Tell me what you think about this famous letter written by Prophet Muhammad?
Prophet Muhammad’s (saws) Message to the Monks of St. Catherine’s Monastery ”This is a message written by Muhammad ibn Abdullah, as a covenant to those who adopt Christianity, far and near, we are behind them. Verily, I defend them by myself, the servants, the helpers, and my followers, because Christians are my citizens; and by Allah! I hold out against anything that displeases them. No compulsion is to be on them. Neither are their judges to be changed from their jobs, nor their monks from their monasteries. No one is to destroy a house of their religion, to damage it, or to carry anything from it to the Muslims' houses. Should anyone take any of these, he would spoil God's covenant and disobey His Prophet. Verily, they (Christians) are my allies and have my secure charter against all that they hate. No one is to force them to travel or to oblige them to fight. The Muslims are to fight for them. If a female Christian is married to a Muslim, this is not to take place without her own wish. She is not to be prevented from going to her church to pray. Their churches are to be respected. They are neither to be prevented from repairing them nor the sacredness of their covenants. No one of the nation is to disobey this covenant till the Day of Judgment and the end of the world.”

It is correct to say he was illiterate. The letter was his message to the Christians, and was dictated to the writer with his words.

Mohammad was a false prophet, for he claimed some things were different than what is recorded in the Bible. Since the specific portions of the Five Books of Moses were dictated, letter-for-letter to Moses by God, ANY contradictions between the Torah and Mohammad are evidence Mohammad was a false prophet. Therefore, NOTHING Mohammad said is to be trusted.
Dt. 18:15-19 A true prophet of G-d must be obeyed. Dt 18:20 But he who speaks a word in G-d's name which G-d did not say is a false prophet. Dt 13:2-4 the "prophet" who gives signs and wonders which do come to pass, as "evidence" of his message, which message disagrees with what we have already heard from G-d, is a false prophet. Or who Dt 18:22 gives a prophecy that fails to come to pass or who Dt 18:20 speaks a word in the name of a false god is a false prophet. Dt. 18:22 Don't fear the false prophet. Dt. 13:6 Put him to death. Dt. 13:9 Don't pity him; surely kill him.
Dude, discover ways to puctuate. Then attempt some paragraph breaks. I additionally discovered it thrilling that the Qur'an says, "the mark of them (the truthful Muslims) would be on their foreheads from their bowing in prostration." Shi'ite Imams proudly placed on little black bruises on their foreheads. additionally, the biographers of Muhammad say "Gabriel" got here to Muhammad on a white horse. yet i do no longer think of Islam is properly the international's quickest becoming faith. Muslims desire to declare that because of the fact they think of it lends credibility to their faith, yet I even have on no account seen something to checklist it, different than perhaps severe beginning expenditures in Muslim-majority international places. genuinely, i think of Islam is a house of enjoying cards. whilst Muslims easily examine what's interior the Qur'an and what Muhammad easily did, they understand they have been lied to all their lives. The Qur'an includes verses giving Muhammad and his adult males the main staggering to rape the girls they capture of their battles (Sura 4, verse 24 and Sura 33 verse 50). Muhammad devoted a bloodbath against the Jews in Medina who'd been dwelling there for hundreds of years before he got here. After he and his adult males moved to Medina, they made their dwelling by way of banditry. The Qur'an says to slay the polytheists whereever you come across them, and take them captive, and lay for them each and every ambush (Sura 9, verse 5). enable them to bypass on condition that they convert (Sura 9, verse 6). slightly sunlight is all it relatively is going to take for Islam to alter into the international's quickest-shrinking faith. maximum of them do no longer spend lots time examining, however, that's why Islam nonetheless exists in any respect.
Nice idea. Now explain why it is being ignored so much in present day society. It obviously wasn't in the past or sects like the copts woudl not have survived but this tolerance now seems to be gone,
I think it's a shame such an ignorant and superstitious person rose to power by nature of his religious rantings (and military campaigns), and that the ones who came after him ignored what little was "good" in his writings and went around killing anyone who wouldn't convert to Islam anyway.
It confirms that Muslims were very tolerant in the past. That is what is so sad about the intolerance that is happening now. ALL people should strive to defend the rights of ALL others.
