Muhammad suffered numerous psychological disorders, not the least of which was grandiosity, a pathological drive to aggrandize one’s importance. The strongest evidence for this is that he preached that he will be with God on the Day of Judgment to “intercede” in deciding who is spared the flames of hell or who gets released from the furnace and allowed into paradise–God’s right hand man, so to speak. He will carry out this role as barrister for the faithful either while in prostration before the Lord or seated in a mini-throne next to God. Ever the modest prophet, he was never sure about which way it will be.
Read this article and you will find out what gets crammed into the typical Muslim head and leads them to do the strange things they do, such as saying “Peace be upon him” at every mention of Muhammad’s name.
The following is taken from the chapter “Intercession” from the book, It’s All About Muhammad, A Biography of the World’s Most Notorious Prophet. Footnotes citing the original literature of Islam are included to show that none of this is made up.
LIKE A GENERALISSIMO WITH A CHEST FULL OF MEDALS AND RIBBONS, Muhammad awarded himself a breathtaking sweep of titles over the course of his career as self-anointed prophet.
In the earliest phase he called himself The Kind, The Truthful, The Beloved, The Chosen One, The Bearer of Good Tidings, The Light Personified, The Light-giving Lamp, and more. These were titles he gave himself in various verses of the Koran, and hardly a chapter was without a line in praise of himself or his compositions. In the middle of his career, the self-praise turned Orwellian. Just as he was assassinating critics, mass murdering Jews, awarding the fields and plantations of his victims to his friends, and taking into his bed women whose husbands he had just butchered, he became The Perfect Man, The Best of Mankind, The Model of Conduct, God’s Mercy to Mankind, and more. At the end of his career, his grandiose idea about himself leaped beyond the bounds of the planet when he became The Gatherer—the one who would be the first to be resurrected on the Day of Judgment and lead the multitudes for their adjudication before God. And on that fateful day he would be The Intercessor and The One Whose Intercession Shall Be Granted.[1],[2] Read more »
