ok for exmaple. Abraham that's his name in all langauges, Moses is the same name in all languages. Muhammad has his name in all langauge. then why don't you call "Jesus" with his real name? \n\nalso i found the word "comforter" has completly different name in the Arabic Bible which called "Al-Moues"

Greetings,\n   Of course you are correct in the bible there are many verses concerned with there being false prophets sent into the world to confuse and delude christians from the true religion.\n   NOW scince you are going into the wrong book a question begs to be answered and that is;How can they say that mohammed is the brother of Jesus Christ when he(mohammed) was born nearly 400 years later after Jesus died and was not from the same family tree as Jesus?\n   You need to get back to the true religion and start trying to show your friends that going into abuilding and blowing up little babies and women that are just trying to survive is totally wrong and that Jesus never remotely tried to get his followers to do any such thing but admonished His believers to love their enemies.

Well, first, Jesus was Jewish...he was NOT Christian.\nSecondly, there is little information available about the historical Jesus - most of what we know is from the writings of others about what Jesus said and taught (again, all within the context of Jewish learning).\n\nregarding "mussulman", I assume you mean Muslim?\nLeast we forget, Abraham and Sarah had two children - Issac and Ishmael (actually, Ishmael was born to Hagar, the handmaid of Sarah).\nBecause of the problems between the two women, Abraham sent Hagar and Ishmael away, but God blessed them as well as the people of Israel.\nIshmael became the family linage to the Islamic faith.\nNow, back to Jesus and whether you will enter heaven if you are/are not Christian: remember, Jesus was Jewish and Jewish faith teachs that all will be blessed in the next world as long as we do acts of loving kindness in the here and now, regardless of what our faith is.\nNow, in my book, THAT is the real grace of God.\nAnd now, you know the rest of the story.

I think that the word "Name", you may be taking too literally.  By name, I do believe it would mean God.  Like using your name, means you, not your name.  Your name is who you are, and we call God, GOD, even Christ or Jesus to some, and by those names, we mean God, or Jesus.

In the translation of my copy of the Bible, they state flat-out that they do this out of respect for people (including the Jews, whose scripture they are translating) who might feel offended seeing the Name of God in print to potentially be abused.  They add that where the proper name of God is used, they translated it to LORD, all caps, while "The Lord" was translated to a normal proper noun.

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]

Fact # 1\nAllah is the Arabic name for God. All Arabs, not only Muslims, call God Allah.\n\nFact # 2\nQuraish people believe in God (they call God Allah because they are Arabs). They used to worship statues as their minds would not go beyond the 5 senses at that time (just like people of Abraham). They worship statues (Al-Lat, Al-Uzza, and Manat) as they thought those seen statues will be a medium between them and the invisible God.\n\nFact # 3\nAl-Lat, Al-Uzza, and Manat are feminine names. (Arabic is like French, there are feminine names and masculine names).\n\nFact # 4\nBeofre Islam, baby girls was to be buried alive as they see it an issue of pride & honor to have only boys not girls.\n\nFact # 5\nThe Arabic word ("Banat") has 2 meanings; it means girls, and also means daughters. The context of verses where these 3 idols mentined in Quran indicate girls not daughters.\n\nSo the meaning of verses where (Banat) was mentioned is that:\nYou pagan Arabs, you bury your daughters because you think they bring you shame, and you don't want any for yourselves except boys, then you give feminine names for the idols you worship who you think will carry your good deeds to God. So it's a kind of objection from God for this unjust division (from pagan Arabs perspective).\n\nP.S. Abdullah, is same as Abdu Allah, which means God worshipper. pagan Arabs believe in Allah, but they were polytheist and takes idols as representitives for God.

