This episode is the 6th installment in the series \u2018The Epileptic Prophet\u2019 in which Abdullah Gondal and I tackle the question of Muhammad\u2019s mental health and possible epilepsy. Our aim is to provide an alternative explanation to\xa0 Muhammad\u2019s supposed prophethood from a neurological perspective. In this episode, we explore Muhammad\u2019s possible OCD, violence, and hypergraphia.\n\n\n\nWe started the episode by discussing Muhammad\u2019s narcissism. We presented an excerpt of an interview by Dr. Ali Sina in which he explains Muhammad\u2019s narcissistic traits and possible causes for such levels of narcissism. Gondal and I then went on to talk about Muhammad\u2019s delusions of grandeur.\n\n\n\nThe conversation then moved on to Muhammad\u2019s hallucinations including his purported friendship with angel Gabriel. We went through various hadith and seerah which document such hallucinations. Another issue we discussed is Muhammad\u2019s supposed visions and how questionable his claims are. We talked about the hadith in which the angel Gabriel supposedly visited Muhammad and taught him how to pray and perform ablution. Lastly, we compared the hallucinations and visions to those of contemporary epileptic patients who also have OCD and hypergraphia.\n\n\n\nWe ended the conversation on the topic of violence and epilepsy. We discussed how epilepsy patients sometimes have a tendency to be violent or to incite violence. Gondal and I then went through various Quranic verses as well as hadith which document Muhammad\u2019s violence, the vigilantism, and forced conversions of prisoners of war that Muhammad encouraged. We also discussed the Banu Qurayza massacre.\n\n\n\nThis episode was very eye-opening and I invite you to take a listen.\xa0\n\n\n\nSupport the two Abdullahs show at https://abdullahsameer.com/two-abdullahs\n\n\n\nYouTube version of this podcast: https://youtu.be/B1TQsdHBtN0\n\n\n\nHere are the previous episodes in this series: \n\n\n\nPart 1: https://youtu.be/WlO4nZUGVf4 \n\n\n\nPart 2: https://youtu.be/ZI16w6Sl3DE\n\n\n\n Part 3: https://youtu.be/fD4FyXSN96k \n\n\n\nPart 4: https://youtu.be/Z-IgOnBCv3U\n\n\n\nTimestamp:\n\n\n\n0:00 Introductions\n\n\n\n3:15 Muhammad the narcissist - Dr. Ali Sina.\n\n\n\n13:00 Another chest opening incident - hadith\n\n\n\n14:35 Muhammad\u2019s delusions - A green screen covering the horizon, the seal of the prophet?\n\n\n\n17:25 The holy spittle, holy sweat, urine, and poop of Muhammad.\n\n\n\n25:40 A tree that sees genies?
