no we didn't exist. Allah breathes from his spirit into the baby while in it's mother's womb.\n\nbut Allah knows in advance how we are going to live our lives.

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!!

And they ask you concerning the Spirit; Say: "The Spirit is one of the things, the knowledge of which is only with my Lord. And of knowledge, you (mankind) have been given only a little." (Quran 17:85)\n\nRegarding Saint Nearly question:\nProphet Muhammed (pbuh) told that the soul get introduced into the body on day 40 of the conception.

No. they do not. There are too many fundamental differences in their doctrines.\n\n"Traditional Islam teaches that there is only one God (Allah) and that God works through prophets rather than assume a physical form.\n\n The Nation of Islam claims that its founder, Fard Muhammad, who appeared mysteriously in Detroit on July 4th, 1930, was the incarnation of Allah (God).\n\n Traditional Islam teaches about the \nProphets: God revealed His existence to a number of prophets, including Adam, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad, who received God's final revelation.\n\nNation of Islam teaches that after the death of Elijah Muhammad, the movement has taught that he was a prophet or "messenger" of God.\n\n \nOn Race: The Qur'an says Allah created the human race "from a single male and female, and made you into nations and tribes, so ye may know each other, not that ye may despise each other."\n\n The Nation of Islam elevates blacks (and often other non-caucasians) above whites, who are considered "blue-eyed devils." The NOI also believes that whites were created by a renegade black scientist named Yacub."

You must believe in God to be Christian or Muslim, as such belief is fundamental to both. Those that don't believe in God, or think they know the God of these two groups, making God a mere fancy of their own minds, can't be truly called Christian or Muslim. \n\n100% of true Christians, and Muslims believe in God, but most who claim to be either of those two, have an image of what God must be, or else they won't believe, and this is evidently different than what Mohammad and Jesus taught of God, so they are unbelievers in Their teaching. This is to be expected in some degree from everyone since no mind can contain God, but we seek what the allusions point to.\n\nSo in one sense there are no true believers in God, except God, as God is the only one that can contain God; and, on the other hand, all who are seeking affirmations from the dwelling place of God, which is God, are believers in as much is possible.\n\nIn sum we all believe in God as God is, but scantly could that belief be said to be even a fraction of a percent, compared to God's own belief/knowing of God.

Allah has indeed already been bounteous to the believers as He sent forth among them a Messenger from (among) themselves (who) recites to them His ayat (i.e., signs, verses) and cleanses them, and teaches them the Book and (the) Wisdom; and decidedly they were earlier indeed in evident error” (TMQ, 3:164).\n\n \n\nWithout the Prophet (SAWS) we are all “in evident error”!\n\n==============================================\n\nit means u actually saw him ,,congratulation pray all the best for u and to see him in the day of judgment happy with ur deeds,,pray for me to saw him too,,ameeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen,,that is also mean u love him alot

