Following Hadith and Sunna is idolization of the prophet Muhammad against his will, since he is a human like us who must not be idolized.1, 2, 3
Intercession is a myth and a trick of Satan; believing that Muhammad will intercede for anyone is idolizing him against his will.1, 2, 3
Just as Christians who love Jesus excessively are disowned by him, Muhammad will be disappointed with those who love him excessively.1, 2
Millions of Muslims today practice idolatry identical to that of Quraish, praying to God and then asking saints at their tombs for health, wealth, and children.1, 2
No names besides God's may be mentioned in Salat, so the Tashahhud praising Muhammad and Abraham is an innovation and idol worship.1, 2
Verse 33:56 means encouraging and supporting the Prophet during his life, not praising him day and night, and God and His angels likewise encourage all believers.1, 2, 3
Verse 39:45 is the Quran's great criterion: mentioning God alone excludes mentioning anyone else, and those who idolize Muhammad or Jesus are upset by it.1, 2
Earth is an infinitesimal speck in the greater universe, so setting up powerless humans like Mary, Jesus, and Muhammad as gods is absurd.1
Satan and his representatives promote idolizing powerless creatures such as Muhammad, Jesus, Mary, and the saints, and because of our polytheistic tendencies most of us are easy prey.1
The concept of Muhammad's intercession is illogical and blasphemous, because it makes God tell Muhammad who deserves Paradise and then has Muhammad tell God, making God a secretary of their idol.1, 2, 3
The myth of intercession is one of Satan's most effective tricks, leading millions of Christians to idolize Jesus and millions of Muslims to idolize Muhammad.1, 2
Millions of Muslims have adopted a polytheistic version of the First Pillar by insisting on mentioning Muhammad's name beside God's name.1
There is no greater blasphemy than distorting the Quran to idolize the prophet Muhammad against his will.1
Verse 39:45 brands as disbelievers those who are averse when God alone is mentioned but satisfied when others are mentioned with Him.1, 2
Verse 47:19 commands knowing that there is no god except the one God, and adding Muhammad Rasool Allah to it, as one Muslim publication did, falsely presents the addition as Quran and is blasphemy.1, 2
Contact prayers must be devoted to God alone, so commemorating Muhammad and his family or Abraham and his family during prayer is idolatry that renders the prayers null and void.1, 2, 3
Visiting Muhammad's tomb and treating it as a second Sacred Mosque is flagrant idolatry that nullifies the pilgrims' Hajj and violates the Quran.1, 2
No mosque in the so called Muslim world as of 1989 upholds the command that mosques belong to God alone, since Muhammad's name is invoked with God's in the call to prayer and the prayer.1, 2
The apparent victory of the distorters accorded with God's will, because the people reverted to idolatry with the Prophet himself as their idol and did not deserve the pure Quran.1, 2
The First Pillar of Islam, decreed in 3:18 and 47:19, is There is no other god besides God, and adding Muhammad's name to it does not conform with God's commandments.1, 2
The mass rebellion against God and His messenger and the reversion to idolizing the Prophet and the saints called for the fulfillment of God's pledge in 47:38.1
The Quran forbids making distinction among God's messengers, and the distorted Shahaadah gives Muhammad more distinction against his will.1
The word Raheem, Merciful, is used in the Quran exclusively as a name of God, and the Prophet did not possess any power of mercy.1
Traditional Muslims are enraged by mentioning God alone, as 39:45 documents, and Khalifa is convinced God forbids them from uttering the Quranic Shahaadah without invoking Muhammad.1, 2
Ignorant Muslim scholars proclaimed Muhammad illiterate so that the Quran's literary excellence would seem truly miraculous, and this illiteracy claim is a fabricated lie.1, 2
Muslims idolize Muhammad against his will by calling him the most honorable messenger, claiming he was infallible, making his tomb a Sacred Mosque, and claiming he can intercede.1, 2, 3, 4
The story of Muhammad's ascension to the heavens on a horse and talking God out of 50 prayers is indefensible, since even at the speed of light he would still be within the Milky Way.1, 2, 3
The Quran calls for unity among all believers and forbids distinguishing among messengers; devotion to powerless humans like Jesus, Muhammad, and saints causes division and wars.1, 2
The last two verses of Sura 9 are fake, made up by idol worshipers who tried to honor Muhammad the way Christians tried to honor Jesus.1, 2, 3
The Prophet's personal opinions could be right or wrong and were right only if they agreed with the Quran, so people should take from him only the Quran.1, 2, 3, 4
The Quran declares Muhammad a human being like us and warns in the same verses against falling into idol worship.1
The word Nabi in the Quran almost always refers to the Prophet during his lifetime, not after his death, which those who praise him day and night forget.1, 2, 3
Those who accuse truth tellers of hurting Jesus because they believe he is God's son will be disowned by Jesus on the Day of Judgment, and likewise rejecting hadith is not opposing Muhammad.1, 2
A believer must realize that any human being can be equal to or better than Muhammad, Jesus, or Moses.1, 2, 3, 4
Followers of hadith and sunna are named as Muhammad's enemies whom he will disown, so Muslims are no smarter than Christians who idolize Jesus.1, 2
The verse about God and His angels supporting the prophet is taken out of context, since God and His angels do the same for believers, yet it is used to glorify Muhammad.1, 2, 3
God gives criteria in the Quran, such as 39:45, to tell whether one is a believer: hypocrites dislike it when God alone is mentioned and are pleased when Muhammad is mentioned with Him.1, 2, 3
Within 19 years of the Prophet's death, people corrupted the religion and began to idolize Muhammad against his will, as Christians did with Jesus, falling into Satan's trap.1, 2, 3
Idolizing the prophets is worse than disrespecting them; Satan led the Jews to kill prophets, then the Christians to idolize Jesus, and the Muslims to do the same in a concealed way.1, 2, 3, 4
Many Muslims fall into the same presumption the Quran condemns in the Jews, believing the Prophet will intercede for them and keep them from Hell.1, 2
Muhammad was a fallible human being, and God made the messengers imperfect so that people would not worship them.1, 2, 3, 4
Mentioning Muhammad and Abraham in the contact prayer amounts to worshiping them.1
Even if disrespecting the Prophet were true of us, it would be forgivable, whereas idol worship is not, so avoiding idol worship is the right choice.1, 2, 3
