Tall buildings
He asked the Prophet: "When will the Hour be?' He (saw) said: 'The one who is being asked about it does not know more than the one who is asking.'
He asked: 'Then what are its signs?' he said: when you see barefoot, naked, destitute shepherds competing in constructing tall buildings.
1400 years ago an illiterate man in the desert claimed we'd see the bedouins competing in building tall buildings.
If we take a look at
Arabia roughly 100 years ago we don't see tall buildings.
For more then a millennia after the Prophet there were no tall buildings in
Arabia.
Recently, in our own lifetimes tall buildings have appeared all over the desert.
Today
Dubai has many skyscrapers, 74 listed with the oldest one being built in 1999 according to Wikipedia.
Dubai built the tallest building in the world in 2010.

' he said: when you see barefoot, naked, destitute shepherds competing in constructing tall buildings.
This is a sign we have seen come true in our own lifetime
عثمان بن فاروق يجيب عن سؤال: ما الفرق بين الكتاب المقدس والقرآن؟
There are 2 billion Muslims in the world, and each time they pray, they turn their faces in one direction, towards Mecca. The Islamic term for this direction is qibla. When a Muslim prepares to pray, no matter where he is, he turns towards the qibla, the direction of the Kaba. The Kaba is a small cube shaped building in the courtyard of the mosque known as Masjid Al Haram, in the city of Mecca, in the country of Saudi Arabia.
“For every nation there is a direction to which they face (in their prayers). So hasten towards all that is good. Wheresoever you may be, God will bring you together (on the Day of Resurrection). Truly, God is Able to do all things. And from wheresoever you start forth (for prayers), turn your face in the direction of Al-Masjid-al-Haram (at Mecca), that is indeed the truth from your Lord. And God is not unaware of what you do.” (Quran 2:148-149)
Muslims do not worship the Kaba, or its contents, it is simply a focal point. Muslims worship One God, the Most Merciful, and the Most Wise. God decreed that when Muslims pray they all face one direction. It is a sign of unity that encapsulates the unity embedded in the religion of Islam.
The Arabic word for prayer is salah and it demotes a connection between the believer and God; when all believers face the same direction it adds an extra dimension to the connection. The prayer connects the believers to God and the qibla connects the believers to one another. It has been said that if one could observe all the Muslims at prayer we would be able to see lines of worshippers bowing and prostrating like the petals of a flower opening and closing in unison.
The qibla was not always oriented towards Mecca. The first Muslims prayed towards the al Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem. Around sixteen months after Prophet Muhammad and his followers migrated from Mecca to the city of Medina, the qibla was changed to the Kaba. According to accounts by Prophet Muhammad's companions, the change happened very suddenly. During the noon prayer, Prophet Muhammad, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him, received a revelation from God instructing him to, "Turn your face towards the Masjid al Haram".
“Thus, we have made you real believers in Islamic Monotheism, true followers of Prophet Muhammad and his legal ways, a just nation, witnesses over mankind and the Messenger a witness over you. And We made the Qibla (prayer direction towards Jerusalem) which you used to face, only to test those who followed the Messenger from those who would turn on their heels (i.e. disobey the Messenger). Indeed, it was great (heavy) except for those whom God guided. And God would never make your prayers to be lost (i.e. your prayers offered towards Jerusalem). Truly, God is full of kindness, the Most Merciful towards humankind.”
“Verily! We have seen the turning of your (Muhammad) face towards the heaven. Surely, We shall turn you to a Qibla (prayer direction) that shall please you, so turn your face in the direction of Al-Masjid- al-Haram (at Mecca). And wheresoever you people are, turn your faces (in prayer) in that direction...” (Quran 2:143-144)
Changing the direction of prayer establishes Mecca as the fixed central point for worship. It establishes a common sense or purpose.
Throughout the centuries, mathematicians and astronomers have established correct ways to determine the qibla (direction) from any point on the earth’s surface. There are two precise moments each year when the sun is directly above the Kaba, thus the direction of shadows in any sunlit place will point away from the qibla. There are also two moments per year when the sun is directly over the exact opposite position of the Kaba, thus pointing towards the qibla.
It is important the Muslims make every effort to face the right direction when praying; however, slight deviations do not invalidate a person’s prayer. Prophet Muhammad said, “What is between the east and the west is qibla”.[1] Nowadays it is easy to locate the qibla. It is a simple matter to look at a map and draw a line between your location and the city of Mecca. Compasses and computer programs that locate the qibla are readily available and most mosques throughout the world have a niche in the wall to indicate the qibla.
