Then we should all go the library and start brushing up on the Koran, Qu'ran, or however else I can misspell it.

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

No. Only a true Muslim will go to heaven.A true Muslim could be identified in short:\n1- Believes in one Allah (God)\n2- Believes and respects all other Prophets.\n3- Believes and respects all angels of Allah.\n4- Follows the teaching of Islam, by spreading the teaching of Allah in a peaceful manner.\n5- His behavior should be of high honor , brother to all Muslims, and a good  neighbor , dose not drink liquor, dose not commit sex but with his wife/husband, dose not kill without due process of the law, dose not tell lies, looks after his parents, protects his family and teaches them Islam,....etc\nIf you are interested to know more details, you could visit some web pages of the net.i will give some well-known and trusted web pages.

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.

Muhammad isn't a God because he got information from an angel and wrote the Koran, making him a prophet. As far as I know, he didn't posess any Godly powers, like creation. (He might have performed miracles, but many prophets have done that.)\n\nJesus is not a prophet because He is the son of God. He did not write any books or recieve any information from God or His messengers once He was on Earth.\n\nI hope that clears it up for you!

Yes, Allah is the God of All Mankind, and everything, The Same God of Prophet Abraham(Peace Be Upon Him), Prophet Moses(PBUH), Prophet Jesus(PBUH),  the Prophet Mohammed (PBUH), and all the Prophets that ever came (Peace and Blessings be Upon them All).  \n\nThe One True God   \n1 minute message - by Imam Shabir Ally  \n \nMost people realise that there is only one true God. Throughout history, this one true God has appointed many good men to tell others about Him so that humans everywhere may turn away from false gods and worship Him alone. Abraham, Moses, and Jesus (peace be upon them) all spoke about this one God and worshipped Him alone.\n\nIn the Gospel According to Matthew, 26:39 (King James Version) we are told that Jesus "fell on his face, and prayed" to God. And in the Gospel According to John, 17:3, Jesus declares that the one he prayed to is the only true God.\n\nThis very God speaks to us in these last days in His final Scripture which He will safeguard from corruption. God announces in His book good news to all those who believe in Him and do right. He says: Surely those who say, 'Our Lord is Allah,' and afterward are upright, the angels descend upon them, saying: Fear not nor grieve, but hear good tidings of the Paradise which you are promised. We are your protecting friends in the life of the world and in the Hereafter.\n\n"There you will have (all) that your souls desire, and there you will have (all) for which you pray. A gift of welcome from the Forgiving, the Merciful."\n[Al-Qur'an 41:30-32]\n\nThose who believe and do good works and believe in that which is revealed unto Muhammad - and it is the truth from your Lord - He rids them of their ill-deeds and improves their condition. That is because those who disbelieve follow falsehood and because those who believe follow the truth from their Lord. [Al-Qur'an 47:2]\n\nAccept this invitation, therefore, and enjoy a life of peace and satisfaction on earth, then everlasting life in God's Paradise. The true scripture promises all this to those who choose no other god except the one true God who was worshipped by Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad (peace be upon them). The truth has now come to you from your Lord! Won't you accept it?(www.whyislam.org)

I believe in all Truths:\nMuhammad trusted God completely, and accepted without question, the truth of what he heard. He knew that in conveying God’s revelations to others, he would encounter varying reactions. Some would listen eagerly and treat him well, while others would be angry and hostile. Thus he was aware that God was laying a heavy and troublesome burden upon him. Yet he accepted it willingly, believing that God would give him the courage and determination to face every kind of opposition.\n\n-Ibn Isaq, "The Life of Muhammad"

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..

