Bismillah - ir - rahman raheem
Today, I was just going through the faithfreedom site and I found something interesting but a big lie there that Insha Allah I will highlight and will refute.
The thing is that it is mentioned in criticism of Mohammed (pbuh) section in wikipedia and faithfreedom which claims that Mohammed pbuh suffered epilepsy(Temporal lobe seizures) as he had following symptoms
He doesn't gives the reference of hadith to support his claim but I assume he was not lying following is the points he gave to support his claim
1) Sweating as on Coldest day drops would fall from his forehead and sometimes from lips - This never happens with an epilepsy patient u can surf any site but u will not find this point
2) Beating sound of the bell - This is the symptom of schizophrenia not of epilepsy
3) Rapid heart rate pulse - This is not what an epilepsy patient goes through it does then it is anxiety. An anxious person is such that he can't even talk to anybody by looking him straight in the eye
4) Hallucination - Again this is the sign of schizophrenia and not that of epilepsy
6) Loss of memory - is a disease call amnesia not epilepsy if it does then it happens only when the patient takes medicines for it - a possible side effect
7) Flushed face - I don't know which hadith he has quoted in his claim.
The thing is I myself as an epilepsy patient can refute this as a completely lie as
What happens when a person gets a seizure is
1) He sees or it begins with an aura of Flashing lights or changing vision
2) He looses senses completely for a temporary period and soon as he recovers he feels anxious.
3) The persons fells down and starts shaking rapidly
5) Foaming from mouth - but he has not mentioned the hadith in his claim.
6) Vomitting - nor this is mentioned by him
7) Sometime he says something during the seizure which doesn't makes any sense
THE MOST IMPORTANT POINT IS THAT THE DISEASE EPILEPSY OR THE FREQUENCY OF THE SEIZURES GOES ON INCREASING
AND THE PERSON SUFFERS MORE AND MORE FROM ANXEITY AND GETS DEPRESSED AND POSSIBLY he gets suicidal thoughts OR WILL COMMIT SUICIDE
IF LEFT UNTREATED.
And we all know this never happened with prophet mohammed pbuh but it did with me.
I think some people will after reading hadith will claim that he suffered from epilepsy as well schizophrenia,amnesia,anxiety etc and all kinds of disease
but these are the same people who will accuse that he had all kinds of healths issues,demons etc and will never accept that he was a prophet.So we
should leave them as our job is only to send the message not to fight or abuse them.
If you want to know more about this you can ask me and No don't worry I won't commit suicide.
But I request my brothers and sisters who found this informative to pray for me so that I may get well quickly and be a good mubaligh
like brother Osama Abdullah & others.
Jazak Allah khayr