Islam is a religion of unity. Muslims are united by their belief in One God. They are one brotherhood united in the language and ritual of prayer and united by the direction of their worship. The qibla is not only about degrees of latitude or longitude it is about unity. It is about humankind united in the worship of the One God, Creator, and Sustainer of the universe
مسيحي يتحدى المسلمين أن يروه نبوءات لسيدنا محمد فجاءه الرد
The Prophet (saw) of Islam mentioned 2 types of the inhabitants of hell that he had not seen. In that they would come after his time.
Prophet Muhammad said:
Two are the types of the denizens of Hell whom I did not see: people having flogs like the tails of the ox with them and they would be beating people, and the women who would be dressed but appear to be naked, who would be inclined (to evil) and make their husbands incline towards it. Their heads would be like the humps of the bukht camel inclined to one side.
Reference : Sahih Muslim 2128
people having flogs like the tails of the ox with them and they would be beating people
This has appeared in the police of most countries (this is obviously about those who show injustice).
and the women who would be dressed but appear to be naked, who would be inclined (to evil) and make their husbands incline towards it. Their heads would be like the humps of the bukht camel inclined to one side.
Lets focus on the end of the hadith
.
Their heads would be like the humps of the bukht camel inclined to one side.
The Bukht camel is a kind of camel that has great humps
Is this not the case today?
Hairstyles high in the middle of the head like the hump of a camel
Is this not what the Prophet of Islam (saw) predicted 1400 years ago?
Prophet Muhammad said:
and the women who would be dressed but appear to be naked
That is to say that they are naked despite being dressed either because they wear transparent clothes, or tight clothes that show the shape of the limbs, or clothes that are too short and reveal what should be hidden like the top of the chest, shoulders, forearms, lower legs ... This has become widespread in some countries nowadays.
Lets take a recent look at American fashion and
europe . Say 100 years ago, the 1920's.
Compare that to today's fashion.
"Dressed but naked" is yet another sign that has come to pass in our own lifetime.

cleanliness is not only limited to the physical aspect but also extends to the environment. Muslims are required to keep their surroundings clean and pure. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught that a person’s cleanliness is half of their faith. He also emphasized the importance of cleaning one’s home, removing any impurities and keeping it tidy.
In Islam, personal hygiene is considered an essential part of maintaining good health. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) advised Muslims to brush their teeth regularly, trim their nails, and groom themselves. He also encouraged Muslims to take a bath regularly and wear clean clothes.
Islam also teaches the importance of maintaining cleanliness in food and drink. Muslims are required to consume only halal (permissible) food and avoid eating or drinking anything that is considered impure. Muslims are also encouraged to wash their hands before and after eating, and to use clean utensils.
Cleanliness is a fundamental teaching of Islam, and it is considered an essential aspect of the religion. Muslims are required to maintain a high level of personal hygiene and cleanliness in their surroundings. The teachings of Islam emphasize the importance of cleanliness for physical and spiritual purity, good health, and the attainment of peace and tranquility.
The Significance of Cleanliness in Islam:
Cleanliness holds great significance in Islam, and it is considered one of the fundamental teachings of the religion. Islam places great emphasis on cleanliness as it is believed to be a key component of faith. Here are some of the reasons why cleanliness is significant in Islam:
1. Spiritual purity: In Islam, cleanliness is linked to spiritual purity. Muslims are required to perform ablution (Wudu) before prayer to purify themselves both physically and spiritually.
2. Health and well-being: Cleanliness is essential for maintaining good health and well-being. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) emphasized the importance of personal hygiene, such as regular bathing, washing hands before eating, and brushing teeth.
3. Environmental cleanliness: Islam teaches Muslims to maintain a clean and healthy environment. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) emphasized keeping one’s home and surroundings clean, free from litter and waste.
4. Respect for others: Maintaining cleanliness is a sign of respect for oneself and others. Muslims are taught to keep themselves and their surroundings clean to prevent the spread of diseases and illnesses.
5. Social interactions: Cleanliness plays an important role in social interactions. Muslims are encouraged to maintain good personal hygiene, wear clean clothes, and keep their homes and surroundings clean to enhance their social interactions and relationships.
Cleanliness is significant in Islam as it is linked to spiritual purity, health, well-being, respect for oneself and others, and social interactions. Muslims are encouraged to maintain cleanliness in all aspects of their lives, from personal hygiene to environmental cleanliness. By doing so, they not only fulfill a religious obligation but also promote good health and well-being for themselves and their community

Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said:
"When honesty is lost, then wait for the Hour." It was asked, "How will honesty be lost?
