Did anyone challenge the validity of that spirit who appeared to Mohammed?

Mohammed is the founder of Islam. Based on historical evidence, Islamic tradition tells us that a spirit appeared to Mohammed while he was mediating in a cave of Hira, outside of Mecca. And then, the spirit squeezed Mohammed very tightly, that he thought that he was going to die. And the spirit said to Mohammed, "Read." Mohammed was illiterate, he could not read. And he said, "I cannot read." Then the spirit squeezed him more tightly that he thought he was going to die. And the spirit said to him, "Read!" "I cannot read," Mohammed answered. Then the spirit squeezed him more tightly. He was afraid that he was going to die. And he said, "Read!" He said, "What shall I read?" The words should be recited because he could not read. How could you command someone who does not know how to read, read? You say to him, "Recite!" And then he said, "What shall I read?" And he said, "Read, in the name of thy Lord, who created man from the clot," etc. So the Quran is not the invention of Mohammed. The Quran was given to him by that spirit who appeared to him at the cave of Hira. Muslims say, that the spirit was Gabriel the angel. They say the angel Gabriel is the spirit who appeared to Mohammed at the cave of Hira , and he squeezed him tightly.

But listen, when you go the Bible, Gabriel appeared to many people. Gabriel appeared to Daniel, and Daniel was scared. And he said, "Do not be afraid, Daniel." Then he appeared Zecharia, the father of John the Baptist. And he was afraid, and Gabriel said, "Do not be afraid, do not be afraid." Then he appeared to Mary. And Mary was troubled, and Gabriel said, "Do not be afraid." But that spirit who met Mohammed and squeezed him, left him very troubled. He was scared to death. And when he went back to his wife Khadigah, he said, "I am scared, I am scared! I am trembling?" She said, "What?" He said, "I don't know, I don't know. I am afraid that I am possessed." Then she took him to a bishop in Mecca, by the name of Waraka Bin Nawfal, who was her cousin, and she told him about what happened. And this Waraka, the bishop of the Amunit cult in Mecca said to her, "Oh, be quiet. Be quiet. Mohammed will be the prophet of the Arabs."

First of all, because the first declaration was mistaken when he said that man was created from a clot.

Secondly, because the declaration of that spirit to Mohammed contradicts many declarations in the Bible, and God would not contradict himself.

And finally, if he was really the angel Gabriel he would have said, "Don't be afraid, Mohammed. I am Gabriel, and I am sending you a message." But he didn't. So if you analyze the situation, that spirit was not Gabriel by any means.

YUSUFALI: Created man, out of a (mere) clot of congealed blood:

SHAKIR: He created man from a clot.

 

Compared to earlier revelation in the Bible

Genesis 2:7

And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

 

That spirit was not tested against the earlier revelation made in the Bible. There is no single record that Mohammed asked of the spirit "Who are you?" It was merely taken for granted that it was Angel Gabriel. But Gabriel knew that man was created from the dust of the ground and not from a clot. Where does a clot comes from?

As that spirit was never challenged to confess that Jesus is the Lord and contradicts with the 4 Gospels about the death and crucifixion of Jesus, it must be not from God.

Surah/Chapter 004 - An-Nisâ. Verse 157And because of their saying: We slew the Messiah Jesus son of Mary, Allah's messenger They slew him not nor crucified, but it appeared so unto them; and lo! those who disagree concerning it are in doubt thereof; they have no knowledge thereof save pursuit of a conjecture ; they slew him not for certain

Rev 1:18 (Jesus said) I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive forevermore, Amen

Mal 3:6 (YHWH said) For I am the LORD, I change not

1Cor 14:33 For God is not the author of confusion

 

2Ti 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 

 

There are some contradictions of the revealed texts in the Quran as compared with the Holy Bible. That unidentified spirit must not be from God. The unidentified spirit is better known as the "spirit of Islam" as it started the religion of Islam.

 

 

The scriptural guidelines to test a spirit is found in the Bible.

1John 4:1

(Apostle John said) Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

1John 4:3

And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

1Cor 12:3

... no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.

1John 2:22

Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.

1John 2:23

Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: but he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.

 

References to Gabriel in the Bible
The Bible: Daniel 8:15-19
15 And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, and sought for the meaning, then, behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man.

16 And I heard a man's voice between the banks of Ulai, which called, and said, Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision.

17 So he came near where I stood: and when he came, I was afraid, and fell upon my face: but he said unto me, Understand, O son of man: for at the time of the end shall be the vision.

18 Now as he was speaking with me, I was in a deep sleep on my face toward the ground: but he touched me, and set me upright.

19 And he said, Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the last end of the indignation: for at the time appointed the end shall be.

The Bible: Luke 1:11-13

11 Then an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing at the right side of the altar of incense.
12 When Zechariah saw him, he was startled and was gripped with fear.
13 But the angel said to him: "Do not be afraid, Zechariah; your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to give him the name John.

The Bible: Luke 1: 26-31

26 In the sixth month, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee,
27 to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin's name was Mary.
28 The angel went to her and said, "Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you."
29 Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be.
30 But the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God.
31 You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus.
