in Islam when you say Allah(which is the same meaning as god but in Arabic)you say SUB HAN ALLAH=which means almighty god.\nand when you say a prophets name you say PEACE BE UPON HIM.\nSome gratings that have god in them are\nALLAH MA AK=which means god is with you\nALHAMDUALLAH= which means thanks to Allah\nSALAMU ALLAKUM WA RAHMATU ALLAH WA BARAKATU= which means peace be upon you and gods mercy to you.\ni hope this helped you a little bit.

We are instructed by the Noble Qura'an to answer back with the word "Peace" when addressed by ignorants, so again: Peace.\n\n\nMuhammed A – Z\nMay Allah Exalt his Mention\nBy Yusuf Estes, Former Christian Preacher\n\nMuhammad ibn Abdullah ibn Abdul Muttalib\nBorn 570 C.E. (Christian Era); died 633 C.E.\n\nThe following is based on books, manuscripts, texts and actual eyewitness accounts, too numerous to mention herein, preserved in original form throughout the centuries by both Muslims and non-Muslims.\n\nMany people today are discussing Prophet Muhammad, may Allah exalt his mention. Who was he exactly? What did he teach? Why was he loved so much by some and hated so much by others? Did he live up to his claims? Was he a holy man? Was he a prophet of God? What is the truth about this man?You be the judge.\nHere are the facts as narrated by thousands of people, many of whom knew him personally.\n*He was born to a noble tribe to the lineage of the leaders of Makkah.\n*His name comes from the Arabic root "hamd" and literally means "praised one." People at his time and until this very moment, praise him many times per day, may Allah exalt his mention.\n*He never fell into the common practice of his tribesmen to worship statues, idols or man-made "gods."\n*He believed that God was truly One God, and as such, He was to be worshipped alone, without any other "gods" beside Him.\n*He held the Name of God in the highest of reverence and never took God's Name in vain or for any vain glorious purpose.\n*He despised false worship and all of the complexities and degradation to which it leads.\n*He adhered to the Commandments of Almighty God, just as prophets of old had done in the past.\n*He never committed adultery, and he forbade others from doing it.\n*He forbade usury and interest on money lending, as Jesus, may Allah exalt his mention, had done centuries before him.\n*He never gambled and did not allow it.\n*He never drank alcohol or strong drink; even though it was a very normal thing for people of his time and place.\n*He did not engage in gossip and used to turn away from hearing anything related to it.\n*He fasted for days at a time to be closer to Almighty God and away from the narrowness of worldly attractions.\n*He taught that Jesus, may Allah exalt his mention, was the immaculate conception and miracle birth of Mary, and that she was among the best creation of Almighty God.\n*He insisted even to the Jews of Medina, that Jesus, may Allah exalt his mention, was the Messiah, the Christ, the one predicted to come in their Torah (Old Testament).\n*He said Jesus, may Allah exalt his mention, did many miracles by the permission of Almighty God, curing the lepers, restoring sight to the blind and even bringing a dead man back to life.\n*He stated clearly that Jesus, may Allah exalt his mention, was not dead, rather Almighty God had raised him up.\n*He foretold that Jesus, may Allah exalt his mention, is going to return again in the Last Days to lead the true believers in a victory over the evil and unrighteous people, and he will destroy the Anti-Christ.\n*He commanded the payment of charity to the poor and he was the defender and protector of widows, orphans and the wayfarers.\n*He ordered people to unite with their families and honor the ties of kinship and he restored relationships between family members.\n*He required his followers to engage only in lawful marriage relationships with women, and forbade sex outside of Almighty God's Ordinance.\n*He insisted on giving women their proper rights, dowries, inheritance and property.\n*His patience and humble attitude were exemplary and all who knew him had to admit to these virtues.\nA. He never lied, never broke a trust never bore false witness, and he was famous with all the tribes in Makkah and was known as: "The Truthful" (Al-Ameen).\nB. He never once engaged in sex outside of marriage, nor did he ever approve

