Understanding islam scientifically.

[Majed]

I wanted to understand islam from a scientific, and historical perspective. I've come to the realization that the revelation of muhammed was an induced brain state from meditation. Which a lot of muslims have shared in the past when they talked about seeing God or such things.

Feel free to share your discoveries on the topic as well.

Islam is a belief system meant to pacify the region. To get order out of chaos the easiest way to do it is to give people a simple ideology and explanation for their lives and punish them when they deviate from that. 

Are you familiar with the bahai faith? It's a religion that believes that God's truth was delivered to mankind along different eras depending on the needs of the time to ultimately I guess lead to the ascension of mankind and peace on earth. Sounds about right to me, all major religions share the same general message with a different theme depending on when they came to be. 

"The Retreats: As he approached 40, Muhammad became increasingly troubled by the social inequality and idol worship in Meccan society. He began spending long periods in solitude, meditating in the Cave of Hira on Mount Jabal al-Nour."

I'm not too familiar Muhammad's story but apparently he literally prayed to God for a way to unite his people and was given insight on how to do so.
