Of course prophet MOHAMED PBUH was a Prophet and the last messenger of ALAH(GOD).\nand he did predict things like the falling of the Roman and persians impires,but that is not the proof that he (PBUH) was a prophet ,also prediction is not the only proof that ISA(Jesus)PUH was prophet,\nIBRAHIM PUH,MOSES PUH,NOAH PUH,...and a lot of other prophets did not predict,but they r still prophets of ALAH.\nPrediction was a miracle that ALAH gave to ISA(Jesus PUH)along with other miracles,like heeling CERTAIN kinds of deseases,also other Prophets had different kinds of miracles like MOSES PUH had his magic stick,and SOLAIMAN PUH had the wind and the birds and other things under his control ,\nall these and others were miracles that ALAH supported his prophets with,to make it easier for ppl of these ancient days to beleive them(remember,at these ancient times ppl were more likely to beleive someone only if he have some supernatural capbility)\nunill MUHAMED PBUH came with the everlasting miracle which is the QURAN,which is a miracle that will stay till the end of the world,preserved from any changes or messing ,and this miracle speaks to the mind and logic of ppl,ALAH knew that humanity will advance and sciense will be so important,so he sent the Perfect Book,that could be understood in all times,and speaks to all types of minds,and thats the real Miracle of MUHAMED PBUH

You are free to believe that Mohammed (PBUH) was a prophet or not.\n\nBut there's a rule we should never forget in discussions.\n\nDISAGREEING WITH EACH OTHER DOESN'T MEAN NOT RESPECTING EACH OTHER. \n\nPeace be upon you all.

lets be reasonable about Muhammad(PBUH)\n\n\nwhy should a man at his position make something from nothing? \n\n1) if you think he invented Islam ... what did he gain? ... Money? Wealth? ... for you information when prophet Muhammad(PBUH) had rule over all the arabian peninsula he had no money at all or sometimes no food ... anything that he gain from money or food he gave to the poor ... he died with no money to pass by his family ... he was a man with no wealth goals in his life except delivering his message properly to all mankind ... anyone that is thinking to invent a religon he would ofcourse thought by being rich or gain a certain position in his life ... but prophet Muhammad(PBUH) was totally different ... and he didnt announce himself as a god or something ... in the Qur'an it mentions always that he is an honoured servant just like us\n\n"And they say, 'The Merciful has taken a son.' Glory is to Him. Rather, they are slaves, honored." (Al-Anbiya', 26) \n\n\n2) prophet Muhammad(PBUH) didnt know how to write or read through his life ... he was no poet or magician ... so how do you think that Qur'an was written in this high sophisticated language and that prophecy of it?\n\n\n\n3) our prophet splitted the moon into two halves and that was one of his mircales beside others ... and recently NASA found those marks of the splitted moon.\n\n\n\n4) our God and prophet are true ... our prophet came beleiving with all the messengers and prophets before him ... he didnt make a new religon or came with anything new ... we are just following the Abrahamic religon ... and Islam was a conclusion of all the religons including the Holy books religon.\n\n\n......... much more to be listed

I really don't know but that's something I certainly didn't know. Muhammad sounds like a noble Prophet. I learn that he was a Prophet from my Teacher in class about a month ago..