The extremists feel that ANY DEPICTION OF MUHAMMAD is blasphemy.. The depiction of him with a bomb with a lit fuse is a GLARING ATTACK on the fundamentalist Islamic faith..\n-------------------\nBorn Muhammad ibn Abdullah, he is said to have initially been a merchant who traveled widely.\n\nMuhammad often retreated to the mountains outside Mecca, for prayer and contemplation. Muslims believe that in 610, at about the age of forty, while praying in one of these mountain caves called Hira, he was visited by the Angel Gabriel who commanded him to memorize and recite the verses sent by God. These verses were later collected as part of the Qur'an. Gabriel told him that God (Allah in Arabic) had chosen him as the last prophet 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 in Mecca resented his preaching and persecuted him and his followers. Muslims believe that this was in part due to his followers' holding Muhammad's authority above that of their leaders. Eventually, persecution followed and in 622, he was forced to flee from Mecca (the Hijra) 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 that was created by 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 Arabian 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\nAll Muslims feel a great love and veneration for Muhammad, and express this feeling in many ways.\n\nWhen speaking or writing, Muhammad's name is preceded by the title "Prophet" and is followed by the phrase, Peace be upon him, or Peace be upon him and his descendants by Shias; in English often abbreviated as "(pbuh)" and "pbuh&hd", or just simply as "p". \nConcerts of Muslim and especially Sufi devotional music include songs praising Muhammad (see Muslim music, Qawwali). \nSome Muslims celebrate the birthday of Muhammad (Mawlid) with elaborate festivities. Others do not, believing that such festivities are modern innovations. \nCriticism of Muhammad is often equated with blasphemy, which is punishable by death in some Muslim states. \nMuhammad is often refered to with titles of praise. \nMuhammad's relics, such as his grave, his sword, his clothing, even strands of his hair, are revered by some. \nEven non-iconic representations of Muhammad are traditionally discouraged. From the 16th century, however, Persian and Ottoman art frequently represented Muhammad in miniatures, albeit with his face either veiled, or emanating radiance (see e.g. Siyer-i Nebi). Modern caricatures of Muhammad have caused great controversy and criticism (see Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons for an example). \nBeyond the stories accepted as canonical by Islamic scholars of hadith, or oral traditions, there are many folktales praising Muhammad and recounting miraculous stories of his birth, upbringing and life.

According to Muslims Muhammad was the last Prophet , they also believe that Jesus was a great Prophet, but not the last one. \nAs an atheist I have no reason to doubt either of these beliefs, if by Prophet you mean some one sent to preach the word of God! They both certainly did that!\nWhere they got this 'word of God' from is a different matter altogether. \nAs far as I can see anyone can set themselves up as a Prophet just as well today as they could then!\nIt's really up to you if you believe any of these 'words of God ' or not, or part with your money or not. \nBut just don't try to convince me of any of it!!

Jesus (son of Mary)is the prophet of Islam revered and referenced as the Spirit of Allah, He never died but raised alive to heaven, will return before the day of judgment to lead Muslims and fight the hypocrites until the world is clean of all evil. He Muslim believe never said he was Son of God. He was a true Muslim, a believer and Guide for the humanity. Muhammad was a prophet of God only. Muslims never worship Muhammad or any other being except the Only God in Arabic-Allah.

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

Simplified version: Christians don't acknowledge Muhammad to have been a prophet because he taught a number of things that are contrary to essential Christian doctrine.  For instance, Muhammad denied Yeshua's (Jesus') death, resurrection, and deity.  If someone were to accept Muhammad as a prophet, they would no longer be a Christian.  If acknowledging Muhammad as a prophet of God does not make one a Muslim on some level, then I don't know what would, and becoming a Muslim makes one no longer a Christian.\n\nMore complex answer: Whatever other prophets we may recognize-- whether they be God's prophets to the Israelites, John the Baptist, Yeshua (Jesus) Himself, Peter, Paul, any of the other apostles, or even people today through whom God may yet deign to speak on some level (although whether or not He actually does on the same level as in times past is a matter of some debate within the Christian community)-- whatever other prophets we may recognize, it simply isn't possible for a Christian to remain a Christian while simultaneously embracing the teachings of Muhammad insofar as they contradict basic, essential tenets of Christian theology.  Unless one plays some really funny word games and defines Christianity out of its historic confessions-- even the most basic creeds, such as the Nicene and Apostolic Creeds-- one cannot be a Christian and accept the teachings of Muhammad concerning who Yeshua (Jesus) was.\n\nThis question is somewhat like asking why Sunnis do not believe that Husayn/Hussein was really a caliph.  However, to make the analogy proper, Husayn/Hussein would have had to have denied several facts central to Islam about Muhammad.  To achieve the sort of drastic effect that is required to make this comparison work, the question would have to be something like... "Why do Sunni's acknowledge other caliphs, but not Husayn/Hussein, who denied that Muhammad is Allah's prophet?"  (Naturally, Husayn/Hussein never really denied that Muhammad was Allah's prophet, but for the sake of a fare comparison between the two questions, such must be pretended.)