He said, "When authority is given to those who do not deserve it, then wait for the Hour."
Sahih al-Bukhari 6496
Lets take a look at the later part of the above hadith.
"When authority is given to those who do not deserve it, then wait for the Hour."
I acknowledge today that corruption is global but lets look at
America's (alleged) rulers.
Donald Trump or Joe Biden?
We all know Trump had multiple contact numbers in Jeffery Ep-stains black book.
While Biden seems to have his own issues. Such as his own daughter making some claims about him.
Bibi Netanyahu,
Israels PM is currently on trial for not 1, but 3 separate corruption cases.
Don't forget about those behind the curtain such as casino mob boss Sheldon Anderson and Bill Gates of hell. While they may not be (s)elected their wealth gives them authority.
Is there one with authority that deserves it? Anywhere today?
Prophet Muhammad said:
"A man will go to sleep whereupon honesty will be taken away from his heart, and only its trace will remain. He then will sleep whereupon the remainder of the honesty will also be taken away (from his heart).
So there will come a day when people will deal in business with each other but there will hardly be any trustworthy persons among them. Then it will be said that in such-and-such a tribe there is such-and-such person who is honest,
Sahih al-Bukhari 6497
Sadly today liars have become common place.
Look to your own household, spouse, kids, siblings. Your co-workers, your friends. How many are trustworthy?
Do you need to visit another town to find one whose absolutely honest? It is said in Islam one who tells a lie is removed from the religion.
Can a believer be a coward?
The Prophet said: “Yes.”
It was said to him: Can a believer be a miser?
He said: “Yes.”
It was said to him: Can a believer be a liar?
He said: “No.”

, we know in the time of the prophets a man's word, was his bond. Today, people lie about what they had for dinner.
Reflect on these hadiths. Compare them to your personal situation.
Realize these words were spoken more then 1400 years ago.
Are they relevant today?
The Prophet of Islam (saw) spoke the truth

One day a man appeared, dressed in pure white clothes, his hair extraordinarily black. There were no signs of travel on him. None amongst us recognized him. At last he sat with the Apostle (saw). He knelt before him placed his palms on his thighs and said..
Inform me about the hour (of doom). The Prophet remarked: The one who is asked knows no more than the one who is inquiring.
The inquirer said: Tell me some of its indications. The Prophet said: That the slave-girl will give birth to her master.
Sahih Muslim 8a
1.) interpretation deals with vitro fertilization.
In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) - is a process of fertilization where an egg is combined with sperm outside the body.
Surrogacy is an arrangement, often supported by a legal agreement, whereby a woman (the surrogate mother) agrees to bear a child for another person or persons, who will become the child's parent(s) after birth.
With this method women with money can pay surrogates to carry their baby. With this option today wealthy people don't have to worry about pregnancies toll on the body or deal with the pains of labor.
Once born the child is given/returned to the wealthy family. Thus the surrogate, the slave gives birth to her master.
2_
Another interpretation
refers to the spread of filial impiety, that is, children will treat their mothers as the master treats his slave, for example by resorting to humiliation, insults, beatings and overexploitation.
It is interesting to ponder on how the companions of the Prophet imagined these hadith back in their day.
How about the thought of being conceived in a test tube 1400 years ago? This is unthinkable 14 centuries ago.
Yet 1400 years ago the Prophet of Islam said..
The slave-girl will give birth to her master.
So you tell me, Has the slave girl given birth to her master?
The signs are clear for those who give thought.

Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon himworshiped God (the Father) alone, like Christ and all the prophets before him
Christ said
3 Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.
John 17:3
Christ did not claim divinity and restricted divinity to God (the Father) alone
He did not say that he is a god or that the Holy Spirit is a god
Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him despised false worship to any man-made gods or images or anything in creation as a god. He hated all of the complexities and degradation to which it leads.
This is in direct obedience to the second commandment "Thou shalt not make any graven images."
But we find pictures and statues in churches, and some Christians prostrate to the statue of Jesus and prostrate to the statue of Mary
Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, performed these same ceremonies in worship to what we find the prophets doing before him, bowing to toward the ground and prostrating (falling on the face) while praying and worshipping.
Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, never drank alcohol or strong drink, even though it was a very normal thing for people of his time and place.
"O you believers! Intoxicating drinks, gambling, fortune telling, etc. is the hated work of the devil. So stay away from all of that horrible stuff, that you will be successful."
