02.10.24 Join Safeer Ahmed and Hanif Khan for Wednesday's show where we will be discussing “Jews and Muslims Against the Far Right” and “Did Jesus die on the Cross?” Jews and Muslims against the Far Right Once again, we are witnessing a surge in right-wing extremism in Europe, posing a threat to both Jews and Muslims. Join us as we explore the parallels in the targeting of both communities and discuss the importance of Jews and Muslims joining forces in their fight against the far-right. Did Jesus die on the Cross? How did the story of the Crucifixion come about? What does the Bible say about the life and death of the Prophet Jesus? What is mentioned in the Holy Quran? These are some of the questions we would like to discuss on our show as we explore why the Prophet Jesus may have survived his time on the cross. Join us as we go on to consider the significance of Prophet Jesus for Muslims, not just Christians Guests Imam Nuruddin Jahangeer Naomi Wimborne- Idrissi - Media Officer for Jewish Voice for Labour Professor Haim Bresheeth- Žabner - Jewish Network for Palestine Dr Emily Guerry - Senior Lecturer in Medieval History at the University of Kent Imam Rabeeb Mirza Producers Anila Nasir and Nabeela Shah
The Qaim Aba Al-Sadiq Abdullah Hashem sits down with Faraz Al-Almahdi and delves deep into the narrations of the Ahlul Bayt (as) regarding the profound connections between the Qaim and the Prophets before him. Specifically, he explores the unique "sunnah" of the Prophets that the Qaim embodies, focusing on the parallels with Prophet Jesus. In this enlightening discussion, the Qaim reveals how Imam Ali (as) prayed for a particular quality to be present in the Qaim, aligning him closely with the divine mission of Jesus. Aba Al-Sadiq sheds light on how he, as the Qaim, fulfills one of the essential laws of Jesus, embodying the spiritual legacy of his mission. Throughout the conversation, many insightful parallels between these two messianic figures are drawn, revealing a shared purpose and a continuity of divine guidance. As the Qaim explains, this alignment is not merely symbolic but represents a profound connection to the spirit of God that has flowed through all the Prophets, from Adam to Jesus, and now to the Qaim himself.

Holy Name - Amy Armstrong - Let Us Welcome the Prophet Jesus. Broadcast on OAR 105.4FM Dunedin www.oar.org.nz
The Bible reports that Jesus Christ (as) offered logical criteria for distinguishing true prophets from false ones. Through that criteria the Prophet Jesus (as) may have intended that actions speak louder than words about a person's character, and therefore the personal conduct of a true prophet must be good. He may have also intended that the positive impact of his teachings on others would be good, or that the message itself must be a clear call to purity and goodness. The beauty of analyzing the ministry of Muhammad ﷺ is that all three interpretations would stand true for him. This paper will illustrate how just his character makes a powerful case for his prophethood.Note: The audio files are generated using AI technology.

The Theme for this show is ‘Jesus and Islam'. The prophet Jesus (peace be upon him) is mentioned at numerous places throughout the Holy Quran, so, if you really love Jesus, and want to know more about him, then you need to read about him in the Holy Quran, as without reading about him in this most widely read book on Earth, you can never really say that you know him. The first poem come from the inspiring words of sister Faiza Kiran with her poem titled ‘The Game of Trinity', and share the true teachings of Jesus and his belief in the one God. The second poem is actually a Christian hymn, and a Hymn for that matter which happens also to be the most famous Hymn of all times. "Amazing Grace" was published in 1779 by the English Anglican clergyman and poet John Newton and is without a doubt the most famous of all the Christian and secular folk hymns, with a message that forgiveness and redemption are possible regardless of sins committed and that the soul can be delivered from despair through the mercy of God. The Third poem is from the acclaimed poet Furqan Mehmud from Fitchburg, Massachusetts in the USA with his poem on the Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him) titled - Eli Eli Lama Sabakh thani. And just by way of introduction, this poem is based around his final whilst words on the cross, where he cried with a loud voice ““Eli, Eli, lama sabakh thani” which means, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” (Mark 15:34) The fourth poem may come to many as a bit of a shock. Why? Because there is quite a lot to take on, and the evidence quoted stands on solid rock. Eloquently written and presented by the acclaimed poet Dr Bushra Khan with her poem titled: “Jesus Christ, son of Mary”. The final poem was written by Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, the Promised Messiah. The Messiah that was expected to follow the messenger of Allah, the Holy Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and that would revive Islam, and to bring back the lost teachings of the pure Islam, just as Jesus's mission was to bring back the lost teachings of the Prophet Moses (peace be upon him). This poem was originally written in Urdu, and the English translation is presented which provides just an essence of the original poetical gems. The poem is titled: “Death of Jesus of Nazareth”.

