Muslims, why do you say you recognize all prophets…?

Muslims often claim Islam recognizes all prophets and condemn Christianity and Judaism for not doing so, but Islam does not recognize the prophets of the Bahai and Druze religions, even though they recognize Muslim, Christian and Jewish prophets!

How do you explain that double standard?

    They have been told by their leader that he is the last and no other will follow.

    Funny. I thought that prophets were sent when the earth required them most. If a prophet was required this would be the time when communication and transport is easier and the world is ready to drop nukes at each other.

    But then it is an age old trick to ensure ones continuity by telling your followers that no one else is going to follow you.

    I'm no expert on Bahai or Druze, so I won't answer that, but I don't think they are religions sent from God. I will say that Islam believes in all prophets that the Christians and Jews believe in. I believe that a major part of this has to do with history and time period, because look at Chistianity for example; they believe in the same prophets as the Jews, and more up to Jesus (and yes muslims DO believe in this prophet). The Torah was given to Moses, and a few centuries later, the Bible to Jesus, and for Islam, a few centuries more the Koran to Muhammad. And i will say that Islam does not encourage muslims to express any negative feeling torward other religions.

    Just my point of veiw :)

    Because they are confused and don't even know what their belief teaches. They don't recognize the true prophets of Christianity or Judaism, especially all the prophetesses. They also add in prophets that don't exist in Judaism or Christianity. Jesus is the Messiah, not a prophet. The prophets foretold of His arrival and Jesus fulfilled the prophesies. They don't even understand who the Messiah is!

    Ignorance and deceit are the reasons for the double standard.

    Muslims do not recognize all profits! They refuse to recognize many Jewish profits, and they wrongly state that Jesus is a profit! Jesus is god! Not a profit! Even the Jews admit that the messiah is comming, they too believe he will be god! The only difference is Christians believe he already came-Jesus! So how do Muslims justify that!

    guys relax

    prophets have miracles not every one in the modern history can claim he is a prophet only when he bends rules of physics and have no background

    next we believe in what god told us to believe in we are not cooking this in the kitchen

    it has no purpose to us but recognition is an obligation of being a Muslim, it is one god after all

    prophet Mohammed is the last and he had many miracles check the link

    http://sunnah.org/history/miracles_of_Prophet.htm

    but his miracle that continues after he died is the quran for all earth to see prophecies of the minor signs of the end of time all came true

    i will not ask you to believe in islam and Mohammed it is your call

    but i will only ask you to consider the possibility that may be we are right and start from there

    its exactly what you say it is... a double standard. all religions have them. and all religions are myths that have been taken as truth over the years. added to or modified in such ways as to benefit whosever political agenda at the given time. every religion is false in particular monotheistic religions.

    we don't recognize any prophet who came after prophet Muhammad he's the last prophet in our belief this a rule in our religion ,just like Jews they don't believe in Solomon and David as prophets (they are prophets in Islam) because they came after after prophet Moses every religion has its own rules and i don't care if you believe in all prophets or not... , so you want us to believe in anyone who says i'm prophet !! does this make sense to you??

    The prophet Muhammad (saw) have said 'There won't be neither a new 'Revealation' (Book) nor any prophets after me'. (From hadith).

    Jesus and Moses were prophets b4 Prophet Muhammad [saw).

    we recognize all REAL prophets, not false prophets.

    the ones we don't believe in are false.

    and we never claimed to believe in FALSE prophets.
