Status of Jesus and Mohamed, in Judaism?

Question

Do Jews believe Moses was the last prophet?

Answer 1

They're just guys.

And no, they believe Malachi was the last prophet.

Moses was "The Great Prophet"

Answer 2

Mohammed and Jesus both have ZERO status in Judaism. It is very simple- they were merely men and nothing more- and as with all men that have tried to change Judaism, they were rejected and ignored. Neither of them is mentioned or discussed in any Jewish religious books or by the Rabbis of the time.

And nope- Moses was not the last prophet- that was Malachi. After his time the Anshei Knesset Hagadol (The Great Sanhedrin) prayed that God would remove idolotary from the world- it was in the pure, attractive form that they had then- but the opposite of idolotary was prophecy, and you could not have the one without the other- thus when true idolotary was removed from the world- so was prophecy.

Answer 3

no Jews do not believe that Moses was the last prophet.
but on a side not that is what some Samaritans believe.

As for Judaism prophecy ended in Malachi about 400 years before Jesus.

As such Jesus and Mohamed are not seen as prophets.

Judaism dose not have an official stance on who Jesus and Mohamed were beyond the fact that they were not prophets.

anything beyond that is personal opinion.

Answer 4

moses was not the last prophecy -- prophecy ended with the death of Malachi I believe. Jesus might have been a jew who tried to reform the religion, but maybe not even that. he was certainly nothing more. And Mohammed was just a tribal warlord. No more than that.

Answer 5

How can people answer this if they are not Jewish? Do you really think you know more about our religion than we do?

Okay, Jesus was a man, but not a god. I have nothing to say about Mohamed.

Answer 6

The last Jewish prophet was well after Moses, and well before jesus..
Thumbs-downing my answer does not make it less true...

Answer 7

GOD Laws are made of three Books: The Old Testament, The new Testament and Quran as a conclusion all originated from the middle east. How can you understand GOD LAWS with out reading GOD Conclusion?

Answer 8

Jews killed most of their prophets.
They are waiting the Antichrist whom by this delusion will think he is the real Christ, but he will kill most of them lately.
Islam is a bloody cult Satan spawn, after thorough study of history, Mohamed has been helped by the Jewish community in the Arabia to confront Christians, since Jews at that time were so jealous of the increasing numbers of Jews being converted into orthodox Christianity!

PROPHET MUHAMMAD (pbuh)
IN THE BIBLE

by

Dr. Zakir Naik

Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) in the Old Testament:


The Qur’an mentions in Surah Al-Araf chapter 7 verse 157:

"Those who follow the Messenger, the unlettered Prophet, whom they find mentioned in their own (scriptures) in the law and the Gospel".

1.
MUHAMMAD (PBUH) PROPHESISED IN THE BOOK OF DEUTERONOMY:



Almighty God speaks to Moses in Book of Deuteronomy chapter 18 verse 18:

"I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and I will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him."

The Christians say that this prophecy refers to Jesus (pbuh) because Jesus (pbuh) was like Moses (pbuh). Moses (pbuh) was a Jew, as well as Jesus (pbuh) was a Jew. Moses (pbuh) was a Prophet and Jesus (pbuh) was also a Prophet.

If these two are the only criteria for this prophecy to be fulfilled, then all the Prophets of the Bible who came after
Moses (pbuh) such as Solomon, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Hosea, Joel, Malachi, John the Baptist, etc. (pbut) will
fulfill this prophecy since all were Jews as well as prophets.

However, it is Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) who is like Moses (pbuh):

i)


Both had a father and a mother, while Jesus (pbuh) was born miraculously without any male intervention.

[Mathew 1:18 and Luke 1:35 and also Al-Qur'an 3:42-47]

ii)
Both were married and had children. Jesus (pbuh) according to the Bible did not marry nor had children.

iii)
Both died natural deaths. Jesus (pbuh) has been raised up alive. (4:157-158)



Muhammad (pbuh) is from among the brethren of Moses (pbuh). Arabs are brethren of Jews. Abraham (pbuh) had two sons: Ishmail and Isaac (pbut). The Arabs are the descendants of Ishmail (pbuh) and the Jews are the descendants of Isaac (pbuh).

Words in the mouth:

Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was unlettered and whatever revelations he received from Almighty God he repeated them verbatim.

"I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him."

[Deuteronomy 18:18]

iv)
Both besides being Prophets were also kings i.e. they could inflict capital punishment. Jesus (pbuh) said, "My kingdom is not of this world." (John 18:36).

v)
Both were accepted as Prophets by their people in their lifetime but Jesus (pbuh) was rejected by his
people. John chapter 1 verse 11 states, "He came unto his own, but his own received him not."

iv)
Both brought new laws and new regulations for their people. Jesus (pbuh) according to the Bible did not bring any new laws. (Mathew 5:17-18).

2.
It is Mentioned in the book of Deuteronomy chapter 18:19



"And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not harken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him."

3.
Muhammad (pbuh) is prophesised in the book of Isaiah:



It is mentioned in the book of Isaiah chapter 29 verse 12:

"And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned."

When Archangel Gabrail commanded Muhammad (pbuh) by saying Iqra - "Read", he replied, "I am not learned".

4.
prophet Muhammad (pbuh) mentioned by name in the old testament:



Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is mentioned by name in the Song of Solomon chapter 5 verse 16:

"Hikko Mamittakim we kullo Muhammadim Zehdoodeh wa Zehraee Bayna Jerusalem."

"His mouth is most sweet: yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters
of Jerusalem."

In the Hebrew language im is added for respect. Similarely im is added after the name of Prophet Muhammad
(pbuh) to make it Muhammadim. In English translation they have even translated the name of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) as "altogether lovely", but in the Old Testament in Hebrew, the name of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is yet present.

Answer 10

No.
