The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) Did Not Bring About A New Religion by Ahmed4002(m): 9:27am On Jun 25, 2015 |
The Prophet Muhammad did not bring about a new religion or a new way of life as some people may think. On the contrary, the prophet confirmed the message of all the previous prophets by way of his conduct and the divine revelation he received from the Almighty God. The scripture that Muhammad came with is called the Quran; which literally means, “that which is recited.” Because Muhammad (pbuh) did not write the Quran, he did not author it. But, the angel Gabriel came and recited it to him and Allah made his heart a receptacle to that, just as a satellite is receptive of waves and gives you images. Is there any other book in the history of the world that you know of that has been preserved, without the changing of even a dot? No book—only the Quran. Don’t take my word for it. Go to the library and read any encyclopedia -read what it says about Islam, Muhammad (pbuh), and the Quran. Read what non-Muslims say about Islam, the Quran and Muslims. Then you will see that what I am saying is universally documented; that Muhammad (pbuh) was the most profound individual in the history of humanity. Profound why? Read what non-Muslims have said. The Quran is the most profound piece of literature in history. Read what they said. Islamic life is so comprehensive, precise and dynamic that it has never changed. Read what they said. All of the previous prophets, their scriptures and their stories and the principle message they came with are mentioned in the Quran with profound detail. Did Muhammad (pbuh) meet them, talk with them, and collaborate with them to write their biographies? No, of course he didn’t. In the Quran, the prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is referred to as the messenger of God, and that is his limit as a human being. Muslims do not worship Muhammad-they are not Mohammedans. We have no right to take the name Muhammad and claim that we are Mohammedans. Normal people who followed Moses were not called Mosesans, or the people who followed Jacob were not called Jacobeans, and the people who followed Abraham were not called Abrahamians. So how do people call themselves Christians? Christ never called himself a Christian. We have to be Christ-like. What was Christ like? He was a servant of Almighty God. So we have to be servants of God. That’s all. As the final revelation of God, the Quran makes a very clear and concise statement: “This day I have perfected for you your religion, bestowed my favor upon you and chosen ‘Islam’, for you, as a complete way of life.” So through the Quran, the word ‘Islam’ came. Islam did not come with a new God nor did it come with a new order: It is just the word Islam that is new—not the practice, not a new God—just a new name. khaleed yaseen - purpose of Life 1 Like |

Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, Jacob, Solomon,
Ishmael, Isaac, Jesus and Muhammad, may the
peace and blessings of God be upon all of them.
All of these men came with the exact same
message from the same God. They said one
thing—the same thing: worship God. Obey God,
and fulfill your purpose in life, do good actions,
and you will be rewarded with another life.
Don’t make it more than that. That is all they
said, regardless of what language, what time,
and who they came to. If you read the
scriptures carefully without your interpretation
or someone else’s interpretation or someone
else’s fabrication, you will find that this is their
simple message. Not one of those prophets ever
claimed, “I am God. Worship me.” You don’t have
to think about it; you won’t find it in any book
you have: not the Bible, not the Torah, not the
old or the New Testament, not the Psalms of
David. You will not find it in any book. You will
not find it from the speech of any prophet. Not
once anywhere. So where did this come from?
That is something else you have to investigate.
History has a way of turning over every stone.
We can immediately see from this definition
that this is what all the Prophets did. They came
and surrendered themselves to God, and asked
the people and insisted upon the people to do
deeds of righteousness. The Ten Commandments
of Moses, what were they? The proverbs of
Solomon, what do they say? The Psalms of
David, for what? The Bible? What did Jesus
say? What did Muhammad say? “And they were
ordered with nothing except to worship Allah and
be sincere to Him, and this is the Straight
Way.” [Quran, Chapter 98: Verse 5] This is the
original way. And by the same token, we can
consider all of the prophets as Muslims—those
who surrender themselves to God and obey
Him...Don’t consider the language, don’t think of
Mecca or Saudi Arabia or Egypt. Think of
someone who obeys and worships God. Everything
that surrenders to the Lord is a Muslim. The sun
going around in an orbit is a Muslim. The law of
gravity is a Muslim. Therefore, when we willfully
obey Almighty God, we are Muslims. Jesus Christ
was a Muslim. His mother—his blessed mother
was a Muslim. Abraham was a Muslim. All the
prophets were Muslim. But they came to their
people and they spoke different languages. The
prophet Muhamad (pbuh) spoke the language of
Arabic. And so in the Arabic language the one
who submits and surrenders to God is a
“Muslim.” All the prophets and messengers came
with the same message: to obey the Almighty
God and be sincere towards Him. If we examine
the message of each of the well-known
prophets, we can easily conclude this fact.
Where there is conflict is because of false
assertions, fabrications, exaggerations,
personalized interpretations of alleged writers,
historians, scholars, and individuals. 2 Likes |

Islam is acknowledging that God is the only one
deserving of worship, that there will be a Day of
Judgment. Islam is to acknowledge the existence
of the angels with the duty of revealing the
divine messages to the prophets—controlling the
winds, the oceans and to take the life of those
God ordered to die. Acknowledging that all the
Prophets of God were righteous men and were
all sent by God, and acknowledging that there
will definitely be a day of resurrection after
death, and that all good and evil has been
proportioned by God. In Islam is to uphold strict
monotheism- Not to worship any partners
besides God, not to say anything about God that
you have no right to say—this means: not to say
that He has a father, a mother, a son, an aunt
or even a board of trustees—not to say
anything about God that you have no right to
say. To bear witness, this means that you
sentence yourself either to peace and Paradise
or, in declining, to a state of confusion,
frustration and ultimately hellfire and
punishment. You sentence yourself—you ask
yourself, “Do I bear witness that there is only
one God? 2 Likes 1 Share |

And which of the prophets you mentioned moved to the total annnihalation of the jews and christians, and remove them from the world map? Keep decieving urself. Anyone who kills people because they believe that Jesus is the son of God, is anti-christ. Deal with it. Islam the religion of satan and mohammed is a false prophet. You know it. |

Muslims: Islam is not a religion, its a way of life Christians: Christianity is not a religion, its a personal relationship with christ. Me: You both are drunk |