Battle Array الصف, aṣ-Ṣaff, aka "The Ranks" is the 61st chapter of the Quran, with 14 verses. This sura is an Al-Musabbihat sura because it begins with the glorification of Allah. 1 All things in the universe praise God 2-4 Muslims exhorted to be faithful and to fight for Islam 5 This exhortation enforced by the example of Moses 6 Jesus foretells a Messenger named Ahmad 7-8 Jesus was rejected as a sorcerer notwithstanding his miracles 9 Islam to be exalted above every other religion 10-11 Muslims exhorted to seek forgiveness by striving in the cause of Allah 12-13 The rewards of those who fight for the faith 14 Muslims exhorted to follow the example of the apostles of Jesus[2] The believers are instructed to strive in Allāh's cause in solid battle formations (verse 4), hence the name of this Medinian sûrah. The disciples of Jesus, who stood up for Allāh, are cited as an example for the believers to emulate. The believers are reassured that the truth will prevail despite the disbelievers' unrelenting plots against it. Those who stand up for Allāh are promised great rewards in both worlds. The next sûrah provides more instructions to the believers. At the outset the believers have been warned to the effect; "Allāh indeed hates those people who say one thing and do another, and He indeed loves those who fight in the cause of the Truth, standing like a solid structure, against the enemies of Allāh."' In vv. 5-7 the people of the Holy Prophet's community have been warned that their attitude towards their Messenger and their Religion should not be like the attitude that the Israelites had adopted towards the Prophets Moses and Jesus (peace be upon them). In spite of acknowledging the Prophet Moses as a Messenger of God they continued to malign him as long as he lived, and in spite of witnessing clear signs from the Prophet Jesus they denied him without any hesitation. Consequently, the Israelites became perverse, incapable of benefiting from divine guidance. This is certainly not an enviable state which another nation should imitate Then, in vv. 8-9 a proclamation has been made with the challenge: "The Jews and the Christians, and the hypocrites, who are conspiring with them, may try however hard they may to extinguish this Light of Allāh, it will shine forth and spread in the world in all its fullness, and the Religion brought by the true Messenger of Allāh shall prevail over every other religion however hateful it may be to the pagans and polytheists In vv. 10-13, the believers have been told that the way to success both here and in the Hereafter is only one: that they should believe in Allāh and His Messenger sincerely and should exert their utmost in Allāh's Way with their selves and their wealth. As a reward for this they will earn immunity from Allāh's punishment, forgiveness of their sins and the eternal Paradise in the Hereafter, and will be blessed with Allāh's good pleasure, succour and victory in the world In conclusion, the believers have been exhorted to the effect that just as the disciples of the Prophet Jesus had helped him in the cause of Allāh, so should they also become "helpers of Allāh", so that they too are blessed with the same kind of good pleasure and approval of Allāh as had been the believers before them against the disbelievers NameThe Surah derives its name from the sentence yuqatiluna fi sabil-i-hi saff-an of verse 4; thereby implying that it is a Surah in which the word saff occurred. Theme and Subject MatterIts theme is to exhort the Muslims to adopt sincerity in Faith and to struggle with their lives in the cause of Allāh. It is addressed to the Muslims with weak faith as well as those who had entered Islam with a false profession of the Faith and also those who were sincere in their profession. Some verses are addressed to the first two groups, some only to the hypocrites, and some only to the sincere Muslims. The style itself shows where one particular group has been addressed and where the other.
