    So can you tell me one thing, are you sure that Prophet Muhammad pbuh wasnt bluffing??? coz till the age of 40 he did sins and after 1 fine night Lord God showered his blessings on Prophet Muhammad coz he did all sins???, according to your words than prophet Muhammad is a like a dongi sadu that dwellers for money coz he might have thought that best way to earn money is by religious way and he had a business mind before 40 right.
    I have no hard feeling for his words, coz he preached Love which i believe in the most rather than any religion.

    Brother, he didn't want to do trade. He was a shepherd. He was hired because of his honesty because at that time there weren't many honest people.
    And he showed signs of prophethood before age 40 but they were inconclusive. They include:

    • When her mother was carrying him in her womb, it glowed.
    • When he was a child and playing with other children, the children reported that two men came and cut Muhammad pbuh into two and washed something from his inside and then put him together. Later, people identified them as angels who washed the prophet's heart from evil.
    • When her foster mother used to carry him on her old camel, it would suddenly become agile.
    • When he was still a child and travelling with his uncle, a great Chrisitan scholar of that time saw him and said, "I sense prophethood in this child"

    There are others but I can't recall them at the moment.

    From a classical manual on Islamic Law (Risala Ibn Abi Zayd):

    37.36. The hadd for stealing

    37.36a. The penalty for theft

    If someone steals a fourth of a dinar of gold or the equivalent of goods worth three dirhams or the weight of three dirhams in silver on the day of the theft, his hand is cut off if he stole that from a protected place. His hand is not cut off if he snatches them.

    [ This penalty is for men and women, free and slave, Muslim or others. The position of the school is that the value of the object is calculated on the day of the theft, not the day of the judgement. The dirhams are pure silver and one does not any attention to whether they are equivalent to a fourth of a dinar.

    [This is when there are dirhams in circulation in the land where the theft occurred.]

    The basis for this is what is in the Sahih collection where the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,said, "The hand of a theft is only cut off for a quarter of a dinar or more." In the Muwatta' it is reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "The hand of a thief is cut off for a shield worth 3 dirhams."

    [The thief must also be adult and sane and not own the stolen object. Also excluded is a mother or father stealing the child's property. If someone is forced to take part in a theft, his hand is not cut off. This would be like the case of someone who is starving.]

    It must be stolen from a protected place, which is in a place in which is normally put for safety. That varies according to individuals and property. Some places are secure for one person but not for another, or are secure for some goods rather than others.

    The hand is not cut off for snatching, which is when he takes something openly in when someone is inattentive.] ​

    Your other comment is a tactic known as poisoning the well.


    Also, to the others:

    1- What is your opinion on the jewish Prophets who were also the political leaders of their people?

    2- We know the truth of our Prophet's claim of Prophethood because of
    a) His truthfulness and honesty
    b) Multiple miracles that happened at his hands

    Both of which are facts that have reached us through reliable witnesses. how else would you know the truth of a prophet's claim?
