Muhammad is supposed to be a prophet, right?
So...what is the prophecy of Muhammad? A prophet has to have a prophecy.
And while we're at it, what were his miracles?
And they have to have been seen by eyewitnesses. Jesus had literally thousands of eyewitnesses at His miracles.
Thanks.
Oh, and the prophecies have to be fulfilled. They can't be general or self-fulfilling, either.
They also have to be confirmed by sources outside the Quran.
@Jamie - Ok, here we go...
1. And what says that? The Quran? Hadiths? I thought so.
2. Quran...
3. Quran...
4. "After his death" - yeah, cause that's not a vague prophecy AT ALL...
5. That was fulfilled by MUHAMMAD'S CALIPHS lol that is self-fulfilling.
6. Again, that was by his followers! If I claimed to be a prophet and prophecised the conquest of New York City, then my followers DARN WELL better conquer it!
7. More details, please...
8. Lol she probably heard about it and rushed to see it. More details, please, on the Constantinople one...
9. This was actually not fulfilled (see link below)
10. Wow, so he got ONE right, which could actually be considered self-fulfilling
Muhammad's unfulfilled prophecies:

Muhammad's miracles:
http://answering-islam.org/Responses/Azmy/mhd_mira...
Jesus's miracles had eyewitnesses, we
re mentioned by historians such as Josephus, and the Bible has a perfect track record. As Dr. Clifford Wilson, former director of the Australian Institute of Archaeology, said, "The Bible is the most accurate history textbook the world has ever seen."
The Bible also has prophecies fulfilled AFTER they were written down.
End times prophecies? LOL. I once saw a list of the Quran's fulfilled prophecies for the end times, and guess what? Every single one was also in the Bible! Lol.
Very good try, though.
@Friday Moon - Let's see...
1) The Old Testament was written up to thousands of years before Jesus was born, and the New Testament was all written before 100 A.D.
2) It has been preserved by Christians and before that the Jews.
3) Yeah, Roman emperors who had converted to Christianity.
4) There were no surnames in the first century AD lol. Matthew and John were two of Jesus's 12 disciples and Mark and Luke were later followers of Him who knew people who had known Jesus.
5) The Masoretic texts and Textus Receptus are what I'm talking about
6) And...?
7) Did you see the word there? *Translation*
8) The book of Isaiah in the Dead Sea Scrolls is identical to the copy we have today, and the 4 Gospels are the only true ones.
9) Verses, please.
10) Paul was a follower of Jesus, as clearly shown in the Bible. Try the book of Acts, for example. And if you don't believe that, Peter, one of Jesus's 12 disciples, mentioned Paul by name and said God had given him wi
sdom.
11) They didn't change the Bible or come up with the Trinity there, if that's what you mean.
@Michael Cullis - Hehe. answering-christianity.com has been proven to be a fallacious site and there is nothing there but conjecture and lies. To balance look at answering-islam.com
Again, there are external sources of Jesus performing miracles, and there are no contradictions in the Bible.
I didn't say His miracles were in the thousands (though they could have been because He healed many people). I said there were thousands of eyewitnesses. And He did not have unfulfilled prophecies.
Yes, Jesus did say there would be another after Him - the Holy Spirit. HE is the Comforter, the Guide, not Muhammad, as Muslims claim lol.
No, the real evidence of prophethood is, according to the Bible, their prophecies coming true and them recognizing Jesus Christ as Lord.
No, Jesus wasn't sent only to Israel: http://www.answering-islam.org/Morin/israel.html
Paul did not found Christianity: http://answering-islam.org/Paul/index.html
Jesus was whipped almost to the point of death just
before being crucified. That is why they had to stop at 39 lashes, because 40 would have killed Him.
Try checking your book:

What about the contradictions in the Quran?