Jews never recognised JESUS as Messiah & Christans never recognised Muhammed as true prophet but Muslims recognised all the prophets of God.There are clear signs of his peophecy in bible but still they say he is not a prophet\nIsaiah's vision: \n\nIsaiah saw a vision of two riders. \n\n"And he saw a chariot [with] a couple of horsemen, a chariot of as-ses, [and] a chariot of camels .." (Isaiah 21:7) \n\nWho was the rider upon the as-s? Every Sunday school student will tell us that this was a prophecy of Jesus (peace be upon him), as stated in John: \n\n"And Jesus, when he had found a young as-s, sat thereon; as it is written," (John 12:14) \n\nbut who is the promised prophet who would ride the camel? If it is not Muhammad (peace be upon him) then this prophecy has yet to be fulfilled. Let us read on... \n\n"And, behold, here cometh a chariot of men, [with] a couple of horsemen. And he answered and said, Babylon is fallen, is fallen; and all the graven images of her gods he hath broken unto the ground." (Isaiah 21:9) \n\nBabylon did indeed fall before Islam and the Islamic nation under the guidance of Muhammad (peace be upon him) did indeed succeed in eradicating the worship of idols from Babylon replacing it with the worship of God alone. In fact, the Muslims were the only believers in the God of Isaiah to ever succeed in fulfilling this prophesy. \n\n"The burden upon Arabia ..." (Isaiah 21:13) \n\nWhat does the word "burden" mean? Let us ask the Scofield Study Bible: \n\n"…which also means an oracle is a word sometimes used in the prophetical writings to indicate a divine message of judgment" (Scofield Study Bible New King James Version, note 1, p. 792) \n\nSo the Muslims of Arabia (and subsequently Muslims everywhere) would be assigned the burden of God's message. \n\n"The inhabitants of the land of Tema brought water to him that was thirsty, they prevented with their bread him that fled. For they fled from the swords, from the drawn sword, and from the bent bow, and from the grievousness of war" (Isaiah 21:14-15) \n\nIn "The Dictionary of the Bible," bearing the Nihil Obstat, Imprimatur, and Imprimi Potest (official Church seals of approval), by John McKenzi, we read that "Tema" is: \n\n"a place name and tribal name of Arabia; a son of Ishmael.... The name survives in Teima, an oasis of the part of the Arabian desert called the Nefud in N Central Arabia." \n\nThis word, Tema, is the name of the ninth son of Ishmael (the father of the Arabs), in Genesis 25:13-15 we read: \n\n"And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations: the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebajoth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam, And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa, Hadar, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah" (Genesis 25:13-15). \n\nStrong's concordance tells us that this name was also applied to the land settled by Tema the son of Ishmael. It goes on to explain how this word is "probably of foreign derivation". Indeed, this word, Teima, is an Arabic word which means "Barren desert". It remains the name of a city in the Arabian peninsula just north of "Al-Madinah Al-Munawarah," or "Madinah" for short (Please see Map 1, page 491). Muhammad (peace be upon him) and his companions were given sanction to migrate. They departed Makkah during the night and left all of their possessions behind. Upon reaching Madinah they were greeted by its citizens with open arms and Muhammad (peace be upon him) assigned each one of the Muhajireen (citizens of Makkah) to one of the Ansar (citizens of Madinah) to house and feed them until they could strike out on their own. This became the first year of the Arab "Hijra" (Emigration) calendar used in Islamic countries to this day. \n\n"For thus hath the LORD said unto me, Within a year, according to the years of an

