Muhammad's Isra
(Night Journey)

Did the Zoroastrians influence the Prophet Muhammad?

There seems to be a similarity between the story of the Prophet Muhammad's night journey into heaven and a writing by Pahlavi called “Artâ Viraf Namak” of a Magian messenger (the Zoroastrian faith) written four hundred years before the flight to Medina which reads as follows:

“Our first advance upwards was to the Lower heaven... and there we saw the Angel of those Holy ones, giving forth a flaming light, brilliant and lofty. And I asked Sarosh the holy and Âzar the angel: - “What is this place; and these, who are they?” We are then told that Artâ ascended similarly to the Second and Third heavens, and to many others beyond.

Rising from a gold-covered throne, Bahman the Archangel led me on, till he and I met Ormazd with a company of angels and heavenly leaders, all adorned so brightly that I had never seen the like before. My leader said: This is Ormazd. I sought to salaam to him, and he said he was glad to welcome me from the passing world to that bright and undefiled place. Then he bade Sarosh and the Fire-angel to shew me the blessed place prepared for the holy, and that also for the punishment of the wicked. After which they carried me along till I beheld the Archangels and the other Angels.”  Reference: Rev. W. St. Clair-Tisdall, The Sources of Islam: A Persian Treatise, translated and abridged by Sir William Muir, T. & T. Clark, Edinburgh, Scotland. 1901, xiii, Page 79-80.
Did the Prophet Muhammad really ascend to heaven or did he borrow the concept, which was written hundreds of years earlier?

Old Saint Nick

St. Nicholas was the patron saint of thieves and gangsters, who were tagged “The Knights of St. Nicholas.” He was the patron saint of pawnbrokers, and their emblem (photo) is traced to him. Pirates emblazoned his likeness on their flags. Other wards of St. Nicholas are spinsters (unmarried women) and sailors.

“Old Nick” is a term applied to the malevolent ones. Even the color red that Santa Claus wears is associated with evil. Red is a color that projects or encourages desire and evil. Red reflects the moods of persons dwelling on the lowest state of the physical plane. It is also the color depicting anger, sin, and bloodshed.

From Atoms to Adam

…The Melanin-ites created the universes in their etheric form. Nine ether then personified themselves as flesh and blood beings; they became human beings from atoms to Adam. There are two kinds of ether - nine ether and six ether in human form. Nine ether, Negroid, produced six ether, Caucasians, and six ether produced ghosts; death, not to be mistaken with the ethers of hair, that range from six, seven, eight and nine in hair texture, from flat to hollow to round.

Nine ether will become six ether through time and age (die). Six ether (Albinos) is nine ether (Nuwaubians aka Negroids) in death, and ghost is the death of six ether.
