Muhammad refer to the prophet of Islam. you also will hear people their name is ISA (Jesus) or any other prophet Name. as they believe no prophet is any mean part of God and all prophets are human beings. \n\nHussein is the grandson of Muhammad. and mostly Muslims-Shia use this name the most. because in some part of a history they were close to Hussein and follow alot of his teaching.

Here are the reasons why I believe Muhammad PBUH was a prophet, and hence, why Islam to me is the truth.\n\n1-Just as Jesus performed some miracles, so did Muhammad PBUH. There is not a miracle performed by previous prophets that Muhammad PBUH didn't do; not only this, but he even surpassed those miracles (he split the moon into two and reassambled it [there are traces of this on the moon now!], he revived the dead, cured the sick, predicted the future, even ascended to the heavens, made a tree speak and come to him, broke rocks by just touching them...). Of course, all of these miracles are only done by God's will, and not Muhammad's actual powers. \n\n2-Please dont be offended by this, but while the Bible has been subject to many alterations (from misinterpretations, mistranslations, corrupt men...), the Qur'an has been preserved to the letter. How you might ask? \na- We have one of the oldest copies of the Qur'an that dates to 12 yrs after the Prophet's death - and that s only because previous copies have all been burned to make one official copy, of course after rigorous checking. \nb- Second, the arabs at that time came from a background known for their memorization of poetry (it was like the media, back then, to them), geneologies, and legends. The whole Qur'an was memorized by a large majority of the Muslims, which helped cross-check and preserve any alterations that could have been made to the written copies. \nc- Third, the Qur'an contains many scientific truths & predictions of the future which I will not go into detail. I'll just give you two examples: it says that God is still expanding the universe (which only recently has been proven to be true) and it states that the lowest part of the earth is at the Dead sea shore (which is also true! one would have to have checked the entire earth to guess this correctly). It is the numerous occurrences of such specifically worded truths that makes it only possible for the Qur'an to have been written by none other than God (mathematically speaking, there are more than 25 of these truths. so to be able to guess them correctly, one would have to have 1 in a 100 million chance of being right about every guess! (1/2)^25). \nd- Muhammad PBUH was illiterate, and in fact, thats one of the reasons why he was called a mad man and a sorcerer. His people couldnt find an explanation as to how he could come up with this amazing Qur'an when he didnt even know how to read or write!\ne- Finally, the Qur'an is a unique and unparalleled achievement of the arabic language. Even the most fluent poets of 7th century arabia failed to duplicate just one single chapter (just 3 verses!), and mind you, they were masters of their language! That's what they took pride in, but they were dumbfounded by the beautiful verses of the Qur'an, so much that even the disbelievers who persecuted the Muslims during the day, would creep at night, hiding, ashamed of being seen by one another, just to listen to Muslims reciting the Qur'an.\n\n3-The character of prophet Muhammad PBUH is the greatest proof. There are just so many delightful stories about him; unfortunately, they have been overshadowed by non-Muslims' uninformed comments about his actions. Demonstrating Muhammad's excellent character to you would just take forever, so i guess this will have to do. The fact that outsiders keep on misinterpreting and altering things about Islam strengthens my faith all the more, for i have yet to see something which I have not been able to answer (for myself at least). and that's thanks to God\n\n4- THIS POINT YOU DO NOT HAVE TO READ IF YOUR QUESTION ONLY SOUGHT A JUSTIFICATION BASED ON ISLAM ITSELF, NOT ISLAM COMPARED TO OTHER RELIGIONS.\n\nAgain, no offense, but Islam, to me, seems the most logical religion when compared with Judaism and Christianity. Since you're a Christian, i'll just state, respectfully, the major things I disagree with re

Jesus(pbuh) is a highly respected Prophet in Islam.  \n\n10 brief points Christians\nshould know about Muslims and Jesus\nBy Sound Vision Staff Writer\n\n   1. Muslims love Jesus. We also love Abraham, Moses, and Noah, to name just a few other Prophets Muslims revere. May God's peace be upon all of these great messengers of God.\n   2. Muslims also love the mother of Jesus, the Virgin Mary. We believe she was a pious and noble woman chosen over all of the women of the world.\n   3. Muslims believe that Jesus was born miraculously of a virgin mother and no father. His birth is miraculous like the birth of Adam, the first human being, who was created with neither mother nor father.\n   4. Muslims do not believe that Jesus was the son of God. God is so powerful and self-sufficient that He does not need a son or any kind of partner.\n   5. In Arabic Bible the name for God is Allah. Therefore all Arab Christian call God Allah as Muslim do as well.\n   6. Jesus did not die on the cross. Rather, God saved  him as his enemies were confused about him. Jesus was taken up by God to Heaven.\n   7. Jesus is called Isa (pronounced Eesa) in Arabic.\n   8. Jesus performed miracles by the Will of God, like healing the blind and those with leprosy.\n   9. Jesus prayed to the same God as all Prophets and we pray to.\n  10. Jesus will return before the end of the world.

