1- In this book, we use our imagination to see what would happen if Muhammad would be brought back to life in our modern time and how his being interviewed by a CNN anchor would look like.

2- This book about an imaginary CNN interview with Muhammad has three major aims as follows.

2/1: The first aim is to destroy the deeply rooted deification of Muhammad within the hearts/souls of the polytheistic Muhammadans; sadly, they worship/sanctify an imaginary deity or a demi-god whom they have named as (Muhammad) which has nothing to do with the mortal prophet whose name, Muhammad, and true history are mentioned exclusively in the Holy Quran. This centuries-old deification of Muhammad is the primary cause of making writers shy away from dealing with Muhammad as a mortal human being; most people tend to forget that he was a mortal prophet; they suppose he was a larger-than-life god or a sort of deified, isolated, infallible angel who never suffered from troubles like the rest of human beings. Such a polytheistic assumption contradicts the Quranic assertions that Muhammad was a mortal human being and that he was treated as such by his contemporaries or companions who included, for sure, (dis)believers and hypocrites in Arabia (mainly in Mecca and Yathreb). No one among his contemporaries deified him at all whether they believed in the Quran or not. That Muhammad was a mortal prophet is proved in the Lord God's Word within many Quranic verses; for instance, his troubles with his wives as per the Quranic Chapters 33 and 66. This is not to mention verses containing rebuke and reproach addressed by the Lord God to Muhammad. Of course, true monotheists/Muslims must purify their hearts/souls from deifying or sanctifying any (non)human creatures. Within True Islam (i.e., Quranism), deification and sanctification within one's heart/soul should be dedicated entirely to the Lord God the Creator. The Lord God says the following in the Quran: "If God were to hold the humankind for their injustices, He would not leave upon it a single creature, but He postpones them until an appointed time. Then, when their time arrives, they will not delay it by one hour, nor will they advance it." (16:61); "If God were to punish the people for what they have earned, He would not leave a single living creature on its surface. But He defers them until a stated time. Then, when their time has arrived - God is Observant of His creatures." (35:45). Both verses apply to all humanity, including all prophets for sure. Hence, to debunk the myth of the sanctified/deified Muhammad is a religious duty imposed on all Quranists; deifying Muhammad contradicts the great religion of Islam; i.e., the Quran. We hope that this book about an imaginary CNN interview with Muhammad will perform this mission of destroying the polytheistic notion of deifying mortals – a notion/sickness which might still be latent inside the souls/hearts of some readers.

2/2: The second aim is to provide the question-and-answer format in order to demonstrate what True Islam is. We mean, of course, Quranism which we preach and which has been rejected by the Muhammadans for centuries. Sadly, the Muhammadans still accuse our person (and all other Quranists) of apostasy/heresy because we remind them of Quranic facts and we preach the return to the Quran-only Islam which is the Only True Islam descended upon Muhammad. The Muhammadans hate our person because our Quranist writings prove how their terrestrial/earthly Sufi, Shiite, and Sunnite religions of Satan contradict the Quran. The Muhammadans resent the fact that we, a Quranist thinker, remind them that they have discarded and abandoned the Quran in order to follow their devilish narratives/hadiths and their clergymen (i.e., imams/sheikhs) who are human-devils and jinn-devils. Of course, in our modern time, this book about an imaginary CNN interview with Muhammad proves the modernity of Islam as the Lord God's Great Religion which is fit for all eras and locations and for all humanity. In contrast, the terrestrial religions of the Muhammadans transport them back to the Middle-Ages; they imitate their ancestors who lived in such dark epochs even regarding dress codes! This is very silly! Sadly, the Muhammadans have managed to export their terrestrial religions to the West countries. The people of the Occident are now convinced that 'Islam' consists of deeds/words and of  history/heritage of such Muhammadans. This myth is dispelled in this book; we provide the Occident here with a summary of what Islam is as they never know it; we also show True Islam to the Muhammadans who deny it. We envision that in this imaginary CNN interview, Muhammad will speak to defend himself and to disown his enemies; i.e., the Muhammadans.            

2/3: The third aim is to prove indirectly and undoubtedly to the Anglophone readers (i.e., after this book would be translated into English) and to the Occident in general that Muhammad was indeed a prophet of the Lord God and the miracle he conveyed is the Quran. Of course, the Quran includes several miraculous features especially within the Quranic stories of prophets which are juxtaposed (as objectively as possible) with the narratives of the Bible's Old Testament. It is enough to quote verses of the Old Testament and then the Quranic verses about prophets so as to give readers the chance to compare and contrast in order to judge for themselves. Most readers in the Occident know little or nothing about how the Quranic stories tackle prophets mentioned in the Old Testament's book of Genesis. We desire that the readers will notice the vast difference between the Quranic stories and the passages of the Old Testament which cover the same topics. This juxtaposition will assert to the readers in the Occident that the Arab prophet of the Gentiles; i.e., Muhammad, who was a descendant of Ishmael the firstborn son of Abraham, was the Last Prophet sent by the Lord God to convey the Lord God's Word and Last Message to humanity: the Holy Quran. This mortal prophet, Muhammad, could never have authored the Quran; we prove in this book that the Quran is the Divine Revealtion.   

3- This book, as is the case with most of our books, was serialized in many articles published previously in Arabic on our website. We have compiled these articles in a book form and added the titles of the chapters. This is PART I which contains dialogues about the Quranic stories of prophets from Adam to the era before the birth of Abraham. PART II, which will be written later on, will begin with the dialogues about Abraham and the prophets after him until Muhammad. 

4- Our readers should bear in mind that we use the term [prophet] which differs from the term [messenger]. Islam is the Quran only; Muhammad as a mortal prophet had no views/narratives at all ascribed to the religion of Islam. The difference between the terms (prophet) and (messenger) is explained in detail in our book, in English, titled "The Quran: Sufficient as a Source of Islamic Legislation", found on this link:

5- We publish here PART I of this book. Later on, we will author and publish PART II. We supplicate to the Lord God so that He will grant to our person His aid, guidance, mercy, and forgiveness.
