Religious scriptures were need of time because of the prevailing circumstances than, during the passage of time some of the contents in this scriptures become redundant and have to be taken in the true sense of conditions prevailing today by the Church (Gay issues) and Mullahs (women’s right)
Prophet Mohammed has accepted in Quran that Jesus and Moses were the Prophets before him. So why the fight!!!
"Our Holy Books are full of quotes on Love & Brotherhood
Still we often fight in our neighborhoods
In the name of these Holy Books
In GOD we believe but about his words we don’t care"
That’s the difference Between a non-religious person, who doesn’t know what Belief feels like or is, to a religious person.
and also the Qu’ran- it has NEVER been change. its been kept the same evr since it was written. Whereas the bible has been changed billions of times, so you dont know if it true?
Although I’m a Christian, I actually think the comparison to Christianity is quite sound.
There’s no "proof," of course. Faith is not about "proof" at all, and people on R&S who constantly demand "proof" from theists are barking up entirely the wrong tree.
To Muslims he did exist. But even if he did is he someone of a good role model, someone to really follow. Many think not. and right.
He might have existed yes. His parents were arabian pagan worshippers. Muslims often complain of the "misconceptions" about their religion in the West, yet very few seem to know all that much about the true history of Islam and its founder, Muhammad. As a result, the biggest misconceptions about Islam are often those originating from (and sincerely believed by) Muslims themselves.
His life
-Mohammed took many wives – to many people thats adultery and not fair on his wife.
-Mohammed killed hundreds of Jews in his time.
-Mohammed did not know eher he was going after death, he was illiterate and relied on foreing interpreters to create the Koran.
-Mohammed looted inhabited land to gain his 72 virgins after death.
The desire to enjoy status and power is usually associated with good food, fancy clothing, monumental palaces, colorful guards, and indisputable authority. Do any of these indicators apply to Muhammad? A few glimpses of his life that may help answer this question follow.
Despite his responsibilities as a Prophet, a teacher, a statesman, and a judge, Muhammad used to milk his goat, mend his clothes, repair his shoes, help with the household work, and visit poor people when they got sick. He also helped his Companions to dig a defensive trench by moving sand with them. His life was an amazing model of simplicity and humbleness.
Muhammad’s followers loved him, respected him, and trusted him to an amazing degree. Yet he continued to emphasize that he should not be deified; only Allah was to be worshiped. His Companion Anas reported that there was no person whom they loved more than the Prophet Muhammad, yet when he came to them, they did not stand up for him because he hated their standing up for him as other people do with their great people.
Long before there was any prospect of success for Islam and at the outset of a long and painful era of torture, suffering, and persecution of Muhammad and his followers, he received an interesting offer. An envoy of the pagan leaders, `Utbah, came to him saying, "If you want money, we will collect enough money for you so that you will be the richest one of us. If you want leadership, we will take you as our leader and never decide on any matter without your approval. If you want a kingdom, we will crown you king over us…" Only one concession was required from Muhammad in return for that, to give up calling people to Islam and worshiping Allah alone without any partner. Wouldn’t this offer be tempting to one pursuing worldly benefit? Was Muhammad hesitant when the offer was made? Did he turn it down as a bargaining strategy leaving the door open for a better offer? He answered with some verses of the Qur’an: “In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Ha. Mim. A revelation from (Allah), the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful; a Book whereof the verses are explained in detail; a Qur’an in Arabic, for people who know, giving good news and warning, yet most of them turn away, so they do not listen." (Fussilat 41: 1-4) And he recited until verse 38.
On another occasion and in response to his uncle’s plea to stop calling people to Islam, Muhammad’s answer was as decisive and sincere: "I swear by the name of Allah, O Uncle, that if they place the sun in my right hand and the moon in my left hand in return for giving up this matter (calling people to Islam), I will never desist until either Allah makes it triumph or I perish defending it."
Muhammad and his few followers not only suffered from persecution for thirteen years, but the unbelievers even tried to kill Muhammad several times. On one occasion they attempted to kill him by dropping a large boulder on his head. Another time they poisoned his food. What could justify such a life of suffering and sacrifice even after he was fully triumphant over his adversaries? What could explain the humbleness and nobility that he demonstrated? Were they not due only with Allah’s help and not to his own genius? Are these the characteristics of a power-hungry or self-centered man?
If you have actually read the Qur’an you will see that Muhammed,"May Allah bless him and grant him peace." was not A LIAR but was, amongst many things, a philospher, diplomat, orator, and of course a Prophet of God. They know these things because they have studied the life of their prophet and founder of Islam.
"Proof" is not the right word in such issues. However, Muslims consider Quran as the word of God that encourages them to not believe in anything unless they verify it for themselves, which is not the case in many other faiths.
"You shall not accept any information, unless you verify it for
yourself. I have given you the hearing, the eyesight, and the
brain, and you are responsible for using them." Quran (17:36)
When Muhammed teaches his followers to deeply think about things before accepting them, then it is normal for the followers to believe in Muhammed as a true prophet and not just someone look for power.
002.023 -And if you are in doubt about what We have sent down upon Our Servant [Muْammad], then produce a surah the like thereof and call upon your witnesses other than Allah , if you should be truthful.
002.024-But if you do not – and you will never be able to – then fear the Fire, whose fuel is men and stones, prepared for the disbelievers.

God challenge you to produce a book like the Quran and to claim that you are prophet of god and he give you a book and if any one believe you that’s mean the Quran is fake
As for Power he was offered power and richness, but he strongly refused.
He preferred to eat like the poor and many time he never had food to eat
He also died having nothing to give away.
He refused to pass down the matter to his relatives.
etc etc
I think you should read Mohammad’s Biography from an ind pendant sources and judge for yourself.
even if you read stories of some of high esteemed followers you will be amazed to how the disciples followed their master.

None really, other than the Qu’ran, which I guess is why they have faith. You could equally apply this question to Jesus and Christians.
