Very good quality article everyone -- very thorough, well written and balanced. I think I may have found a few small things that may need a little tweak:

1. Misplaced apostrophe. English is not my first language, so I may be wrong, but I think below is a "singular ownership", so the apostrophe should go before the s (so it reads: Muhammad’s) ?

  • "...The Quran, however, provides minimal assistance for Muhammads' chronological biography..."

2. Spelling of Muhammad / continuity through article. Should different spellings of Muhammad (in sentences below) be changed?

  • "...who is said to have foreseen Muhammed's career as a prophet of God..."
  • “624 - Invasion of Thi Amr, Muhammed raids Ghatafan tribes.”
  • "...Thomas Carlyle in his book Heroes and Hero Worship and the Heroic in History (1840) describes Muhammed as "[a] silent great soul..."
  • "...Hence the vacillation between the familiar and the alien; Mohammed is always the imposter..." >> but this one is from a quote, so probably should remain how it is originally spelt in the quote?

Just small things I thought I should ask about, otherwise article was very good. 86.27.191.102 (talk) 17:28, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, again! Fixed everything, except for the quote, since whoever added it did leave an "as written" mark in the wikicode. Ian.thomson (talk) 19:13, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Muhammad cannot read or write

The Quran mentions (7:157) "Those who follow the Messenger, the Prophet who can neither read nor write whom they find written with them in the Torah and the Gospel ..." It can be found in Bible, Isaiah (29:12) " And if the document is given to one who cannot read and he is asked to read it, he will say: I can't read" Abdusalambaryun (talk) 19:28, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It doesn't actually say that. I'm not sure why you are choosing that interpretation as it isn't a literal one. It appears the usual English translation is "unlettered" which has a variety of meanings. Dougweller (talk) 21:00, 22 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Abdusalambaryun, the issues around the word "ummi" were pointed out to you at Talk:Quran in this exchange. You've ignored that and now made this POV edit. In light of the previous discussion, that is tendentious. DeCausa (talk)▪

Please remove all the pictures those are depicting Hazrat Muhammad (Sm), because these are contrary to the Islamic believe and tradition. 202.4.173.55 (talk) 06:45, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Gharaneegh in the newly published secular scholarly sources

The current text only reflects a specific point of view and states it as a fact:

Muhammad, desperately hoping for an accommodation with his tribe, either from fear or in the hope of succeeding more readily in this way, pronounced a verse acknowledging the existence of three Meccan goddesses considered to be the daughters of Allah, and appealing for their intercession. Muhammad later retracted the verses at the behest of Gabriel, claiming that the verses were whispered by the devil himself.[72][82][n 5] This episode known as "The Story of the Cranes" (translation: قصة الغرانيق, transliteration: Qissat al Gharaneeq) is also known as "Satanic Verses". Some scholars argued against the historic authenticity of these verses on various grounds.[83] While this incident received widespread acceptance by early Muslims, strong objections to it were raised starting from the 10th century, on theological grounds. The objections continued on this point until rejection of these verses eventually became the only acceptable orthodox Muslim position.[84]

Below is an example of an academic source that does NOT agree with the above account of story:

Most European biographers of Muḥammad, on the other hand, accept it as historical on the assumption that it is inconceivable that later Muslims could have invented it (e.g., Watt, Mecca, 103). This reason, however, is in itself insufficient. The story in its present form (as related by al-Ṭabarī, al-Wāḳidī, and Ibn Saʿd) cannot be accepted as historical for a variety of reasons given in al-ḳurʾān , at 404. This does not rule out the possibility of some historical kernel behind the story.

I therefore propose to rewrite the section.--Kazemita1 (talk) 07:52, 20 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

i want to complain about the content of the article. the file (Mohammed receiving revelation from the angel Gabriel.jpg) show a virtual photo for the prophet muhammed. In Islam it's prohibited to draw the photo of a prophet. please remove it very soon. --Sghaier mohamed (talk) 20:28, 26 July 2014 (UTC) Sghaier mohamed (talk) 20:28, 26 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
