Was prophet Muhammed taught by a Christian priest?

Question

The biography of prophet Muhammed tells that prophet Muhammed had a relative (Waraqa Ibn Nufal) who was a Christian priest and he used to meet him regularly.

The biography also shows that when that priest (Waraqa) died, prophet Muhamemd had NO MORE REVEALATIONS to the extent that HE ATTEMPTED SUICIDE many times.

The above story gives the following hints:

1- There was unexplained coincidence between the death of the Christian priest (Waraqa) and the sudden stop of Quran revealation.

2- Prophet Muhammed was too upset for the death of Waraqa and the stopping of the revealation to the extent that he attempted suicide many times.

3- There is obvious difference in the lnaguage between the Quran verses that were revealed before the death of Waraqa and those revealed after his death.

Does this mean that there could be some possiblity that the Christian priest Waraqa may have been the REAL AUTHOR of the Quran?

Answer 1

Yes., Mohammad learnt Christianity from the relative of his wife Khadija - Waraqa ibn Nofal; but, no, Waraqa wasn't the author of the Qua'ran.

Answer 2

Come on..you actually beleive these craps! I wonder where you get al lthese information. Yes Waraqa was a christian priest but he was a friend of his wife Khadijah. ( I cant remember if he is a fren or a relative to khadijah, his wife). Waraqa only told him that there is a prediction in the bible that there will be another prophet and that he also predict that Muhammad(pbuh) will be chase out from Mecca and few other things thats all!

Answer 3

Prophet Muhammad preached the same Message that was taught by Prophet Jesus. i.e, to worship the ONLY ONE God.

The things that u have mentioned are totally wrong. Prophet Muhammad had never even thought of commiting sucide.

Actually, the Christian Priest had understood very well that Prophet Muhammad was the true Prophet, as he had seen alll the signs shown in Bible. So u should also accept Islam, since the Priesy had admitted.

Answer 4

4:82 Will they not, then, try to understand this Qur’an? Had it issued from any but God, they would surely have found in it many an inner contradiction!



Anyway,
So did that Christian priest believe that he was the Messiah? and that he should try to get his word across by having someone else tell it?

Was that christian also a scientist, a really good one because of all of the truth he wrote?

Or is it possible that Muhammad (PBUH) met a Christian without killing him or stealling his ideas?

I'd have to say that it is very possible.

Answer 5

purely 2 real aspects have been given in this so called question. one million: Sahih Bukhari 6411 which says: 6411. Nafi', the customer of 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar, correct from 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar that the Messenger of Allah, would Allah bless him and grant him peace, decrease off the hand for a glance after nicely worth 3 dirhams. Muhammad ibn Ishaq corroborated it. Al-Layth reported that Nafi' correct its cost. 2: Quran 9:29 (enable's examine in context) [9:27] ultimately, GOD redeems whomever He wills. GOD is Forgiver, maximum Merciful. [9:28] O you who have faith, the idol worshipers are polluted; they shall not be authorised to attitude the Sacred Masjid after this 300 and sixty 5 days. if you're worried loss of earnings, GOD will bathe you along with his provisions, in accordance along with his will. GOD is Omniscient, maximum clever. [9:29] You shall combat back against people who don't think in GOD, nor in the final Day, nor do they restrict what GOD and His messenger have prohibited, nor do they abide via the religion of certainty - between people who won the scripture - till they pay the due tax, willingly or unwillingly. Now all of us understand that the guy who claims to have all this information approximately Islam isn't something extra advantageous than yet another hate writer between human variety.

Answer 6

Purity of Quran
Allah challenge you in Quran 2:23,24 of making any chapter like Quran, Accept God's challenge if you truthful?
And if there is anything that perturbs your mind or makes you skeptical about the truth and authenticity of what We have revealed to our Servant Muhammad, then produce a single Surah(Chapter) which is like this in magnificence , grandeur , wisdom , eloquence and esteem ; and call upon your aids who you think are the most knowledgeable and sagacious, for your help, besides Allah, to prove yourself true. But if you cannot - and surely you cannot - then guard yourself against the Inferno of devastation, whose fuel are the commoners and the crafty ones alike , readied for those who are bent upon denying and defying this paradisiacal code of life.

Purity of Quran

Answer 7

I heard he was turned off to Christianity because of the Roman Catholic reverencing and praying to Mary.

Answer 8

If the Qur'an is so pure why are there a variety of translations with drastically different content.

Maybe it's because Aramatic isn't a very good language.