Is it obligatory to change one's name if its meaning is not good?. \n\n\nAnswer :\n\n    Praise be to Allaah.  \n\n    Names have meanings, as the saying goes, and every person is influenced by the meaning of his name. So a person should be given a suitable name that has a good meaning, so that he will be influenced by his name. \n\n    Ibn al-Qayyim said: \n\n    Because names have meanings, it is wise that there should be a proper connection between the meaning of the names and the object that is carrying the name. It should not be the case that the meaning is not suited to the object and there is no connection between the meaning and the object, because this is what is decreed by the Most Wise, and reality testifies to that. Indeed names have a great impact on the objects to which they are applied, and the objects that carry these names will definitely be influenced by these names, whether these names are good or ugly, whether they refer to meanings of lightness or heaviness, kindness or cruelty.” \n\n    Zaad al-Ma’aad, 2/336 \n\n    Hence the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to change bad names to good ones. \n\n    It was narrated from Ibn ‘Umar that a daughter of ‘Umar was called ‘Aasiyah (disobedient), but the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) renamed her Jameelah (beautiful). Narrated by Muslim, 2139. \n\n    The ruling – changing names to good names – has to do with what is mustahabb and preferable; it is not obligatory or binding. \n\n    The evidence for that is the report narrated by al-Bukhaari (6190) from Ibn al-Musayyab that his father came to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and he said, “What is your name?” He said, “Hazn (meaning rough).” He said, “You are Sahl (meaning easy).” He said, “I will not change the name that my father gave to me.” Ibn al-Musayyab said, “And we have had roughness (in character) ever since.” \n\n    Roughness means being harsh and difficult to deal with. \n\n    Ibn Battaal said: \n\n    This shows that improving names and changing names to something better is not something that is obligatory. \n\n    Fath al-Baari. \n\n    And if it had been obligatory, the Sahaabi would not have refused to change his name, and the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) would have compelled him to change his name. \n\n    And Allaah knows best. \n\n    But if the name carries a meaning implying servitude to someone other than Allaah, such as ‘Abd al-Nabi (slave of the Prophet) and ‘Abd al-Maseeh (slave of the Messiah), and the like, then these names must be changed, because it is not permissible to be a slave of someone other than Allaah, and because all of creation belongs to Allaah and is subjugated to Him. \n\n    Ibn Hazm (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: \n\n    The scholars are agreed that every name which implies servitude to someone other than Allaah – such as ‘Abd ‘Amr or ‘Abd al-Ka’bah and so on, is haraam. \n\n    Fath al-Majeed, p. 531 \n\n    And Allaah knows best. \n\n\n    Islam Q&A (www.islam-qa.com)

Christ\n\nDeu 18:18  I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. \nJoh 12:49  For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.\nJoh 7:16  Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.\n\nEnough, there's your answer.\nWhat are you trying to prove.\n\nJust another example. This wasn't a question at all. Some biblical illiterate trying to make some useless point.

First of all followers of God's messenger Mohammed peace and blessings be upon him are called Muslims (submitters to God) and not Mohammedans. Secondly, Mohammed peace be upon him is only a human being and not the son of God. God Almighty is above having a partner or a son.\n\nFollowing is a translation of Ch.112 of the Noble Quran\n112.001. Say: He is Allah, the One!\n112.002. Allah, the eternally Besought of all!\n112.003. He begetteth not nor was begotten.\n112.004. And there is none comparable unto Him.\n\nAs for our relationship with God, it does not have to be through anyone, it is direct, for He is the All-Hearing, All-Knowing, and He's closer to us than our jugular veins.

