What was Muhammad (pbuh) if not a prophet?

[SilentObserver]

here is an amazing little secret to let you on
there are (some) 1.8 Billion Muslims in the world and growing!.... Who even if didn't have vids. from Nasa, or pirctures or or or..... would know that the moon has split simply because it is the the word of G-D in his noble book!
There will always be people such as your person who are displeased with everything and indeed it is your prerogative... people who will throw little temper tantrums (I say it didn't happen, it didn't happen, It didn't happen) wishful thinking (nya nya nya nya nyaaaaaaaaaa).... let me carpet bomb the phrase with the most distilled essence of condescension ..... and it is cool.. it is amusing one some level that it threatens you so much you have to keep resurrecting an old post, which may lead other members to decipher what they may of your Psyche!

I'll still have to reference you to above written... by all mean Believe or disbelieve what you wish... No one is holding a gun to your head!

Threatens? LOL! No, not at all. I am amused by your analysis of my psyche, and I invite you to continue. Would you prefer if I allow you to draw conclusions and let you know later how close you are to allow you to gage your ability? Or would you prefer I let you know 'on the fly' so as to make course corrections, and avoid going to far off? Sounds like fun either way.

Actually, what happened was I was viewing who was online and someone was viewing this thread, so I had a look. Nothing more sinister than that, I promise:Evil: .
My comment was more about the definition of "proof", than about the moon splitting in two (which it did not:rollseyes ).

Have no desire or need "analyze your Psyche"...As a general rule in medicine the term “zebra” is commonly and universally understood as a reference to a rare condition. Physicians are taught to assume that the simplest explanation is usually the best, so as not to go around diagnosing folks with all sorts of exotic disease that are highly unlikely. That be disease of the mind or otherwise.... Common things are common and rare things are rare. And you dear sir are as common as they get! Any fun to be had at this rate should be experienced solo by your person!

That is fantastic... What ever cure you can find to remedy that itch, go for it! I too should be entitled to Ahem! a roll of the eyes :rollseyes

Sir? Ouch, please, that makes me feel so old. Humour me if you don't mind, and explain what is common about me. I only ask because in my daily life, I frequently hear otherwise. Quite frankly, I welcome being considered 'normal'(if common can be considered normal).

Which itch(I have a few)?

Of course! Please indulge!

You should consider the company you keep when reflecting on what you just wrote!

Acyclovir 5% modified aqueous cream generally requires a prescription and isn't considered a cure... but I am speaking of your itch that flares incessantly on this forum.

Of course! Please indulge!

I think you have wasted enough of my time! I recommend "When You Are Old"
by Will Butler Yeats -- He most assuredly will "indulge" you better!

If you could understand the context in which this much is said, you would likely feel differently. Some of my peers are exceptional, but fail to see their own unique ability. So honestly, the company I keep would be rewarding for anyone as fortunate as I if given the chance to also keep the same company.

LOL! You have a sense of humour after all! "Remember kids, you can control it, but you can't cure it."
I have been accused of a number of things on this forum, so I hope you will excuse me for not knowing exactly which itch. (or is it 'witch itch'? No, that's the one I would need the cream for.)

I think you have wasted enough of my time!

Oh, come on, be honest. You were having fun too.

I recommend "When You Are Old"
by Will Butler Yeats -- He most assuredly will "indulge" you better!

I like that one, a tasteful choice.

When You Are Old

When you are old and grey and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;

How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true,
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face;

And bending down beside the glowing bars,
Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.

-- William Butler Yeats

Poor Will, he spent so much time writing about growing old. I wonder if he was bothered by his passing years, or simply appreciated what age had brought him.

Aren't we getting a little of topic here...?

salaam,

"My choice of Muhammad to lead the list of the world's most influential persons may surprise some readers and may be questioned by others, but he was the only man in history who was supremely successful on both the religious and secular level." [Michael H. Hart, THE 100: A RANKING OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL PERSONS IN HISTORY, New York: Hart Publishing Company, Inc., 1978, p. 33.]

That is because he was receiving revelation from the Almighty.

 

[AbuAbdallah]

"He was Caesar and Pope in one; but he was Pope without Pope's pretensions, Caesar without the legions of Caesar without a standing army, without a bodyguard, without a palace, without a fixed revenue; if ever any man had the right to say that he ruled by the right divine, it was Mohammed, for he had all the power without its instruments and without its supports." [Bosworth Smith, MOHAMMAD AND MOHAMMADANISM, London, 1874, p. 92.]

 

[Asyur an-Nagi]

i didn't vote. i have no problem with the concept of muhammad being a prophet.

archetypal snake's answer simple and sensible.

^Not to mention that he was well known for his honesty and integrity, devotion to God, his kindness, selflessness and justice, which even his enemies could not deny...

Kathleena, your post has demonstrated a remarkable lack of understand about Islam and the Messenger of God, Muhammad (peace be upon him).
