David Wood On Why Muslims Pray To Mohammed (Video)
One of the reasons why Islam despises Christianity is because one of the foundational pillars upon which Christianity stands firm acknowledges the Divine nature of Jesus Christ. According to Islam, however, to believe that Jesus is Divine (or, in their words, to believe that Jesus is a co-equal partner with God) is an unpardonable sin called “shirk” that “Allah” will never forgive. Nonetheless, even though Muslims would never teach that Mohammed is “Allah” in the flesh, they associate and equate the “prophet” of Islam with “Allah” himself repeatedly every day. Islam teaches that “Allah” has no partners on one hand, but contradicts itself by teaching that one cannot become a Muslim unless they acknowledge that “There is no God but Allah and Mohammed is his messenger” per the Shahada on the other. In Islam, a Muslim’s “salvation” is therefore determined by their obedience and devotion to Mohammed, effectively elevating the “prophet” of Islam to the same co-equal status of Islam’s own deity. To acknowledge that there is no god but “Allah” is insufficient. You must acknowledge the “perfect man” Mohammed as well. This, of course, begs the question: Since Mohammed is co-equal with “Allah,” what does Mohammed’s “I-have-been-made-victorious-with-terror” moral character reveal about the nature of “Allah”? …
Revelation 13:18, “This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate [ps?phiz? – ‘reckon’] the number [arithmos – ‘multitude’ of people] of the beast, for it is the number [arithmos – ‘multitude’ of people] of a man [the false prophet Mohammed]. That number is [??? – ‘In The Name of Allah’ in Arabic].”
Hadith Bukhari 2996, “… Know that the earth belongs to Allah and His Messenger [Mohammed]…’”

Qur’an Sura 48:10, “Indeed, those who pledge allegiance to you, [O Muhammad] – they are actually pledging allegiance to Allah …”
Qur’an Sura 4:80, “He who obeys the Messenger [Mohammed] has obeyed Allah …”
David Wood: “… Muslims speak directly to Mohammed during their prayers. They therefore assume that Mohammed can hear them because it only makes sense to speak directly to Mohammed if he can hear what they’re saying. But if Muslims around the world — over and over again, day after day — talk to Mohammed during their prayers, what attribute would Mohammed need to have in order to hear them? Omnipresence. And that’s a divine attribute …” Watch the video below.
