Answer 1

Muslims claim their doctors examined the human body, and found new cures for disease, but the overwhelming majority of these doctors (99%) were Assyrians. In the fourth, fifth, and sixth centuries Assyrians began a systematic translation of the Greek body of knowledge into Assyrian. At first they concentrated on the religious works but then quickly moved to science, philosophy and medicine. Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Galen, and many others were translated into Assyrian, and from Assyrian into Arabic. It is these Arabic translations which the Moors brought with them into Spain, and which the Spaniards translated into Latin and spread throughout Europe, thus igniting the European Renaissance and this happened also in architecture, maths and other science

Answer 2

I will read this and respond in just a bit, I appreciate your politeness though, peace, a Muslim

OK, I agree with the part of the Quranic verse that is quoted in arabic with the translation. I did not get time to verify all the others (english quoted). In essence, No, Muhammad PBUH did not rephrase any existing science or stories. He passed on word by word what was revealed to him from Allah through Gibrael (the angel). There is no question about this belief, there is no scientific proof of these revelations either, but belief is not science anyways. Coming back to the Nutfah (sperm) theory, this is true science that we know today. Allah told this to mankind through his last prophet PBUH so many centuries ago.

Do write to me for other questions about my religion, I hope that I can help you understand Islam better and better. Peace

Answer 3

The west stole everything from the Muslims. What is in the Qur'an is true. ALLAH revealed the Qur'an to Muhammed(PBUH*). The Qur'an is full of truth. I'm a Muslim and know that it was Islam that established the first democracy, Islam that perfected the alphabet and the number system that the west uses today, Muslim scientists who wrote the first real book of medicine, Muslims that found the New World before Christopher Columbus, etc.

Answer 4

Where Mohamed got His ideas from is not important as much as to what He has to say. Is it interesting or not ? Is is God-inspired or not ? Is it a good way of thinking and living; probably yes. Prophet are not laundry detergents whereby one can have a consumer magazine compare their qualities and shortages. They are to be respected, even if you do not believe or belong to one religion or another. Respect is what the world needs, not controversy, polemic and confrontation !
