I don't believe in Mohammed anymore... and I think Mohammed just misunderstood the facts about Jesus, this is clear in quran. cuz it said in that book that Jesus is the soul of God and the word of God... then it says in another that Jesus is not son of God and God doesn't make son!!! and say those who believe in three are infidels!!! this contradict the New Testemony. Mohammed misunderstood that 3 does not means three Gods... and Son does not mean like life son.. it is like the result, the outcome of the God.. I mean like I made something, this thing would be called my son.  Light is the son of the Sun!!  Mohammed clearly contradict himself.  he called Jesus the Mesiah  but he doesn't know who's Mesiah!!!  I left Islam.. Jesus Message is clear, it is holy and great. thanks God Jesus for your help.

Because he is a man of God. Like Jesus said to turn the other cheek. Both Jesus and Muhammad are wise, compassionate and loving people who respect and fear their God and love their fellow man as we all should. Too bad we all haven't caught on. God bless. =)

Of course we believe, but we ALSO believe that God does whatever He wants to do. He wanted prophet Muhammad (pbuh) to be the last messenger. He clearly stated that in Qur'an. So after that, no one is a prophet from God. \n\nTake a look at reality, can you find one single person who claimed himself as a prophet, after Muhammad (pbuh), and established a succesful religion?

Position of Jesus (pbuh) in Islam: \n \n(i) \nIslam is the only non-Christian faith, which makes it an article of faith to believe in Jesus (pbuh). No Muslim is a Muslim if he does not believe in Jesus (pbuh). \n \n(ii)  \nWe believe that he was one of the mightiest Messengers of Allah (swt). \n \n(iii) \nWe believe that he was born miraculously, without any male intervention, which many modern day Christians do not believe. \n \n(iv)  \nWe believe he was the Messiah translated Christ (pbuh).\n \n \n(v)  \nWe believe that he gave life to the dead with God’s permission. \n \n(iv) \nWe believe that he healed those born blind, and the lepers with God’s permission. \n\n\nand regarding Mary \n\nProphet Muhammad pbuh said that Mary is the Greatest Woman of the Heaven(paradise) and the earth.\n\n\nQuran :\n[003:035]  Behold! a woman of 'Imran said: "O my Lord! I do dedicate unto Thee what is in my womb for Thy special service: So accept this of me: For Thou hearest and knowest all things."\n\n\n\n[003:036]  When she was delivered, she said: "O my Lord! Behold! I am delivered of a female child!"- and God knew best what she brought forth- "And no wise is the male Like the female. I have named her Mary, and I commend her and her offspring to Thy protection from the Evil One, the Rejected."\n\n[003:037]  Right graciously did her Lord accept her: He made her grow in purity and beauty: To the care of Zakariya was she assigned. Every time that he entered (Her) chamber to see her, He found her supplied with sustenance. He said: "O Mary! Whence (comes) this to you?" She said: "From God: for God Provides sustenance to whom He pleases without measure."\n\n[003:042]  Behold! the angels said: "O Mary! God hath chosen thee and purified thee- chosen thee above the women of all nations.\n\n[003:043]  "O Mary! worship Thy Lord devoutly: Prostrate thyself, and bow down (in prayer) with those who bow down."\n\n[003:044]  This is part of the tidings of the things unseen, which We reveal unto thee (O Apostle!) by inspiration: Thou wast not with them when they cast lots with arrows, as to which of them should be charged with the care of Mary: Nor wast thou with them when they disputed (the point). \n\n\n[003:045]  Behold! the angels said: "O Mary! God giveth thee glad tidings of a Word from Him: his name will be Christ Jesus, the son of Mary, held in honour in this world and the Hereafter and of (the company of) those nearest to God;\n\n[004:156]  That they rejected Faith; that they uttered against Mary a grave false charge;\n\n[004:157]  That they said (in boast), "We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Apostle of God";- but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) know ledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not.\n\nThere is a full chapter with name Mary in Quran, Jesus is mentioned in Quran 25 times.

