JUDAISM’S INFLUENCE ON ISLAM

BY ADAM SEEKER AND JC

QURAN - AN ORIGINAL BOOK?
• MUSLIMS LOVE TO CLAIM THAT ISLAM IS AN
“ORIGINAL” RELIGION
• YET, ACCORDING TO MUHAMMAD, ISLAM STARTED
AS A “STRANGE RELIGION” ACCORDING TO SAHIH
MUSLIM 145 and 146.
• AND ACCORDING TO MUSLIMS, MUHAMMAD MADE A
MIRACLE IN ISLAM: THE QURAN; AND MUHAMMAD
(SUPPOSEDLY) RECEIVE REVELATIONS FROM
ALLAH AND WRITTEN IN THE QURAN.

JEWS REJECTED MUHAMMAD’S MESSAGE
• As admitted from the encyclopedia, Jews scorned
Muhammad for being a “pretentious prophet” and copied
biblical references.
• However, there are also Jewish references which
Muhammad heard, copied, and stole words from the Jews
and their rabbis (when Muhammad was “friendly” with the
Jews)
• Now, we need to understand why Jews scorned
Muhammad (the pretentious “prophet”)

• Again, the tractate uses
the Hebrew word,
'komamiyuth', emphasizing
Adam's height was
ORIGINALLY 200 cubits
(300 feet) but according to
the rabbis, since Adam
sinned, his height was
reduced to 100 cubits (150
feet to be exact).

CONCLUSION
• Based from the Jewish sources and texts, Muhammad
DID copy and steal legends and fables from the Jews.
• We now understand why the Jews scorned Muhammad
for being a pretentious “prophet” by stealing Jewish fables
and legends and turning them into “Allah’s words”.
• Since Muhammad copied fables and legends, Islam is
based on the copied and stolen stories of fables and
legends of the Jews.
• (Rabbinic) Judaism actually influenced Islam!
