Who is really Muhammad/Ahmad?

Hi Oliver

All I'm intersted in is what the Qur'an really says (and it does not matter if you agree or disagree with it) and the word in this verse: ummi does not mean uneducated. The word uneducated in Arabic means jahil and the word gentile means ummi.

More evidence if you turn to Qur'an 96 where it says Iqra' bi ismi rabak which is translated as read in the name of your God. But if Muhammad was indeed uneducated the word iqra' should have been talawa or recite (see Wortabet page 310B). And yes the word iqra' here means read. Therefore I must assume here that the subject of the verse can read which could mean that if the subject of the verse if it is indeed Muahmmad (and no the verse doea not mention the name of Muhammad) then he was able to read.

Now if you notice that the verse does not mention the name of Muhammad so we have no idea what the Qur'an is really talking about as usual.

In actual fact the Islamic tradition tells us that "Muhammad's" real name was Qutham and his kunya was Abul Qasim. Go figure

Now I like to to tell Muslims that claim that Muhammad was "prophesised" in the Bible that I changed my name to Muhammad and my friends call me Ahmad and Allah spoke to me via an angel called Gabriel. And I have two questions

1. Now do you think that may be I'm the Muhammad/Ahmad mentioned in the Bible?

2. If the Qur'an is really corrupted as Allah likes to say, then how can one be sure that the verses where the name of Muhammad/Ahmad are mentioned are not part of the corrupted Bible?

I still have to get an answer to these questions from muslims

It is a ridiculous claim by Muslims ...
