Habib the Carpenter

In the hadith, there’s a hadith about Muhammad that reads:

As if I am looking at the Prophet while he was speaking about one of the prophets whose people have beaten and wounded him, and he was wiping the blood off his face and saying, “O Lord! Forgive my, people as they do not know.”

Sahih al-Bukhari 6929
Stoning,…

It’s important to note that it’s Muhammad who was beaten, wounded and was wiping the blood off his face. He’d been stoned as a false prophet by his tribe, as his tribe had threatened him. How do I know this? Continue reading.

Muhammad is saying a paraphrase of a saying of Jesus in the Bible:

Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.”

And they divided up his clothes by casting lots.

NIV Luke 23:34
Jesus being crucified.

The hadith is deliberately obfuscated by Islamic “scholars” to be about an invented character, Habib the Carpenter or Habib al-Najjar. This character is not mentioned in the hadith, but only in tafsir, al-Bayḍāwī and Ibn Kathir.

Wood shavings

Habib, a carpenter, is presumed to have lived in Antioch, supposedly in the time of Jesus the carpenter. He’s supposedly a martyr and a symbol of unwavering faith, and a Muslim, despite Muhammad being the first Muslim. The relevant passage in the Koran is:

36:13 And present to them an example: the people of the city, when the messengers came to it – 14 When We sent to them two but they denied them, so We strengthened [them] with a third, and they said, “Indeed, we are messengers to you.”

15 They said, “You are not but human beings like us, and the Most Merciful has not revealed a thing. You are only telling lies.”

16 They said, “Our Lord knows that we are messengers to you, 17 And we are not responsible except for clear notification.”

18 They said, “Indeed, we consider you a bad omen. If you do not desist, we will surely stone you, and there will surely touch you, from us, a painful punishment.”

19 They said, “Your omen [i.e., fate] is with yourselves. Is it because you were reminded? Rather, you are a transgressing people.”

20 And there came from the farthest end of the city a man, running. He said, “O my people, follow the messengers. 21 Follow those who do not ask of you [any] payment, and they are [rightly] guided. 22 And why should I not worship He who created me and to whom you will be returned? 23 Should I take other than Him [false] deities [while], if the Most Merciful intends for me some adversity, their intercession will not avail me at all, nor can they save me? 24 Indeed, I would then be in manifest error. 24 Indeed, I have believed in your Lord, so listen to me.”

26 It was said, “Enter Paradise.”

He said, “I wish my people could know 27 Of how my Lord has forgiven me and placed me among the honored.”

28 And We did not send down upon his people after him any soldiers from the heaven, nor would We have done so.

29 It was not but one shout, and immediately they were extinguished.

30 How regretful for the servants. There did not come to them any messenger except that they used to ridicule him.

31 Have they not considered how many generations We destroyed before them – that they to them will not return?

32 And indeed, all of them will yet be brought present before Us.

Koran 36:13-32

My refutation and explanation of this passage is at: Koran 36:13-32.

The speech of “Habib” is from verse 20. After his speech and around verse 26, the scholars invent:

  • Habib witnessed the miracles of the messengers;
  • Habib’s son was healed;
  • Habib preached with the messengers;
  • The townspeople stoned him to death;
  • With his martyrdom, Allah says, “Enter Paradise” (Verse 26);
  • Habib enters Paradise and continues to make speeches;
  • Habib’s tomb is believed to be in the Habib-i Neccar Mosque in Antakya, Turkey.

Of course, all of this is invention, shirk, all designed to hide the fact that it’s Muhammad as Habib who was stoned as a false prophet and injured by stoning and made unconscious, then rescued by his fellow Muslims.

Stoned,…

This passage is not a recitation or revelation but an account of a performance by Muhammad and his friends, his fellow Muslims, performed in front of Muhammad’s tribe. How? I’ll break it down with my explanations within {}:

36:13 And present to them an example: the people of the city, when the messengers came to it – 14 When We sent to them two but they denied them, so We strengthened [them] with a third, and they said, “Indeed, we are messengers to you.”

