4- Innocence of Muhammed and the Messiah
* When Muhammed was a little lad, two angels came to him and purified his heart, in this the Koran says:
“أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ وَوَضَعْنَا عَنْكَ وِزْرَكَ الَّذِي أَنْقَضَ ظَهْرَكَ”- سورة الانشراح 1- 3
Have We not opened your breast for you (O Muhammad (peace be upon him)). And removed from you your burden. Which weighed down your back?

Since then, he had the honest purified heart, so it was not in itself pure and virtuous, but the two angels removed the burden from his heart as purification. Thus, Muhammed required a surgical operation on the heart to purify his heart before he became a prophet and a messenger of Allah. We read about Maryam’s son in Koran that she would give a birth to a righteous son according to the verse:

“أَنَا رَسُولُ رَبِّكِ لأَهَبَ لَكِ غُلاَمًا زَكِيًّا”- سورة مريم 19
(The angel) said: "I am only a Messenger from your Lord, (to announce) to you the gift of a righteous son."

Interpreters such as El-Tobery, El-Baydawy and El-Zamakhshary agreed that the word زَكِيًّا means pure, clean and sinless. Hence, before the birth of the Messiah’s birth, the revelation declared that he would be born purified and would live without any sin, he was not in need for heart purification because he was originally sainted. The son of Maryam not only listened to the word of Allah, but he was the word itself, so there was no difference between his message and his conduct as he practiced what he preached and stood with no blame or sin. Koran testifies that all prophets and messengers have certain sins and it states these sins for some of them except the Messiah. He was always innocent and righteous for the spirit of God kept him since his birth in complete sanity despite his human nature; therefore, he did not fail the experience because he is the embodied spirit of God. Muhammed himself admitted three times in Koran that he had to ask forgiveness from God:

“فَاصْبِرْ إِنَّ وَعْدَ اللَّهِ حَقٌّ وَاسْتَغْفِرْ لِذَنْبِكَ وَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ بِالْعَشِيِّ وَالإِبْكَار”- غافر 55.

So be patient (O Muhammad (peace be upon him)) Verily, the Promise of Allâh is true, and ask forgiveness for your fault and glorify the praises of your Lord in the 'Ashi (i.e. the time period after the midnoon till sunset) and in the Ibkâr (i.e. the time period from early morning or sunrise till before midnoon) (it is said that, that means the five compulsory congregational Salât (prayers) or the 'Asr and Fajr prayers).
(Surat Ghafer – Verse No. 55)

“فَاعْلَمْ أَنَّهُ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَاسْتَغْفِرْ لِذَنْبِكَ وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ واللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ مُتَقَلَّبَكُمْ وَمَثْوَاكُمْ”- محمد 19

So know (O Muhammad (peace be upon him)) that, Lâ ilâha ill-Allâh (none has the right to be worshipped but Allâh), and ask forgiveness for your sin, and also for (the sin of) believing men and believing women. And Allâh knows well your moving about, and your place of rest (in your homes).
(Surat Muhammed- Verse No. 19)

“وَإِذْ تَقُولُ لِلَّذِي أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَأَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِ أَمْسِكْ عَلَيْكَ زَوْجَكَ وَاتَّقِ اللَّهَ وَتُخْفِي فِي نَفْسِكَ مَا اللَّهُ مُبْدِيهِ وَتَخْشَى النَّاسَ وَاللَّهُ أَحَقُّ أَنْ تَخْشَاهُ فَلَمَّا قَضَى زَيْدٌ مِنْهَا وَطَرًا زَوَّجْنَاكَهَا لِكَيْ لاَ يَكُونَ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ حَرَجٌ فِي أَزْوَاجِ أَدْعِيَائِهِمْ إِذَا قَضَوْا مِنْهُنَّ وَطَرًا وَكَانَ أَمْرُ اللَّهُ مَفْعُولاً”- الأحزاب 37

And (remember) when you said to him (Zaid bin Hârithah (may Allah be pleased with him) - the freed-slave of the Prophet (peace be upon him)) on whom Allâh has bestowed Grace (by guiding him to Islâm) and you (O Muhammad (peace be upon him) too) have done favor (by manumitting him): "Keep your wife to yourself, and fear Allâh." But you did hide in yourself (i.e. what Allâh has already made known to you that He will give her to you in marriage) that which Allâh will make manifest, you did fear the people (i.e., their saying that Muhammad (peace be upon him) married the divorced wife of his manumitted slave) whereas Allâh had a better right that you should fear Him. So when Zaid had accomplished his desire from her (i.e. divorced her), We gave her to you in marriage, so that (in future) there may be no difficulty to the believers in respect of (the marriage of) the wives of their adopted sons when the latter have no desire to keep them (i.e. they have divorced them). And Allâh's Command must be fulfilled.
(Surat Al-Ahzab- verse No. 37)
It seems that teh amjority of Muslims reject this truth and they misinterpret it. However, Koran is clear here and speaks openly. Muhammed was a natural human born by two natural parents; thus, he led a life of instinct and was sinful like us and asked for God’s forgiveness for his sins and vices as for the Messiah, he was born by the spirit of his father and he was the embodied word of God and lived saintly purified since his early age.
