The Islamic traditional sources that recount Mohamed’s trances are numerous, and the descriptions share some of the behaviours we associate with epilepsy.

They may not be absolutely consistent with the text book criteria, however, it isn’t necessary to constrain thinking to the simplistic dichotomy of prophet, or epileptic.

A prophet is someone who prophesizes. To declare ones self a prophet does not exclude you from afflictions we now diagnose as epilepsy, bipolar, schizophrenia etc.

The inference that you are either one or the other is narrow minded.

For all we know, Mohamed’s religious experience that gave rise to his prophethood, could be intrinsically linked to a mental condition.

The relationship between mental conditions and creative brilliance is well attested. Factor in religious experience and you can see how the overlap, and interplay is a possibility.
