I think the author was forgetting this ayah :hahaha:

مُحَمَّدٌ رَسولُ اللَّهِ
Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah [48:29]

Just because 'muhammadun rasoolullah' isn't mentioned as a shahada in the Qur'an, doesn't mean it's not part of it. The author also just dismissed hadiths. There are countless hadiths which say that 'muhammadun rasoolullah' is part of the shahada. I wouldn't be surprised if this website was dajjal.

So just a note, that submission.org is the website of Rashid Khalifa’s Submitters organization. Younger readers probably would not be aware of this individual or this organization, as it’s sort of a fringe movement from 1980s America. To use more modern terminology, it was one of the original “Quranist”/“Quran-only” Muslim movements. This particular brand of Quranism is kind of extra special in that it centres around a quirky numerological system. 

This is not meant to come off as some sort of hysterical, mentally calcified warning to “beware the unorthodox lest your poor vulnerable mind be corrupted;” the site has some interesting writings on it. And I will say Quranists have some interesting and useful insights in general, even if I don’t totally align with their generalized hadith skepticism. (I think only 75-80% of hadith are fabricated nonsense rather than 100% and think even the fabricated nonsense has at least archaeological value)

But I think it’s always good to be aware of what you’re reading and where it sits in the larger context.
