Christians can easily demonstrate that Muhammad fails the biblical test of a true prophet by focusing on spiritual deception, failed predictions, and a departure from the ethics of Christ. He is not considered a continuation of previous prophets in the Bible but rather a departure from them.
Unlike the biblical prophets who received clarity from the Holy Spirit, Muhammad’s experiences are marked by signs of the occult.
Islamic sources (Sahih al-Bukhari 5765) admit he was bewitched by black magic, leading to hallucinations and mental confusion. His initial fear of being demon possessed by a jinn in the cave, combined with physical symptoms like foaming and hearing bells, suggests a soul afflicted by dark forces rather than a mind enlightened by God.
A prophet must be able to distinguish the voice of God from the voice of the Adversary. Muhammad’s foolish endorsement of the "Satanic Verses"—where he initially praised pagan goddesses only to later claim Satan deceived him—proves he lacked the spiritual armor of a true messenger. This lapse in discernment calls into question the entirety of his "revelations."
The biblical test for a prophet in Deuteronomy 18:22 is simple: if the prediction does not come to pass, the Lord has not spoken. Muhammad made objectively false claims, such as the prophecy in Sahih al-Bukhari 7114, where he stated that "the Hour" (Judgment Day) would arrive before a young boy present at the time became very old. That boy died over a thousand years ago, and the Hour never came, marking Muhammad as a false prophet by his own tradition's standards.
A true prophet leads others to holiness while a hypocrite uses "revelation" to satisfy personal desires. There are "convenient" verses that appeared to allow Muhammad to marry his daughter-in-law or bypass his own limits on polygamy. His transition from a preacher to a violent man and warmonger stands in direct opposition to the "turn the other cheek" example of Jesus, replacing the Cross with the sword.
the verdict on Muhammad’s prophethood is found in the "fruit" he produced (Matthew 7:16). While Jesus Christ offered His life as a ransom for many and brought a message of universal love, Muhammad established a system based on military conquest, slavery, and the denial of Christ’s divinity. Any spirit that denies that Jesus is the Son of God and that He died for the sins of the world is, by definition, the spirit of the Antichrist. For the Christian, Muhammad is not a successor to the prophets, but the very "wolf in sheep’s clothing" the New Testament warned would come.
