In Islam christ is not considered to be the son of god and it is "Haram"  or blasphemious to announce this.  So why in some Mosque's around the world is Muhammed's name  displayed alongside that of Allah.....Is this not blasphemious also???????

coz Muhammed(p.b.u.h) is not dispayed as son of Allah but the last messanger of Allah and supposed to be the dearest one....Jesus is said to be SON of God but gon is neither son or nor him has a son  so the theory proves where as Muhammed(pbuh) was the last messanger sent by Allah for the guidence of human and to teach them do and donts \n\nits not correct what u r saying if u know islam its always says there is only one God that is Allah and Muhammed(phuh) is his messanger.... thats why his name comes beside allah

Well I think its a shame what both religions are saying about each other i have argued with so called Christians about calling Muhammad a pedophile many times here on answers...It is debatable the age of Aisha and the culture and times would not have made him a pedophile. It gets ugly while i was trying to defend Muslims they were posting sites that absolutely lied about God and Christians and the Bible so it cuts both ways. As a Christian I am more offended by folks calling themselves Christians and acting inappropriately...but such is the way of the world I guess.

Why, yes, I did know that.  But, that also makes your question somewhat meaningless:  I could just as easily ask of you, 'Your Allah is called God.  Why don't you worship Him Alone?'  See how that changes exactly nothing about the actual theological differences we have?  :)

hey all, \nI wanna tell u something that most people don't know 'bout Allah 'n' Jesus.\nthey're existing....... how?\n*muslims believe in allah as god for them\n*christians believe in Jesus as god for them\n*muslims believe in Jesus as messenger \n**In islam, the one who doesn't believe in Allah and Prophet Mohammed also Jesus(Issa) is not a muslim...\nalso the one who doesn't believe in Koran, Gospel and Torah is not a muslim.\nIn general, we're not here to fighting each other... we're here to talking in reasonable way.

Thank you for sharing this event. I was touched by your experience.\n\nI have come across the life-stories of many Muslims in particular who saw visions of Jesus Christ, and ultimately committed their lives to Christ.\n\nMany people from other religions as well are coming to Christ (some through such visions).\n\nE.g., see \nhttp://www.godsci.org/gs/chri/testimony/00.html\n\nCordially,\nJohn

GOOD QUESTION\n\nbecause, we invite you to believe in true teachings of Jesus. \n\nJesus never said "I am God", "worship me" or "i have come to die for the sins of mankind".\n\nsecondly,, yes we believe that all the prophets including jesus pbuh were sinless .\n\nand marrying is not a sin. several prophets of God get married.  We also believe that Jesus never murdered any innocent, never owned slaves, never made fun of black people. so as Prophet Muhammad pbuh.. read the truth about Muhammad pbuh >> www.muhammad.net\n\nbeing involve in politics is not bad or sin. although its beneficial for the mankind. and Islam includes the teachings of politics. and social justice. \n\nlet me clarify you one thing.. we dont worship KAABA.\n\nKaaba is the Qibla i.e. the direction Muslims face during their prayers. It is important to note that though Muslims face the Kaaba during prayers, they do not worship the Kaaba. Muslims worship and bow to none but Allah.\n\nIt is mentioned in Surah Baqarah:\n\n"We see the turning of thy face (for guidance) to the heavens: now shall We turn thee to a Qiblah that shall please thee. Turn then thy face in the direction of the Sacred Mosque: wherever ye are, turn your faces in that direction."           [Al-Qur’an 2:144] \n\n=====================\n\nYES AND ISLAM TOO SHUNS RACISM.\n\n"O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other.  Verily the most honoured of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you.  And Allah has full knowledge and is well-acquainted.  (The Noble Quran, 49:13)"\n\n\n================\n\nHOPE THIS ANSWERS.\n\n\nISLAM TAKES BACK US TO THE REAL JESUS WHOSE TEACHINGS ARE BEING INTERPOLATED WITH THE PASSAGE OF TIME.\n\n"And when God will say, `Jesus, son of Mary, didst thou say to men, `take me and my mother as gods, apart from God?' He will say, `Holy be Thou, it is not mine to say what I have no right to ; if I had said it, Thou wouldst have known it; Thou knowest what is in my mind, but I do not know what is in Thy mind; Thou art surely the All-knowing of the unseen things.  I did not say to them except what Thou didst command me: __ `serve God, my Lord and your Lord,' and I was a witness over them, so long as I remained among them; but when Thou didst take me, Thou Thyself wast the watcher over them; and Thou art a witness over all things.  (Quran 5:116-117)\n\n============================\n\nPEACE BE ON YOU\n\n\n\nEDIT >>>>>>>>>>>>>>\n****************************************\n\nXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX\n\nSIS, YOU SAID > "you are incorrect. Jesus did announce He is God "\n\n"There is not a single unequivocal statement in the entire Bible where Jesus (peace be upon him) himself says, "I am God" or where he says, "worship me".\n\nI challenge, you will not find any statement where Jesus pbuh HIMSELF said "i am God"... i dont consider what paul , john or other people who wrote books decades after Jesus pbuh. \n\n\n=================\n\nYes i already said that Jesus and Muhammad (peace be upon them both) never murdered any innocent people. The spread peace.  thats why we don't consider bible to be authentic. see below. \n\nMatthew 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth; I came not to send peace, but a sword. –Jesus, ..............................WE BELIEVE THAT JESUS CAME TO SPREAD PEACE.. I.E. ISLAM\n\nLuke 12:49-53  \nLuke 12:49  "I am come to send FIRE on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?\nLuke 12:50  But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!\nLuke 12:51  Suppose ye that I am come to give PEACE on earth? I tell you, NAY; but rather DIVISION." \nLuke 12:52 For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against t

