Moḥammad doshman-e anbiyā Persiska (Farsi) 2025

Muhammad, the Enemy of the Prophets, written by Meysam Mousavi Nasimabadi, is a collection of fifty-six essays composed between 2011 and 2025. The volume offers critical and analytical examinations across a wide spectrum of religious, philosophical, literary, and historical thought.

In its first section, the author engages with thinkers from both Islamic and Western traditions—from al-Razi, al-Biruni, and Avicenna to Rousseau, Nietzsche, Russell, and Wittgenstein. The second section turns to major figures in Persian poetry and literature, including Hallaj, Khayyam, Ferdowsi, Rumi, Hafez, Hedayat, and Shamlu. Subsequent chapters address themes such as the Islamization of Iran, the alteration of the Qur’an, the Shaykhi and Babi movements, the question of miracles, Ashura, misogyny, Iranian history, and various political and cultural personalities. The final section explores philosophical and social issues including suicide, free will and determinism, the existence of God, homosexuality, war, revolution, and evolution.

This book is a polemical and thought-provoking contribution to the fields of religious studies, philosophy, and social criticism. It is intended for readers interested in engaging with critical perspectives and challenging intellectual debates concerning the history of ideas and religious belief.
