Muslims are all prophets equal according to the Quran?

Let me get this clear Muslims ;Jesus was able to raise the dead but unable to raise Himself? Your Quran tells you that?

Jesus did not create life? What does "before Abraham was I am" mean?

Muhammad was not only a messenger like Jesus (A.S) but also a great political leader as well. He is the fonder of Arab Nation and his leadership was the best of its kinds. Even though the leadership of such a great nation was under him, when he died he left nothing of wealth for his family. What a wonderful leader! Under his government, the poor and the rich, the young and the old, the male and the female, the white and the black are the same and equal. All are being treated with justice. His Speech: His speeches remain the best, full of wisdom and love of his people both the poor and the rich. Bellow is an example of his speech: The Last Sermon: " Oh Mankinds! Listen well. I may not be with you much longer. The weak among you feed them on what you eat, bless them as you are blessed. You will meet your God, and He will call you to account for your actions. Let those who are present warn those who are absent. You are all descendent from Adam, and the best among you is he who most regards God. Think deeply about what I say. Let all your fueds be abolished. You most know that every muslim is a brother of every other muslim, and all muslims are brothers one of another . Between muslims there are no races no tribes, nor must you take anything from your brother except what is given freely. Do not oppress and do not be oppressed. Oh my people! I am but a man. It may be that the angel of death will visit me soon, and death will over take me. But i have left you with a book, revealed by God- The Qur'an, which is light..." All prophets are great. they all did their jobs. Muhammad the greatest? Allah knows best.

The Quran clearly states that Jesus didn't die but was taken to heaven by Allah; however you will notice many Muslims here trying to twist the words in the Quran as they normally do. It is impossible to convince Muslims that Jesus is the Messiah and the the greatest of prophets even when their own holy book says so. They don't even believe in their Holy Book; isn't this strange?While Muslims say they honor Jesus as a great prophet, he is hardly ever quoted in the Quran except when Christians are condemned for believing that he was the son of God. Why is this?

Sometimes I am confused about the resurrection; Jesus clearly states "I am the resurrection, I am the life. He who believes in me will never die." Now if Mohammad believed in Isa/Jesus, I doubt that he is in the grave waiting for the resurrection. What do you think?

Good question though...and very interesting responses.

1♦ What does Christ mean? It means that Jesus is coming back to earth and he will die a normal death like ALL Human beings.

2♦Jesus peace be upon him is gonna be Judged just like Mohammad peace be upon him and there is nobody who will enter Paradise or Hell without judgment, and that's the justice of Allah. Quran says that Jesus is gonna be judged too:

♥{And behold! Allah will say: "O Jesus the son of Mary! Didst thou say unto men, worship me and my mother as gods in derogation of Allah.?" He will say: "Glory to Thee! never could I say what I had no right (to say). Had I said such a thing, thou wouldst indeed have known it. Thou knowest what is in my heart, Thou I know not what is in Thine. For Thou knowest in full all that is hidden.}♥ [Quran, 5: 116]

♦Jesus also does not know the unknown/unseen. Here is what he said:

"No one knows, however, when that day or hour will come—neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son; only the Father knows. (Mark 13: 32)

♦As for whether Jesus commit a sin or not, let's see what the Bible says about that:

Matthew 5:22 (New International Version)

"But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother[a]will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to his brother, 'Raca,[b]' is answerable to the Sanhedrin. But anyone who says, 'You fool!' will be in danger of the fire of hell."

==> Matthew 23:13-36 (New International Version)

Said by Jesus:

17 "You blind fools! Which is greater: the gold, or the temple that makes the gold sacred? 18You also say, 'If anyone swears by the altar, it means nothing; but if anyone swears by the gift on it, he is bound by his oath."

====> Wouldn't that be classed as sin according to the previous verse?

♦ How can he create life and he was created himself and he also said:

"I can of my own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not my own will, but the will of the Father who has sent me." (John 5: 30)

♦Remember, the Quran lists another prophet raising the dead: Abraham when he divided a bird into 4 parts and called them and they came together and they became a bird again. Isn't that raising the dead too? But most important of all, they both (Jesus and Abraham did that with the permission of God), Jesus said beside the above quoted verse:

"What I teach is not my own teaching, but it comes from God, who sent me. (John 7: 16)

♦As I said, he is coming back and he will die like the rest of human beings. That's what every Muslim believes in and you also believe he is coming back since you believe he is the Christ.

♦Where in the Quran u read that Jesus is THE GREATEST man ever born? it would be better if you quoted the verse. All I know is that the Holy Quran said nothing like that, and all I know is that Jesus came third after Mohammad peace be upon him and Isaac Newton as the greatest figures in History. In this book, Hart lists the opinions of hundreds of Christian scholars about the greatest man in history and Mohammad peace be upon him was chosen as NUMBER ONE ==> The 100: A Ranking of the Most Influential Persons in History Revised and Updated for the Nineties by Michael H. Hart

Yes, Jesus rose from the dead and was with the disciples and on earth for 40 days before he ascended to heaven in a cloud from the top of Mt. Olivet (The Mount of Olives). Jesus is alive forever more. He IS the Alpha, and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. He is from everlasting to everlasting.