Hey man I can't understand why could a person who claims that he is a muslim to hope the hell for others who are sharing the same relegion with him!!!!\nWell I'd to confirm that the true muslim will never call for destroying others...\nIslam is a relegion of peace which ask its follower to respect all people whatever their relegions,languages, gender...etc\nOn the other hand, if u r really a muslim, u must heard about the hadees of Prophet Muhammed(PBUH) which says that Allah (God) prefer to damage the Ka'ba(the holy mosque in Mecca)in stead of killing a muslim... \nSo I can't understand how u could hope murder for all arabs while they are muslim like u????

GREAT QUESTION (for once on this website)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!\n\n1st of all, the Koran recognizes Jesus Christ as a prophet, but not the messiah.  It is basically a continuation of the Torah and the Bible.  It's these extremist people who interpret the Koran wrong who attack us and stuff.\n\nI respect every other religion (although I am Christian).  I personally believe that God is whatever you think He is.  If you think He's a big white light, He is.   If you think He looks like a man, He does.\n\nI believe that NO religion is a lie.  I do realize though that all of these stories in the Torah, Bible, and Koran aren't always true.  The bible didn't just fall from space...people wrote it.  They wrote stories about good people who did good things.  THEY SET GOOD EXAMPLES!  Is it all coming together now?

Thanks for the question, friend. I am not a scholar about these, but I collected some info which may answer your question. Here they go:\n\n"The Messiah referred to is a Prophet of God who was prophesied by previous Prophets to correct people’s behavior, bring them close to Allah and help them spiritually. \n\nWe believe that Jesus, the Son of Mary, not the son of God, is the Messiah who was sent by Allah to the Israelites to bring them back to the right path, and to preach Allah’s Words. \nThus, Jesus, the Messiah, was an infallible man selected by Allah. He as born without a father by the power of the Words of Allah “Be and It is” \n\nThe Messiah has nothing to do apart from Allah’s (God's) Will. I hope this will enable you differentiate between the Prophet, the Messiah, and ordinary persons. We are neither Messiahs nor Prophets since we are fallible. Above all, we don’t have divine scriptures. We are supposed to implement the teachings of the Holy Books we have now, the last of which is the Qur’an; that is the only accepted one of these Divine Books. \n\nThus, if we act according to Allah’s Words and put the religion straight, then we shall have a better life and have a better place in the Hereafter. The core of the problem is that we are far away from Allah, and we constantly disobey Him. \n\nFinally, I would like to draw your attention to the fact that we should not exaggerate our position. We ought not to forget that we are required to be good people - not necessarily Messiahs - and all of us should behave in the way Allah wants us to."

