'''Mehmet the Ishmaelite''' was a Pahlavi Yazdanite of Tachkastan's Tayyaye and whose existence is corroborated by 1) Numismatic evidence; 2) Thomas the Presbyter; 3) and Sebeos. His name is Persian meaning "Dead Moon" perhaps because of the Blood-Moon which occurred around the time of his birth[https://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/5MCLEmap/0501-0600/LE0571-04-25T.gif].
After his death, Mehmet was promoted by his Pahlavi subjects as "MḤMT' PTGMBI Y YZDT" and probably by many Gnostic Christians as the return of Mahmad being part of the Gnostic Christian Rasul (tripartite Jesus). Their opinion eventually stuck despite such fanatics being opposed in [[the Quraysh Quran]] which said no one is Muhammad or Jesus but Thanksgiving (ahmed).
The Pahlavi Yazdanists were not related to the Quraysh tribe as stated in the Standard Islamic Narrative. They joined the Parthian Allies of Heraclius in the 620s against Sassan until they were conquered by the Quraysh in 633.