Muslims believe in the prophets and messengers of God, starting with Adam, including Noah, Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, and Jesus (peace be upon them).  But God’s final message to man, a reconfirmation of the eternal message, was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad .  Muslims believe that Muhammad  is the last prophet sent by God, as God has said:\n\n ((Muhammad is not the father of any one of your men, but he is the Messenger of God and the last of the prophets...))  (Quran, 33:40)\n\nMuslims believe that all the prophets and messengers were created human beings who had none of the divine qualities of God.

Simplified version: Christians don't acknowledge Muhammad to have been a prophet because he taught a number of things that are contrary to essential Christian doctrine.  For instance, Muhammad denied Yeshua's (Jesus') death, resurrection, and deity.  If someone were to accept Muhammad as a prophet, they would no longer be a Christian.  If acknowledging Muhammad as a prophet of God does not make one a Muslim on some level, then I don't know what would, and becoming a Muslim makes one no longer a Christian.\n\nMore complex answer: Whatever other prophets we may recognize-- whether they be God's prophets to the Israelites, John the Baptist, Yeshua (Jesus) Himself, Peter, Paul, any of the other apostles, or even people today through whom God may yet deign to speak on some level (although whether or not He actually does on the same level as in times past is a matter of some debate within the Christian community)-- whatever other prophets we may recognize, it simply isn't possible for a Christian to remain a Christian while simultaneously embracing the teachings of Muhammad insofar as they contradict basic, essential tenets of Christian theology.  Unless one plays some really funny word games and defines Christianity out of its historic confessions-- even the most basic creeds, such as the Nicene and Apostolic Creeds-- one cannot be a Christian and accept the teachings of Muhammad concerning who Yeshua (Jesus) was.\n\nThis question is somewhat like asking why Sunnis do not believe that Husayn/Hussein was really a caliph.  However, to make the analogy proper, Husayn/Hussein would have had to have denied several facts central to Islam about Muhammad.  To achieve the sort of drastic effect that is required to make this comparison work, the question would have to be something like... "Why do Sunni's acknowledge other caliphs, but not Husayn/Hussein, who denied that Muhammad is Allah's prophet?"  (Naturally, Husayn/Hussein never really denied that Muhammad was Allah's prophet, but for the sake of a fare comparison between the two questions, such must be pretended.)

Jesus is divine, he lived a life without commiting a single sin, he never married and he is the son of God. According to Christianity Jesus is the Messiah.  According to Islam, Mohammed is simply a messenger.

There are different religions in this world. And among them is also Islam. According to Muslims believe Mohammad is the Last Prophet and when they call his name they say Peace Be Upon him.\n\nIf you want you can see details click the link below.

Well , according to me . Muslims , Jews , Christians have one GOD . Before prophet Muhammad (PBUH)there were alot of prophets . According to Muslims Jesus Christ is a prophet named Isa (AS) &  Tto the christians it is the opposite .\nTo The Jews it is the same thing . Muslims think Mosses is Prophet Musa (AS) AND Jews think Prophet Musa is Mosses . Actually it is the people who were living in that age who scrambled it up .

No one living knows exactly what he looks like.  Even though for years there have been depictions of Jesus Christ there is only desciptions of him in the Bible that are vague and no one can say for certain that he looks anything like we think that he does.  Muhammad is described in the same type of way, however as it is written that there should be no images of him, the Muslim people have kept it that way and feel that people who do are being disrespectful not only of the prophet, but of Islam as well when this is not followed.

