How has Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), who always rejected deities, now suddenly prostrated to the same pagans’ deities Lat, Manat and Uzzah?
(“Sirat ar Rasul Allah” by Ibn Ishaq, pages.
these are the exalted Gharaniq (high flying intermediary birds) whose intercession is approved. Have you thought of al-Lat and al-Uzza and Manat, the third. In other words Ibn Ishaq gave an impression that Satan is more powerful than Allah (Nauzubillah), who made and revealed his verses more efficiently before Allah Who was still managing to reveal His verses through His Angel Gabriel and left behind the Satan. Then Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) instantly changed his point of view. The false Hadith transmitter Ibn Ishaq transmitted “Qissa Gharaniq” (the story of intermediary cranes) with reference to the verses of Surah Al Najam Chapter 53 of the Quran, in which he accused Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) of not distinguishing the verses of Allah and the verses of Satan and that the Prophet (pbuh) purposely fabricated Allah’s words to compromise with Arab pagans on the matter of intercession (Persian Shafaat “ شفاعت”) through their deities Lat, Manat and Uzzah.įollowing the revelation of verses 53:19 and 53:20 of Surah Al Najam, Have you thought upon al-Lat and al-Uzza (53:19) And Manat, the third, the other?” (53:20), Ibn Ishaq transmitted the false tail that after these verses 53:19 and 53:20 of Surah Al Najam the next two verses, “ These are the exalted intermediaries cranes” and “ Whose intercession is to be hoped for” were originally revealed by Satan, and as soon as these verses were revealed the whole council of Arab pagans and Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) prostrated to the deities al-Laat, Manat and Uzzah and their conflicts on religion were peacefully dissolved but the Angel of revelation Gabriel’s timely Interventions made the Prophet of Islam aware that these verses were not from Allah as Satan had revealed them. Under Abbasid’s hands Ibn Ishaq wrote the earliest biography of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) namely “Sirat ar Rasul Allah” in which he brought doubts in the verses of the Quran, pressed lies on Allah, and accused Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) of fabricating Allah’s words. ( “Ibn Isḥaḳ - Encyclopedia of Islam” and “The Making of the Last Prophet”- University of South Carolina). Hence, the false Hadith transmitter Ibn Ishaq left Medina and settled in Baghdad, where he found employment with Abbasids, who were establishing their new Capital in Baghdad having overthrown the Umayyad Caliphate. However, Ibn Ishaq was ordered to get out of Medina for relating a false Hadith from a woman, Faṭima bint al-Mundhir, wife of Hisham ibn Urwa. Ibn Ishaq started collection of tales like his transmitter father and came into collection of Hadith. Ibn Ishaq was the son of Yasar’s third son Ishaq, who was a transmitter of akhbar (news) and also used to collect and recount tales of the past. The Christian grandfather of Ibn Ishaq was taken to Medina and made the slave of Qays ibn Makhrama ibn al-Muṭṭalib, where he acquired his family name/surname ( نسبة) “ al-Muṭṭalib” from the name of his master Qays ibn Makhrama ibn al-Muṭṭalib. Ibn Ishaq was the grandson of practicing Christian Yasar, who was arrested by Khalid Bin Waleed from Christian foundation in Abbey of Ayn -al-Tamar. The Abbasid caliph Al-Mansur commissioned Ibn Ishaq (ابن اسحٰق) to write a sweeping history of Islam starting from the creation of Adam to the present date together with the biography of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).