He wasn't even as per islamic scriptures.
MUHAMMAD FOUNDED MOHAMMEDANISM (islam).
#1 Mohammad says in the quran 39:12
YUSUFALI: "And I am commanded to be the first of those who bow to Allah in Islam."
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
#2 MOHAMMAD FAILED THE TEST OF PROPHET HOOD, if muhammad's allah was true, it would have informed him about the poisoned goat, which later led to his death.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Ibn Sa'd page 249: Verily a Jewish woman presented poisoned (meat of) a she goat to the apostle of Allah. He took a piece form it, put it into his mouth, chewed it and threw it away. Then he said to the Companions: "Halt! Verily, its leg tells me that it is poisoned." Then he sent for the Jewish woman and asked her; "What induced you to do what you have done?" She replied, "I wanted to know if you are true; in that case Allah will surely inform you, and if you are a liar I shall relieve the people of you."
**PROPHET HOOD FAILED**: The question here is weather allah told muhammad that the goat is poisoned or not? CLEARLY NOT, as he had to put it in his mouth. Quran says "if you are true; in that case Allah will surely inform you" {muhammad would not eat the goat and he would not die} but because allah NEVER informed him, and muhammad was a liar he ate it and he died, just as the verse says "if you are a liar I shall relieve the people of you."
After all this even if Muhammad knew that it was poisoned, and he still put it (goat) in his mouth, he committed suicide.
And if he came to know after chewing it, its nothing special as anybody would know after they chewed it, no need for special powers.
#3 Mohammedans do not have any supporting evidence to prove mohammad was a prophet (other than he being a self proclaimed prophet, with hallucinations). He has not been mentioned in either of the earlier original texts (Torah/Bible).
#4 Even if we agree that muhammad was illiterate, certain questions come up like, who wrote the quran?, if not muhammad then how did he verify what he was narrating to his biographers or his contemporaries, weather it was exactly what he wanted them to write?
#5 Muhammad forced the Arab moon god allah on everyone. I say this because, mohammad's father, A PAGAN, had the name Abdullah meaning servant of allah much before mohammad had his "revelations"
#6 Muhammad was called a liar
Muhammad informed Umar [the second Caliph], and he called the Prophet a liar. Ishaq:567.
#7 Muhammad broke oaths as he wished and advised mohammedans to do the same
If you ever take an oath to do something and later on you find that something else is better, then you should expiate your oath and do what is better." Sahih Bukhari 9:89:260
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
#8 Mohammad being a false prophet did not perform any miracle.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
The Qur'an very clearly says of Muhammad that he performed no signs. In Surah 6.37, when Muhammad's adversaries say "Why has no sign been sent down to him from his Lord?", Muhammad is bidden to reply merely that God could send one if he wanted to but had not done so.
In the same Surah we read that Muhammad said, "I have not that for which you are impatient" (Surah 6.57), meaning signs and wonders such as Moses had. He goes on to say that if he had had them, the dispute between him and them would have been decided long ago.
# 9 Muslims PRAY to Mohammad like he said to do:
Tirmidhi relates, through his chain of narrators from 'Uthman ibn Hunayf, that a blind man came to the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) and said, "I've been afflicted in my eyesight, so please pray to Allah for me." The Prophet (Allah bless him and grant him peace) said: "Go make ablution (wudu), perform two rak'as of prayer, and then say:
"Oh Allah, I ask You and turn to You through my Prophet Muhammad, the Prophet of mercy; O MUHAMMAD (YA MUHAMMAD), I SEEK YOUR INTERCESSION with my Lord for the return of my eyesight [and in another version: "for my need, that it may be fulfilled. O Allah, grant him intercession for me"]."
Do the readers see how Muhammad specifically instructed the blind man to address him directly in his prayer? The blind man wasn’t told to simply pray to Allah asking him to heal him on behalf of Muhammad. He was also directed to address Muhammad directly and personally ask him in the prayer to intercede for him.