Paying or collecting interest has always been forbidden in Islam.
"O you who have believed, do not consume usury, doubled and multiplied." (3:130 Quran)
The Prophet (saw) said a time would come when lending on interest would be global.
“A time will come upon people in which they will consume usury.” It was said, “All of the people?” The Prophet said, “Whoever does not consume it will be affected by its dust.”
Musnad Aḥmad 10191
Usury is indeed global today. Let us begin by defining the word.
Usury is when you lend someone money while expecting a greater sum eventually to be paid in return.
There are many forms of Usury today. Whether they be credit cards, loans for vehicles, mortgages on homes, ect. Outlets such as payday advance chains solely exist to ask you to pay more money back then what they actually lent you.
O you who have believed, fear Allah and give up what remains [due to you] of interest, if you should be believers. And if you do not, then be informed of a war [against you] from Allah and His Messenger.
(Quran 2:278-9)
It is clear why God has forbidden interest. Because it eats a borrowers wealth. While the lender has to do absolutely nothing to increase his money. A man today spends 30, 40 years paying off a loan for his home which usually ends up equaling 2, 3x the actual value of the home. This is all due to interest. It is interest that puts man into debt.
Our current paper dollar is literally built on interest. For every dollar the US borrows from the Fed 2 dollars are created. $1 to be repaid and an additional $1 in interest. Have you seen this monstrosity? Never can this be repaid because the money does not exist in the system to do so.
Now our money system is a joke. It survives today because it is literally built on interest / Usury.
Even if you avoid taking out loans of any form you are still involved in interest because our paper money is built on it.
"The dust of it" touches you.
“A time will come upon people in which they will consume usury.” It was said, “All of the people?”
The Prophet said, “Whoever does not consume it will be affected by its dust.”
How could an illiterate man from 1400 years ago have known this would come to pass?
The request for forgiveness must be from God (the Father) directly, without intermediaries who cannot forgive themselves
Christ also asked the Father for forgiveness directly
Your book is distorted and you follow Paul, who destroyed the original Christian doctrine
The straw that broke the camel's back came when the Pope issued in Rome huge quantities of indulgences, which he signed and stamped with the official seal, to be sold to the public who wished to be forgiven for the sins they had committed.
The Pope's representative would go around the cities and villages selling indulgences that erased the buyer's sins because the Pope He is God's representative in this world, and God must honor His promise of forgiveness.
When this idea succeeded in hoarding huge amounts of silver and gold for the church, the Pope’s mind developed another idea: purchasing indulgences in the name of dead relatives in order to help them enter the Kingdom of Heaven. This was the straw that made the German priest Martin Luther write his book “95 Theses” in 1517.
The prophet of Islam said a day would come when the deserts would turn green.
Prophet Mohamed spoke very carefully about a scientific fact realized by scientists few years ago. He said ( God will not held day of resurrection unless Arab land returns greens and rivers again ) [Narrated by Muslim.] scientifically, it was proved that one day the Arabian peninsula was full of greens and rivers as satellite photos confirm that there are buried rivers under the sand of Arab land , one of the great scientists of the American space agency (NASA) says that the taken photos for the desert had shown that one day this area was covered with rivers and lakes like Europe and one day in the future it will back again like the past.
NASA scientists confirms that one day desert of Rub ' Al Khali and the Arabian Peninsula was covered with rivers, forests and animals and they confirm that this land will back again like the past , as referenced by the prophetic Hadith.
Indeed the desert is turning green. As depicted by the images,
this is yet another sign we have seen come true in our own life time.
In your own grandparents time none of this existed.

الحوار الكامل الرائع بين محمد حجاب و جوردان بيترسون : الإسلام و إمكانية السلام / مترجم للعربية
The calendar year of Islam begins not with the birthday of our prophet (peace be upon him) not from the time that the revelation came to him (Bethat) nor from the time of his ascension to heaven, but with the migration (Hijra) from an undesirable environment into a desirable place to fulfill Allah's command. It was migration from a plot that was set by the leaders of the Quraysh who were plotting to kill prophet Muhammad, and to destroy the truth that today is being conveyed to mankind everywhere against tyranny and injustice. Their purpose was to destroy the foundation of the Islamic state, the Sunnah of the tradition of the prophet, and to prevent the revelation being delivered by Allah's messenger to mankind.