BIOGRAPHY OF PROPHET MUHAMMAD (pbuh)\n\nDr. A. Zahoor and Dr. Z. Haq\n(Copyright 1990, 1997, 1998 All Rights Reserved)\n\nProphet Muhammad (s) was born in 570 CE in Makkah (Bakka, Baca, Mecca). His father, Abdullah, died several weeks before his birth in Yathrib (Medinah) where he went to visit his father's maternal relatives. His mother died while on the return journey from Medinah at a place called ‘Abwa’ when he was six years old. He was raised by his paternal grandfather 'Abd al Muttalib (Shaybah) until the age of eight, and after his grandfather’s death by Abu Talib, his paternal uncle. 'Abd al Muttalib's mother, Salma, was a native of Medinah and he was born and raised as a young boy in Medinah before his uncle Muttalib brought him to Makkah to succeed him. Many years before Muhammad's birth, 'Abd al Muttalib had established himself as an influential leader of the Arab tribe ‘Quraish’ in Makkah and took care of the Holy sanctuary ‘Ka’bah’. Makkah was a city state well connected to the caravan routes to Syria and Egypt in the north and northwest and Yemen in the south. Muhammad was a descendant of Prophet Ismail through the lineage of his second son Kedar. \n\nKa'bah is the first house of worship built on earth for the worship of Allah, the One True God. It was re-built (raised from the existing foundation) by Prophets Ibrahim (Abraham) and Ismail (Ishmael). Allah is the proper name of the One True God, creator and sustainer of the universe, who does not have a partner or associate, and He did not beget nor was He begotten. Unlike the word god, the word Allah does not have a plural or gender. \n\nUnder the guardianship of Abu Talib, Muhammad (s) began to earn a living as a businessman and a trader. At the age of twelve, he accompanied Abu Talib with a merchant caravan as far as Bostra in Syria. Muhammad was popularly known as ‘al-Ameen’ for his unimpeachable character by the Makkans and visitors alike. The title Al-Ameen means the Honest, the Reliable and the Trustworthy, and it signified the highest standard of moral and public life. \n\nUpon hearing of Muhammad’s impressive credentials, Khadijah, a rich merchant widow, asked Muhammad (s) to take some merchandise for trade to Syria. Soon after this trip when he was twenty-five, Khadijah proposed marriage to Muhammad through a relative. Muhammad accepted the proposal. At that time, Khadijah was twice widowed and forty years old. Khadijah (ra) and Muhammad (s) were the parents of six children - four daughters and two sons. His first son Qasim died at the age of two. He was nicknamed Abul Qasim, meaning the father of Qasim. His second son Abdullah died in infancy. Abdullah was also called affectionately as ‘Tayyab’ and ‘Tahir’ because he was born after Muhammad’s prophethood. The four daughters were: Zainab, Ruqayyah, Umm Kulthum, and Fatimah (ra). \n\nThe Holy sanctuary Ka’bah was now filled with three hundred sixty idols. The original, pristine message of Prophet Ibrahim was lost, and it was mixed with superstitions and traditions of pilgrims and visitors from distant places, who were used to idol worship and myths. In every generation, a small group of men and women detested the pollution of Ka’bah and kept pure their practice of the religion taught by Prophets Ibrahim and Ismail. They used to spend some of their time away from this polluted environment in retreats to nearby hills. \n\nMuhammad (s) was forty when, during his one of many retreats to Mount Hira for meditation during the month of Ramadan, he received the first revelation from the Archangel Jibril (Gabriel). On this first appearance, Gabriel (as) said to Muhammad: "Iqraa," meaning Read or Recite. Muhammad replied, "I cannot read," as he had not received any formal education and did not know how to read or write. The Angel Gabriel then embraced him until he reached the limit of his endurance and after releasing said: "Iqr

Certainly The Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) ismentioned in the Bible.\nThis would certainly interest our Christian friends.\n\nMuhammad in the Bible\nDr. Khalil Ahmad Nasir\n\nMuhammad in the Bible\n\nTABLE OF CONTENTS \nThe Historical Test \nA Prophet From Thy Brethren \nDivine Light From Paran \nThe Earth Was Full Of His Praise \nThe Prince of Peace \nConclusion \nThe world today looks for rational and historical evidence to prove the truth of a person who claims to be from God. These criteria fully support the truth of our Holy Prophet Muhammad.\n\nRational Test \n\nRational thinking indicates that the world was in dire need of revelation, of water from the fountain of spiritual guidance, at the time when the Holy Prophet appeared. He led an ideal life, a perfect example to be followed throughout the future. He started his mission against immense difficulties. He and his followers met strong persecution and opposition. But he was protected and helped by God in miraculous ways. Before his death his mission was firmly established all over Arabia and was rapidly spreading to other countries. \n\nHe worked miracles. He foretold the future, and his prophecies were fulfilled not only in his lifetime but continue to be fulfilled in our time as well. He brought a teaching  which has attracted countless adherents since he appeared. In short, all rational tests prove that the mission of the Holy Prophet Muhammad was truly from God. \n\nThe Historical Test \n\nThere is also another test, the historical one, which our present day world requires of a messenger of God. A notable American Bishop of the Catholic Church wrote in a nationally famous magazine that the test of history available to all men, all civilizations and all ages can be applied only to Jesus, because: \n\nThere were no predictions about Buddha, Muhammad, or anyone else -except Christ. Others just came and said: “Here I am, believe me”. Christ alone steps out of the line and answers: My coming was foretold, even to the smallest detail. \n\nThis statement is quite challenging and requires attention. We Muslims believe that Jesus was a true prophet of God. We also accept his advent as having been foretold in the previous scriptures. \n\nBut what about Muhammad? \n\nWe find that his coming was foretold in clear and precise terms not only by Jesus himself but by Moses and other Biblical prophets as well. In fact it seems from whatever words of Jesus are available to the world, that the bringing of glad tidings of a great coming prophet was one of the chief objects of his mission. \n\nAgain and again Jesus said that he was sent to the world only to give as much guidance as the people of his own time could bear. As for complete teaching which would stay forever with mankind, he said: \n\nBut the comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. (John 14-26) \n\nOnly the prophet of Islam could have fulfilled this prophecy of Jesus. Muhammad was truly sent in his name because he bore testimony to his truth. The Holy Quran says: \n\nThe Messiah, son of Mary, was a messenger, "surely messengers like unto him had passed away before him" (The Holy Quran 5:76) \n\nThe Holy Quran reports that the angels told Mary: \n\nSurely Allah gives you good news with a word from Him of whose name is the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, worthy of regard in this world and hereafter. (The Holy Quran 3:46) \n\nThe Holy Prophet testified to the truth of Jesus as a divine and honored Teacher and Prophet, and declared them mistaken and misguided who thought him accursed. The Holy Quran described his teachings as "guidance and light ."Further elaborating the same prophecy, Jesus said: \n\nNevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will sent him unto you

