Episode notes
Pre-Prophethood Reputation
- The Prophet Muhammad was known as As-Sadiq Al-Ameen (the truthful, the trustworthy) by both friends and later enemies before prophethood.
- That consistent reputation undercuts claims he invented prophethood for gain or deception.
Quran vs Hadith: Same Source, Different Form
- The Qur'an and Hadith both originate from Allah but differ in transmission: the Qur'an was conveyed word-for-word while Hadith allows the Prophet's wording.
- This explains why the Qur'an remained uniform while hadith required rigorous authentication.
Enemy Smears Reveal Credibility
- The Meccan leaders couldn't credibly call Muhammad a liar, so they used other smears like 'madman' or 'sorcerer.'
- That reaction indicates his honesty was widely accepted and hard to refute even by opponents.
