
S 23:92 Knower of the ghayb and the testimony, exalted be he above what they associate!
S 27:65 Say: No-one in the skies and the Earth knows the ghayb but Allah and they do not perceive when they are raised.
S 32:6 That is the knower of the ghayb and the testimony, the mighty, the merciful.
S 34:3 And those who have disbelieved said: The Hour does not come to us. Say: Yes, by my lord, it is coming to you, the knower of the ghayb. The weight of a red ant does not escape him in the skies or on the Earth or smaller than that or bigger but it is in a clear book
Who has access to this book?
S 34:14 Then when we had decided upon him death nothing indicated to them his death but the beast of the Earth eating his staff. But when he fell it became clear to the jinn that had they known the ghayb they would not have remained in the base torture.
S 34:53 And they disbelieved in it before and they ejaculate on the ghayb from a distant place.
S 35:18 And a bearer does not bear another’s burden. And if a laden one calls to its load, none of it is carried even if he was a relative. You only warn those who fear their lord in the ghayb and they have performed salat. And he who has purified himself, then he only purifies himself for himself. And to Allah is the destiny.
S 36:11 You only warn him who has followed the Dhikr and feared Al-Rahman in the ghayb. So give him good news of forgiveness and a generous wage.
S 39:46 Say: Allahumma! Splitter of the skies and the Earth, knower of the ghayb and the testimony! You judge among your slaves concerning what they used to differ in.
S 50:33 He who has feared Al-Rahman in the ghayb and has come with a remorseful heart.
S 52:41 Or do they have the ghayb so they write?
S 53:35 Is the knowledge of the ghayb with him so he sees?
S 57:25 We sent our messengers with the proofs and we sent down with them the book and the balance that people might stand with equity. And we sent down iron wherein is severe horribleness and benefits for people and that Allah might know him who helps him and his messengers in the ghayb. Allah is strong, mighty.
Do the messengers reside with Allah? If so, did the founder of Islam, supposedly a messenger as opposed to being just a warner? Quran Contradiction: Is Muhammad Only A Warner or a Prophet/Messenger? Are the messengers Allah's partners who might be helped along with it?
S 59:22 He is Allah, the one who--. There is no god but him. The knower of the ghayb and the testimony. He is Al-Rahman, the merciful.
S 62:8 Say: Death which you flee is meeting you. Then you are returned to the knower of the ghayb and the testimony and he informs you of what you used to do.
S 64:18 Knower of the ghayb and the testimony, the mighty, the wise.
S 67:12 Those who fear their lord in the ghayb, theirs is forgiveness and a big wage.
S 68:47 Or is the ghayb with them so they write?
S 72:26 The knower of the ghayb, so he does not show his ghayb to anyone
If a messenger were told of the ghayb, wouldn't he know that much of it and Allah not an exclusive knower of it?
S 81:24 And he is not avaricious with the ghayb.
The one seen on the horizon isn't avaricious with it? It was supposedly Jibril that appeared on the horizon.
The word ghayb is usually translated along the lines of 'the unseen' or 'the unknown', Everything seen and known today was once unseen and unknown. Supposedly none but Allah knows the ghayb.
Narrated Ibn `Umar:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "The keys of Unseen are five which none knows but Allah: None knows what will happen tomorrow but Allah; none knows what is in the wombs (a male child or a female) but Allah; none knows when it will rain but Allah; none knows at what place one will die; none knows when the Hour will be established but Allah." (See The Qur'an 31:34.")
[bukhari:4697]
A doctor can tell the sex of an unborn baby by means of ultrasound and many a person has known in what place he would die.

My post, Stones as Fuel
S 2:24 And if you have not done so, and you will not do so, then fear the fire whose fuel is people and stones, prepared for the kafirun.
S 66:6 Those who have believed, protect yourselves and your family from a fire whose fuel is people and stones. Over it are angels, harsh, severe. They do not disobey Allah what he has commanded them and they do what they are commanded.
How might stones serve as fuel? Do they burn? Is hell fire fuelled by stones? Do the above-mentioned angels go in search of stones to serve as fuel?