yes muslims do.\n\nMuslims believe that the present life is a trial in preparation for the next realm of existence. When a Muslim dies, he or she is washed and wrapped in a clean, white cloth (usually by a family member) and buried after a special prayer, preferably the same day. Muslims consider this a final service that they can do for their relatives and an opportunity to remember that their own existence here on earth is brief.\n\nThe question of whether there is life after death does not fall under the jurisdiction of science, as science is concerned only with classification and analysis of sense data. Moreover, man has been busy with scientific inquiries and research, in the modern sense of the term, only for the last few centuries, while he has been familiar with the concept of life after death since time immemorial.\nAll the Prophets of God called their people to worship God and to believe in life after death. They laid so much emphasis on the belief in life after death that even a slight doubt in it meant denying God and made all other beliefs meaningless.\n\nThe very fact that all the Prophets of God have dealt with this metaphysical question of life after death so confidently and so uniformly - the gap between their ages in some cases, being thousands of years - goes to prove that the source of their knowledge of life after death as proclaimed by them all, was the same, i.e. Divine revelation.\n\nWe also know that these Prophets of God were greatly opposed by their people, mainly on the issue of life after death, as their people thought it impossible. But in spite of opposition, the Prophets won many sincere followers.\n\nThe question arises: what made those followers forsake the established beliefs, traditions and customs of their forefathers, notwithstanding the risk of being totally alienated from their own community? The simple answer is: they made use of their faculties of mind and heart and realized the truth.\n\nDid they realize the truth through perceptual consciousness? They couldn’t, as perceptual experience of life after death is impossible. God has given man besides perceptual consciousness, rational, aesthetic and moral consciousness too. It is this consciousness that guides man regarding realities that cannot be verified through sensory data. That is why all the Prophets of God while calling people to believe in God and life after death, appeal to the aesthetic, moral and rational consciousness of man.\n\nFor example, when the idolaters of Makkah denied even the possibility of life after death, the Quran exposed the weakness of their stand by advancing very logical and rational arguments in support of it:\n\n And he (i.e. man) presents for Us an example (i.e. attempting to establish the finality of death) and forgets his [own] creation. He says, “Who will give life to bones while they are disintegrated?” Say, “He will give them life who produced them the first time; and He is, of all creation, Knowing.” [It is] He who made for you from the green tree, fire, and then from it you ignite. Is not He who created the heavens and the earth Able to create the likes of them? Yes, [it is so]; and He is the Knowing Creator.  (Quran, 36:78-81)\n\nOn another occasion, the Quran very clearly says that the disbelievers have no sound basis for their denial of life after death. It is based on pure conjecture:\n\n And they say, “There is not but our worldly life; we die and live (i.e. some people die and others live, replacing them) and nothing destroys us except time.” And they have of that no knowledge; they are only assuming. And when Our verses are recited to them as clear evidences, their argument is only that they say, “Bring [back] our forefathers, if you should be truthful.” Say, “God causes you to live, then causes you to die; then He will assemble you for the Day of Resurrection, about which there is no doubt,” but most of the people do not know.  (Quran, 45:24-26)\n\nSurely God will rais

A short story:\na young christian of 13 , asked his mother >>> what were people worshiping at the time of Adam, Noah, Abraham,......until Moses?\nshe answered >>> God !!!.\nhe asked >>> why we worship jesus then?\nshe answered >>>because it is written in the bible.\nhe asked >>> what will be the faith of the people before the coming of jesus ? \nshe answered >>> I don't know.\nSo, After thinking about this even more, knowing that there is\na religion ( Islam) that worships only one God , like the people\nbefore. Again ,he too believed this. And became a muslim at\nage 17 himself. Why? Because he could not accept or find reasons to believe in the trinity concept. None of the people before nor after any of the phophets believed in this. This belief\n is only in the bible( new testament) not in the old testament or\nthe Quran.Can we trust or believe blindly in the bible and ignore\nwhat most people on the earth have all believed.\n\nhttp://www.al-sunnah.com/muhammad_in_the_bible.htm\nhttp://www.muslimworld.co.uk/truereligion.htm\nhttp://www.thetruecall.com/home/\nhttp://www.islam-guide.com/life-after-death-by-wamy.htm

Muslims do beleive in God, they also beleive in Jesus, just their story of what happened and what will happen, and so on, is told differently.\n\nthey are not bad as every one thinks they are, perhaps mislead? but very good people who dont fit in American cultures and perhaps that is why we are quick to judge them.

We believe that God (Allah in Arabic since the Quran is in Arabic) created the galaxies, universe, then chose earth to have the living creators.  It is written in the Quran, God told the Angles: I will create a human being to populate earth (this is not the translation but the meaning) this is why, I personally, do not believe in any creators on any planet.  After creating Adam, He told the Angels: Kneel.  All did, only Satan said: "you created me from fire and him from clay; I will not kneel to clay".  God replied: "Get out of heaven, you will never see it again, whoever follows you will be in everlasting hell".  Then God saw that Adam is lonely, so He created Eve.  Then told them: "do not touch this tree".  Satan did not like a creature made from clay living in heaven while he is an outcaste.  He told both of them: "this tree will make you immortal".  They ate it.  The Quran never said that Eve told Adam to eat it, Quran said: "both of them".\nThrough time, people started to worship idols.  God sent Prophets, like Abraham, Noah,…then Moses, Jesus and Mohammed, to tell their people do not forget the One & Only God who is worth worshipping.\nAbraham was order by God to build the Ka'ba, for Muslims to visit once a year, once in a life time it they are able to.  It is not compulsory, but every Muslims wish.  We face it when we pray, it’s a form of unity.  We cannot face any direction of our own choice.  We put our forehead to the ground to remember that we are made from clay; this way the king will not think he is superior to the peasant.   \nI am not shopping to choose a better religion; I was born a Muslim, I am not going to say that mine is better than other religions.  I never criticize others, God made us all; He is the one to judge us.  Better than criticizing each other, let's focus on the good deeds we can do in life before we leave it.