The Islamic calendar is reckoned from the time of migration (Hijra) of Prophet Mohammad (Peace Be Upon Him) from Mecca to Madina. The Prophet's decision to migrate from Mecca came after several years of inhuman treatment of the faithful by the powerful tribes who were united despite all their feuds to stop the spread of Islam.
Prophet Mohammad's decision to leave Mecca coincided with the infidel's plan to assassinate him. In 622 AD, the Quresh tribesmen held a meeting and decided that a band of young men, one from each tribe, should assassinate Prophet Mohammad collectively so that their responsibility for the murder could not be placed on any particular tribe.
On the eventful night, the Prophet asked his cousin Ali Ben Abutalib to take his place in bed to make the Meccans think that he was asleep. The Prophet himself slipped out unobserved alongwith his loyal follower Abu Bakr (who was chosen as the first C aliph after the death of the prophet). They secretly made their way to a cave named Thawr, not far from Mecca and lay in hiding there for a day or two until Abu Bakr's son reported that the search for him had been given up. Then the two set out from Madina on camel back. They reached Quba, on the edge of the Madina oasis, on 12th Rabiul Awwal. With Mohammad's arrival in Quba a new phase of his career and glory of Islam started.
This migration has a special significance in the history of Islam. It ended the Meccan period of humiliation and torture and began the era of success. His own people to whom he preached Islam for 13 years neglected the Prophet of Islam. But he was cordially received in Madina as an honored chief.
In Madina his power enhanced day by day. Here he was not only the religious leader but took the role of a politician and statesman too. Prophet Mohammad expired ten years after his migration to Madina but only in one decade he changed the course of human history.
In view of this special significance of the Prophet's migration the consultative body advised the Second Islamic Caliph, Omar ben Khattab, to start the Islamic year from the date of migration of the Prophet from Mecca to Madina.
According to early Moslem scholars, Abu Musa Al Shari drew attention of Omar to an improperly dated debenture or IOU which was payable in the month of Shaban but it was not clear which Shaban was actually meant, the present one or the coming one. Omar called the dignitaries for consultation who made several suggestions to begin the Islamic calendar.
Ali (who later became the fourth caliph) suggested the Hijra as the beginning of the Islamic year with Moharram as its first month. Consequently, Caliph Omar in 21 A.H. or 641 A.D introduced the Islamic calendar in its present form.
QURANIC GUIDANCE
The guidance about the Islamic calendar is taken from the following verses from the Holy Quran: (In the name of GOD most gracious and most merciful)
"Lo the number of the months with God is twelve months." IX:36.
"They ask thee, of new moons. Say: They are fixed seasons for mankind and for the pilgrimage." II:189.
"He it is who appointed the sun a splendor and the moon a light, and measured for her stages, that ye might know the number of the years, and the reckoning." X:5
The Islamic Calendar of 12 Lunar Months is determined by observation of the new moon with no effort by intercalation (addition) or other means to synchronize the Lunar year with the Solar year.

Someone told me
Thanks for sharing info, I know what your point is. I am just throwing my opinion.
One can’t just compare Jesus with current day Christians. One need to understand the dominant race in Christianity and their background, how they accepted this religion and how it impacted their daily lives.
Jesus was a Prophet, like Abraham, Moses and Muhammed peace be upon them.
The Christians of today's days are product of Roman Empire’s conveniently adoption of Jesus’ religion in 3rd century.
The Europeans had a mixed and scattered culture for thousands of years, with pagan beliefs and other fairy tales dominating the landscape.
With the advent of Christianity in Europe, the locals adopted the religion very quickly, as it did not confronted with their life styles and culture.
Under Constantine who imported (officially) the religion in Europe, Romans ensured that the new religion is in full compliance to their culture and rituals.
For example, during the counsel of Nicaea several aspects of belief systems were standardized before masses (of Europe, non-Semitics, Caucasians) can have a hold onto different version of Bible or common daily life practices of Orthodox Jews. The East Bazentine, new Roman Empire to the central Europe and pockets of other areas in North were mainly pagan at that time. So sculptures, divine figures, certain celebrations, festivities were part of their social life. Moral values were as good as any other region of that time (The middle-east that had Jewish population and influence on others were considered very conservatives, so you can imagine what was going on in Europe), drinking and pork eating was normal and commonly practiced.
So the importer of the new religion made sure that standards set by Bible for Isrealites must not collide with the relaxed (no restrictions) attitude of Europeans towards religion. They customized the religion to best suite the new tenants that eventually became the torch bearer of Christianity within few centuries. The original followers and preachers fell in the background and eventually forgotten. The religion totally changed and took new course where the founder died for the sins, giving followers clean chit to do whatever they do, keep His sculpture in Church, follow the re-branded customs of pagans with renewed stories linked to Jesus for every celebration and festivals, drink and eat pork as before and create excuses (from Jesus’ life) for everything that they do against the Ten Commandments.