Are believers to guard themselves and their family from hell fire? According to S 19:71-72, all Muslims wind up in hell. See: The Quran on Muslims Entering Hell Are there angels, plural, in charge of hell? But isn't one Malik supposed to be the one over hell? Allah’s Need for Human Sacrifice to Appease Hell’s Angelic Ruler - Answering Islam Blog The last sentence of S 66:6 repeats the thought that hell's angels obey.
If God could condemn only 1 person, you'd pick him? Not Hitler? Not Paul (who supposedly corrupted the Bible)? Not the guy who moved the Dodgers to LA? Just seems like a weird set of priorities there, no?
His only crime was to doubt publicly Muhammad.
Abraha among others, destroyed the kabaa, leaving only tiny pieces of rock left, but no, it's Abu Lahab the first guy to enter hellfire...
Dumb Allah.

Meaning of fitrah
Al-Tabari (may Allah have mercy on him) said in his Tafsir: Fitrah : the deen (way or religion) of Allah. Al-Tabaris tafsir (commentary) of the ayah (interpretation of the meaning): [Iblis said] and indeed I will order them to change the nature created by Allah. [al-Nisa 4:119]
Concerning the ayah (interpretation of the meaning), “So set your face steadily and truly to the Faith: (establish) Allah’s handiwork according to the pattern (fitrah) on which He has made mankind: no change (let there be) in the work (wrought) by Allah: that is the standard Religion: but most among mankind understand not. [al-Rum 30:30 Yusuf Ali’s translation], it was reported from some of the scholars of tafsir that the phrase the pattern (fitrah) on which He has made mankind means the design of Allah according to which He has created mankind. What Is the Meaning of Fitrah? - Islam Question & Answer
Everyone is supposedly born in a state of fitrah.
It is reported on the authority of Abu Mu'awiya that (the Holy Prophet) said:
Every new-born babe is born on the millat (of Islam and he) remains on this until his tongue is enabled to express himself. This hadith has been narratted on the authority of Abu Mu'awiya through another chain of transmitters (and the words are):" Every child is born but on this Fitra so long as he does not express himself with his tongue."
Muslim 2658f
Something interesting:
The Prophet (ﷺ) added:
I was raised to the Lote Tree and saw four rivers, two of which were coming out and two going in. Those which were coming out were the Nile and the Euphrates, and those which were going in were two rivers in paradise. Then I was given three bowls, one containing milk, and another containing honey, and a third containing wine. I took the bowl containing milk and drank it. It was said to me, "You and your followers will be on the right path (of Islam) [fitrah]."
[bukhari:5610]
The translator has: "will be on". Was Allah's boss up to that point not a Muslim? The Arabic of the final bit is: فَقِيلَ لِي أَصَبْتَ الْفِطْرَةَ أَنْتَ وَأُمَّتُكَ 'So it was said to me, 'You have attained the fitrah, you and your nation'. My translation. If أَصَبْتَ asabta means 'you have attained', was he ever a Muslim before this point?
If everyone is born Muslim, why does Allah create Muslims just to damn them?
S 7:179 And we have created for Jahannam many of jinn and man. They have hearts they do not comprehend with and they have eyes they do not see with. And they have ears they do not hear with. Those are like cattle, rather, they are more astray. Those, they are the heedless.
'A'isha, the mother of the believers, said that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was called to lead the funeral prayer of a child of the Ansar. I said:
Allah's Messenger, there is happiness for this child who is a bird from the birds of Paradise for it committed no sin nor has he reached the age when one can commit sin. He said: 'A'isha, per adventure, it may be otherwise, because God created for Paradise those who are fit for it while they were yet in their father's loins and created for Hell those who are to go to Hell. He created them for Hell while they were yet in their father's loins.

From, Quran Contradiction: Is Muhammad Only A Warner or a Prophet/Messenger?