The Muslim world is in the month of Ramadan (Mar. 22 -Apr. 20, 2023). This episode hopes to open your eyes to the strategic time of opportunity to share Jesus with your Muslim friends, coworkers, fellow students, and neighbors. Muslims are especially sensitized to pursue spiritual things during this month. They need to know more about their "Prophet" Jesus. They are more open to reading the New Testament (their Injil) to learn more. Your testimony, presented with sensitivity and loving concern for Christ's sake may bring fruit, by God's grace, in their coming to faith in Jesus. May it be so.
Foretelling or Forthtelling? Foretelling · This is the common wester view of prophecy. It's usually about predicting the future. It's all about telling future events. o Even when dealing with future events, often it was about what would happen if Israel didn't turn back to God. Much of forthtelling conditional. · When we examine the prophetic writings in scripture we see that the vast majority of all prophecy is directed at the present and not at the future… It's not foretelling- it's forthtelling o Obviously there's some foretelling in the prophets of the future- Of Jesus o How much of prophetic ministry today is about the future if Jesus has come? Forthtelling (Or exhortation) · This is simply speaking forth God's word and encouraging others to follow it. · This is different from teaching/preaching as it is revelation from God into present situations. It is not exposition of the scripture but the exhortation should never contradict scripture. In the OT the prophets were mainly covenant enforcers rather than ones who looked into a crystal ball and saw the future (divination?) · The main point of OT prophecy was about calling God's people back into covenant faithfulness and the same is true for those today who have the gift of prophecy. Revelation 19:10b- For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. · The spirit of prophecy today should be about bring the church back into the way of Jesus and reflect his testimony as the faithful witness- PROPHECY ALWAYS POINTS TO JESUS Prophetic ministry in the OT The main things the OT prophets were concerned with was righteousness and justice in their forthtelling. Right relationships with God and others with is both about the moral, spiritual, and social aspects of life. They were covenant enforcers and the covenant framed the social and spiritual life of the community. Prophetic ministry in the NTJohn the baptist was not only calling for righteousness and holiness but he's calling people to justice. This is reminiscent of the OT prophets. He's preparing the hearts and lives of the people for Jesus. Philip's Daughters In Acts 21:8-9 we see that Philip the evangelist (one of the 7 deacons from Acts 6) had 4 unmarried daughters who were prophetess'. Agabus Acts 11:28-30 and 21:10-11 He was one who listened to God's voice through the Holy Spirit. Did Agabus get the prophecy right? Later in Acts 21 Paul is at the temple and the Jews start a mob against him and try to kill him. The Romans step in to break it up and arrest Paul. So, Agabus was technically wrong in the details but right in the results. Prophecy in Corinth 1 Cor 14:1-5, 29-33 Jesus as Prophet · Jesus come to break the power of sin and the devil but also to render justice and righteousness. See Luke 4:14-20 when he kicks off his ministry and defines his kingdom in the way Isaiah did above with justice for the powerless. o Mary prophecies of Jesus bringing down thrones and exalting the humble · Moses was considered a prophet and similarly Jesus delivers the kingdom charter on a mountain (Sermon on the mount) as the way to walk as God's people. · Jesus did speak truth to power (in love), he cared about righteousness and justice in the community and called us through example to live in covenant faithfulness to the Father. · Jesus suffered and was martyredSummary · Prophets exhort God's people into Covenant faithfulness (covenant enforcers) · They listen to God's voice and communicate it to the people · They are concerned with justice, righteousness, and holiness · They often suffer for challenging the status quo. · They need to be careful about being a jerk or overly offensive and much of their message is corrective. (often need to watch their tone and make sure to walk in love) · Most of all they are concerned with God's heart and lovingly bringing the community into those things.
