Why is the cause of Prophet Muhammad's death still debated?

What was the role of Zaynab in Prophet Muhammad's death?

Zaynab, a woman from the Jewish tribe, allegedly poisoned Prophet Muhammad's food. She claimed that she did so to test if he was a true prophet, believing that a true prophet would survive poisoning.

How does psychology explain Zaynab's actions?

Psychologically, Zaynab's actions can be understood as a reaction to the loss of her relatives in the battle of Khaibar and her desire for revenge. Her statement about testing Prophet Muhammad's prophecy was likely an excuse to justify her actions rather than a genuine test.

Why do some people argue that Zaynab's actions were not motivated by testing Prophet Muhammad?

It is argued that the claim of testing Prophet Muhammad's prophecy was not genuine because it doesn't align with the beliefs of the Jewish people, who would not see a non-Jewish person as a true prophet. The real motive was likely revenge for her family’s losses in the battle.

What does the video suggest about the theological argument related to the testing of Prophet Muhammad?

The video points out that the theological argument that Zaynab was testing Prophet Muhammad's authenticity is flawed. According to Jewish theology, the Messiah must be from the Jewish lineage, making it unlikely that a Jewish woman would test a non-Jewish prophet like Muhammad.

The three perspectives used are psychology, theology (specifically comparative religion), and forensic medicine/history.

What does forensic analysis reveal about the cause of Prophet Muhammad's death?

Forensic analysis suggests that the symptoms Prophet Muhammad exhibited, including high fever, pain with breathing, and the gradual worsening of his condition, were more likely the result of an infection, such as pleuritis (inflammation of the lung's lining), rather than poisoning.

Why does the video reject the theory that Prophet Muhammad died from poisoning?

The video rejects the poisoning theory by pointing out that the symptoms of poisoning, such as immediate vomiting, are not consistent with Prophet Muhammad's illness. Additionally, poisoning would not have lasted for years, as Prophet Muhammad reportedly began to suffer from the effects of poisoning three years after the alleged incident.
