Excerpts from The Sword of the Prophet, Regina Orthodox Press
He expanded his mission as a prophet, publicly preaching strict monotheism and warning of a Day of Judgment when all humans shall be held responsible for their deeds.
Other people claiming to be Prophets appeared in the Mideastern world at the time of Muhammad, such as Musailama al-Kazzab or Aswad Ansi, who both claimed to be prophets and both led ultimately unsuccesfull military campaigns, and it is possible that the unnamed Messiah figure relates to one of these.
He is buried in the Mosque of the Prophet in Madina.
The sword is embossed with jewels of all kinds; the hilt is gold plated and resembles a dragonâs head with inky fl eyes that seem to stare into the darkest regions of your soul.
From the dragonâs mouth spouts the blade of the sword, which is engraved, with the seven chants of plague, doom, fear, malice, death, torture, and foreboding.
But this sword was not discriminate as you might think, because even the allies of the wielder had these horrible visions when within the horrible grasps of the evil sword.