Peace on you...Islam honors all the prophets who were sent to mankind. Muslims respect all prophets in general, but Jesus in particular, because he was one of the prophets who foretold the coming of Muhammad. Muslims, too, await the second coming of Jesus. They consider him one of the greatest of Allah's prophets to mankind. A Muslim does not refer to him simply as "Jesus," but normally adds the phrase "peace be upon him" as a sign of respect. \nNo other religion in the world respects and dignifies Jesus as Islam does. The Qur'an confirms his virgin birth (a chapter of the Qur'an is entitled "Mary"), and Mary is considered to have been one of the purest women in all creation. The Qur'an describes Jesus' birth as follows: \n\n"Behold!' the Angel said, God has chosen you, and purified you, and chosen you above the women of all nations. Mary, God gives you good news of a word from Him, whose name shall be the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, honored in this world and in the Hereafter, and one of those brought near to God. He shall speak to the people from his cradle and in maturity, and he shall be of the righteous. She said: "My Lord! How shall I have a son when no man has touched me?' \nHe said: "Even so; God creates what He will. When He decrees a thing, \nHe says to it, 'Be!' and it is." [3:42-47]\n\nMuslims believe that Jesus was born immaculately, and through the same power which had brought Eve to life and Adam into being without a father or a mother.\n\n"Truly, the likeness of Jesus with God is as the likeness of Adam. He created him of dust, and then said to him, 'Be!' and he was." [3:59]\n\nDuring his prophetic mission, Jesus performed many miracles. The Qur'an tells us that he said: \n\n"I have come to you with a sign from your Lord: I make for you out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, and breathe into it and it becomes a bird by God's leave. And I heal the blind, and the lepers, and I raise the dead by God's leave." [3:49]\n\nMuhammad and Jesus, as well as the other prophets, were sent to confirm the belief in one God. This is referred to in the Qur'an where Jesus is reported as saying that he came:\n\n"To attest the law which was before me, and to make lawful to you part of what was forbidden you; I have come to you with a sign from your Lord, so fear God and obey me." [3:50]\n\nProphet Muhammad emphasized the importance of Jesus by saying: \n"Whoever believes there is no god but Allah, alone without partner, that Muhammad is His messenger, that Jesus is a servant and messenger of God, His word breathed into Mary and a spirit emanating from Him, and that Paradise and Hell are true, shall be received by God into Heaven. [Bukhari]

It is a greater blasphemy to sin against God by killing in his name.  It literally gives the name of your God and your prophet a bad reputation among outsiders of your faith.  If these injustices were not done in the name of Allah and the Prophet, there would be little for cartoonists to make cartoons about!\n\nI am so happy to see you, a Muslim, making this point!  Thank you and I hope that you can get your message across to others in Islam and I hope that you can spread the message that terrorists are doing more harm to Islam than anything else.

.  In the name of Allah,Most Gracious Most Merciful\n SALAM\n          Sura 53 ,verse19..just before this verse .in this Sura Allah is telling us about the signs of of him which the Prophet Muhammad(peace be upon him) saw during his journey to heaven (this journey is called mayrrage in Islam) and every Muslim believes in it. Now in this verse from the heights of divine glory we come back again to this sorry earth,with its base idolatries.We are asked to"look at this picture(the signs of Allah)and at the later" The three principal idols of pagan Arab idolatry were the goddess"Lat" "Uzza",and"Manat".Basically if understood correctly it means that how can anyone deny the clear signs of Allah and worship idols like that.\n\n    the thing you have written under this verse\n\n   "THESE ARE THE EXALTED FEMALES\nMOUNTING NEARER AND NEARER TO ALLAH."\n\n i don't understand where this came from...its is not in the Quran anywhere,,neither in any book of prophet Muhammad(peace be upon him) sayings called HADITH...these lines are fabricated and have nothing to do with Allah ,his messenger(peace be upon him)and Islam.\n\nnow the Sura 16 ,,is called "Nahl" and the verse 103 reads as follows\n   "And We know well that they say: Only a man teacheth him. The speech of him at whom they falsely hint is outlandish, and this is clear Arabic speech."\n    I challenge you to go check in any Quran in the world.You will find that I am telling the truth..PLEASE GIVE THE RIGHT REFERENCE ,,,and I will try my best to answer your question.\n\nsura 22,verse 50-52\n\nProphets and messengers are but humans.Their actions are righteous and their motives are pure,but in judging things from a human point of view,the suggestions may come to their mind (from satan) that it would be good to have power or wealth or influence for furthering Allah's cause,or that it may be good to conciliate some faction which may be irreconcilable.In fact.in Allah's plan,it may be opposite.Allah ., in his mercy and inspiration,will cancel any false or vein suggestions of this kind,and confirm and strengthen His own Commands and make known His will in his signs or revelations.

