I had this question since a long time. The quaran talks about Jesus more than mohamad , and Jesus was born to a virgin , well the quaran itself says that. Why was mohamad not born to a virgin? , what was Gods purpose for a virgin birth. Well we christians know the reason for the virgin birth . Also the quran talks about Jesus comming in the end days. The Bible also tells the same. Some say mohamad copied the bible and added his own story etc. I dont know how far that is true. I wanted to know from a muslim why do you guys adore mohamad more than Jesus ?
first that's not right. it says you'll meet muhammad in heaven too. let's pretend it's true , isn't that a reason enough to adore him ? i mean he could make most of the humans follow him and pray for him for years and generations , and wrote Quran as it is with not even one mistake and many many secrets that the geniuses are finding out what it means nowadays , it's a reason enough to adore him still. Is he the only prophet who's not born to a virgin ?
I didn't say he is more important , I adore all prophets and no one is better than the other .. but he's just my prophet as a muslim , and am saying that Jesus isn't more important than Muhammad.
Each religion consider its god(s) more important than every other religious god(s). In todays politically correct world they won't admit it in public. But that is the true belief of each and every religion.
What a silly question, again. But let me answer it. For the same reason, Christians adore Jesus more than Muhammad. For the same reason, Buddh adore Buddha more than Jesus. For the same reason, Americans adore America more than any other country. etc etc.
How can you say that one is more important then the other? It's all relative to the person... Also, Christians believe that Jesus was the human incarnation of the Lord, while Muslims believe that Muhammad was a messenger. How could you compare the two?
I highly doubt that, I don't see how he would get there, he can't threaten his way in or pay a bribe, so I think he is stuck where he is at now.
So you are a Christian (I highlight the word above) that contradicts your own " Religion: Non-religion " . Well tell me the reason for virgin birth. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and bless be upon him) did not copy the Bible because he was the unlettered prophet. He was illiterate and Arabic Bible did not exist during his era so it was impossible for him to copy the Bible. Allah is the All-Wise and All-Knowing for He knows that Christians would falsely accuse the Prophet Muhammad of copying the Bible. The fact that the prophet Muhammad was the unlettered prophet had refuted the Christians' false accusation! Ernst Würthwein informs us in his book, The Text Of The Old Testament: “With the victory of Islam the use of Arabic spread widely and for Jews and Christians in the conquered lands it became the language of daily life. This gave rise to the need of Arabic versions of the Bible, which need was met by a number of versions mainly independent and concerned primarily for interpretation.†(Ernst Würthwein, The Text Of The Old Testament (Grand Rapids, Michigan: William B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 1988, pp. 104.) Thus, the first translations of the Hebrew Bible in Arabic appeared after the advent of Islam. In fact, the oldest dated manuscript of the Old Testament in Arabic dates from the first half of the ninth century. Why do the Bible and Quran bear some similarities? Since Allah (God) is the author of Torah, Injeel and Quran , they contain some similarities. However the keepers and writers of the Bible had corrupted the Bible into a lie according to Jeremiah 8:8. The Bible contains so many errors, contradictions, illegal alterations, mistranslation, misinterpretations etc so God sends His Final Testament (The Holy Quran) to all mankind through the prophet Muhammad to guide them back to the path of Allah (God). God has guaranteed the Quran’s protection from any corruption or distortion. God has said: "Indeed, We have sent down the Quran, and surely We will guard it (from corruption). " (Quran, 15:9) As a Muslim I love and respect all the prophets and messengers of Allah and I worship Allah for Allah is the only One true God and I will not worship Jesus for Jesus is just a servant of God according to the Bible and the Holy Quran. How could Constantine and 300 corrupt Christian priests at Nicea appoint Jesus as their God just like the ancient Egyptian and Japanese people who appointed their kings as gods?? How can Christians appoint a man as their god?
The Word of God was spread by word of mouth, that is how mohamad got the ideas that he did copy. Also you are a bit confused or you believe the doctrine about the Bible being corrupted. Not one muslim poster here on DP has been able to back it up, all they have done so far is taken verses out of context to TRY to disprove something and in the same breath try to make mohamad out to be the Holy Spirit spoken in the new testament. No man appointed Jesus as God. Read the words of Jesus in the Bible and see what He says about it. The Bible is always being checked by anything dug up to make sure of the accuracy and so far has proven well. Only interpretations into different languages have found to need to be adjusted to the modern language or corrected to show the modern meaning of a word. Kind of like the word Love in the English vs. the different words of love in the Greek. We only have the one word so the translations have to be discussed to reflect the original meaning of each. Does this take away from the Bible? Absolutely not, it is due to these kinds of translation issues that I find myself digging deeper into the Word of God. In reference to the bolded above - who is the WE in that statement? In the words of a wise man (Forrest Gump) Corrupted is what corrupted does. lol

blah blah blah, I am the most important person guys, wait till there will be NFSians Follow me....! The book (describing how YOU should live your life) is coming soon, too!
Did you read any of these? Let me quess you read the last one and thats it. The lady who works for about.com puts absolutely no facts, just heresay or made up ideas. Either way she didn't back it up with anything. Most Jews don't believe that Jesus was the Christ so why would they want to agree with anything in the new testament about Jesus? I don't understand this whole belief that "the Bible has been corrupted and I have to prove it somehow" doesn't it get old to be owed on a subject? Or does the ends justify the means?
Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) did not copy anything. He was illiterate and he lived in a city of idol worshipers. It is not feasible that he copied the Bible via word of mouth, as the Qur'an covers much more than just Bible stories. And many of these stories in the Qur'an are different compared to the Bible. So did he hear the stories and change them from his own imagination? The similarities are there because both the Bible and the Qur'an came from God. The Bible has been corrupted, as the version you read is different to the one my neighbour reads. Which one is right? How do you know? I'm not talking about translations, I'm talking about versions. Missing books from the Catholic Bible is an example of how the original scriptures just don't exist. Certainly none in the language that Jesus (upon be peace) spoke. The "We" in verses in the Qur'an refer to God. The plural is used to signify His greatness, which is how semetic languages work. It does not mean more than one. Peace
Well, mohamads version of god is completely different than the God of Moses, Abraham, Isaac or Jesus. This God that I know has love and enough that He sent His son to pay the price we ALL deserved to pay. mohamads god want death, tells lies to get his way, is ok with 9 year olds marrying a 50+ y.o. prophet? hmm quite the contrast. And no the version your neighbor has is most likely not different than mine in meaning. The words may be different because of the interpretation used from the original language to the language it is in, but not the meaning. (of course there are a couple of exceptions like the catholic and jw's bibles) But again, you are going by heresay and actually don't know what you are repeating. Why? cause you are not allowed to question the authorities. If you question them, then you may lose your life. Sometimes truth is worth the price, so try questioning them even in secret to see if what they say it true.
can you prove that? that muhammad copy it? I guess not. if my believe different with yours, so what is your problem? do you want that all people in the world become christians? believe in jesus? I will take my consequences if my believe is wrong, and so will you. we will be judge one day, and pitty that the dead can't tell us story. why you hate islam or muslim so much? they billions or them. I can't imagine one person can hate so many people, I pitty you.
