A prophet can bear record of himself. the Qu'ran reveals Muhammed Muahammed reveals the Qu'ran...We are not sure if Jesus is the Christ or Messiah...he can only be confirmed by the Qu'ran 600 years after the fact. We do not know if the Quran call all previous scriptue devine revelation or corrupt? All we really know is Jesus is not God because Muahhmed said so and there is no tritnity becuase Muhammed said so. and all previous scriputre and prophets words are corrupt and cant be trusted because Muhmmed said so///thier in effect is no word of God prior ot Muahmmed and there will be no word of God after Muhammed...therefore Muahmmed speaks for God and all the prophets now and forever....Is this the whole of the Muslim religion?

Fagies is it just me or didnt Muhammed bring you the Qu'ran? Therfore all the word of God only comes for Muhammed none before him none after him?

Zahran Again the Qu'ran was brought by one man (Muhammed) and God can only bring scripture through him as all aceripture prior to hism is corrupt and no scripture or prophet can bring anyhting after him....thus the same problem everything you have form Allah is directly through Muhammed with no verification of anyone else nor God. God can only speak through Muahmmed...doesnt that sort of limit Allahs powers his whole entirety of his word is only through Muahmmed and he is only anounced by himself? Allah is the same God of Abraham Right? This is the same God of Abraham isnt it? he had many prophets before and all were anounced never bearing record of themselves before right? even Christ did not bear record of himself...What made this God change his method of opperation. he always before said a amn bearing record of himself was a liar why did he cahnge his mind and decide everything he has to say has to filter through Muhammed?

Unforgotten while I fnd it impressive tha allah can write and send messages in Arabic...I'm less impressed than you that this is a miracle of God...As my god can send his word to all people in all the owrld in every language..Your idead that the Qu'ran is not corrupt is definitely in much debate...but not an arguement I care to get into now. the fact remains That your God says he is my god and my God says a man bearing record of himself is a liar...This alone proves the Qu'ran not my God and if Allah says he is then the Qu'ran easily must be wrong to put it polite.

Readkoran...If it is your contention that Muhammed or the Qu'ran is in agreement with the Torah...You seriously need to read it again. There is no agreement. No man bears record of himself all scripture and prophets are revealed by God. The torah is called corrupt and could not be in agreement wiht the Qu'ran unless the Qu'ran is also corrupt...You have but to read any previous scripture to find they are by no means in agreement and is the reason Muslims call previous scripture corrupt...I could show so many difference begining with the story of Issac and i agree that Muhammed did not know scripture but he did not convince Jews and Chrisitans of which I am one and have no trouble finding his mistakes....Your idea that Muhammed was somehow perfect truly borders on worship and I believe that no man should be worshiped according to your religion. I do know that Christ is perfect and worthy of worship but believe that to be considered wrong by the Qu'ran.

Santuary: Do Muslims really believe that Prince Charles and Scientist are really seeking the truth of the world from the Qu'ran? Thats truly sounds like a bad commercial and I'm not buying the product...Charles is not Muslim. Scientist are not converting to Islam fella this is more Muslim propaganda that only those with weak minds would believe or repeat. God revealed ot muahmmed that all prophet before his words were corrupted and there would be no prophet after him therfore the word of God only flows through this dead prophet and now with Muahmmed dead i supose there is no mediator and God must now shut up...Teh fact is God has spoken through many prophets and is not dependent on any one man never was never will be. If God has only Muhammed to depend on he is indeed a weak god don't you think? Especially now with Muhammed being dead should the Qu'ran become corrupt how would you know? There is none to tell you. God cant he only speaks through Muahmmed. The religion makes no sense.

Excellent question and I agree with every word you say. Muslims only have Muhammad's word for it. Muhammad didnt even have a relationship with God because he says the Angel Gabriel spoke with him.
If you notice in the Bible that Moses walked with God and knew God Face to Face and when Moses spoke with God, his face shined brightly. Jesus knows God inside out and His face too did shine because He is God. Moses as did Jesus also performed miracles to prove that God was with them.
Muhammad only spoke with the Angel Gabriel and couldnt even prove to his people that God was with him through the performance of any miracles saying "Im just a man". He couldnt honestly say he was a man of God because he really was a man of Satan with an acestory of idol worship.
If the Koran is really God's word then God would have revealed atleast some part of it directly to Muhammad like he did with Moses.
Mohammad single handedly , with the inspiration of Satan has deceived all Muslims.