All Prophets are equal. Jesus is in heaven because his message has not been finished yet because of the attempt to kill him. Muhammad finished what he was sent to do.

Sorry, but do not use "quotes" from Jesus to try to convince us about anything.

1. We know they were written many years after his "death" and that there is no possible way they are his words

2. We know that the people who wrote the gospels could not have known him given the fact of how many years between the writings and the life of Jesus

3. We believe most of the Bible has been corrupted by men who have taken things out, put things in and did a poor job translating. Why do you think there are so many versions of the Bible and each says different things and some have versus others don't.

4. Jesus never said he was God or the son of God, not even in the Bible. We believe he was a Prophet not divine.

5. No true believer in Islam would ever convert.

6. Many Muslims here on Yahoo have already left Christianity and do not believe in it which is why they became Muslim in the first place.

7. Deception has no place in our lives.

8. God would never become his own creation, we are way beneath him.

9. God said to be forgiven, all one must do is ask for forgiveness (in the Bible) and try not to commit the sin again!

You won't convert any Muslim using lies.

As for your misguided quotes of the Qur'an, read Think Tanker's post.

You should really try to actually read the Qur'an before trying to come up with lies that can easily be disproven.

As for your claim to Tom, if any Muslim is a true believer, one will never deny the Qur'an is the word of God. So your claim is another lie that we can prove!

edit: @ questioner:

1) Jesus is dead? Where in the Quran do I find this? 4:157 says he was not killed but taken up by Allah

A: I never said Jesus was dead. Do you not see the word "death"? Christians believe Jesus died. Muslims believe Jesus never died.

.

2) If the reason you can't believe the Gospel about Jesus is because thse who wrote the Gospel did not know him personally..which is incorrect..but none the less..this reason you give means you can't trust the Quran either...clearly Muhammad did not personally know Jesus but was 600 years after the ascension.

A: Even your Christian scholars will not hesitate to admit that the Bible has been changed. They do not hesitate to admit they do not even know who wrote the Gospels but it is obvious to them it was written well after Jesus "died". Maybe you should learn a little bit more about the Bible before you start lying about the Qur'an.

3) You answer here also means you can't believe the Quran.. the Quran tells Christians to follow the Gospel and claims to be a continuance of the Gospel they HAVE and says the word of Allah can not be changed.

A: No where in the Qur'an does it tell the Christians to believe in the Gospel. The Qur'an states that the Bible has been corrupted and changed by man. No where in the Qur'an does it state that the Bible is a continuance of a corrupted book.

Mohammed pleaded with God to save him? Bull. Muhammad like all other Prophets had his choice to either day or keep living. Every Prophet (with the exception of Jesus as he is not dead yet) chose to be taken at that moment.

You really need to learn what you are talking about before speaking. Stop relying on Islamophobes to dig up a bunch of lies to try and use.

Where does Qur'an say Muhammad's soul is in a grave?

You are a nut and a liar. So now you are back to being djmantx the Christian huh? You people just never give up your craziness. Allah will punish you soon enough.

Mohommad paid for the crimes he commited before he died. His son's were killed. And a woman poisoned him to death.

well in Islam all Prophets are equal and all were born to send one message but each time people abuse and don't understand him.. so the final prophet was Mohammad that's why we should follow his religion the last created ans sent from Allah.. Quran says Jesus is alive and never been dead or crossed, it was another person on the cross who looked like him so people thought he was dead and came to life again.... God took him alive to him to haven... in the last day of this life (judgment day) everyone will die to be judged in front of Allah :)

Actually Jesus is not going to live for all of eternity he will come back to Earth,stay for the time willed by God then he will too pass away and then we will all be brought back to life for judgement day.

Every soul shall have taste of death; In the end to us shall ye be brought back

.(Surah Al-'Ankabut The Spider 29:57)

He is living all this time because Allah did him a favor and saved him was crusifixion.

all of the prophets are alive in Heaven not only Jesus.

Think not of those who are slain in the Way of Allah as dead. Nay, they are living, with their Lord, and they have provision. Aali ‘Imran (3):169

Moses what the hell are you saying,according to the Quran Jesus is not dead

4:157-158

"And because of their saying: We slew the Messiah Jesus son of Mary, Allah's Messenger -- They slew him not nor crucified, but it appeared so unto them; and lo! those who disagree concerning it are in doubt thereof; they have no knowledge thereof save pursuit of a conjecture; they slew him not for certain, But Allah took him up unto Himself. Allah was ever mighty, wise."

Muhammed(saws) is the greatest of prophets because he got the message clear to all of humity. There is no need for another prophet after him. The Quran is with us today untarnished and clear from error