Aaron (Harun) pbuh is surely a prophet of Islam.\n Allah says in the Quraan,(to Musa as) "Go to fir`aun, surely he has exceeded (all)bounds. He (Musa as) said "My Lord!Expand for me my breast, and ease for me my affair, and loose a knot from my tongue, that they may understand my word, and appoint from me a minister from my household, Harun, my brother;confirm my strength by him, and assosiate him in my affair, so that we may glorify You much, and remember You much. Surely You are ever seeing us" He (Allah) said: "you are indeed granted your petiton Oh Musa...' (Ta Ha, 20:24-36)\n\nand: Go both of you to Firaun, surely he has exceeded all bounds. Yet speak to him a gentle word, that perchance he may be admonished, or may fear." The two said: "Our Lord! We fear that he may hasten against us or that he may be inordinate. He (Allah) said "Fear not. Surely I shall be with you both, hearing and seeing. So go to him, and say, 'surely we are two Messengers of your Lord, so send forth the children of Isra'el with us and chastise them not. Indeed we have braught you a sign from your Lord; and peace be upon him who follows the guidance...!" ( Ta Ha, 20:43-47)\n\nThese are just two of the many verses of the Quraan that give us clear proof that Harun (as) was made a messenger as well. \n\nMoses(pbuh) had a stutter. This is one of the reasons that He asked Allah to make Harun as a prophet as well so that he could assist him with his work of preaching Islam. Allah granted Musa as his wish as He (Allah) says "you are indeed granted your petiton Oh Musa"\n\nand in another verse in the same Chapter or Surah  "So go to him, and say, 'surely we are two Messengers of your Lord"\n\nI know this is not part of your question part its a good point to bring up--\nThe second verse is a challenge to those who say that we muslims are commanded in the Quraan to kill anyone that is not a muslim and that we are to force feed Islam to the non-muslims.\nGo both of you to Firaun, surely he has exceeded all bounds. Yet speak to him a gentle word,....."\n\nI really do hope that your question has been answered and have a better understanding now(And Allah knows best)

Osama IS NOT the leader of Islam he is a radical terrorist who uses and manipulates the teaching of the Quran to promote his own political agenda. Islam preaches peace and submission. I was raised Cristian and and Converted. I was very ignorant before I picked up a Quran myself and read it. Please do not fall into the trap of believing only what you hear and see from the Media. I have many reason to back everything up and if you want a personal discussion about this I would love to IM.

He is kana dajjal and kafir. He is fooling muslims with his arabic. \n\nEven if Arabic people curse you, you gonna say they are reading quran. Even if he kills more muslims you will see the non muslims he has killed. \n\nWether he is real or fake, La'nat upon him. He will burn in hell.

The problem with Muslims is that you hold to the word of one prophet and ignore the rest. Great prophets in the Old Testament prophesied many times of the coming King and how He would suffer to heal His people. I judge a prophet by his message. That message has to be consistent with all the previous messages from God. Mohammad's message is out of sync. It doesn't teach that blood must be shed to gain forgiveness of sin as both the Old and the New Testaments do. You deny Christ's position. Out of His own mouth He claimed to be the I AM God that spoke to Moses from the burning bush. Adam and Eve Died the day they sinned. They lost the presence of God in their lives and physical death followed. Now God is restored in the Lives of the Christian Gos walk with us in our daily walk before Him. We are alive Spiritually again. We still carry with us the body of sin that is subject to physical death. When it is gone our spirits go to the Father who created them and so we are ever with the Lord. I don't know as you can understand the two deaths physical and spiritual because I don't know your teaching that well. All I need to know about Islam is that you deny that Jesus is God. That tells me that your religion is closer to a cult than it is to God...   Jim

