there is no prophecy in the quran. it is contradictory to the bible which does have fulfilled prophecies.

First and foremost a false prophet will not teach the truth in Jesus Christ. He will do it for his own glory not Gods. He will not teach peace in the name of God but war.

First let me tell Argu.... Just because Jesus was born of a virgin doesn't mean he was the son of God. It's called a miracle. Every prophet has them.\n\nNow to the question - the point the Quran is trying to make is that the Prophets were sent to the people as warners. Period. Allah is telling us that He sent such warners to the people so they would understand and the prophets are not Gods, but are divinely guided human beings.

Refer to notes at end if you don't understand some words.\n\nThe following is a hadith:\n\n Hudhaifah bin Al-Yaman reported that the Messenger of Allah sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam said,\n\n"Prophethood (meaning himself) will remain with you for as long as Allah wills it to remain, then Allah will raise it up wherever he wills to raise it up. Afterwards, there will be a Caliphate that follows the guidance of Prophethood remaining with you for as long as Allah wills it to remain. Then, He will raise it up whenever He wills to raise it up. Afterwards, there will be a reign of violently oppressive [The reign of Muslim kings who are partially unjust] rule and it will remain with you for as long as Allah wills it to remain. Then, there will be a reign of tyrannical rule and it will remain for as long as Allah wills it to remain. Then, Allah will raise it up whenever He wills to raise it up. Then, there will be a Caliphate that follows the guidance of Prophethood." \n\nThen Hudhaifah said, "The Prophet stopped speaking." [As-Silsilah As-Sahihah, vol. 1, no. 5]\n\nScholars of hadith explain that the prophethood mentioned here is that of Muhammad (saw) and that what came next after that were the khulafaah (plural of khalifah which is the arabic for caliph) that followed the guidance of Muhammad (saw). Meaning they were on the right guidance and their rule was just and true (a right from Allah). Scholars explain that this refers to the rule of the four first khulafaah (Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman and Ali- may Allah be pleased with them) about whom Muhammad (saw) said in another narration were the rightly-guided khulafaah. He (saw0 also said, "The Caliphate will remain in my nation after me for thirty years. Then, it will be a monarchy after that." [Ahmad, Tirmidhi and others, Sahih Al-Jami` ' As-Saghir no. 3341]\n\nThe next stage is explained in the parentheses (by scholars)- that there were Muslim kings after the first four khulafaah who were not khalifahs- but kings (kings meaning monarchy) who were partially unjust. Scholars have excluded several who were among these kings- because of their rulership being akin to that of the first four who were rightly-guided and because they were from the lineage of the Quraysh, the tribe from which Muhammad belonged to.\n\nScholars consider the third stage to be of that after the Ottoman Empire (whose kings/sultans were considered the last), after whom were tyrannical leaders put in place by the colonizers and the Chrisitan or non-Muslim nations. This is the worst of times when fitnah (temptations, falsehood, evil, oppression , etc.)  are near their highest.\n\nFinally, the Mahdi (this is a title given to the khalifah who will be from the first in the return of a Caliphate that rules following the guidance of the Prophet (saw)), an ordinary man, born to an ordinary women raised by ordinary men and living an ordinary life with the people of his time. "In reality, Al-Mahdi will be an Imam and a Caliph, among other Caliphs who rule Muslims with justice. However, what differentiates Al-Mahdi from other Caliphs is that he will meet Jesus son of Mary sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam." (excerpt taken from article). \n\n"Also, Jesus, the Prophet of Allah, will pray behind Al-Mahdi. Allah will give Al-Mahdi the ability to righteously rule the Muslim nation in the span of a night. He will fill the earth with justice, as it was filled with injustice. He will lead the Muslim nation to the second conquering of Constantinople and possibly Rome." (another excerpt taken from article).\n\n"The Muslim should not wait for the emergence of the Mahdi, rather he has to strive hard and devote his efforts to support Islam, and to do whatever he can for the religion. He should not hope and wait for the emergence of the Mahdi or anyone else, rather he should correct himself, his family and the people around him, so that when he meets Allaah he meets Him having done his

Aaron (Harun) pbuh is surely a prophet of Islam.\n Allah says in the Quraan,(to Musa as) "Go to fir`aun, surely he has exceeded (all)bounds. He (Musa as) said "My Lord!Expand for me my breast, and ease for me my affair, and loose a knot from my tongue, that they may understand my word, and appoint from me a minister from my household, Harun, my brother;confirm my strength by him, and assosiate him in my affair, so that we may glorify You much, and remember You much. Surely You are ever seeing us" He (Allah) said: "you are indeed granted your petiton Oh Musa...' (Ta Ha, 20:24-36)\n\nand: Go both of you to Firaun, surely he has exceeded all bounds. Yet speak to him a gentle word, that perchance he may be admonished, or may fear." The two said: "Our Lord! We fear that he may hasten against us or that he may be inordinate. He (Allah) said "Fear not. Surely I shall be with you both, hearing and seeing. So go to him, and say, 'surely we are two Messengers of your Lord, so send forth the children of Isra'el with us and chastise them not. Indeed we have braught you a sign from your Lord; and peace be upon him who follows the guidance...!" ( Ta Ha, 20:43-47)\n\nThese are just two of the many verses of the Quraan that give us clear proof that Harun (as) was made a messenger as well. \n\nMoses(pbuh) had a stutter. This is one of the reasons that He asked Allah to make Harun as a prophet as well so that he could assist him with his work of preaching Islam. Allah granted Musa as his wish as He (Allah) says "you are indeed granted your petiton Oh Musa"\n\nand in another verse in the same Chapter or Surah  "So go to him, and say, 'surely we are two Messengers of your Lord"\n\nI know this is not part of your question part its a good point to bring up--\nThe second verse is a challenge to those who say that we muslims are commanded in the Quraan to kill anyone that is not a muslim and that we are to force feed Islam to the non-muslims.\nGo both of you to Firaun, surely he has exceeded all bounds. Yet speak to him a gentle word,....."\n\nI really do hope that your question has been answered and have a better understanding now(And Allah knows best)

Hz Muhammed (SAV) My prophet. Actually he is prophet of All people but some poeple dont believe him. When baby girls bury, when mans and mans marry together, when codgers dead, when slave traders by and sell slaves he come and change every thing change every world. Hey you, stop then think. He was leader of millions people but he was poor and he worked all time of days. Why ? Because same me and you he is vassal. he didnt agree fortune. He is work only for Allah and peoples.

I really don't know but that's something I certainly didn't know. Muhammad sounds like a noble Prophet. I learn that he was a Prophet from my Teacher in class about a month ago..

Hey, I'm no prophet; but thanks for the remark.\n\n\nOk, I'll play along.\n\nOpen thine ears, and hearken unto my voice all true Squiggries and Migglies. The day of reckoning is at hand. Let the wrath of the Bafuudo be redeemed. Arise, I tell you, arise and take up arms against the lowly zabubabulooians. For they shall be like flies to our newspaper, and ants to our magnifying glass.\n\nSo saith airborne_lt