I'm not sure exactly what you said because I do not know Islam and the Quran well enough.\n\nHowever, I do get bent when Taimur keeps saying "Jesus the Prophet peace be unto him."\n\nEither you believe Jesus was God or you believe he was a lunatic or liar. What Jesus said about Himself left no room for middle ground.\n\nIt's illogical to call Jesus a prophet when He claimed to be God. He said He would take away the sin of the world. A mere man, even if a prophet, has no power to do this. Jesus claimed to be God.\n\nSo call Him God or call Him a liar or lunatic. Just quite with the false ecumenism by calling Him a prophet 'pbuh'

I know quite alot seeming I study Islam and Christian perspectives on moral issues.  Islam's holy book is the Qu'ran, Muhammad the seal of the prophets received the book over 23 years.Muhammad is not the founder of Islam, Muslims believe that God has been sending Revelations since the time of Adam and Eve. Muslims believe that everyone is born to Islam so people do not convert they revert. To be a Muslim means to Submit and surrender to the will of God.Muslims believe that the Qu'ran is the unaltered absolute word of God, they also follow the Hadith of Muhammad,they believe that the Qu'ran tells them what to do and the Hadith how to do it.The Hadith are sometimes called the sunnah depending on whether it is a Sunni or Sh'iah Muslim. There are five pillars of Islam shadhah, Hajj, Saum, zakah,salah . Things that are allowed are called Halal such as meat thats been killed according to Allah. I could really go on and on about Islam.

Islam honors all the prophets who were sent to mankind. Muslims respect all prophets in general, but Jesus in particular, because he was one of the prophets who foretold the coming of Muhammad. Muslims, too, await the second coming of Jesus. They consider him one of the greatest of Allah's prophets to mankind. A Muslim does not refer to him simply as "Jesus," but normally adds the phrase "peace be upon him" as a sign of respect. \nNo other religion in the world respects and dignifies Jesus as Islam does. The Qur'an confirms his virgin birth (a chapter of the Qur'an is entitled "Mary"), and Mary is considered to have been one of the purest women in all creation. The Qur'an describes Jesus' birth as follows: \n\n"Behold!' the Angel said, God has chosen you, and purified you, and chosen you above the women of all nations. Mary, God gives you good news of a word from Him, whose name shall be the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, honored in this world and in the Hereafter, and one of those brought near to God. He shall speak to the people from his cradle and in maturity, and he shall be of the righteous. She said: "My Lord! How shall I have a son when no man has touched me?' \nHe said: "Even so; God creates what He will. When He decrees a thing, \nHe says to it, 'Be!' and it is." [3:42-47]\n\nMuslims believe that Jesus was born immaculately, and through the same power which had brought Eve to life and Adam into being without a father or a mother.\n\n"Truly, the likeness of Jesus with God is as the likeness of Adam. He created him of dust, and then said to him, 'Be!' and he was." [3:59]\n\nDuring his prophetic mission, Jesus performed many miracles. The Qur'an tells us that he said: \n\n"I have come to you with a sign from your Lord: I make for you out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, and breathe into it and it becomes a bird by God's leave. And I heal the blind, and the lepers, and I raise the dead by God's leave." [3:49]\n\nMuhammad and Jesus, as well as the other prophets, were sent to confirm the belief in one God. This is referred to in the Qur'an where Jesus is reported as saying that he came:\n\n"To attest the law which was before me, and to make lawful to you part of what was forbidden you; I have come to you with a sign from your Lord, so fear God and obey me." [3:50]\n\nProphet Muhammad emphasized the importance of Jesus by saying: \n"Whoever believes there is no god but Allah, alone without partner, that Muhammad is His messenger, that Jesus is a servant and messenger of God, His word breathed into Mary and a spirit emanating from Him, and that Paradise and Hell are true, shall be received by God into Heaven. [Bukhari]