In Islam believing in the existence of Angels is a part of our faith. I found this nice article which briefly explains What the purpose of Gods creation of the Angels is.\n\nAngels in Islam: Creatures of Light\n\nBy Prof. Shahul Hameed* \n \nBelief in the existence of angels is one of the fundamental articles of faith in Islam. Muslims believe that angels were created by God from light. Angels carry out God’s commandments in nature and the universe. What we usually call the “forces of nature” become active because of the presence of angels behind them, working at the command of God.\n\nAngels belong to a level of existence beyond the perceptible world of phenomena, called `alam al-ghayb. As God’s creatures living within the physical world of mundane reality, we humans cannot overstep its confines; nor can we visualize beings that exist outside of it. Muslims believe in the existence of angels because God talks about them through His revelations. Though angels are generally invisible beings, they may appear to the outward eye if required, in forms suitable for the visible world.\n\nThe Arabic word for angel is malak (plural mala’ikah), and its root meaning is “messenger.” Muslims believe that the Angel Gabriel or Jibreel was the messenger through whom God revealed the Qur’an to Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). He appeared to the Prophet as a person who could talk—an appearance which was in keeping with his task. It was the same Angel Jibreel who acted as the Prophet’s guide on the Night of Ascension or Al-Mi`raj. Although God may send His revelation through the Angel Gabriel, it is important to point out that in Islam, angels are not considered intermediaries between God and humans in the sense that humans cannot reach God except through the angels.\n\nThe Qur’an also speaks of angels as playing a crucial role in processes like creation, prophecy, spiritual life, death, resurrection, and the workings of natural elements. For instance, there is an angel who brings the thunder, and he, too, serves God and obeys His command. Other angels are in charge of embryos in wombs, or responsible for protecting human beings.\n\nThe Qur’an speaks of the charge of the angel of death in these verses:\n\n[The angel of death, who has been charged with you, will gather you; then to your Lord you will be returned.] (As-Sajdah 32:11)\n\nThe Qur’an also mentions angels in connection with Heaven and Hell:\n\n[Gardens of Eden which they shall enter ... and the angels shall enter unto them from every gate.] (Ar-Ra`d 13:23)\n\nAlso angels record the deeds of humans as long as they are on earth:\n\n[There are over you watchers, noble writers, who know whatever you do.] (Al-Infitar 82:10-12)\n\n[Over every soul there is a watcher.] (At-Tariq 86:4)\n\nAngels are also mentioned in many hadiths. For example, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is reported to have said that when people gather together in remembrance of God, “The angels surround them, mercy covers them, peace descends on them, and God remembers them among those who are with Him” (At-Tirmidhi).\n\nAngels are different from human beings in that they do not have a will of their own. They were created for the specific purpose of serving God and carrying out His commands. Some angels are in a state of constant worship of God, prostrating to Him and never raising their heads.

no they are not\n\n" O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other (not that ye may despise (each other).

Is it true Muslims consider they can not have personal relation with God ?\n\nMuslims believe all the prayers are to be directed only to God without any middle men like saints, prophets or any one else. Is that more personal than a person thinking God can be approached only through a middle man ? \n\n "And when My servants ask you concerning Me, then surely I am very near; I answer the prayer of the suppliant when he calls on Me, so they should answer My call and believe in Me that they may walk in the right way. " Quran 2:186.  \n\n "And certainly We created man, and We know what his mind suggests to him, and We are nearer to him than his life-vein. " Quran 50: 16.  \n\nMuslims consider their each 5 times prayer as a munajath, that is, a personal conversation with God.\n\nThe word servant can seen used for believer and unbelievers equally in Quran in the sense, even a non-believer is subject to God given natural rules and limitations
