syllogism for the case of the prophethood of Muhammad ﷺ

 Muhammad ﷺ’s prophethood can be argued for using the following syllogism:

	1) If a claimant to prophethood is aided by a negation of nomic necessity, then he is a true prophet.
	2) Muhammad ﷺ is a claimant to prophethood who was aided by a negation of nomic necessity.
	c) Therefore, Muhammad ﷺ is a true prophet.

the 1st premise in summary: 	it is true because God is the creator of normalcy.
				So His aiding a claimant to prophethood by negating normalcy for him, signals His support for this claimant.

the 2nd premise in summary: 	we offer two proofs for it.
				The first is the inability of the pagans to address the Quranic challenge,
				 	& this is a negation of nomic necessity.
				The second is that Muhammad ﷺ was aided with many extra-Quranic miracles,
					such as 	accurately prophesying future events,
								the multiplication of food and water,
								and the instantaneous healing of wounds and diseases,
					and all of these are negations of nomic necessity.

   In addition to being supported with miracles, the prophethood of Muhammad ﷺ can also be established by considering his life.

Either Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was sincere, or he was a liar.
	“Sincere” meaning: 	He truly believed that he was receiving revelation from God.
	“Liar” meaning: 	He knew that he was not receiving revelation from God, and deliberately lied by claiming that he was.

   Prophet Muhammad’s ﷺ being a deliberate liar is false, which means he must have been sincere.
We know he could not have been a liar,
		because we know that Prophet Muhammad ﷺ suffered through persecution in Makkah without compromising his religion.
			He also risked his life in fighting many wars to defend the cause of Islam.
			And he lived humbly, spending all his wealth to serve the religion.
		   This is not behavior that is characteristic of a liar.
As such, we can only conclude that Muhammad ﷺ was, at the very least, personally convinced that he was a prophet.

Given Muhammad’s ﷺ sincerity: either he was a true prophet, or he was madman.
	“True prophet” meaning:	He truly believed to have been communicating with God, and he actually was communicating with God.
	“Madman” meaning: 	He truly believed to have been communicating with God, but he actually was not communicating with God.
		i.e., he was a madman who was just hearing voices in his head. A man who thought himself a prophet when he actually wasn’t.

   Prophet Muhammad’s ﷺ being a madman is certainly false, so he must have been a true prophet.
We know Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was not a madman,
		because we know that he was an exceedingly successful individual.
			To assume he was successful because of his madness (i.e. because of the voices in his head) is especially ludicrous.
		Muhammad ﷺ started out his life as an orphan without anything, & ended his life as ruler over all of Arabia.
			He was a military genius, diplomat, and the leader of a successful nation.
			His companions were able to, thanks to his leadership & example,
				conquer the two super powers of the world at the time (the Sassanids, & the Byzantines).
		   It is inconceivable that someone as successful as Muhammad ﷺ was a madman.
			   It is especially inconceivable that such a man was successful because of his madness.

Therefore, we can only conclude that he truly was a prophet of God.
