Did Muhammad Leave His Footprint?

Added: 2026-05-11

[00:00:00]Go online right now and you will find videos of Muslims lining up to kiss a rock. Why? Because they're told apparently this is Muhammad's footprint.

[00:00:10]Seriously, let that sink in. A religion that claims absolute monotheism, right?

[00:00:16]Has people kissing what they believe is the physical footprint of Muhammad. You get to talk to Muslims and then they tell you, "Well, there is no idols in Islam. There is no devotion to objects in Islam." Yet what we have here, a footprint in a stone, kissed, filmed, and promoted.

[00:00:39]So what is this? Is this pre-monotheism or something that looks suspiciously like that very practices Muslims steps in and then condemns? Let me ask very basic question here, right?

[00:00:53]Where did this footprint come from?

[00:00:56]Who identified it?

[00:00:58]How exactly does a footprint on a rock survive 1,400 years? And why are there multiple footprints in different locations? Did Muhammad leave behind a trail of collectible artifacts? Did he thought he was British Museum?

[00:01:16]Or are people are just believing what they want to believe? They've been lied to and they want to stay and they want to live in that lie.

[00:01:25]Because if your theology is still built on strict truth and revelation, this should bother you and not only bother you but this should bother you quite a lot. I always asking this to Mr. Muslim and then he tells me, "Well, we are not worshipping it. We are just honoring the prophet." Let's be honest, Muhammad is dead. If someone else do this, kissing a object, ask for blessing from it, and treat it as a spiritual as a spiritual significance, Muslims would step in and then call what?

[00:01:59]They would call it shirk. And they would even say this is shirk akbar, right? So, why there's a double standard here?

[00:02:06]Why is it condemned in others, but in here Muslims are simply defending it?

[00:02:11]You don't get to define the same action just because it is your prophet. So, here's something else that bothers me.

[00:02:19]Muslim tells me they worship Allah alone, right?

[00:02:23]In theory.

[00:02:24]Allah alone, all that. But in practice, literally like Muhammad is in everywhere. His name is paired with Allah in the Shahada. His behavior is being practiced by millions of Muslims every day in their daily life.

[00:02:44]His sayings controls Islamic theology, and his relics are being honored. And now, even his footprint becomes an object of attention. At what point do we stop pretending this is just a respect because it looks like a lot of devotion circulating around or centered around a man called Muhammad. Dear friends and not friends, that is you call it shirk.

[00:03:12]And here's another thing. A footprint is by definition what is left behind when someone is gone. It's absence, it's distance, it's trace in the dust. And yet, people are clinging to what they think is a physical mark of someone who isn't there. Kissing it, traveling to see it. For what? A connection?

[00:03:36]Or just an illusion of one? That just reminds me of Christian message doesn't offer you a footprint. It doesn't tell you to chase impression left on a stone.

[00:03:49]It gives you something indefinitely greater. God didn't leave trace behind.

[00:03:55]He stepped into history. Jesus Christ, eternal son of Father, is not a memory to be preserved. He is the living son who reveals the Father. No relics, no guessings, no chasing after physical leftovers. You don't need to kiss the stone to come close to God because in the gospel, God comes near to you.

[00:04:18]So, ask yourself, why hold on to a footprint when you can know the one who actually walks with you?
