Difference between revisions of "Prophet"

The [[Satanic Verses]] are words of "[[satan]]ic suggestion" which the [[Islam]]ic prophet Muhammad is alleged to have mistaken for divine revelation. The words praise the three pagan Meccan goddesses: ''al-Lāt'', ''al-'Uzzá'', and ''Manāt'' and can be read in early prophetic biographies of Muhammad by al-Wāqidī, Ibn Sa'd and the tafsir of al-Tabarī.

Religious authorities embraced the story for the first two centuries of the Islamic era. However, beginning in the 13th century, Islamic scholars started to reject it as being inconsistent with Muhammad's "perfection," which meant that Muhammad was infallible and could not be fooled by Satan.
