'Muhammad' was JESUS in Syro-Aramaic texts! (#17)

It looks like we have further Proof that 'The Praised One' in both the Qur'an & the Dome of the Rock was really referring to Jesus, and not a prophet named Muhammad!

Once we return to the Syriac Aramaic writings from which those who put the Qur'an together borrowed so much of their material, we find that the reference to 'Muhammad' in those writings had nothing to do with a Muslim prophet named 'Muhammad' at all, but almost uniquely referred to the Christian Byzantine Jesus!

It is because of the very learned and linguistically adept scholarship of men like Christoph Luxemburg and Karl-Heinz Ohlig, that we have been recently introduced to the source for this term (see their books: 'The Syro-Aramaic Reading of the Koran' by Christoph Luxemburg, and 'The Hidden Origins of Islam' edited by Karl-Heinz Ohlig and Gerd R. Puin).

This then helps us make sense of why so many of the inscriptions on the Dome of the Rock are centered on, and confronts the person of Jesus, his divinity, and the trinity.

Thus, the term 'Muhammad' was meant to refer not to a man, but to 'The Praised One', who is the 'Servant of God', who of course was Jesus.

Since so much of the Qur'an was borrowed from these earlier Christian Syro-Aramaic readings, it stands to reason that we return to them to then understand, not only the inscriptions, but the Qur'an itself.

Once we do, so many of the difficult passages in its pages then become understandable.

Once again, when we find curious and anachronistic references in the Qur'an and in the Standard Islamic Narrative which make no sense, or are historically not viable, because they were written during the 8th century and later, the best thing to do is simply return to the century the events they talk about took place, the 7th century, and follow where the evidence leads in that century.