Well unfortunately Mohammad was the last prophet chosen by God. Every Prophet has his own miracles. Noah who built the ark,lived for a long time.Jonah who was swallowed by a whale and lived there for some time and came out of the stomach of the whale hale and healthy.Abraham,Moses, Jesus, all have miracles of their own. And prophets with books are; Torah-Moses, Zabur-David; Bible- Jesus; Koran- Mohammad.
Each prophet or their diciples have written their books but Mohammad's miracle was his book because he didn't write it himself but he recited the words of God that was revealed to him through Gabriel the angel.
God did not deny the other prophets sayings but he indeed rectified the facts that were incorrect.Like the Bible has quite a few modified forms by the christians. The old testament and the new testament.The new one has some information missing.
The Koran talks about the miracles that the earlier prophets have written in their books.
The information written in the koran is about the past and the future.That is why Prince Charles has appointed people to find the information given in the koran that actually helps their scientists and philosophers.
So the moslem religion and their book is very complete and informative for people who want to learn and research more about the hidden truths of life .

Here are a few points that you need to consider.
- Muslims accept Jesus was a prophet. A prophet of God would not lie nor deliberately deceive people. Although Jesus never explicitly claimed to be God, He gave us many pointers to who He really was, which are in the Bible. I give you just one. Wile He was praying to His Father (John's Gospel), He said, "...the glory I shared with you before the world began..." There are many others and if you research this site under "Divinty of Jesus, you can read them)
The Qur'an says
- that if you have difficulty understanding its writings you should consult 'The people of the Book' (Bible).
-The book came from God.
-The book will be preserved by God.

Is this the whole of the Muslim religion? nope.
According to Islam(Quran) God sent around 124000 prophets to 'here'. 5 of them are\were more important and did more which islam calls them 'o-lol-azm'.(all prophets were grate and did many stuff. but these five did a little more).
these 5 prophets are Mosis-Isaiah(don't know how it exactly spells)Noah-Ibrahim-Mohammad(pbuh-for all of them).
Muhammed(pbuh) said that Jesus is not God or the son of god or any of those. but he is a prophet and a messenger of God.
Quran does not call them 'corrupt' from what i know, but maybe ''unfinished''.
I'm sure that Jesus is not God or son of God cause according to my religion God has no son.
Muhammad is 'one' of the prophets who speaks for God, but said a lot from God.