Lastly, before we speak about converting to Islam and what you need to know and do after converting, let's quickly go over how our Creator communicates to His servants—to you and me. How would you know your role in life, your true-life purpose, unless you receive clear and practical instructions about God's wants and expectations of you? To glean this knowledge, we have a need for Prophethood and Revelation. God has sent thousands of Messengers and Prophets to humanity to convey His message and communicate with us. Every nation on Earth received a Prophet for this purpose. They all preached the same general message that only one deity is worthy of worship. He is the One and Only God, without a partner, son, daughter, or equal. God sent Messengers and Prophets to guide humanity, to deter them from worshipping created beings in lieu of worshiping their Creator, the Creator of all things. The Prophets taught their people the identity of their Creator, how to build a relationship with Him, and how to love Him. The Prophets taught their people that life is only a test; those who pass will enter Paradise eternally, while those who fail will be subjected to the ultimate punishment in the afterlife. As an extension of His mercy and love, God continued to send Messengers with Books to guide humanity, starting with Prophet Adam and including Noah, Abraham, Ishmael, Jacob, Moses, Jesus, and Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon them all. Many of the Prophets are mentioned in Jewish and Christian traditions. All previous Messengers and Books, other than the Holy Quran and Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, were sent only to those specific groups of people intended to receive the message and were meant to be followed only for a particular period. For example, Prophet Jesus, peace be upon him, was one of God's mightiest Messengers, who was sent down with the same general message as the previous Prophets, but he was sent to speak to only the Children of Israel—the nation where he resided, that existed before us—as their final Prophet because they were disobeying the commandments of God and veering away from the laws sent down by the previous Messenger, Moses, peace be upon him. Whenever God sent Messengers with Revelations, people would distort and change the Revelations after they were passed. What originated as pure Revelation from God would be polluted with the words of men, myths, superstitions, irrational philosophical ideologies, and idol worship. Just like how Prophet Jesus PBUH was sent to revise the previous message sent before him by the Messenger Moses PBUH, Prophet Muhammad PBUH came to reform Prophet Jesus' Message, as it had been distorted by his people and did not survive in its original form.When humanity existed in the depth of the Dark Ages, God the Almighty sent his last and final Messenger to humankind—Prophet Muhamad, peace be upon him—and his final Revelation, the Holy Quran, to redeem humanity. The Holy Quran and the final Messenger affirmed everything revealed to the previous Messengers.
You are obligated to believe in all inspired Books that God has sent to humanity, as delivered through His Prophets. Every Prophet received Inspiration from God. The Arabic word for Inspiration or Revelation is "Wahi" which has several meanings. Wahi means an idea or something revealed or written, commandment, suggestion, to point out something, or to send a message. Inspiration or Revelation comes to God's Human Prophets directly or through an intermediary of the Angel, Gabriel, who brings Revelation to them.God's Books contain His Speech, His Message to you and to humanity, which include His commandments, prohibitions, exhortations, stories, parables, reminders, descriptions of Himself and His Attributes, descriptions of the afterlife, Heaven and Hell, the purpose of life, the creation of the Universe, Worship, Piety, morals, manners, the importance of being kind to one's parents, and much more. These Books seek to guide you through every aspect of your life. God's Books act as a guide, an instructional manual on how to live your life. God, in a high manifestation of His Mercy, Compassion, and Love, sent Books to teach and guide humanity. "...Your Lord is the possessor of vast Mercy..." (Qur'an 6:147)Islam counts as an article of faith, the belief in all of God's Books in their original, pure form."Say, [O believers], 'We have believed in Allah and what has been revealed to us and what has been revealed to Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the Descendants and what was given to Moses and Jesus and what was given to the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and we are Muslims [in submission] to Him.'" (Quran 2:136)The Old and New Testaments present today are not the Revelations sent with Prophet Moses and Prophet Jesus, peace be upon them. The present-day Old and New Testaments have been altered by men and contain mixtures of human-made ideas and innovations that have corrupted their current state. Whereas these Books may still contain some remaining traces of truth, they do not stand in their original revealed form. God warns in his final Testament, the Holy Quran:"So, woe to those who write the 'scripture' with their own hands, then say,' This is from Allah,' to exchange it for a small price. Woe to them for what their hands have written and woe to them for what