It's not exactly wrong to call the Almighty by the impersonal "God", just as it's not wrong to call one's offspring "Child". If we want a familiar and close relationship, however, it makes sense to use the personal name of someone we love.\n\nThe Hebrew name “Yahweh” (or “Yehowah”) does seem to accurately pronounce the divine name. Just as the Hebrew name “Yeshua” (or “Yehoshua”) is translated into “Jesus” in English, the Hebrew name “Yahweh” is translated into “Jehovah” in English. \n\nSome argumentative persons will argue that the Hebrew name “Yahweh” must only be translated into English as “I am what I am”. Yet such troublemakers fail to explain why they do not translate the Hebrew name “Yeshua” into English as “Jehovah is Salvation” or “I am what I am is Salvation”, which of course their small-minded literalism must surely require with regard to the name we know as “Jesus”.\n\nThe important thing is to use God’s personal name in whatever language you speak, rather than insisting upon the impersonal! The name “Yahweh” is certainly preferable to the non-name “God”.\n\nPs 83:18 That people may know that you, whose name is Jehovah, You alone are the Most High over all the earth

The term "Allah" simply means "the [one] god", implying a single Almighty deity reminiscient of the Judeo-Christian "Yahweh" / "Jehovah". However, it is significant that "Allah" is clearly NOT a personal name, while the Hebrew Tetragrammaton clearly *IS* a personal name for Almighty God.\n\nIt's not exactly wrong to call the Almighty by the impersonal "God", just as it's not wrong to call one's offspring "Child". Faithful men of the Holy Scriptures used both "God" and a form of "Jehovah" when they referred to and addressed the Almighty. However, the term "Allah" seems intended specifically to reject Judeo-Christian spiritual heritage.\n\nIf we want a familiar and close relationship, it makes sense to use the personal name of someone we love. The Scriptures encourage us to use God's personal name.\n\nThe Hebrew name “Yahweh” (or “Yehowah”) does seem to accurately pronounce the divine name. Just as the Hebrew name “Yeshua” (or “Yehoshua”) is translated into “Jesus” in English, the Hebrew name “Yahweh” is translated into “Jehovah” in English.\n\nThe important thing is to use God’s personal name in whatever language you speak, rather than insisting upon the impersonal! The name “Yahweh” is certainly preferable to the non-name “God” or “Lord”, especially if you speak Hebrew. If you speak English, feel free to use the name "Jehovah".\n\n(Psalms 83:18) That people may know that you, whose name is Jehovah, You alone are the Most High over all the earth\n\n(John 17:26) [Jesus said] I have made your name known to them and will make it known, in order that the love with which you loved me may be in them\n\nLearn more:\nhttp://watchtower.org/library/na/index.htm\nhttp://watchtower.org/e/na/

The Jews call `Uzair a son of Allah, and the Christians call Christ the son of Allah.... ....This phrase comes directly from Koran. It is obviuos that Mohamad wrote the Koran, not God. the Jews means all jews, just like the christians means all christians. I dont think God made such a big mistake....Koran never said some of the Jews, or some of the Christians. He clearly meant ALL.....