Allah is the proper name of God, however, we know Him generally through His attributes. These attributes describe how Allah manifests Himself to us. God's attributes are innumerable since human intellect cannot possibly comprehend every aspect of the Supreme Being. A Hadith of the Holy Prophet (peace be on him) makes mention of Ninety Nine names of Allah commonly known as al- Asmaul Husna, the Most Names. In the Holy Quran we read: "And to Allah alone belong all perfect attributes. So call Him by these. And leave alone those who deviate from the right way with respect to His Attributes.\n   \n"Allah - there is no God but He, the Living, the Self-Subsisting and All-Sustaining. Slumber seizes Him not, nor sleep. To Him belongs whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth. Who is he that will intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is before them and what is behind them; and they encompass nothing of His knowledge except what He pleases. His knowledge extends over the heavens and the earth; and the care of them burdens Him not;and He is the High, the Great.\n \n   \nAllah is the Light of the heavens and the earth. The similitude of His light is a lustrous niche, wherein is a lamp. The lamp is in a glass. The glass is as it were a glittering star. It is lit from blessed tree - an olive - neither of the east nor of the west, whose oil would well-nigh glow forth even though fire touched it not.Light upon light! Allah guides to His light whomsoever He will. And Allah sets forth parables to men, and Allah know all things full well.This light is now lit in houses with regard to which Allah has ordained that they be exalted and that His name be remembered in them, Therein is He glorified in the mornings and the evenings\n \n   \n"He is Allah, and there is no God beside Him, the Knower of the unseen and the seen. He is Gracious, the Merciful.He is Allah, and there is no God beside Him, the Sovereign, the Holy One, the Source of Peace, the Bestower of Security, the Protector, the Mighty, the Subduer, the Exalted. Holy is Allah far above that which they associate with Him.He is Allah, the Creator, the Maker, the Fashioner. His are the most Beautiful Names. All that is in the heavens and the earth glorifies Him, and He is the Mighty the Wise.

I'm not sure exactly what you said because I do not know Islam and the Quran well enough.\n\nHowever, I do get bent when Taimur keeps saying "Jesus the Prophet peace be unto him."\n\nEither you believe Jesus was God or you believe he was a lunatic or liar. What Jesus said about Himself left no room for middle ground.\n\nIt's illogical to call Jesus a prophet when He claimed to be God. He said He would take away the sin of the world. A mere man, even if a prophet, has no power to do this. Jesus claimed to be God.\n\nSo call Him God or call Him a liar or lunatic. Just quite with the false ecumenism by calling Him a prophet 'pbuh'

OK, brass tacks time. You can make as many proclamations you wish about who is God. But it all comes down to the gauntlet thrust into the ring by the God of the Bible...\n\nIsaiah 41:22-23\n “Let them bring forth and show us what will happen. Let them show the former things, what they were, that we may consider them, and know the latter end of them--or declare to us things to come. Show the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that you are gods. Yes, do good or do evil, that we may be dismayed and see it together."\n\nGod is saying, "OK, you who say you are gods and prophets, tell us what will happen in the future before it happens. If you can, then you will be one who dwells in eternity. If not, you are no god and a false prophet."\n\nBy the admission of those on this forum, the Qu'ran contains NO prophecy and Muhammad made no prophetic pronouncements.\n\nGod has in the Old Testament, Jesus fulfilled and made some of His own (such as the destruction of the temple). The studies below are just a few examples of fulfilled prophecies--there are hundreds! Some fulfilled, others still pending. So who is the One who dwells in eternity? The One who sees the beginning and the end as one? I'll let HIM tell you...\n\nIsaiah 42:9\n"Behold, the former things have come to pass, and new things I declare; before they spring forth I tell you of them."\n\nIsaiah 57:15\nFor thus says the High and Lofty One Who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: "I dwell in the high and holy place,With him who has a contrite and humble spirit, To revive the spirit of the humble, And to revive the heart of the contrite ones."