{Muhammad sends two Muslims to his tribe, while remaining behind.}

15 They said, “You are not but human beings like us, and the Most Merciful has not revealed a thing. You are only telling lies.”

{The leader of Muhammad’s tribe tells them the truth, that they’re not angels but are “human beings” of his tribe (“like us”) and that the idol Allah, the most merciful, has not revealed anything, as it’s an idol. He tells them that they’re liars.}

16 They said, “Our Lord knows that we are messengers to you, 17 And we are not responsible except for clear notification.”

{Muhammad’s messengers repeat their lie and deny being responsible.}

18 They said, “Indeed, we consider you a bad omen. If you do not desist, we will surely stone you, and there will surely touch you, from us, a painful punishment.”

{The ruler of Muhammad’s tribe considers Muslims a bad omen (he’s right). He then threatens them with stoning and promises it will be painful. And guess what? He’s right.}

19 They said, “Your omen [i.e., fate] is with yourselves. Is it because you were reminded? Rather, you are a transgressing people.”

{The Muslims threaten again and claim that the tribe is transgressing.}

20 And there came from the farthest end of the city a man, running.

{Muhammad arrives, running. Islamic scholars claim this man is Habib, when his speech clearly shows he’s Muhammad, and he’s recognised as Muhammad, the leader of the Muslims, and the would-be tyrant over his tribe.}

He said, “O my people, follow the messengers. 21 Follow those who do not ask of you [any] payment, and they are [rightly] guided. 22 And why should I not worship He who created me and to whom you will be returned? 23 Should I take other than Him [false] deities [while], if the Most Merciful intends for me some adversity, their intercession will not avail me at all, nor can they save me? 24 Indeed, I would then be in manifest error. 24 Indeed, I have believed in your Lord, so listen to me.”

{The speech is clearly that of Muhammad. The leader of Muhammad’s tribe then has Muhammad stoned as a false prophet.}

26 It was said, “Enter Paradise.” {Allah doesn’t speak, ever.}

{Nothing happened. Obviously, it was a lie (or Muhammad fell unconscious from the stoning).}

He said, “I wish my people could know 27 Of how my Lord has forgiven me and placed me among the honored.”

{Muhammad makes a speech, showing he’s not in Paradise.}

28 And We did not send down upon his people after him any soldiers from the heaven, nor would We have done so.

{Who are the soldiers? Muhammad’s companions, skilled in battle.}

29 It was not but one shout, and immediately they were extinguished.

{The “shout” refers to the trump of the last day. Muhammad continues to fantasise about his revenge upon his tribe.}

30 How regretful for the servants. There did not come to them any messenger except that they used to ridicule him.

{Muhammad admits that he and his messengers were ridiculed – this is through the Koran.}

31 Have they not considered how many generations We destroyed before them – that they to them will not return?

{Nothing happened.}

32 And indeed, all of them will yet be brought present before Us.

{Muhammad, his men and his tribe all died and are dust in their graves in the desert.}

Koran 36:13-32

Where did Muhammad run from? You can see from the top of the picture:

As you can see, this simple explanation is better than what the scholars have, exposes Muhammad as a liar and a false prophet and shows he was performing his Koran, not reciting it.

Muhammad, the Black Stone worshipper, was stoned.

Further Confirmation

Muhammad, playacting as Moses, was unable to part the water.

And [mention, O Muḥammad], when Moses said to his people, “O my people, why do you harm me while you certainly know that I am the messenger of Allāh to you?”

And when they deviated, Allāh caused their hearts to deviate. And Allāh does not guide the defiantly disobedient people.

Koran 61:5

Muhammad pretends to be Moses, and he’s harmed by his tribe. The Israelites didn’t do this to the real Moses, and Moses wasn’t a messenger of Allah. Nor would the real Moses blame Allah twice.

Muhammad was a false prophet, for a false god, Allah, for a false religion, Islam, without even a false book, the Koran.
