Can you find any difference between Islam and the teachings of any Hebrew prophet?

Answer 1

here are a few


1. Creation: The biblical Genesis account says God created all in six days (see Genesis 1:1 - 2:2). The Quran, however, has a real problem here as Surah 41:9, 10, 12 have a total of eight days of creation (4+2+2=8) Meanwhile, Surah 10:3 gives the total number of days of creation as six. This is a problem of self-contradiction.

2. Pharaoh: According to the Quran (Surah 7:120-125) Pharaoh used crucifixion in dealing with the sorcerers - a practice which historical evidence gives no precedent to before the Babylonian Empire. This is once again a problem of historical compression.

3. The Golden Calf: According to the Quran (Surah 20:90-100)a Samaritan helped the Israelites build the golden calf, and it mooed after coming out of the fire. In reality, Samaritans did not exist as a people until at least 1000 years after the time of the Moses and the Israelite exodus from Egypt. Again a problem of historical compression.

4. Judaism: According to the Quran (Surah 9:30) the Jews believe that Ezra is the Son of God - the Messiah. This never has been a tenet of Judaism. This is a clear problem of distorted knowledge of other religions and historical fact.

5. Alexander the Great: According to the Quran (Surah 18:89-98) Alexander the Great was a devout Muslim and lived to a ripe old age. Historical records however show that Alexander the Great died young at 33 years of age (b. 356 B.C. - d. 323 B.C.), and believed he was divine, forcing others to recognize him as such. In India on the Hyphasis River (now Beas) Alexander erected twelve altars to twelve Olympian gods. Once again the Quran shows errors in historical and religious fact.

6. The Trinity: According to the Quran (Surah 5:116, 5:73-75) the Christians believe in "three Gods" - Father, Mother, and Son. This shows the influence of heretical 'Christian' sects in central Arabia at the time of Muhammad. In contrast, Christianity has always distinctly stated that the Trinity is the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The teaching of the Quran on the Trinity has undoubtedly led to confusion among many Muslims on what the Bible (and thus Christianity) teaches about the Triune God.

7. Mary: According to the Quran (Surah 19:28, 3:33-36), Mary, the mother of Jesus, was the daughter of Imran or Amram, the father of Moses and Aaron. Mary is also said to be the sister of Moses and Aaron. Clearly Muhammad confused Mary with Miriam.
A second interesting point about Mary is the story of the date palm speaking and offering its fruit to her (Surah 19:23). This legend is easily traced to similar legends found in the apocryphal "Protoevangelium of James" the "Pseudo-Matthew" and "the Gospel of the Nativity of Mary" all of which have been dated to the fourth to sixth centuries, and were again believed by the sects found in Arabia. (More indepth information on Quranic sources may be found in Rev. W. St. Clair Tisdall's The Religion of the Crescent).

8. Textual Variants in the Quran: Many Muslims claim that the Quran today is identical to the revelations received by Muhammad. However, there is overwhelming unanswered evidence to the contrary. This includes evidence of variations both prior to, and after Uthman.

Answer 2

Yes, Hebrew prophets spoke the truth and not only spoke the truth but baked up with historical facts, They spoke about a personal God and not like the Islamic god that is abstract. Every Hebrew is consistent with the message of redemption and the coming of their Messiah and all his miracles.

Answer 3

No, there is NO difference b/w Islam and teachings of any Hebrew Prophet (Peace Be Upon Them All) (Provided if there teachings are NOT Distorted). All the Prophets (Peace Be Upon Them All) that came to this world from Prophet Adam (Peace Be Upon Him) till Prophet Mohammad (May Blessings and Peace of ALLAH Be Upon Him) Brought and Preached the Same Message, as they were from the same GOD (ALLAH). And YES, All Prophets (Peace Be Upon Them All) were Muslims 'coz word 'Muslim' has a broader meaning than generally understood.
The General Meaning is :
"A Person who Follows and Practices the Teachings of Islam."
But, its actually NOT That Narrow, it has a broader Definition, as well:-
"A Person Who Submits himself Completely to God (ALLAH) is a Muslim."
To Shawn, i can give complete answers to the questions u arose, but this is Not the place where i can answer u, if u/anyone want to get a response, relating to those points or any other misconception abt Islam, then contact me at [e-mail], and GOD Willingly (Insha'ALLAH) by HIS Grace and Mercy, i will give a thorough response to all ur questions.

Answer 4

Yea a ton. First of all islam thinks that Jesus was muslim. WRONG. Jesus was a Jew. Islam thinks that Abraham was a muslim. WRONG. islam thinks that Mary (mother of Jesus) was a muslim. WRONG. The Bible says that Jesus was the messiah spoken about through the hebrew prophets and that though him salvation would come to the people. islam does not accept Jesus as God or messiah or believe that salvation comes though him. Jesus said, " I and my father are one." "No man comes to the Father, except through me." "What I close, no man can open, and what I open no man can close" (talking about salvation). And so many other things that show a huge contradiction between islam and Christianity. The God of the Bible is the real God. Not allah. He is a false god, he has no power. allah is a pawn of satan.

Answer 5

Hebrew prophets proclaim the coming of the Holy One and that He will redeem His people.

Answer 6

Well, lets see, none of the Hebrew prophets were pedophiles, none of them bribed young, gullible men to commit mass murder in exchange for sex in heaven with 72 unfortunate virgins who will have to spend the rest of eternity as sex slaves (that's hell, not heaven), none of the Hebrew prophets told their minions to go out and murder everyone not muslim, and to spread the murderous rampage over the entire earth. I could go on, but it gives me a headache.

Answer 7

The taking of interest in financial transactions or 'riba' (in Arabic) is prohibited in Islam. I don't think any of the Hebrew prophets prohibited it.

Answer 8

There are some differences. However, both Christianity and Islam are loosely based on the Judaic god, so they are all quite similar. And Judaism is borrowed from many earlier myths.

Superstition is superstition.

Answer 9

John 14:6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

Answer 10

Yeah! Islam is a Continuity of ALL PROPHETS' TRADITIONS, including Jesus'.