Jesus predicted what they would do:
John 16:2 (KJV)
2They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.
Mohammed claims the Angel Gabriel visited him. I don't believe it. Read this:
2 Corinthians 11:13-15 (KJV)
13For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
14And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
15Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

Satan is the father of lies and deceits,also, but he will never tell you that!...Muhammad is a False Prophet. Rev. 19:10 ....Jesus Christ is the Spirit of Prophecy so that leaves out Muhammad.Yes?

"and the Bible has a perfect track record"
Sure -
1) written 400 years after Jesus death
2) No science of preservation UNLIKE Muhammed, the preserving of this charachter BEGAN the scientific method - the like of which has never been repeated by any human society....
3) 66 separate books compiled by ROMAN Emporerers - the same Ruling elites that have ruined your life, stolen your natural environment, ruined your economy, and taken you to war against the World.
4) What was Mathew , Mark , Luke and Johns Surnames ? Who are these people ?
5) Multiple revisions - which BIBLE are you talking about ?
6) Aramaic NOT a spoken language today, while Arabic spoken by over 500 million people to varying degrees TODAY - a living VIBRANT language
7) Lost in Translations - see NASV v King James Bibles
8) Secrecy behind dead sea scrolls and "left out gospels" - hmm wonder why ???
9) Facutal and written errors - Genesis shows Isaac is Older than Ishmael, and a few pages later, Ishmael is older than Isaac ? they cant BOTH be right ?? Who doctored what ??
10) Heavily influenced by Paul - who was Paul ??
11) What happened in AD325 at the Council of Nicea the first oecumenical council of Christianity ?
So accurate indeed...
EDIT
1) The Old Testament was written up to thousands of years before Jesus was born, and the New Testament was all written before 100 A.D.
I contest it was 400AD you say 100AD
Lets see your proof...from bible scholars please - as niether you nor me are....
So lets have it please...
3) Yeah, Roman emperors who had converted to Christianity.
You really believe YOUR leaders are people of GOD?? You really beleive the Vatican is the height of spritual reality ??
You are lost man, really lost !!

@ jamie muslim: If mohamed performed miracles then the quran is lying as it says that mohamed could not perform miracles.
The Qur'an very clearly says of Muhammad that he performed no signs. In Surah 6.37, when Muhammad's adversaries say "Why has no sign been sent down to him from his Lord?", Muhammad is bidden to reply merely that God could send one if he wanted to but had not done so.

Like it or not people are aware that mohamed is the mohamedan god and you muslims will even ignore what the quran teaches about mohamed if it does not support his 'divinity'.

Really Muhammad pbuh was the last prophet and rasool/messenger of Allah as stated by Allah in the Qur'an(1). Al Qur'an itself is the biggest miracle during Muhammad pbuh's life who was an illiterate person which had been witnessed by so many people during his era until now which its originality is guaranteed by Allah(2)He was saved by Allah when he will be killed by kafir quiraises in Hira cave(3) He made a small foods enough for only 4 persons but it was eaten enough for 70 persons(4).He broke the moon(5) He was assisted by so many angels in Badar war where he won the war although he had only 300 Muslims soldiers versus 3000 kafir Quraisy soldiers(6) He went at one night from Masjidil Haram in mecca to Masjidil Aqsa in Yerussalem and then he was lifted to the skies to meet various prophets and Allah in lauh mahfudz(the highest level) to receive the obligation to pray 5 times a day in the story of Isra and Mi'raj in the Qur'an

Many of his prophesies came true in his life time. Like prophesy of victory
of Roman king over the persian king. Prophesy of victory of Muslims who
were outnumbered and ill provided, against powerful infidel tribes and
resourceful Jews combined.
His teachings were based on wisdom, logic and reason and holy Quran
is his most notable wisdom. It has been retained in original unlike Torah
and Bible.It speaks of things that happened in 20th century.
His prophesies of end time have come true.
Muhammad is not supposed to be a prophet; he is a prophet.

