How do you evaluate a claim to prophethood? This episode applies three tests to Muhammad, peace be upon him: what did he stand to gain, did his actions match his words, and did his predictions come true? The results are striking. He turned down wealth, kingship, and all of Arabia to stop preaching. He died with his armor mortgaged for food. His own scripture corrected him publicly — permanently. He made specific predictions about future empires and events that were fulfilled. The profile of a fraud and the profile of a prophet look very different.
