Muhammad was considered illiterate based on incorrect translation of ummy (gentile)

Muhammad could read and write. He was a gentile prophet (96:1, 68:1, 7:157)

Some hadiths (sayings attributed to him) depicted him as a vicious, ruthless person

Muhammad had good moral character (68:4)

Fabricated hadiths (attributed to Muhammad) contradict the Quran

Muhammad followed God’s commandments in the Quran (17:74-75)

The use of hadith is rampant. Some even believe that hadith abrogates the Quran

The Quran is the only source of religious guidance (6:115, 17:46)

Many religious practices are innovated and have nothing to do with the religion

The Quran is fully detailed and infallible (6:114, 7:52; 10:37)

Muhammad is believed to have the power to save “Muslims” from Hell as long as they praised him during their life time

There is no intercession in the Hereafter unless it coincides with God’s will (2:48, 2:123, 2:254, 9:80, 20:109, 21:28 …)

Muhammad’s name is mentioned with God in Shahadah (statement of faith), and Az’an (call to the prayer)

God alone is sufficient and there should be no name mentioned or put next to God (3:18, 39:36, 39:45)

There is no mosque in the Islamic world where only the names of God is displayed

The places of worship belong to God and God is the only one worthy of praise (72:18)

Conclusion: Corruption in religion gradually got worse over the years since hadith came along 200 years after Muhammad’s death

Conclusion: Muhammad will say in the Hereafter that his people have deserted the Quran (25:30)