Muslims believe that they memorise ABRAHAM, forefather of Prophet Mohammad, and all Israelite prophets.  Abraham tried to offer scarifice of his son.  (Ishmail as muslims believe)

many many proooooooooooofs\n\ni can give you 12 proofs from a site\n\n1. Muhammad (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him) was raised illiterate, unable to read or write, and remained like that till his death. Among all his people, he was known as being truthful and trustworthy. Before receiving revelation, he had no prior knowledge of Religion or any previously sent Message. He remained like that for his first forty years. Revelation then came to Muhammad with the Koran that we now have between our hands. This Koran mentioned most of the accounts found in the previous scriptures, telling us about these events in the greatest detail as if he witnessed them. These accounts came precisely as they were found in the Torah sent down to Moses and in the Gospel sent down to Jesus. Neither the Jews or Christians were able to belie him regarding anything that he said. \n\n2. Muhammad (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him) also foretold of everything that would occur to him and his community after him, pertaining to victory, the removal of the tyrannical kingdoms of Chosroes [the royal title for the Zoroastrian kings of Persia] and Caesar, and the establishment of the religion of Islam throughout the earth. These events occurred exactly as Muhammad foretold, as if he was reading the future from an open book. \n\n3. Muhammad (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him) also brought an Arabic Koran that is the peak of eloquence and clarity. The Koran challenged those eloquent and fluent Arabs of his time, who initially belied him, to bring forth a single chapter like the Koran. The eloquent Arabs of his day were unable to contest this Koran. \n\nIndeed, till our day, none has ever dared to claim that he has been able to compose words that equal-or even approach-the order, grace, beauty, and splendor of this Glorious Koran. \n\n4. The life history of this Noble Prophet was a perfect example of being upright, merciful, compassionate, truthful, brave, generous, distant from all evil character, and ascetic in all worldly matters, while striving solely for the reward of the Hereafter. Moreover, in all his actions and dealings, he was ever mindful and fearful of Allah. \n\n5. Allah instilled great love for Muhammad (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him) in the hearts of all who believed in and met him. This love reached such a degree that any of his companions would willingly sacrifice his (or her) self, mother or father for him. \n\nTill today, those who believe in Muhammad honor and love him. Anyone of those who believe in him would ransom his own family and wealth to see him, even if but once. \n\n6. All of history has not preserved the biography of any person in the manner it has preserved the life of Muhammad, who is the most influential human in history. \n\nNor has the entire earth known of anyone whom every morning and evening, and many times thereafter throughout the day, is thought of by those who believe in him. Upon remembering Muhammad, the believers in him will greet him and ask Allah to bless him. They do such with full hearts and true love for him. \n\n7. Nor has there every been a man on earth whom is still followed in all his doings by those who believe in him. \n\nThose who believe in Muhammad, sleep in the manner he slept; purify themselves (through ablution and ritual washing) in the manner he purified himself; and adhere to his practice in the way they eat, drink, and clothe themselves. \n\nIndeed in all aspects of their lives, the believers in Muhammad adhere to the teachings he spread among them and the path that he traveled upon during his life. \n\nDuring every generation, from his day till our time, the believers in this Noble Prophet have fully adhered to his teachings. With some, this has reached the degree that they desire to follow and adhere to the Prophet's way in his personal matters regarding which Allah has not sought of them to adhere to in worship. For example, some w

Even dead for almost one and a half millenia, the prophet Muhammad ibn Abdullah (founder of Islam) is the most politically influential and respected Muslim today. His sayings and advice on how to live life, even independent of what the Angel Gabriel is supposed to have relayed through him into the Koran directly, are respected enough to be considered law in Muslim states, and as a substantial fraction of the Islamic religion, Muhammad's contributions are quite influential in all states of the world.

First of all, everyone should be quite precise and not insulting in answering this question....Allah is the name for God in The Islamic Religion. Mohammed was the first prophet, who was visited by angel Gabriel and he told him about the "Qu'ran" :the teachings and tenets of being a muslim. Later on Mohhammed married a rich widow and that helped to communicate the word. When he fled from Mecca "the sacred city", the holy words began to influence the people....and teach them about the "5 Pillars of Islam" and the tenets. When Mohammed died, Ali took his place and continued to preach the word. Later on there were three major sects: The Sunni, Sufi and Sh'ite: they had major differences about "Orthopraxy" and "Orthodoxy".....Oh and no, i dont think Allah knew about the future.

a great man and a prophet of God that if people truly live by his example this world will be a much much better world.\n\nhttp://www.amazon.com/Muhammad-Life-Based-Earliest-Sources/dp/0892811706/ref=pd_sxp_grid_i_2_0/104-3017691-6887937\n\nthis is one of the best books written in English and the author is a non Muslim.\n----\nedit: wanna comment on secular's answer!!\n\nwe don't see the Prophet as a supernatural person, in fact he never claimed divinity and ALWAYS referred to him as a slave of God and a human being like every body else.\nso no we don't think he was a divine, we just know he was an example of what a human being should be like. that's all.