There is not a single unequivocal statement in the entire Bible where Jesus (peace be upon him) himself says, "I am God" or where he says, "worship me".\n\n[Mark 12:29] "Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord." \n\nSame message is repeated in the Glorious Quran in \n"Say: He is Allah,  The One and Only. "\n[Al-Qur’an 112:1]\n\nWhy did jesus pbuh said in mark 12:29 that '...the lord   OUR   god is one lord'. Why didn't he said that lord    YOUR    god is one lord. It means that one lord is also the lord of jesus pbuh.\n\nAlso in John 20:17, Jesus told Mary Magdalene to tell his followers: "I ascend unto my Father and your Father and to my God and your God". By referring to God as "his God", he left no room for anyone to claim that he was God. Anyone who claims to have a God, cannot be God.\n\n"Indeed they reject the truth, those that say "God is Christ, the son of Mary." For indeed, Christ said, worship God, who is my God and your God (Quran 5:75)."\n\nQuran speaks about positive image of Jesus... we muslims love Jesus.. be we donot believe that He is God. because There is only One God....please contact me at taimur_1984 if you have any more questions regarding islam. \n www.islamtomorrow.com

Interesting question.\n\nWhat I find strange is that people can blaspheme "Jesus" in books, films, TV, etc.  \n\nBut no-one ever blasphemes "Mohammad" on these mediums and if they did they'd get a kicking.  Seems a bit unfair to me, especially since Christians believe Jesus was on a par with God the Father and Mohammad is just believed to be Allah's sacred prophet (but not on par with God).\n\nAlso in the UK, we bend over backwards to allow Muslim to have their own schools, information in their language, rights to wear their attire in workplaces.  Whereas people who become christians in some muslim countries (eg Saudia Arabia) are denied jobs or imprisoned or tortured (see Open Doors website http://sb.od.org)\n\nIs it simply that Muslims are more intolerant whereas Christians forgive?\n\nPlease don't get me wrong - we should respect each others beliefs (even if we don't agree) - but there must be equality!

The only One worthy of any type of worship in Islam is God. The Prophet Muhammad made sure that the believers understood this, and laid such laws from not depicting any prophet or creating statues of them, to declaring in the testament of faith that, in translation, There is only one God and He is God, Muhammad was his messenger. This prevented anyone from turning him into a god or a part of God.\nThis is pretty much the only major difference between Islam and Christianity, as Christians worship Jesus as God or as a part of God, while in Islam, it is forbidden for anyone or thing other than God to be worshipped.

First of all the quran isn't holy because Muhammed was a false prophet!\n\nThe Real God would not tell His Prophet to have sexual intercourse at 54 years of age with a nine year old Child!\n\nThis is called "Child Molesting"!\n\nhttp://www.geocities.com/AntiJihad/mo_pedo.html\n\nThe teachings of Muhammed cannot stand up against God's Word!\n\nProverbs 21:30\nThere is no wisdom, no insight, no plan that can succeed against the LORD!\n\nMay peace be upon you as you are enlightened to the "Truth"!

I am muslim and I live in an Islamic country actually a very little number of muslims do that. and believe me the beard has never been a sign of being muslim or not.  Some muslims just do it to show that they are more religious as Prophet Muhamed said and this is called (Sunnah)  . All what matters in Islam is to believe that Allah is the only God and that Muhammed is his prophet and also to believe that The Holly Quran is the word of God.