There is no denying that the Quran asserts that Muhammad was an apostle and prophet:
Muhammad is not the father of any of your men, but (he is) the Apostle of God, and the Seal of the Prophets: and God has full knowledge of all things. S. 33:40 Y. Ali
What may not be apparent to our readers is that the Quran contradicts itself at this point since it claims that Muhammad was only a warner whom Allah sent:
Say: For myself I have no power to benefit, nor power to hurt, save that which Allah willeth. Had I knowledge of the Unseen, I should have abundance of wealth, and adversity would not touch me. I am but (illa) a warner, and a bearer of good tidings unto folk who believe. S. 7:188 Pickthall
So perchance you (Muhammad SAW) may give up a part of what is revealed unto you, and that your breast feels straitened for it because they say, "Why has not a treasure been sent down unto him, or an angel has come with him?" But you are ONLY a warner (innama anta natheerun). And Allah is a Wakil (Disposer of affairs, Trustee, Guardian, etc.) over all things. S. 11:12 Hilali-Khan
Those who disbelieve say: If only some portent were sent down upon him from his Lord! Thou art a warner ONLY (innama anta munthirun), and for every folk a guide. S. 13:7 Pickthall
And they say: "Why are not signs sent down to him from his Lord? Say: "The signs are only with Allah (qul innama al-ayatu AAinda Allahi), and I am ONLY a plain warner (wa-innama ana natheerun mubeenun)." S. 29:50 Hilali-Khan
Interestingly, the last three passages emphatically deny that Muhammad brought any portents since he was only a warner, implying that warners weren’t equipped with signs and wonders. For more on this issue please read this article on Muhammad and Miracles.
Say (O Muhammad SAW): "O mankind! I am (sent) to you ONLY as a plain warner (innama ana lakum natheerun mubeenun)." S. 22:49 Hilali-Khan
Say (unto them, O Muhammad): I am ONLY a warner (Qul innama ana munthirun), and there is no God save Allah, the One, the Absolute, S. 38:65 Pickthall
Say: "As to the knowledge of the time, it is with God alone (Qul innama alAAilmu AAinda Allahi): I am (sent) ONLY to warn plainly in public (wa-innama ana natheerun mubeenun)." S. 67:26 Y. Ali; cf. 17:105; 25:56; 27:92; 34:28; 79:45
The Arabic word innama is a particle that negates everything else, which in reference to Muhammad means that he is a warner and nothing else. The Muslim should have no problem accepting this point, that in these specific references innama means Muhammad is ONLY a warner and nothing more, since the Quran says something similar about the unity of Allah:
This is a clear message for mankind in order that they may be warned thereby, and that they may know that He is ONLY One God (annama huwa ilahun wahidun), and that men of understanding may take heed. S. 14:52 Pickthall
Allah hath said: Choose not two gods. There is ONLY One God (innama huwa ilahun wahidun). So of Me, Me only, be in awe. S. 16:51 Pickthall
And:
God bears witness that there is no god but (illa) He -- and the angels, and men possessed of knowledge -- upholding justice; there is no god but He, the All-mighty, the All-wise. S. 3:18
And We sent never a Messenger before thee except that We revealed to him, saying, 'There is no god but (illa) I; so serve Me.' S. 21:25 Pickthall
Which Muslim would take the above texts to mean that Allah is not the only god? Which Muslim would deny that only (innama) or but (illa) mean exactly that, i.e. that there is no other deity except Allah and that he alone is God? Yet the Quran uses the same expressions in reference to Muhammad being a warner. If the Muslim is to remain consistent s/he must accept the fact that Muhammad was only a warner, no more, no less.
Here is another example:
Say: I am ONLY a mortal like you (Qul innama ana basharun mithlukum). My Lord inspireth in me that your God is ONLY One God (annama ilahukum ilahun wahidun). And whoever hopeth for the meeting with his Lord, let him do righteous work, and make none sharer of the worship due unto his Lord. S. 18:110
Again, which Muslim would have a problem admitting that this text clearly says that Muhammad is only a human being, that he was not an angel, jinn or a divinity walking this earth?
Elah means "god", with the suffix -i meaning "my." Being Aramaic and not Hebrew (there is no singular possessive for "god" in Biblical Hebrew), in the Old Testament, Elahi is found only in the books of Ezra and Daniel. It is best known for its transliteration in Mark 15:34, "ἐλωΐ ἐλωΐ" eloi eloi. @UNA
