Prophet as the superhuman, a god-like figure

An atheist, who refuses to accept the Holy Prophet Mohammad P.B.U.H. as the appointed messenger of an All-Mighty All-Knowing All-Sustaining and an Ever-living God, would have to accept that the prophet Mohammad was a super-human poly-math and a god-like figure himself. I convinced myself on this revelation with the following perspective.

Prophet Mohammad lived his entire life in public, from the time of birth and childhood where he would help his uncle in worldly chores and go on trading campaigns to learn the well-known Arab trading profession, to the adulthood where he would carry out trade missions for rich Arab moguls and capitalists (having met his loving wife Khadija through such expeditions). He was not away from the public scene to pursue his scholarly passion or to indulge in the prevalent Arab hobby of poetry-writing or reading, or to ponder over the moral degradation of the Arab society in seclusion. He engaged with everyone, his neighbors, his relatives, his friends, colleagues, bystanders, poors and the riches of the Mecca to establish his reputation as an honest, trustworthy, friendly, dependable, compassionate, wise, and simple human being. From an atheist point of view, he could not have been on an innate mission to undertake a much greater mission of spreading a divine message one day after establishing his popularity. But even if he was, he can't possibly have any magical powers to garner enormous popularity, trust and the skills needed to achieve what he would right after his youth.

Prophet Mohammad, right after the peak of his youth at the age of 40, began to preach what he proclaimed was the message of a new religion. And within the next 20-23 years, he would complete this message, call it a perfect one for the entire humanity, end up bringing the entire Arabian peninsula under the banner of his religion, and  have lived through almost every walk of a human's life to setup examples and traditions for future generations to follow. These twenty or so years within their own existence are nothing short of a miracle for a 'normal' human to achieve, and all of this while maintaining a perfect balance between one's life, work, hobby, interests, passion, goals, and all other relationships and commitments.

When we study these twenty years and the message that he preached during that time in detail, we clearly see the traits that truly made him a superhuman. Just notice, again with an atheist point of view where one should keep in the back of his mind that Prophet Mohammad is not appointed by any divine will, that Prophet Mohammad comes back from his home every other night (or so on average) to disseminate a new message to his believers, that is poetically perfect and unmatchable, and has deep philosophical and scholarly dimensions. His messages would appeal to a scientist, a philosopher, an explorer, a traveler, a biologist, a doctor, a theologist, a historian, a superstitionist, an accountant, a lawmaker, a politician, a linguist, a philanthropist, a psychologist, a moralist, a leader, a community, a poor, a rich a young, an old, and alas everyone in the middle. And not just appeal, it would make them all ponder in awe and surprise.

He talks about the places where two seas meet but still not merge, about suns and moons following their precise orbits, about the movements of mountains and the lands, about the creation of man from clay and a drop of blood into a fetus lump and in defined stages, about the ants being females, about the birds being observant, about the humans co-inhabiting the planet with the jinns. He gives a complete breakdown of the distribution of a dead's wealth, and about the circulation of general wealth. He narrates hundreds of a historically significant stories and gives even the hidden of details from the biblical stories. He teaches people morals and empowers the weak while encouraging tolerance amongst the powerful and the rich. He presents prophecies about the life after the death and gives a precise standard for judging people as good or bad. He presents a lifestyle for people from every profession of life, the rulers and the beggars, the traders, the vendors and the buyers, the parents and the children, friends and foes, fighters and peacemakers, financial authorities and the lawmakers. He trains people self-restraint by way of prostrating 35 times a day, fasting 30 days a year, donating 20% of a year's savings, and sacrificing an animal once a year. He indulges in fights, signs the best of peace treaties, prefers negotiation and respite over violence, forgives unaccountably, and penalizes the oppressors mercilessly. He has touched every aspect of every man's life and death. And more so, he showed through action that his preached path is both perfect, achievable and the most successful both for individuals and for communities.

Undoubtedly, he was a great scientist having talked about the then undiscovered frontiers of astronomy, geology, and physics; he was a great physician, who explained the details of a man's creation from a biologist's and philosopher's perspective; he was a great historian who seemed to have been fully informed about the historical texts and to have godish-ly witnessed the past personally; he was a great theologian who reasoned through the need for the existence of God and the necessity of the life hereafter; he was a great prophet, who continued to present prophecies of the various events, battles, and milestones that would unfold during and after his life; he was a great lawmaker who presented a precise code of ruling a community with honesty, justice, in-discrimination and philanthropy; he was a great naturalist, who talked about the hidden realities and facts surrounding the animal kingdom and natural habitat; he was the greatest linguist, who presented his entire message, spread over hundreds of thousands of words presented over two decades in the most admirable of poetry; he was the greatest preacher, public speaker, and leader, who expanded his believers' pool and kingdom to millions of people and multiple countries respectively within a teenager's life span; he was the greatest traveler and explorer, who talked about places on this planet which were not even discovered till his time and the phenomena surrounding those that had not then been witnessed; and he was a great human being, who was just praised by his wives, daughter, relatives, friends, colleagues, followers and acquaintances, and acknowledged for his traits even by his enemies. To put it simply and clearly, he was a polymath, a SuperHuman.

The question then is, after we have established his miraculous personality, that where did he come from, what led to his abnormal, or extra-ordinary, personality, what did he learn, for how long and from whom, and what helped him get such a wholesome experience of so many facets of the world around him and beyond his seemingly physical reach? And the observation is astounding: he never attended a school, he never undertook vast travels, he was unheard of attending any unique clubs, gatherings or cults, and he did not do anything extra-ordinary throughout his youth, nor did he physically exhibit any superhuman powers. So was he God himself? Because our observations, our psyche, our logic and our knowledge all bear witness that what he practiced, preached, and achieved, given his circumstances and resources, is plain impossible.

And this leads to believing in his own foremost claim that "I am none but a messenger of an All-Mighty All-Knowing and an Ever-living God, The Creator, The Sustainor,The Resurrector, The Judge, and The Beneficient!" So, when the human mind refuses to believe that Mohammad (PBUH) can be a super human with God-like qualities, which are so vividly reflected equally perfectly even through the personalities of his twelve descendants, is when the belief in Allah begins with all firmness and certitude!

Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) and his descendants were the face of God - God's revelations and reflections - through whom an All-Mighty power, that is too majestic to be seen by human eyes, can be seen, perceived and understood.
