Allah & his Apostle Know Best:-
The above MANTRA is repeated in the Hadiths hundreds of times equating or associating Muhammad with Allah in almost everything especially KNOWLEDGE..
In the Quran, during the Meccan period, this mantra did not exist because it was towards Al Rahman or Allah alone that his ideas & pleadings were fixated. This changed after his arrival to Madina with his increasing political and military power where by the verses almost invariably associated
Allah with his messenger.
Muhammad's initial humility and humbleness were taken over by self assertion and extreme arrogance whereby he very casually linked his name to that of Allah creating a subliminal twinning and an inseparable association in the minds of his impressionable, ignorant and gullible followers as shown in only a FEW examples below:
This mantra is repeated in at least seventeen SURAS over 200 times.

*** Since neither Allah nor Gabriel ever addressed the followers of Muhammad, they, the GULLIBLE, SUPERSTITIOUS and IGNORANT had no choice but to accept Muhammad's statements as TRUE, which of course, they were not.
The proofs that Muhammad was DECEIVING and BETRAYING the TRUST of his followers are obvious from the very fact that his statements are totally SELFSERVING and bereft of any LOGIC, FACTS or KNOWLEDGE ***
Muhammad is equal to Allah since Muhammad knows what Allah knows.