I think most believers realize a large part of feminism is getting woman to remove her clothing.
If you look at feminism's role the past 50 years the signs are clear. After all it started with the burning of the bra. Sure, many (here at least) will deny this and i find for the most part, they are atheist / agnostic. Not upon any Abrahamic direction. It's not worth debating, woman certainly wears less today then yesterday. The question is why?
We live in a world where children get access to pornographic material by 7, 8 years of age. Even if you refuse to get your own child a cellphone
guaranteed one of there friends has one. This even happens in schools today.
Modern day nude beaches are common across the globe.
Where does all of this lead? What kind of society do you think we are moving into when the above is becoming the every day norm?

This hasn't happened on my street, so its not wide spread yet. But it is happening today.
What do you think its gonna look like in 5 more years, 10? What will you do when you see this happening on your street?
The Prophet of Islam has never been wrong because he doesn't speak from himself. He has only revealed revelation from the Almighty.
Indeed the hour is close. When it strikes a woman who is carrying a child will have a miscarriage. A child's hair will literally turn grey. You can't fathom the horror.
Perhaps you've heard of the American soldier suicide rate.They actually ran campaigns trying to stop it like it was some kind of epidemic.
Sure, a soldier see's alot of atrocities that could explain a desire for death. As it is many soldiers take a daily pharmaceutical cocktail just to function. Perhaps that is part of the problem?
Big pharma does not seek to cure, only in the treatment is there profit. With this in mind many Americans today take medication to deal with depression. Whether western medicine improves things one can only guess as its clear to see today many doctors are corrupt and get kickbacks from Big pharma for every script they write.
Is there anyone in your family who deals with depression?
According to statistics it affects 17 million Americans annually.
Nation wide its a small percentage but still 17 million people is a massive number.
He was an American pathologist and euthanasia proponent. He publicly championed a terminal patient's right to die by physician-assisted suicide. Kevorkian said that he assisted at least 130 patients to that end. He was convicted of murder in 1999 and was often portrayed in the media with the name of "Dr. Death".
Whatever the case may be, many today have lost the desire for life. Young and old, sick and healthy. Rich and poor. More then a few people just want out.
You yourself might be happy go lucky with a real zest for life. The worlds literally your oyster with doors opening everywhere you turn. You're probably asking yourself what is the point of all of this "doom and gloom"?
Did you know the Prophet of Islam (saw) predicted this would happen back in the 7th century?
Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “The Hour will not be established until a man passes by the grave of another man and he says: Would that I were in his place!”

The Prophet of Islam has never been wrong because he doesn't speak from himself. He has only revealed revelation from the Almighty
The best evidence that the gospels and Acts of the Apostles are mere works of fiction is scientific or historical or literary evidence,
We can even establish by literary analysis that the original New Testament gospel was a work of fiction. Rhoads, Dewey and Michie point out, in Mark as Story that the narrator would need to have had unlimited omniscience to know everything he wrote. They say:
The composer of this story has used sophisticated storytelling techniques, developed the characters and the conflicts, and built suspense with deliberateness, telling the story to generate certain insights and responses in the audience.
Literary evidence can also be used to demonstrate that the Acts of the Apostles is a work of fiction. For example, in An Introduction to the New Testament, Raymond E. Brown points to several problematic issues:
In his undisputed letters Paul gives us no information about the first missionary journey.
doubt has been raised about the Apollos episode at Ephesus as Lucan theologising
Since there is no confirmation in the undisputed (or even the pseudonymous) Pauline letters of the appeal to Caesar and the journey to Rome, some who challenge the historicity of Acts dismiss the account of Paul's hazardous sea journey in Acts 27:1-28:14 as novelistic fiction.
We can never verify the existence and martyrdom of Stephen, or the killing of James, son of Zebedee by Herod Agrippa
Arthur J. Bellinzoni takes this comment further, in The New Testament: An Introduction to Biblical Scholarship:
Whether this account [Acts 6] of the Hellenists and of Stephen's martyrdom reflects actual events in the history of the early church or is simply Lukan "theologized" history with little or no factual content is debated by equally competent scholars. The stories in Acts are permeated by literary, , leaving us with little confidence about details of the early history of the Jesus movement.
