Muhammad on Coins - 3 Minute Quran Study: Episode 10

3 years ago

The word "muhammad" is first attested to on coins from the 7th century. What are those coins and what can we deduce from them?

We have already seen how the word "muhammad" is used as a title for Jesus in the Dome of the Rock inscription. The coins seem to support this interpretation. Leading to the conclusion that there was no prophet named Muhammad in the 7th century. Nobody, not even his supposed followers seem to find it necessary to mention him. Instead, they talk about Jesus.