1. Muhammad (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him) was raised illiterate, unable to read or write, and remained like that till his death. Among all his people, he was known as being truthful and trustworthy. Before receiving revelation, he had no prior knowledge of Religion or any previously sent Message. He remained like that for his first forty years. Revelation then came to Muhammad with the Koran that we now have between our hands. This Koran mentioned most of the accounts found in the previous scriptures, telling us about these events in the greatest detail as if he witnessed them. These accounts came precisely as they were found in the Torah sent down to Moses and in the Gospel sent down to Jesus. Neither the Jews or Christians were able to belie him regarding anything that he said.
2. Muhammad (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him) also foretold of everything that would occur to him and his community after him, pertaining to victory, the removal of the tyrannical kingdoms of Chosroes [the royal title for the Zoroastrian kings of Persia] and Caesar, and the establishment of the religion of Islam throughout the earth. These events occurred exactly as Muhammad foretold, as if he was reading the future from an open book.
3. Muhammad (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him) also brought an Arabic Koran that is the peak of eloquence and clarity. The Koran challenged those eloquent and fluent Arabs of his time, who initially belied him, to bring forth a single chapter like the Koran. The eloquent Arabs of his day were unable to contest this Koran.
Indeed, till our day, none has ever dared to claim that he has been able to compose words that equal-or even approach-the order, grace, beauty, and splendor of this Glorious Koran.
4. The life history of this Noble Prophet was a perfect example of being upright, merciful, compassionate, truthful, brave, generous, distant from all evil character, and ascetic in all worldly matters, while striving solely for the reward of the Hereafter. Moreover, in all his actions and dealings, he was ever mindful and fearful of Allah.
5. Allah instilled great love for Muhammad (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him) in the hearts of all who believed in and met him. This love reached such a degree that any of his companions would willingly sacrifice his (or her) self, mother or father for him.
Till today, those who believe in Muhammad honor and love him. Anyone of those who believe in him would ransom his own family and wealth to see him, even if but once.
6. All of history has not preserved the biography of any person in the manner it has preserved the life of Muhammad, who is the most influential human in history.
Nor has the entire earth known of anyone whom every morning and evening, and many times thereafter throughout the day, is thought of by those who believe in him. Upon remembering Muhammad, the believers in him will greet him and ask Allah to bless him. They do such with full hearts and true love for him.
7. Nor has there every been a man on earth whom is still followed in all his doings by those who believe in him.
Those who believe in Muhammad, sleep in the manner he slept; purify themselves (through ablution and ritual washing) in the manner he purified himself; and adhere to his practice in the way they eat, drink, and clothe themselves.
Indeed in all aspects of their lives, the believers in Muhammad adhere to the teachings he spread among them and the path that he traveled upon during his life.
During every generation, from his day till our time, the believers in this Noble Prophet have fully adhered to his teachings. With some, this has reached the degree that they desire to follow and adhere to the Prophet's way in his personal matters regarding which Allah has not sought of them to adhere to in worship. For example, some will only eat those specific foods or only wear those specific garments that the Messenger liked.
Let alone all that, all those who believe in Muhammad repeat those praises of Allah, special prayers, and invocations that he would say during each of his actions during day and night, like: what he would say when he greeted people, upon entering and leaving the house, entering and leaving the mosque, entering and leaving the bathroom, going to sleep and awaking from sleep, observing the new crescent, observing the new fruit on trees, eating, drinking, dressing, riding, traveling and returning from travel, etc.
Let alone all that, all those who believe in Muhammad fully perform-even to the minute detail-every act of worship-like prayer, fasting, charity, and pilgrimage-as this Noble Messenger (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him) taught and as he himself performed.
All of this allows those who believe in him, to live their lives in all aspects with this Noble Messenger as their example, as if he was standing before them, for them to follow in all their doings.
8. There has never been nor will there ever be a man anywhere upon this earth who has received such love, respect, honor, and obedience in all matters-small and large alike-as has this Noble Prophet.
9. Since his day, in every region of the earth and during every period, this Noble Prophet has been followed by individuals from all races, colors and peoples. Many of those who followed him were previously Christians, Jews, pagans, idolaters, or without any religion. Among those who chose to follow him, were those who were known for their sound judgment, wisdom, reflection, and foresight. They chose to follow this Noble Prophet after they witnessed the signs of his truthfulness and the evidences of his miracles. They did not choose to follow Muhammad out of compulsion or coercion or because they had adopted the ways of their fathers and mothers.
Indeed many of the followers of this Prophet (may Allah's blessings peace be upon him), chose to follow him during the time when Islam was weak, when there were few Muslims, and when there was severe persecution of his followers on earth. Most people who have followed this Prophet (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him) have done so not to acquire some material benefits. Indeed many of his followers have suffered the greatest forms of harm and persecution as a result of following this Prophet. Despite all this harm and persecution, this did not turn them back from his religion.
My brethren! All of this clearly indicates to anyone possessing any sense, that this Prophet was truly and really Allah's messenger and that he was not just a man who claimed prophethood or spoke about Allah without knowledge.
10. With all this, Muhammad came with a great religion in its credal and legal make-up.
Muhammad described Allah with qualities of complete perfection, and at the same time in a manner that is free of ascribing to Him any imperfection. Neither the philosophers or the wise could ever describe Allah like such. Indeed it is impossible to imagine that any human mind could conceive of an existing being that possesses such complete ability, knowledge, and greatness; Who has subdued the creation; Who has encompassed everything in the universe, small or large; and Who possesses such perfect mercy.
Nor is it in the ability of any human being to place a perfect law based upon justice, equality, mercy and objectivity for all human activity on earth like the laws that Muhammad brought for all spheres of human activity - like buying and selling, marriage and divorce, renting, testimony, custody, and all other contracts that are necessary to uphold life and civilization on earth.
11. It is impossible that any person conceive wisdom,, morals, good manners, nobleness of characters as what this honorable Prophet (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him) brought.
In a full and complete manner, Muhammad spread a teaching regarding character and manners toward one' parents, relatives, fiends, family, humanity, animals, plants and inanimate objects. It is impossible for the human mind alone to grasp all of that teaching or come with a similar teaching.
All of that unequivocally indicates that this Messenger did not bring an) of this religion from his own accord, but that it was rather a teaching and inspiration that he received from the One Who created the earth and the high heavens above and created this universe in its miraculous architecture and perfection.
12. The legal and credal make-up of the religion that the Messenger, Muhammad, (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him) brought resembles the engineering of the heavens and the earth. All of that indicates that He who created the heavens and the earth is the One Who sent down this great law and upright religion.
The degree of inimitability of the Divine law that was sent down upon Muhammad is to the same degree of inimitability of the Divine creation of the heavens and earth. For just as humanity cannot create this universe, in the same manner humanity cannot bring forth a law like Allah's law that He sent down upon His servant and messenger Muhammad (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him).
