The Prophet Muhammad - Who is Muhammad

Muhammad (peace be upon him) was an illiterate, but wise and well-respected man who was born in Makkah in the year 570 C.E., at a time when Christianity was not yet fully established in Europe. His first years were marked by the deaths of his parents. Since his father died before his birth, his uncle, Abu Talib, from the respected tribe of Quraysh, raised him. As Muhammad (pbuh) grew up, he became known for his truthfulness, generosity and sincerity, so that he was sought after for his ability to arbitrate in disputes. His reputation and personal qualities also led to his marriage, at the age of twenty-five, to Khadijah, a widow whom he had assisted in business. Thenceforth, he became an important and trusted citizen of Makkah. Historians describe him as calm and meditative.

Man of peace blah blah wisdom blah blah only religion worthwhile blah blah....same as all the rest.



Bring back Odin.

There is no God. Just fear of death.

So are we living with no reason??

I have to admit I’m a little ignorant when it comes to Islam, but then again I’m ignorant to most religions. I suspect that there are many people in the Islamic world that know very little about Christianity. We only see Islam in a bad light these days, and I expect Christianity is viewed in a bad way in the Islamic world.

ram a lam a ding dong

Hey now there's an idea lets introduce myself to the board by preaching! I hope this is your last ever post!

We are living because we were born.

It's not as if it's a point of discussion...it's just basically spam.

But what about after we die? It is Heaven for those who have repented and accepted Christ as their personal Saviour and Hell for those who have not. Jesus is the only way to Heaven.

Hello again Bob. Here to save our souls again?

There is no God, heaven or hell. You are deluded.

oh your back

yeah I agree with you but also because there is a god who made us, who made the earth the sky the stars the planets
think about it man !!

I know there is a bad reputation about islamic culture these deys. however what happens now is really sad and disappointing for the real muslims because this has nothing to do with islam. I am a real muslim and I know what the prophet Muhammad peace be upon him said that the real muslim is the person who don't annoy anybody with his hands or even with his tongue.

On the other side, we love Jesus exactly like Muhammad. ( peace be upon them all)

good for you.



nowdays it seems that only extreemists voice is heard from Islam, and the rest are silent

so can you tell us more about your view of Islam?

hello ai21

yes,
I can tell you a lot about my view of Islam as I am a normal Muslim person.
One important thing is that Islam is a religion of life not a religion of death as many people may think.

The muslims i dislike are the ones with the Ak47s and Suicide Bomb Belts...

This should be good..Bob123 Vs bu_hamdan



Lets play fair, they say the same thing about our B52s and smart bombs.

who killed more than 200,000 people by one bomb in Japan?!
who are killing children and women every day in Palestine?!
If the Muslims are defining to save their homes are terrorists and the others are killing people in people's homes and they are not terrorists????!!

please have a look on this link
killing and destroing by the Israeli in palestine

Who made God then?

this is much bigger than our imagination because we are not god we are people.

But you believe everything in a book which was written by men & then ask people like myself to believe it also, without proof, reason or logic. Then, when asked the question "who made God" you are unable to answer because it doesn't say in your book. I thought Holy books were supposed to have all the answers?

As you say, you are unable to imagine anything beyond your book, therefore it has stunted your thought processes as all religions do.

ok my friend I will tell you a very little story and I want to ask you at the end will you believe it or not ok?

if I told you that last night I was sitting in the desert and I watch a ship which belt it self step by step until it becomes a very big ship and it moves to the sea.

will you believe me?

I don't understand your question. What is belting step by step?

I suspect Bu has a poor grasp of the english language, this we have to tolerate, but I'm sure if he continues to talk he/she will improve, on this matter there is "wiggle room" I'm sure.

Would the word "built" fit where he/she has used belt?

i just say i only mentioned Muslims as this was the topic,

Right who let companies conquer land for Britain? Britain

Who is the only contry to use atomic warfare? USA

Who used Chemical weapons on native people? Italy, French, UK,

Right balanced debate now

OK bu, if you meant to say"a ship which built it self step by step until it becomes a very big ship and it moves to the sea". Then no I wouldn't believe you.

Then how do you believe that all of this organization in the universe has no god to control it?

The laws of physics on the atomic level are well established and proven, there's no "control" needed.

Saying "God does it all" is just a way of admitting you do not understand or are incapable of understanding the physical universe.