The Holy Prophet Muhammad, is reported to have said that the best among men is the one who is best in his treatment to his wife. Hadhrat Ayesha, his honoured wife (may Allah be pleased with her), is reported to have replied to those who desired to know more about the Holy Prophet's character after his death: His character was the Quran. He practised what he preached and he preached what he practised. `Muhammad' literally means the Praised One and the Holy Quran says: \n\nAllah sends down His blessings on the Prophet and His angels pray for him. O ye who believe, you too should invoke God's blessings on him and salute him with the salutation of peace. (33:57) \nHe was not an innovation as a Prophet (46:10) and there are prophecies about his advent both in the Torah and the Gospels (7:58). The Holy Prophet had a promise of divine protection (5:68) and was guarded and helped by the angels (13:12 & 66:5).\n\nThere is no myth or mystery about his life. His life was an open book. He was known as the Truthful and the Honest one and lived a pure life before his claim to prophethood (10:17). Every detail about his life is well preserved in history. It is a well known fact that he was not able to read or write as he never had the opportunity to go to any school to learn from any teacher. God was his teacher. He received his call from God at the age of forty to proclaim the message of Islam to mankind:\n\nThere is no god but Allah and Muhammad is His Messenger.\n\nThe Holy Prophet's life was dedicated to the dual purpose of re-establishing on earth the Unity of God, our Creator, Who alone is worthy of our worship and through establishing that relationship with God people should become civilized and behave justly towards one another.\n\nHis mission was to recite the Signs of God, teach people the book and wisdom and purify them (2:130 & 62:2-3).\n\nIt is a historical fact that when the Meccans offered to give him anything he wanted, his reply was totally uncompromising on the question of the Unity of God. He said: \n\nI will not renounce my message from God even if they put the sun on my right hand and the moon on my left. \n\nThe Holy Prophet and his followers suffered all kinds of injuries and persecution at Mecca for thirteen long years and when life for them became unbearable, they migrated to Medina. The Meccans having failed in their plot to kill the Prophet, now pursued the Muslims to Medina. God then permitted the believers to fight the aggressors in order to end persecution and to defend their rights. \n\nThe Holy Quran was revealed to the Holy Prophet over a period of twenty-three years which was just completed before he died (and all Prophets had died before him, 4:154) at the age of sixty-three. The religion of Islam was firmly established in Arabia. \n\nHe was a perfect man (22:2), a perfect leader (36:2) and an excellent exemplar for mankind (33:22). God says: \n\nO Prophet, We have sent thee as a witness, and a bearer of glad tidings and a warner, and as a summoner unto Allah by His command and a light-giving sun. (33:46-47) \nHadhrat Muhammad was Allah's Messenger for all mankind (4:80, 7:159, 34:29). He was sent as a mercy for all mankind (21:108). He received revelation from God as did previous Prophets (4:164, 42:4) and he was enjoined to convey the revelation to the people (5:68). He was commanded to be alert and ever ready to spread the truth (74:2) and saw his success in the propagation of Islam during his life time (110:3). \n\nHis message was universal (34:29) and he always yearned that mankind should believe (18:7, 26:4, 93:8). He was the Seal of the Prophets (33:41) and achieved the highest status in nearness to Allah (53:9). The Holy Quran says: \n\nWhoso obeys Allah and this Messenger shall be among those upon whom Allah has bestowed His favours - the Prophets, the Faithful ones, the Martyrs and the Righteous; and they are excellent companions. (4:70)