they earn." (Quran 2:79) When previous Holy Scriptures were altered and corrupted by human hands, God in his Mercy, enlisted his last Revelation, the Holy Quran. God has taken it upon Himself to safeguard and protect his final Book to humanity from human-made alterations or corruption. The Holy Quran is the only scripture in its original language and words today. Not one letter of the Holy Quran has been changed since its Revelation. The Holy Quran is meant to serve and teach all people until the end of time. Everything in the Holy Quran is truth, with no evidence of contradictions or falseness, and it will remain so for eternity.Muslims believe that the Holy Quran abrogates all previous Scriptures before it, meaning it cancels the rulings of earlier scriptures and renders them inapplicable going forward since the preceding scriptures were meant for earlier nations and not for us. In his infinite wisdom, God did not feel fit to send down the Holy Quran for previous nations. As the Creator of the World and everything it contains, God knows who would understand and who would not. Although different revelations came down to various Prophets and nations, the general Message had always remained the same: To worship God Alone and to follow his Commandments.
The first article of faith in Islam is the belief in the Oneness of God. Faith begins with believing in Allah, the Glorious, from which all other facets of Faith spring. You must adhere to and acknowledge that no deity is worthy of your worship, love, subservience, hope, and fear other than Allah. Nothing in existence is worthy of your ultimate loyalty and sacrifice nor worth lowering your head in prostration or humility, except for Allah, the Creator of All. Islam is monotheistic, believing that there is only One God and He is the only One worthy of worship. The idea of multiple gods is rejected in Islam, as is highlighted many times throughout the Qur'an. "They have certainly disbelieved who say, 'Allah is the third of three,' And there is no god except one God. And if they do not desist from what they are saying, there will surely afflict the disbelievers among them a painful punishment." (Quran 5:73) The most severe sin in Islam is known as shirk, which translates to the concept of ascribing a partner to Allah. The term also encompasses attributing divine qualities to any other besides Allah. Shirk is the only sin that God does not forgive if a person dies before repenting.The Christian belief that Jesus is the son of God, or God himself, is an example of shirk. The belief in the concept of the Trinity— the father, son, and holy spirit—is a grave sin in Islam. Allah states in the Holy Quran that on the Day of Judgment, Prophet Jesus, peace be upon him, will deny ever asking people to worship him instead of God or along with God:"And remember when Allah will say on the Day of Resurrection: 'O 'Jesus, son of Mary! Did you say unto men: 'Worship me and my mother as two gods besides Allah?' 'He will say: 'Glory be to You! It was not for me to say what I had no right to say. Had I said such a thing, You would surely have known it. You know what is in my inner-self though I do not know what is in Yours, truly, You, only You, are the All-Knower of all that is hidden and unseen." (Quran 5:116) God is the One to whom worship is due. He is the Creator, Provider, and Sustainer of everything. He is the Supreme, the Eternal. God has no father nor mother, no son or daughter, no partner nor equal. He is All-Knowing, All-Seeing, All-Hearing, All-Powerful, and Most-Merciful. It is He who gives life and causes death. It is He who is Unique in His Names and Attributes. Everything in this world and everything it contains, the whole universe, including you and me, belong to the One God. We use the phrases "my hand," "my house," and "my money," but it all belongs to God."To Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the Earth. Whether you show what is within yourselves or conceal it, Allah will bring you to account for it. Then He will forgive whom He wills and punish whom He wills, and Allah is over all things competent." (Quran 2:284)
In this thought-provoking podcast, we reflect on the story of Prophet Jesus (Isa) son of Maryam and how people ignored him despite seeing his miracles and signs. We draw parallels to the current time and question how it is possible that even after seeing the signs of Imam Mahdi (AS), some people will still not accept him. Through the Socratic method of questioning, we analyze the reasons behind this phenomenon and discuss how we can prepare ourselves for the arrival of Imam Mahdi (AS). We take a journey back in time to the dark and oppressive era for the people of Israel and learn how Prophet Jesus challenged the practices that were against the true teachings of God. Despite his message of hope and redemption, the ruling class was threatened and incited the Romans to capture him and crucify him. We learn that Allah didn't destroy the nation but picked Prophet Jesus for the later days. We draw inspiration from the story of Prophet Jesus and understand that no matter how many signs of Allah we see, it is up to us to follow them and make a difference in the world. We must be the ones to take action and not wait for others to make the change. Let us prepare ourselves for the arrival of Imam Mahdi (AS) and strive to be among those who support him from the start.