look sweety\nallah is the god or lord.allah is the arabic translation of the word god.and the first step 2 becom a muslim is to say.(i wetniess that theres no god but allah,and i wetniess that Mohamed is his slave and his messenger.\njesus:-he is a messenger from the god allah sent him to the people 2 guied them and deliver Allah's messege.he is the son of meryam the vargin. he is not the son of the god cause the god is unique.he don't have sons or doughters god is the creatour of every thing.and i'll refer to an ayat from the koraan about allah and jesus and i'll give u a site of koraan translated in all the langauges.\n1. Say (O Muhammad ()): "He is Allâh, (the) One.\n\n2. "Allâh-us-Samad (The Self-Sufficient Master, Whom all creatures need, He neither eats nor drinks). \n\n3. "He begets not, nor was He begotten; \n\n4. "And there is none co-equal or comparable unto Him." \n\nsorah.alIkhlas,holly koraan.\nabout jesus:-\n30. "He ['Iesa (Jesus)] said: Verily! I am a slave of Allâh, He has given me the Scripture and made me a Prophet;" \n\n31. "And He has made me blessed wheresoever I be, and has enjoined on me Salât (prayer), and Zakât, as long as I live." \n\n32. "And dutiful to my mother, and made me not arrogant, unblest. \n\n33. "And Salâm (peace) be upon me the day I was born, and the day I die, and the day I shall be raised alive!" \n\n34. Such is 'Iesa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary). (it is) a statement of truth, about which they doubt (or dispute). \n\n35. It befits not (the Majesty of) Allâh that He should beget a son [this refers to the slander of Christians against Allâh, by saying that 'Iesa (Jesus) is the son of Allâh]. Glorified (and Exalted be He above all that they associate with Him). When He decrees a thing, He only says to it, "Be!" and it is. \n\n36. ['Iesa (Jesus) said]: "And verily Allâh is my Lord and your Lord. So worship Him (Alone). That is the Straight Path. (Allâh's Religion of Islâmic Monotheism which He did ordain for all of His Prophets)." [Tafsir At-Tabarî] \nsourah,Mryam,Ayah 29.Holly Koran \nabout jesus too:-\n17. Surely, in disbelief are they who say that Allâh is the Messiah, son of Maryam (Mary) . Say (O Muhammad ): "Who then has the least power against Allâh, if He were to destroy the Messiah, son of Maryam (Mary), his mother, and all those who are on the earth together?" And to Allâh belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them. He creates what He wills. And Allâh is Able to do all things.  \n\n18. And (both) the Jews and the Christians say: "We are the children of Allâh and His loved ones." Say: "Why then does He punish you for your sins?" Nay, you are but human beings, of those He has created, He forgives whom He wills and He punishes whom He wills. And to Allâh belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, and to Him is the return (of all). \n\nsourah,ALmaa'da,Ayah 17,Holly Koraan\ntheres more and more to till u about Allah &Jesus the messenger of god (p.p)up on him. it's better to read the holly koraan but a real and orginal copy from it.\nfor me it's not logical that jesus is the god,cause chrestien says that jesus(p.p)up on him died in the cross.how could a creatour and god daie?.if he is a god how he couldn't protect him self form people he created?.is that logical?.i don't think so.\nany way i hope that i answered your question.but theres more to explain.try this links

Why does there have to be so much bickering? I do not think that God will question the manner in which you worshiped his name! Where you Muslim, Christan? And if your God does, I do not want to know your God.  You praise him in your way, I shall praise him in mine. Let that be the end of it.

After the death of Prophet Mohammed, people who believed his successor is his son-in-law Hazrat Ali who will guide the umma in spiritual matters as well as daily matters, hand-in-hand with Holy book Quran are called as Shia. While people who believed that after the death, Quran (the holy book) and Sunna (prophet' deeds) are sufficient for guidance in all spiritual as well as daily matters are called Sunni's.\n\nShia people believe in living Imam (Ali was first Imam) who is responsible for interpretation of the verse in Quran as per change in world.\n\nSunni people interpret the Quran themselves or look for educated theologies experts for guidance.

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

Yes he did.\nHe clearly predicted the arrival of a Prophet after him. Only he called him by the name "Ahmad" instead of "Muhammad".\nMost Arabs here will notice that no mistake in the prediction was made, since Ahmad and Muhammad both mean the same thing "The praised one".

Jesus peace be upon him did not say that he was the last prophet.\n\nCheck John chapter 16 verse 5 to 14\n\n5 "But now I go away to Him who sent Me, and none of you asks Me, "Where are you going?'\n\n6 " because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart.\n\n7 "Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for it I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you.\n\n8 And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:\n\n9 "Of sin, because they do not believe in Me;\n\n10 "Of righteousness because I go to My Father and you see Me no more;\n\n11 "Of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.\n\n12 "I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.\n\n13 "However, when he the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.\n\n14 He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you.\n\n\n\n\nThe Old Testament also mentions about coming of the last prophet.\nCheck the song of Solomon\nthe last prophet is mentioned by name\n"Mohammedim"\nIn Hebrew IM is used as plural of respect.\n"Mohammed IM"\nthe translators of Bible have also translated the Name\nMohammedIM = all together lovely.
