Theorise:

God sees the bad things happening on the earth. Tomorrow he sends another prophet.

What proof would Muslims require that the new prophet is really the latest prophet?
 
no new prophet is coming-cos' the last one came already-1427 years ago.
 
It's kinda obvious - the prophet told us that he's the last prophet (the seal of the prophets). And that the Quran is the last and final word of God.
 
there's no need for another prophet since we still have the final unaltered word of God in it's original form.

God would send a new prophet when the revelation/message from the previous prophet had been distorted/changed/lost.
but that isn't the case now-cos' God promised He'd preserve the last message and He has.

That is a moot question, as We have already been told Mohammad(saw) was the final Prophet, there can not be a new prophet.

Muhammed's claim to be the last prophet of God is one of the things that really makes me suspicious about Islam.
It adds to my 'it's-all-a-bit-too-convenient' feeling.

I mean, let's just assume I wanted to start a new religion. My followers are starting to grow in numbers, my own power and influence grows.
But people are gullible ... how do I prevent them from following the next guy that comes along with the next idea? How about I state that I am the last prophet, and nobody else will come after me! Very clever, very slick ...

The more I hear about the claims and proofs of Islam, the more I think it's a very cleverly devised scheme. :mmokay:
I just cannot believe it to be anything else. :-\

peace. :)
 
Aint Jesus coming back to earth some day to save us all? Dont muslims believe this too?

One major difference. Jesus(PBUH) already is a Prophet and accepted as a Prophet. He will not be a new PROPHET.
 
hey glo-remember what Jesus (P) said about the comforter?
1-he will confirm me (ie jesus)
2-what he brings will not be from himself-but from God
3-he will explain all things in detail
4-what he brings will remain with you (talhing to disciples) forever
(i'm not sure they are in order..)

the quran confirms jesus (P) in a chapter titled 'mary' after his mother
the quran is revelation from GOd
the quran is called the criterion (al-furqan) and explains issues of fiqh etc)
the quran is the only revelation that has not been changed in any way-(not even a single letter) since it was revealed.


as for the bible and the 'trinity' -the trinity concept was developed after Jesus' time-it was not part of the original teachings..
go ask any scholar who's researched the history of the beg.s of the bible etc and paul's conversion...

(this isn't meant to offend in any way..)

peace

and he will not bring anew religion but will follow the religion of MUhammad (P)
 
Is it said then in the quran that there will be no "new" prophets after mohammed or just no prophets and he is the last one?
 
the quran says that prophet Jesus will return in the end times cos according to islam he isn't dead and since 'every soul must taste death' he is gonna come back and die on earth...

Hi Glo:)

Youre forgetting something though- people didnt follow Muhammad pbuh becuase he told them he was the last messenger. They followed him because they saw the truth in what he had to say. They believed in him.

Either way, there has to be last prophet doesnt there? God cant just keep sending them down, eventually one of them would have to be the last. And it happened to be Muhammad pbuh.

The truth is there were others who claimed to be prophets even during the prophets time, but everyone saw the falsehood in them. For example, on of them was a great people, and when ever he would hear that a verse was revealed to the prophet Muhammad pbuh he would make up a similiar verse and pretend that he was given this from God, however his attempts to produce something of its standard failed miserable, even though he was a great poet. He even had a follower who said that he knew that Muhammad had the truth and that the false prophet was a liar, but he prefered the false prophet because he would rather follow someone from his own tribe.

Hope that makes sense. :)

When Isa/jesus (peace and blessings be upon him) returns,he will NOT return as a prophet :)

He will return as a Follower of Muhammed (peace and blessings be upon him)

Yes, but he will rule by the shari'ah of Nabi Muhammad (SAW). He will act as a ruler, not a Prophet. So he (AS) will not bring a new message, or any new laws. But will just enforce the current law of Muslims.
-Peace

Now you are bringing up some very good points. I can only answer these based on my own views and please do not consider these to be the views of all Muslims.

One thing that keeps me from accepting those thoughts as being likely, is because Islam is not a profit making organization. There is no hidden agenda and no central church authority.

I have never seen any proof that Muhammad(saw) felt that he started a religion. Mohammad(saw) did not seek to have anyone follow him. He only desired for people to follow the word of God(swt). Islam is not established with any ordained clergy, nor with any central earthly power. No body gains by the fact Mohammad (saw) was the last Prophet. In the same manner there is no central organization that will loose if Mohammad(saw) were not the final prophet. Islam is not set up as a religious conglomerate or corporation. In fact Islam is probably the worlds worse example of what a business should be organized as.
 
There have been a lot of people claiming to be prophets and said they are the last prophet why do you believe Mohammad rather than the rest of them?
Most people just follow the faith of their parents or the country, culture they where brought up in without thinking about it.