The Islamic Prayer is a ritual that has been unchanged for more than 1400 years and is repeated five times a day by hundreds of millions of people all around the globe. Earlier Prophets and Messengers also performed the Salah prayer, in which the act of prostration was involved. According to the Gospel of Mathew, Prophet Jesus, peace be upon him, fell with his face to the ground and prayed: 'Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed: 'My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Not as I will, but as you will" (Mathew 26:39)

Prophet Jesus, undeniably one of the greatest prophets which Allāh had sent to guide humanity managed to bring countless people back to Allāh, after having many people of the Children of Israel deviate. However his greatest sign would be to introduce the final Prophet, Muhammad - or as he would refer to him, Ahmad. Why is the final messenger introduced as Ahmad and not Muhammad and what was the reaction to Prophet Jesus and his call to the final messenger of Allāh? In this episode we review the invitation of Prophet Jesus to Islam and Prophet Muhammad.
Hebrews 6:19-20; 7:23-25 3 major offices among the people of Israel in OT Prophet spoke God's word to the people Priest offered sacrifices prayers and praises to God on behalf of the people King ruled over the people as God's representative All 3 foreshadowed Christ's own work in different ways; he fulfills these offices: 1. As a PROPHET Jesus reveals God to us He speaks God's words to us to you through faithful preaching "How are they to believe in him [of] whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching?" – Romans 10:14 2. As a KING: Jesus rules over the church Jesus rules over the universe. "[God] raised [Christ] from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion. . . . And he put all things under his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church." Ephesians 1:20-22 3.

God appoints a Messenger to carry His Message to the people. The message that the Messenger brings is known as Revelation, the Divinely-inspired words of God. God's Revelation consists of information about God and his Attributes, including His guidelines, teachings, miracles, stores of past prophets, nations, lessons, and more. God's Revelation also includes prophecies of future events that will happen before Judgment Day, occurring as signs for us to know that Judgment Day is near and that the Revelation came from God. Some Revelation includes prophecies of new Prophets yet to come. Prophet Muhammad PBUH is prophesied in the Scriptures of most if not all major world religions, including the Old Testament and the New Testament. Before the arrival of Prophet Muhammad PBUH, the Jews and Christians of Arabia were awaiting an unlettered Prophet to revive Prophet Abraham PBUH's religion. Early records of Jews and Christians, from rabbis to monks, witnessed and recognized that Prophet Muhammad PBUH represented the fulfillment of a prophecy stated in their Book. "And when there came to them a Book from Allah, which confirms what was with them- while earlier, they used to seek help against those who disbelieved - yet when there came to them that which they did recognize, they denied it. So the curse of Allah is upon the disbelievers" (Quran 2:89) The coming of Prophet Muhammad PBUH is prophesied in the Old Testament in several passages. God, the Almighty, speaks to Prophet Moses PBUH: I will raise up for them a Prophet like you from among their brethren; I will put my words in his mouth, and he will tell them everything I command him. (Deuteronomy 18:18) This verse states that God will send down another Prophet similar to Prophet Moses PBUH. Who is this Prophet to which this verse is referencing? Christians mistakenly believe that this prophecy refers to Jesus Christ because of his similarity to the Prophet Moses PBUH. They were both Jews and Prophets. However, if one looks at only these two criteria, then all of the Prophets of the Bible who came after the Prophet Moses PBUH, such as Prophet Isiah, Daniel, Joel, etc., would fulfill this prophecy since they reigned as both Jews and Prophets. In actuality, this verse references Prophet Muhammad PBUH, who came after Prophet Moses and Prophet Jesus PBUT. As the verse states, Prophet Muhammad PBUH is like Prophet Moses PBUH because both had fathers and mothers. Of course, Prophet Jesus PBUH had no father. According to the Bible, both Prophets were married and had children, whereas Prophet