As for the Prophet's miracles, it is to be stated that a number of miracles were bestowed upon and performed by the Prophet Muhammad to establish the proof of his prophethood. Those miracles are granted by the power and permission of Allah and are usually in the field in which his people excel and are recognized as superiors.\nThe Arabs, the contemporaries of the Prophet Muhammad, were known for their eloquence and magnificent poetry. So Prophet Muhammad's major miracle was the Qur'an, the equivalent of which the whole legion of the Arab poets and orators could not produce despite the repeated challenge from the Qur'an itself.\nProphet Muhammad's greatest miracle has something special about it. All previous miracles were limited by time and place, i.e., they were shown to specific people at a specific time. Not so the miracle of Muhammad, the Qur'an. It is a universal and everlasting miracle. Previous generations witnessed it and future generations will witness its miraculous nature in terms of its style, content and spiritual uplifting. These still can be tested and will thereby prove the divine origin of the Qur'an.\nThe Qur'an is miraculous in a number of aspects: Its linguistic perfection and inimitability, its validation by recent historical, archaeological, and scientific discoveries, its prophecies and so on. Unlike the miracles of other prophets before him, the miracle of the Qur'an is eternal.\n\nBesides the revelation of the Qur’an, the Prophet of Islam had performed many material miracles.\n(1) Splitting of the Moon:\n\nAlmighty Allah says, "The Hour has drawn near, and the moon has been cleft asunder." (An-Najm: 1)\n\nImam al-Bukhari reported on the authority of `Abdullah who said: "The moon was cleft asunder while we were in the company of the Prophet, and it became two parts. The Prophet said, “Witness, witness (this miracle)."\nNOW scientists have proven the splitting of the moon.\n\n(3) Water Multiplication:\n\n`Abdullah reported: We used to consider miracles as Allah's Blessings, but you people consider them to be a warning. Once we were with Allah's Messenger on a journey, and we ran short of water. He said, "Bring the water remaining with you." The people brought a utensil containing a little water. He placed his hand in it and said, "Come to the blessed water, and the Blessing is from Allah." I saw the water flowing from among the fingers of Allah's Messenger, and no doubt, we heard the meal glorifying Allah, when it was being eaten (by him). (Reported by al-Bukhari)\n\n(4) Crying of the stem of the Date-palm Tree:\n\n\nAl-Bukhari reported on the authority of Ibn `Umar who said: The Prophet used to deliver his sermons while standing beside a trunk of a date-palm. When he had the pulpit made, he used it instead. The trunk started crying and the Prophet went to it, rubbing his hand over it (to stop its crying).\n\n(5) The Prophet's Night Journey to Jerusalem and Ascent to the Heavens:\n\n\nThe opening verse of surat al-Isra' relates the miracle of the Prophet's night journey to Jerusalem. Regarding the Statement of Allah, "And We granted the vision (Ascension to the heavens) which We made you see (as an actual eye witness) was only made as a trial for the people." (Al-Isra': 60) Ibn `Abbas added: "The sights which Allah's Messenger was shown on the Night Journey when he was taken to Bayt-ul-Maqdis (i.e. Jerusalem) were actual sights, (not dreams). And the Cursed Tree (mentioned) in the Qur'an is the tree of Zaqqum (itself)." (Reported by al-Bukhari)\n\n\nThere are also many other miracles that were performed by Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) or happened to him. What we mentioned here are merely examples.\n\n\nfor his prophethood:\nMuslim scholars have discussed different ways to consider the Prophetic claim of Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon

Jesus was a prophet, just like the many prophets before him and the one after him.  Besides, how could any one kill God?  Just like God would not lessen himself to an animal, neither would a rich medical doctor go begging on the streets.  The story is, there was a Jewish man named Saul.  He killed hundreds of thousands of Christians for the Roman Empire.  The religion of God was spreading, and his attempts were being unsuccessful.  Many years after prophet Jesus left us, he 'converted' to Christianity and introduced the concept of Zues son of Apollo relationship into Christianity and Saul changed his name and is now known as St. Paul.  According to Christian historians, many verses, including the one where it claims that God says prophet Jesus is His only begotten son, was added by Saul aka St. Paul.  He has destroyed Christianity from within and is now a pagan religion; look around next time you go to church.  The Bible is also full of Islamic prophesies. One that I recall is in genesis ~from the seed of Ishmael I will create a great nation and from him 12 princes will be descendant of. Prophet Muhammad (SAW) was the only one to claim to be from prophet Ishmael plus he had 12 righteous descendants, as also stated in bukhari. The Bible also says that false prophets will not be successful but in the not to far off future, Islam will be the largest religion in this planet. Plus prophet Abraham and prophet Ishmael build the Kaba, and prophet Ishmael is buried there beside the building. Note, prophet Jesus did not have a father and was born of a Virgin Mary with the spirit, but prophet Adam had neither a mother or father and was made of the spirit without any previous human connection. If prophet Jesus brought the dead person to life, prophet Moses brought an inanimate piece of wood into a snake which is more miraculous. What is the miracle of Prophet Muhammad (SAW)? A Book, the Holy Qur'an, unchanged with proof for 1400 years, what other book can claim this? And if you think it was just good book keeping, there is a verse there claiming that God will protect the Holy Qur'an from any changes. Also the banned Bible according to St. Barnabas clearly states that Prophet Muhammad (SAW) will come after prophet Jesus.

In short. Yes. All the prophets believed in one God and preached about one God. Adam to Mohammed, all same.

Allah is God. the Creator, the God of Heaven and Earth and every thing in between. AKA, YHWH, Jehovah.\n\nAbu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) is the closest friend of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), he was the first Muslim ruler after the Prophet Muhammad (632–634). While Sunnis regard him as his rightful successor (caliph), chosen by the people, indeed, the first of four righteous Caliphs (Rashidun),\n\nAbu Jahl AKA Amr ibn Hisham: Abu Jahl was one among the leaders of Quraish, and among the chieftains that in varying degrees kept a relentless hostility towards the Muslims.\n\nAbu Sufyan ibn al-Harb was one of Muhammad's staunchest opponents who became a sahaba (companion) of Muhammad.\nHe was the leader of the Banu Umayyah (Umayyad) clan of the Quraish tribe and was the chieftain of the entire Quraish tribe, making him one of the most powerful men in Mecca during the lifetime of Muhammad.\n\n\nAbu Ṭalib ibn ‘Abdu’l-Muṭṭalib: was married to Fatima bint Asad and was an uncle of the Prophet Muhammad. His real name was Imran but he is better known as Abu Talib because he had a son named Talib. Abu Talib raised and supported the Prophet Muhammad while he was a young man.\nfull brother of Muhammad's father 'Abdullah ibn 'Abdul Muttalib, who had died before Muhammad's birth.\n\nIn 576, Abu Talib took care of Muhammad after the death of Aminah bint Wahab, Muhammad's mother. Abu Talib also protected Muhammad against other sub-clans of Banu Quraish, who were the enemies of the Islamic Prophet Mohammed.\n\nOther sources say that Abu Talib took care of Muhammad after the death of Shaiba ibn Hashim (c. 497 – 578), Muhammad's grandfather and Abu Talib's father, when Muhammad was 8 years old.\n\nWhen Muhammad was a child, Abu Talib was head of the Banu Hashim clan of the Quraish tribe. Once Muhammad got older, he took responsibility for Abu Talib's son Ali ibn Abu Talib. Abu Talib had a trading caravan business with Syria.\n\nWhen Muhammad was 20, he began to work for Khadijah bint Khuwaylid, who had a thriving caravan business. At age 25, Muhammad married Khadijah, a wealthy woman. While most sources claim she was a 40-year-old widow, others claim she was younger and unmarried.

I'd say that Prophet goes right along with Messiah.  But He was not only a Prophet of God but His only Begotten Son.

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 !!!
