How come they call Muhammad a prophet?

Question

In arabic the word phrophet means someone who can predict the future. If you read the Koran and study it your going to find that the book itself is a collection of poems of statues that were used for worship. Also it's a collection from the bible, the torah and authors of that time. It's better if they call him a messenger because thats as good as he can get for being a terrorist.

I did read the Quran from page to page and I found it full of crap, and very stupid for any one to believe in it.

Answer 1

As I was taught in my Catholic upbringing a Prophet is a messenger, specifically someone selected by God to bring his words to mankind, like Moses, Elijah, Elisha, or John the Baptist. If you believe Muhammad's message came from God, by whatever name, then he is, in fact, a Prophet. The idea that a Prophet can for tell the future is a misinterpretation of cases in the Bible where God used his Prophets to give the people of Israel a heads up about what He was planning to do so they could ready, as when God told Moses about the final plague on Egypt and what to do about it. That was not Moses predicting the future, only relaying a warning.

Answer 2

you are very ignorant and you know absolutely nothing about the Quran and Prophet Muhammed.

you have never read 1 full chapter in the Quran and read absolutely NOTHING about the biography of the holy prophet and the history of the message of Islam.

Answer 3

Same reason they call Ezekial a prophet, or Jesus "messiah". If you start a religion, you get to gice everyone titles that you want them to have.

Answer 4

Your thoughts are alluring to you in theory, now the next step is to actually study so you won't appear as ignorant.

Answer 5

Perhaps is a translation thing - or perhaps it speaks of the future.