Jesus was a prophet, just like the many prophets before him and the one after him.  Besides, how could any one kill God?  Just like God would not lessen himself to an animal, neither would a rich medical doctor go begging on the streets.  The story is, there was a Jewish man named Saul.  He killed hundreds of thousands of Christians for the Roman Empire.  The religion of God was spreading, and his attempts were being unsuccessful.  Many years after prophet Jesus left us, he 'converted' to Christianity and introduced the concept of Zues son of Apollo relationship into Christianity and Saul changed his name and is now known as St. Paul.  According to Christian historians, many verses, including the one where it claims that God says prophet Jesus is His only begotten son, was added by Saul aka St. Paul.  He has destroyed Christianity from within and is now a pagan religion; look around next time you go to church.  The Bible is also full of Islamic prophesies. One that I recall is in genesis ~from the seed of Ishmael I will create a great nation and from him 12 princes will be descendant of. Prophet Muhammad (SAW) was the only one to claim to be from prophet Ishmael plus he had 12 righteous descendants, as also stated in bukhari. The Bible also says that false prophets will not be successful but in the not to far off future, Islam will be the largest religion in this planet. Plus prophet Abraham and prophet Ishmael build the Kaba, and prophet Ishmael is buried there beside the building. Note, prophet Jesus did not have a father and was born of a Virgin Mary with the spirit, but prophet Adam had neither a mother or father and was made of the spirit without any previous human connection. If prophet Jesus brought the dead person to life, prophet Moses brought an inanimate piece of wood into a snake which is more miraculous. What is the miracle of Prophet Muhammad (SAW)? A Book, the Holy Qur'an, unchanged with proof for 1400 years, what other book can claim this? And if you think it was just good book keeping, there is a verse there claiming that God will protect the Holy Qur'an from any changes. Also the banned Bible according to St. Barnabas clearly states that Prophet Muhammad (SAW) will come after prophet Jesus.

GOOD QUESTION\n\nbecause, we invite you to believe in true teachings of Jesus. \n\nJesus never said "I am God", "worship me" or "i have come to die for the sins of mankind".\n\nsecondly,, yes we believe that all the prophets including jesus pbuh were sinless .\n\nand marrying is not a sin. several prophets of God get married.  We also believe that Jesus never murdered any innocent, never owned slaves, never made fun of black people. so as Prophet Muhammad pbuh.. read the truth about Muhammad pbuh >> www.muhammad.net\n\nbeing involve in politics is not bad or sin. although its beneficial for the mankind. and Islam includes the teachings of politics. and social justice. \n\nlet me clarify you one thing.. we dont worship KAABA.\n\nKaaba is the Qibla i.e. the direction Muslims face during their prayers. It is important to note that though Muslims face the Kaaba during prayers, they do not worship the Kaaba. Muslims worship and bow to none but Allah.\n\nIt is mentioned in Surah Baqarah:\n\n"We see the turning of thy face (for guidance) to the heavens: now shall We turn thee to a Qiblah that shall please thee. Turn then thy face in the direction of the Sacred Mosque: wherever ye are, turn your faces in that direction."           [Al-Qur’an 2:144] \n\n=====================\n\nYES AND ISLAM TOO SHUNS RACISM.\n\n"O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other.  Verily the most honoured of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you.  And Allah has full knowledge and is well-acquainted.  (The Noble Quran, 49:13)"\n\n\n================\n\nHOPE THIS ANSWERS.\n\n\nISLAM TAKES BACK US TO THE REAL JESUS WHOSE TEACHINGS ARE BEING INTERPOLATED WITH THE PASSAGE OF TIME.\n\n"And when God will say, `Jesus, son of Mary, didst thou say to men, `take me and my mother as gods, apart from God?' He will say, `Holy be Thou, it is not mine to say what I have no right to ; if I had said it, Thou wouldst have known it; Thou knowest what is in my mind, but I do not know what is in Thy mind; Thou art surely the All-knowing of the unseen things.  I did not say to them except what Thou didst command me: __ `serve God, my Lord and your Lord,' and I was a witness over them, so long as I remained among them; but when Thou didst take me, Thou Thyself wast the watcher over them; and Thou art a witness over all things.