Jesus PBUH did not marry nor have offspring. Both Prophet Mahammad and Moses PBUT died natural deaths, whereas Prophet Jesus PBUH was raised to the Heavens by God. Both Prophet Muhammad and Moses PBUT were accepted as Prophets by their people in their lifetimes, while Prophet Jesus PBUH was rejected and not accepted by his people. Both Prophet Muhammad and Prophet Moses PBUT were statesmen who governed their people, wielding power to inflict capital punishment. They were political and military leaders, whereas Prophet Jesus PBUH was not. Both Prophet Muhammad and Prophet Moses PBUT came with new laws and regulations for their people, while Prophet Jesus PBUH did not come with a new law. He came only to confirm and renew the law of the previous Prophet, Moses PBUH, according to Mathew 5:17. Both Prophet Muhammad and Prophet Moses PBUT began their prophethood at the age of forty, while Jesus Christ initiated his at thirty. These are only a few similarities between Prophet Muhammad and Prophet Moses PBUT. They have a lot more in common than Prophet Jesus and Prophet Moses PBUH. The same verse also states that the Prophet shall be among their brethren to come. Deuteronomy 34:10 says the awaited Prophet will not be a Jew of ethnic origin and will come fr
How would one know their role and life purpose unless one received clear and practical instructions as to what God wants and expects of them? Thus comes the need for Prophethood. God has sent thousands of Messengers and Prophets to humanity to convey His Message and communicate to us. Every nation on Earth has received a Prophet. They all preached the same general message that there is only one deity worthy of worship, and we should follow His commandments. He is the One and Only God, without a partner, son, daughter, or equal. God sent Messengers and Prophets to guide humanity away from worshipping created beings and toward worshipping Him, the Creator of all things. Prophets came to teach their people who their Creator is, how to build a relationship with Him, and how to love Him. These Prophets taught their people that life is only a test; the successful will enter Paradise eternally, while the unsuccessful will undergo the ultimate punishment in the Hereafter. God sent Messengers with Revelation to humanity to guide them, starting with the Prophet Adam, including Noah, Abraham, Ishmael, Jacob, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad PBUT. Due to God's Love and Mercy, He began to guide humanity as soon as He created Adam and Eve PBUH. He instructed them to worship Him alone, the one and only God, and not worship His creation. He ordered them to submit fully to Him. Later, this message was given to the rest of the Messengers and Prophets of God to deliver to their people. The practice of fully submitting to God, which the Prophets taught, is Islam. Islam, by definition, means the act of submitting to God. A Muslim, by definition, is "someone who submits himself to God." Anyone who submits to God is called a Muslim. "He has ordained for you of religion what He enjoined upon Noah and that which We have revealed to you, [O Muhammad], and what We enjoined upon Abraham and Moses and Jesus - to establish the religion and not be divided therein..." (Quran 42:13) Many of the Prophets are found in the Jewish and Christian traditions. Whenever God sent Messengers with Revelation, people distorted and changed the Revelation of God after they passed. What was once pure Revelation from God was polluted with the words of historians, scholars, random people, superstitions, irrational philosophical ideologies, and idol worship and included many malicious inserts and deletions throughout time, done for the person's own agenda and political and financial gain. Whenever people distorted the Message of God and His Revelation, God sent another Messenger or Prophet to reform or renew His Message out of His infinite Mercy. Jesus Christ was sent to reform the previous message sent by the Prophet before him, Prophet Moses PBUH, as Prophet Moses' Message was distorted after his departure. Jesus Christ is quoted in the Bible as saying, Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. (Matthew 5:17). Just like how Jesus Christ was sent to reform the message of the Prophet before him, Prophet Muhammad PBUH came to reform Prophet Jesus' Message because it had been too distorted by people after his departure and did not survive in its original form. Because God will not be sending any more Revelations and Messengers to humanity, Prophet Muhammad PBUH and God's final Revelation, the Holy Quran, is meant for all humanity until the last day. All previous Messengers and Books other than the Holy Quran and the Prophet Muhammad PBUH were sent to only a specific group of people and were meant to be followed for a particular period; they had expiration dates. For example, Prophet Jesus PBUH was one of God's mightiest Messengers, sent down with the same general Message of all previous Prophets but only to the Children of Israel—the nati