And while I'm typing, I think I'll mention the fact that although you (and any Islamic we talk to) says Islam is a religion of peace, I spent an hour last night deleting postings from someone claiming to be Islamic, that showed Islamics REVELING in the fact they were killing people. I spend a lot of time on the internet, and the number of religious types that all claim to be men of peace (both USA and Arabic), yet advocate mass killings in the name of God truly amazes me.

When personal political agendas crop up, God suddenly becomes someone who loves you killing the enemy.
Unless I'm mistaken (feel free to correct me) does Islam not say that you should kill me as I am a non-believer and an infidel?

I think I'll go and find the relevant text that says I'm not to be classed as human.

I said it before Islam is a religion of life not a religion of death.

Yet it says I must convert or die?

And why was the first few hundred years consumed by warfare?

In Dubai where I am actually from, more than 50% of the people are non Muslims in Dubai city.
they are living like the normal people. So you are wrong my friends.

Just a normal person here well as normal as a scot can be could anyone here tell me how 2 words that are so far apart can be put together to make a terrable word HOLY WAR
I GUESS ONLY MAN CAN COME UP WITH THAT NOT A GOD
I THINK THAT ANYONE THAT COULD EVEN FOR A SECOND THINK IT IS OK SHOULD bow to the mods


THATS MADE MY DAY

very swift move from defending Islam to defending those who kill in the name of Islam,
and THAT is the major reason why muslims got such a bad rep.

Islam does indeed preach for many good stuff,
problem is, in reality - those things get ignored, and people do what they want (and claim that is Islam)
and that's why moderates shouldspeak out.

so - instead of defending any muslim, ignoring whatever atrocities made - stop treating Islam like a soccer team.
and tell us of the good things you see in Islam.
if you can't think of any - I'll give you some pointers...

...and there you have it in a nutshell Bu. You believe that Allah is God and that Mohammed was his prophet for one reason and one reason only.....because you were born in a Muslim country with Muslim parents. Had you been born in a Christian country, like bob123/Eric was, you would be proclaiming that the Christian god is the only true god and that Jesus Christ is his son. Had you been born in India you would be proclaiming the truth of the Bhagavad Gita rather than the Qur'an and telling us that we should all accept Brahma. You see Bu, religion has nothing to do with 'truth'.....it's all to do with geography.

But you'll never get him/them to follow such blinding logic. The indoctrination is usually too deep rooted.

Hmmm Buddhism is quite liberal.

Britain is not a"Christian country"; it is a "Post Christian country". I believed in Christ as my Lord and Saviour because God, by His Holy Spirit, opened my eyes to the truth. It has nothing to do with geography.

It has everything to do with geography. If you had been born in India with Hindu parents you would believe that Brahma is your lord and saviour. Had you been born in Iraq with Muslim parents you would believe that Allah is your lord and saviour and that Jesus was nothing more than a 'prophet'.

If you don't believe that then answer this question (I know that answering questions is not your strong point Eric...it never has been but please try).

Q. If you were Hindu at this moment, what in Christianity would make you reject the Bhagavad Gita which, as a Hindu, you would accept as 100% 'truth' and chose the Bible instead?

i think if Brahman came down and commanded him.

It has nothing to do with geography. There are people all over the world who accept Jesus as their personal Saviour. This includes people in Muslim countries.

Answer to question: if I wanted the assurance of eternal life then Jesus is the only one who can give this as He rose from the dead. He is the only and exclusive way to Heaven.

....and people in Christian countries accept Allah, Brahma and a host of other gods so what's your point.

"Islam is peace"

HQ: Yeah right.

In Dubai if a Muslim converted to another religion what would happen to him/her?

My point is that people choose their religion because they want to. There are many in this so called Christian country who choose to follow non Christian religions - so if a person is a Christian (that is, they have repented and accepted Jesus as their personal Saviour) it has nothing to do with geography.

But what if the person can repent but CANNOT accept Christ due to domestic pressures (death threats if he does)?

You have raised a vaild point. There are Muslims who want to accept Christ but are afraid of savage persecution if they do. However, there are also "Muslims" who have accepted Christ but, as yet, they have not openly declared their faith due to fear, but have expressed their beliefs privately to a Christian. In the Gospels we read of secret believers - see John 12 v 42.