Muhammad (ca. 570–632 CE) (Arabic محمد) also transliterated Mohammad, Mohammed, Muhammed, and sometimes Mahomet (Latin Mahometus), following the Latin or Turkish), is believed by mainstream Muslims to be God's final prophet sent to guide mankind with the message of Islam. He is referred to as "The Prophet" (in Arabic النبي) within the faith. Non-Muslims generally consider him to be the founder of Islam.\n\nAccording to traditional Muslim biographers, he was born ca. 570 in Mecca (Makkah) and passed away June 8, 632 in Medina (Madinah). Both Mecca and Medina are cities in the Hejaz region of present day Saudi Arabia. The name Muhammad means "the praised one" in Arabic.\n\nBorn Muhammad ibn Abdullah, he is said to have been a merchant who traveled widely. Muslims believe that in 610, at about the age of forty, while praying in a cave called Hira near Mecca, he was visited by the Angel Gabriel. Later, he described the experience (to those close to him), and that the angel had commanded him to memorize and recite the verses sent by God which were later collected as part of the Qur'an. Gabriel told him that God (Allah in Arabic) had chosen him as the last of the prophets to mankind. He eventually expanded his mission as a prophet, publicly preaching a strict monotheism and warning against a Day of Judgement where all humans shall be held responsible for their deeds. He did not completely reject Judaism and Christianity, two other monotheistic faiths known to the Arabs; rather he said that he had been sent by God in order to complete and perfect their teachings. Many of his neighbors resented his preaching, and persecuted Muhammad and his followers. In 622, he was forced to flee from Mecca and settled in Yathrib (now known as Medina) with his followers, where he was the leader of the first avowedly Muslim community. War between factions in Mecca and Medina followed, in which Muhammad and his followers were eventually victorious. The military organization honed in this struggle was then set to conquering the other tribes of Arabia. By the time of Muhammad's death, he had unified Arabia, spread Islam throughout the Arab Peninsula, and launched expeditions to the north, towards Syria and Palestine.\n\nUnder Muhammad's immediate successors, the Islamic empire expanded into Palestine, Syria, Mesopotamia, Persia, Egypt, North Africa, and Iberia. Later conquests, commercial contact between Muslims and non-Muslims, and missionary activity spread Islam over much of the globe.\n\nThe sources available about Muhammad's life are the Qur'an, the sira biographies, and the hadith collections. While the Qur'an is not a biography of Muhammad, it does provide some information about his life. The earliest surviving biographies are the Life of the Apostle of God, by Ibn Ishaq (d. 768), edited by Ibn Hisham (d. 833); and al-Waqidi's (d. 822) biography of Muhammad. Ibn Ishaq wrote his biography some 120 to 130 years after Muhammad's death. The third source, the hadith collections, like the Qur'an, are not a biography per se. In both the Sunni and Shia belief, they are the accounts of the verbal and physical traditions of Muhammad.\n\nSome skeptical scholars (Wansbrough, Cook, Crone, and others) have raised doubts about the reliability of these sources, especially the hadith collections. They argue that by the time the oral traditions were being collected, the Muslim community had fractured into rival sects and schools of thought. Each sect and school had its own sometimes conflicting traditions of what Muhammad and his companions had done and said. Traditions multiplied, and Muslim scholars made a strenuous effort to weed out what they felt were spurious stories. Traditionalists rely on their efforts while the skeptics feel that the question must be revisited.\n\nMuslim and non-Muslim scholars alike agree that there are some inauthentic traditions concerning the life of Muhammad in th

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."

Jesus (pbuh) teachings were exactly the same as Muhammad(pbuh) , they called for the same God which is ONE and Almighty. Jesus and Muhammad both were Holy prophets But Alas !!! Sait Paul has changed the whole concept of christanity and its totaly different now .And they did more damage to their religion by changing Bible hundred of times. there are number of confusions in their religion but wish they admit and seek for the truth. May Allah guide all of us Ameen !!!

I expect it would have to be a name from the most populated country n the world which is China, I believe. Therefore names such as John are probably not in the running unless you are referring only to the English speaking and western world. Some sites say that Muhammad is the most common name in the world. \n\nI hope this helps.

As you may have already read here, Muslims consider Jesus as a prophet of God. They call his "Isa". Quran acknowledges he has performed miracles to convince his people he was indeed the prophet of God. But it also states that Jesus will deny he has asked people to worship him on the day of Judgment.\n\nSee some of my other answers\nWhy do Muslims says Jesus Christ is a prophet?Does Mohammed have a record of miracles he has done on earth? \nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/?qid=1006013010601\nDoes the Koran say anything about Jesus? \nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/?qid=1006012004182\nShould Christians believe in Mohammed? \nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/?qid=1006013106005\n\nRegarding sin, Islam do not recognise concept of orginal sin in which everyone is born in sin. Sincere repentance is required for forgiving of sins. Animal sacrifice in islam is not directly related to sin forgiveness, but is usually performed related to Eid_al-Adha(See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eid_al-Adha )

Gabriel is the name that is used in both texts. Gabriel is the Judeo-Christian-Islamic angel of communication (the messanger) so it seems Gabriel is always doing his part. He communicated to Mary and he communicated to Mohammad. The same name is used, although Christianity and Islam may disagree about whether it is the same angel (and Jews may disagree as well). Gabriel does get mentioned quite a few times in the Bible and Koran, though....every time, though, as a messenger of God.