Allah killed Mohammad to show he wasn’t a true prophet & he also brought him to shame.
In the Quran Sura : 69:44-46 Allah says —And if he (Muhammad) had forged a false saying concerning Us We surely should have seized him by his right hand (or with power and might), and then certainly should have CUT OFF HIS LIFE ARTERY (AORTA). (Hilali-Khan)
Qur’an 69:44-46—And if he had fabricated against Us some of the sayings, We would certainly have seized him by the right hand, then We would certainly have CUT OFF HIS AORTA. (Shakir)
Tafsir Jalalayn on Qur’an 69:44-46—And had he, namely, the Prophet (s), fabricated any lies against Us, by communicating from Us that which We have not said, We would have assuredly seized him, We would have exacted vengeance [against him], as punishment, by the Right Hand, by [Our] strength and power; then WE WOULD HAVE ASSUREDLY SEVERED HIS LIFE-ARTERY, THE AORTA OF THE HEART, A VEIN THAT CONNECTS WITH IT, AND WHICH IF SEVERED RESULTS IN THAT PERSON'S DEATH.
Mohammad wanted to die in the cause of Allah.
Sahih al-Bukhari 2797—The Prophet said, . . . “By Him in Whose Hands my soul is! I would love to be martyred in Allah’s Cause and then come back to life and then get martyred, and then come back to life again and then get martyred and then come back to life again and then get martyred.”
But that is not what he got a Jewish woman poisoned him. Mohammad inflicted a lot of torture to the Jews and Jewess Zaynab's family was not spared by Mohammad. And secondly, Mohammad called women deficient in intelligence.
But here we have a Jewish woman who poisoned Mohammad. Allah allowed a Jewish woman to poison Mohammad. Thus bringing Mohammad to shame disgrace and humiliating him.
Let's see what Mohammad says after he has had the poison.
Sahih al-Bukhari 4428—The Prophet in his ailment in which he died, used to say, “O Aishah! I still feel the pain caused by the food I ate at Khaibar, and at this time, I FEEL AS IF MY AORTA IS BEING CUT FROM THAT POISON"
Sunan Abu Dawud 4449—Umm Bishr said to the Prophet during the sickness of which he died: What do you think about your illness, Apostle of Allah? I do not think about the illness of my son except the poisoned sheep of which he had eaten with you at Khaibar. The Prophet said: And I do not think about my illness except that. THIS IS THE TIME WHEN IT CUT OFF MY AORTA.
According to Qur'an 69:44-46, if Muhammad were a false prophet, Allah would sever his aorta. Interestingly, when Muhammad died, he said he could feel his sorta being severed.
So we have Allah who not only severed Mohammad's aorta but added to his degradation by making him die at the hands of a Jewish Woman.
To conclude: Nothing what I have said about Mohammad comes any where near what Allah says about Mohammad. If you take all the human insults towards Mohammad like the Danish cartoons, the Satanic verses etc & roll it up into a big ball even then it comes no where close to what Allah did to insult Mohammad by severing his aorta. Allah is Mohammad's biggest critic.
Now are you Muslims going to run around screaming that Allah is an islamophobic bigot because he insulted Mohammad? Or are you going to accept correction from the Almighty?
Islam means submission. Muslims think it means submission to Allah but Allah has already given his answer. He commands you to reject Mohammad. If you continue believing in Mohammad, what you are really saying is Allah cannot make me stop believing in Mohammad I don't care what Allah says I will believe in Mohammad anyway.
But in that case Islam isn't submission to Allah but to Mohammad.
P.S. Ask them to mention the chapter & verse of the quran where jibril directly tells mohamed that the Bible is corrupted so take the quran.

Looks to me like you've already made up your mind and are just here to rant.
Face it, prophet Muhammad (saw)'s miracles and prophesies have eye-witness testimonies too. Read the hadiths. You probably won't accept them because you're guilty of what is known as confirmation bias. That's your own problem, not anyone else's.
