Islam teaches Jesus will return to destroy Christianity and enforce Islam (Qur’an 43:61, Hadith Sahih Bukhari). Satan has distorted biblical prophecy to support this belief. The faithful Jesus will return to judge the nations (Matthew 25:31-46).
Introduction
From the beginning, Satan has sought to deceive humanity away from the true God. Islam, founded by Muhammad in the 7th century AD, is among the greatest of these deceptions, luring over 1.9 billion souls away from salvation in Jesus Christ. Through this article, the narrative unfolds of how Islam was established by Satan to endorse death and violence, painting Muhammad as a prophet of heresy and blasphemy, ultimately deceiving billions into eternal destruction.
1. Satan’s Strategy of Counterfeit Religions
The Bible warns of Satan’s tactics:
“And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light.” (2 Corinthians 11:14)
When Muhammad claimed to encounter the angel Gabriel in the Cave of Hira, he feared he was demon-possessed. His wife Khadija and a Nestorian priest cousin (Waraqa ibn Nawfal) convinced him otherwise. Yet the Bible warns true angels of God never bring a false gospel (Galatians 1:8).
2. Muhammad: The Prophet of Heresy
Muhammad’s teachings directly contradict the true gospel:
- Denied Jesus as God’s Son (Qur’an 4:171)
- Denied His crucifixion and atonement (Qur’an 4:157)
- Denied the Trinity (Qur’an 5:73)
The Bible says:
“Who is the liar? It is whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a person is the antichrist—denying the Father and the Son.” (1 John 2:22)
Muhammad’s denial of Christ’s divinity places him under the spirit of antichrist.
3. Islam’s Foundation of Violence
Muhammad experienced a life dominated by war, assassination attempts, and conquests. Early Islamic history records:
- Raids on Meccan caravans (e.g., Badr)
- Beheading of the Banu Qurayza, a Jewish tribe
- Expansion through jihad under the Rashidun Caliphate
Jesus, in contrast, rebuked violence:
“Put your sword in its place, for all who take the sword will perish by the sword.” (Matthew 26:52)
4. Satan’s Plan to Keep Billions from the Cross
Islam denies the Cross of Christ, the only means of salvation. The Qur’an states:
“They did not kill him, nor did they crucify him…” (Qur’an 4:157)
This lie strips humanity of its only hope. The Bible teaches:
“For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.” (1 Corinthians 1:18)
5. Muhammad’s Revelations: Demonic or Divine?
Muhammad often had seizures during revelations (Ibn Ishaq, Sirat Rasul Allah). The Bible teaches that prophetic words come under control:
“The spirits of prophets are subject to prophets.” (1 Corinthians 14:32)
Islam’s revelations led to:
- Polygamy (Qur’an 4:3)
- Temporary marriages (Mut’ah)
- Sexual privileges unique to Muhammad (Qur’an 33:50)
These contradict the holiness of God revealed in Scripture.
6. Islam: A Religion of Death
From its inception, Islam advanced by force:
“I have been commanded to fight the people until they testify that there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is his messenger.” (Sahih Muslim, Book 1, Hadith 30)
Jesus, by contrast, taught:
“My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight…” (John 18:36)
7. The Qur’an’s Contradictions of Scripture
A comparison of the teachings in the Qur’an and the Bible.
Jesus is not God’s Son (4:171). “This is My beloved Son…” (Matthew 3:17)
Jesus was not crucified (4:157). “Christ died for our sins…” (1 Corinthians 15:3)
Salvation by works (23:102-103) “By grace you have been saved through faith…” (Ephesians 2:8-9)
8. Muhammad’s Eternal Judgment
The Bible warns of false prophets:
“But the prophet who presumes to speak a word in My name, which I have not commanded him to speak…that prophet shall die.” (Deuteronomy 18:20)
Muhammad will face the Great White Throne judgment.
“And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.” (Revelation 20:15)
9. Islam’s Teachings Keep Souls from Christ
Islam’s doctrines trap billions:
- Denial of original sin
- Works-based salvation with no assurance
- Jihad as a means of spiritual merit
- Allah is unknowable and unloving Father
Jesus alone reveals the Father:
“No one comes to the Father except through Me.” (John 14:6)
10. Satan’s Goal: Eternal Destruction
Jesus warned:
“The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life.” (John 10:10)
Islam steals souls from Christ, kills spiritual life by denying grace, and destroys hope of forgiveness.
11. Islam’s Global Influence Does Not Equal Truth
Islam is the world’s second-largest religion (1.9 billion). Yet Jesus said:
“Enter by the narrow gate…because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.” (Matthew 7:13-14)
12. Muhammad’s Blasphemous Claims
Muhammad claimed superiority over Jesus:
“I am the leader of the sons of Adam…without boasting.” (Sahih Muslim, Book 30, Hadith 5655)
The Bible declares Jesus alone is Lord of all:
“Therefore, God has also highly exalted Him and given Him the name that is above every name.” (Philippians 2:9)
13. Islam’s Final Deception: A False Jesus in End Times
Islam teaches Jesus will return to destroy Christianity and enforce Islam (Qur’an 43:61, Hadith Sahih Bukhari). Satan has distorted biblical prophecy to support this belief. The faithful Jesus will return to judge the nations (Matthew 25:31-46).
14. Islam’s Hope: Human Effort Over Divine Grace
Muslims hope their good deeds outweigh evil deeds on judgment day (Qur’an 21:47). The Bible warns:
“All our righteousnesses are like filthy rags.” (Isaiah 64:6)
Only Christ’s righteousness saves:
“For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.” (2 Corinthians 5:21)
15. Islam’s Spiritual Darkness
Without Christ, Islam remains in spiritual darkness:
“The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers…” (2 Corinthians 4:4)
16. The Urgency of Evangelizing Muslims
Jesus commands:
“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations…” (Matthew 28:19)
Muslims are not enemies to hate but lost souls to save.
17. The Truth That Sets Free
“And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” (John 8:32)
Islam offers slavery to law and fear; Jesus offers freedom, forgiveness, and eternal life.
18. Satan’s Defeat Is Certain
Despite Islam’s growth, the Bible assures Satan’s end:
“The devil…was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone… and will be tormented day and night forever and ever.” (Revelation 20:10)
19. Muhammad Cannot Save
Muhammad is dead, buried in Medina. Jesus is alive forevermore:
“I am He who lives and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen.” (Revelation 1:18)
20. Final Warning
Rejecting Christ means eternal separation from God. Muhammad himself admitted uncertainty:
“I do not know what will happen to me or you.” (Qur’an 46:9)
Jesus declared with certainty:
“Because I live, you will live also.” (John 14:19)
Conclusion
Satan founded Islam as a counterfeit religion to blind the nations, keep billions under the bondage of works, and deny the finished work of Jesus Christ. Muhammad, selected as a prophet of heresy, brought teachings of death, violence, and spiritual darkness. He now awaits judgment before the throne of God for his sins of blasphemy and leading souls away from the Cross.
But there is hope. Jesus Christ is calling Muslims to repentance and faith in His name alone. Only in Him are forgiveness, peace, and eternal life.