Jesus did announce He is God "\n\n"There is not a single unequivocal statement in the entire Bible where Jesus (peace be upon him) himself says, "I am God" or where he says, "worship me".\n\nI challenge, you will not find any statement where Jesus pbuh HIMSELF said "i am God"... i dont consider what paul , john or other people who wrote books decades after Jesus pbuh. \n\n\n=================\n\nYes i already said that Jesus and Muhammad (peace be upon them both) never murdered any innocent people.

Yes, I have know of Muhammad since my early teens.\n\nMuhammad (c. 570–632) (Arabic: محمد) (listen (help•info)), also transliterated Mohammad, Mohammed, Muhammed, and sometimes Mahomet (following the Turkish), is believed by Muslims to be God's final prophet sent to guide all of mankind with the message of Islam. He is referred to as "The Prophet" (Arabic: النبي) within the faith. Non-Muslims generally consider him to be the founder of Islam.\nAccording to traditional Muslim biographers, he was born c. 570 in Mecca (Makkah) and died on June 8, 632 in Medina (Madinah). Both Mecca and Medina are cities in the Hejaz region of present day Saudi Arabia. The name Muhammad means "the praised one" in Arabic.\nBorn Muhammad ibn Abdullah, he is said to have initially been a merchant who traveled widely.\nMuhammad often retreated to the mountains outside Mecca, for prayer and contemplation. Muslims believe that in 610, at about the age of forty, while praying in one of these mountain caves called Hira, he was visited by the Angel Gabriel who commanded him to memorize and recite the verses sent by God. These verses were later collected as part of the Qur'an. Gabriel told him that God (Allah in Arabic) had chosen him as the last prophet to mankind. He eventually expanded his mission as a prophet, publicly preaching a strict monotheism and warning against a Day of Judgement where all humans shall be held responsible for their deeds. He did not completely reject Judaism and Christianity, two other monotheistic faiths known to the Arabs; rather he said that he had been sent by God in order to complete and perfect their teachings. Many in Mecca resented his preaching and persecuted him and his followers. Muslims believe that this was in part due to his followers' holding Muhammad's authority above that of their leaders. Eventually, persecution followed and in 622, he was forced to flee from Mecca (the Hijra) and settled in Yathrib (now known as Medina) with his followers, where he was the leader of the first avowedly Muslim community. War between factions in Mecca and Medina followed, in which Muhammad and his followers were eventually victorious. The military organization that was created by this struggle was then set to conquering the other tribes of Arabia. By the time of Muhammad's death, he had unified Arabia, spread Islam throughout the Arabian Peninsula, and launched expeditions to the north, towards Syria and Palestine.\nUnder Muhammad's immediate successors, the Islamic empire expanded into Palestine, Syria, Mesopotamia, Persia, Egypt, North Africa, and Iberia. Later conquests, commercial contact between Muslims and non-Muslims, and missionary activity spread Islam over much of the globe.\nSources\nThe main sources for biographies of Muhammad are found in Islamic documments such as the Qur'an, the Sira biographies, and the Hadith collections. While the Qur'an is not a biography of Muhammad, it does provide information about his life. The earliest surviving biographies are the Life of the Apostle of God, by Ibn Ishaq (d. 768), edited by Ibn Hisham (d. 833); and al-Waqidi's (d. 822) biography of Muhammad. Ibn Ishaq wrote his biography some 120 to 130 years after Muhammad's death. The third source, the hadith collections, like the Qur'an, are not a biography per se. In both the Sunni and Shia belief, they are the accounts of the verbal and physical traditions of Muhammad.\nSome skeptical scholars (Wansbrough, Cook, Crone, and others) have raised doubts about the reliability of these sources, especially the hadith collections. They argue that by the time the oral traditions were being collected, the Muslim community had grown and also fractured into rival sects and different schools of thought and each sect and school had its own sometimes conflicting traditions of what Muhammad and his companions had done and said. Traditions multiplied, and Muslim scholars made