Before moving forward, it is imperative to know the basic similarities and differences between each of the three Abrahamic religions—the world's three biggest religions. They are Islam, Christianity, and Judaism. All three religions consider themselves monotheistic faiths, as they all claim to worship one God. While Muslims and Jews are indeed strict monotheists worshipping one God as a single, indivisible entity, Christians, on the other hand, while thinking they are monotheists worshipping one God, are not, as they believe in the Trinity. Christians claim they believe in one God represented by or manifests himself in three persons. They claim they do not believe in three individual Gods; instead, they think they believe in one God who manifests himself through different identities, roles, and images: the Father in the Heavens, the Son, Jesus Christ, who came down in human form as the savior, and the Holy Spirit, the Counselor. Christians believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and God Himself. They believe that Jesus Christ has a divine and created nature. They also believe that each of these personas in the Trinity equally co-exists as God and that each of these entities is eternal and all-powerful. They do not think that each is a separate entity; instead, they believe that God the Father is the God, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. This, of course, is a contradiction; common logic dictates that there cannot be three Gods at the same time as there is one God. It is either one or three, as one and three are not the same. Prophets are to be loved and respected, but no form of worship is directed toward them, nor are they treated as demi-gods or intermediaries between humanity and God. Christians appointed Jesus Christ to divine heights he was not entitled to, which eventually became the dominant Christian belief. Jesus Christ was a mighty messenger sent from God, but he was only a mortal human. He was born to a mother; he ate and drank, slept, and used the bathroom; he suffered pain and emotions. This differentiates him from God the Almighty, as God does not need to eat, sleep, or drink. The Prophet Jesus' mission was to confirm the Torah previously sent, make certain things lawful to ease the lives of the Children of Israel, and proclaim and re-affirm the belief in One God. He was only the servant and slave of God. The Trinity—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit—and the concept that Jesus died for our sins are firmly rejected in Islam. Just like Muslims believe that Jesus Christ was only a created human Prophet sent by God, Muslims believe the Prophet Muhammad PBUH was also a mortal human prophet sent by God after Jesus Christ. Prophet Muhammad PBUH is separate and distinct from Allah (God). God is eternal and immortal; He never had a beginning and was never created. All the powers that Jesus Christ is said to have had were given to him by God. On the other hand, God's Attributes and Powers were not given to Him; they were within Him all along. God's Attributes and powers never knew a beginning, nor will they ever have an ending. He has always been, and will always be, All-Knowing, All-Mighty, All-Powerful. God hears everything from the buzz of a mosquito's wing to the eruption of volcanoes. All His Attributes are infinite. The three religions worship the same God. The God in the Heavens that Christians worship and refer to as the Father is the same God worshipped by Muslims and Jews. Muslims use Allah to refer to God: Allah translates to God. Allah is not a foreign God, nor does He bear a foreign name. Allah, instead, is the semantic term for God. Regardless of this, some people harbor the mistaken belief that Muslims worship a different God than Christians and Jews and that Allah is the God of the Arabs or the Muslims. This is far from the truth. The word Allah is an Arabic name connoting the Almighty God. Arabic-speaki
