Yes Jesus was a Prophet too

He was also human like all other Prophets.

He may have been born without a father but he was still human.

He ate like any human

He slept like any human

He also went to the toilet like any human

He also felt pain

and he also used to pray to God

So IF he had been God would he be praying to himself? NO

And IF he was the son of God then like we discussed yesterday:

Son of God = God

Thus God + Son God = 2 Gods

So you see both the theories that :

1 He was son of God

2 He was God himself

Dont make sence

And thus we know Jesus was Gods Prophet.


If you have any questions feel free to ask :)
 
So now since we have covered:

1 - Belief in Oneness of God

2 - Belief in all the Prophets of God

So now let us move on to :

3 - belief in all revelations of God

Ok ?
If you have questions still in your heart or mind about the first 2 ask

If not lets move on to #3 :)
 
ok lets start the 3 one

Dont worry you can remember it just remember the 6 points:

But for now lets move to #3 before moving on to the other 3 :)


3 - Belief in the Revelations sent by God

As human beings lived on this Planet many Prophets came to guide them.

But people used to forget the teachings of the Prophets

sometimes bad people would change the teachings so they could have power for themselves.

so God sent "revelations" through some of his Prophets.

In all God sent 4 Books

i) Zabur
ii) Injeel
iii) Torah
iV) Quran

Each new book that came also contained the commands of the book before it in it.

The reason that the books came one by one and not all at once was:

People were slowly learning over time.

If suddenly God had sent the full and final Book it would have been too hard for people to follow it.

So God sent the laws slowly over time so that people start following them step by step.

Same way when the Quran was sent - it was sent step by step so that people get used to it slowly and follow step by step.


-------------------------

Got it?
Any questions feel free to ask
 
so wot is Zabur, Injeel, Torah?

are they in arabic too?

but i thought god only sent the koran
 
God sent

Zabur

Torah

Injeel

Quran

4 books in all

Each was in a different language depending on which people it was sent to.

For example:

zabur was sent to Dawood (david)

Torah to Moses

Injeel to Jesus

Quran to Mohammed

Torah were both sent to the Jewish people. So it was Aramaic

Quran was sent to the Arabs so it was in Arabic

---------------------------------------

The Zabur contained guidance to the Oneness of god

The Torah contained the Law

The Injeel contained the re-affirmation of the law

the Quran contained both the Guidance as well as the Law since it was the last and final revelation.

Furthermore because people in the past had been adding things to the revelations of God.

allah protected the Quran against any sort of Change

"Indeed, We have sent down the Quran, and surely We will guard it from corruption." [15:9]

------------------------

Any more Questions?
 
Oki doki and that covers the article #3

3 - Belief in all the revelations of God

If you believe this we can move on? :)
 
Oki doki - Now we have covered:

1 - Belief in Oneness of God
2 - Belief in all the Prophets of God
3 - Belief in all the revelations of God

Now we will move on to:
4 - Belief in the unseen Angels and Jinns created by God.

This is something which is based on your belief in God, his Prophet and his Revelation.

why?

Because we can not see Angels or Jinns

But because we believe Allah is God
And we believe Quran is the final revelation
And we believe Prophet Mohammed is the last messenger

Thus we believe in what Allah, his Books and his Prophets have said that:

Allah has created angels who do everything that God commands them to do

And

Allah has created Jinn who are like humans but we cannot see them.

Jinns

Jinns also live on Earth but we neither feel them nor do we see them.

Jinns live life like humans

Jinns eat and drink

Jinns have male and females

Jinns have intelligence

Jinns also have free wills like humans

Jinns are basically another TYPE of creation of God

we are only told little about them but we know from faith that they do exist.

Angels

Angels are only created to carry out Gods commands

Angels have intelligence

But Angels do not have free will

Angels NEVER disobey God and neither can they disobey God because they do not have a free will

Angels do not have male or females

Angels do not eat or drink

Angels are basically another type of creation of God for a special purpose which it to carry out his command.

-------------------------------------

Did you understand that?

If you have questions feel free to ask :)
 
ok dont worry sis

i will make it simple

Lets start with Angels

Angels were created by God to carry out his command

Whatever God tells them to do they do it

God has not given them a free will (meaning they can not do whatever they like)

They are simply like robots who do anything that their creator tells them to do

Did you get that part?
 
oki doki

Jinns are a creation of God too

Think of them like "aliens"

We can not see them but they do exist

they eat like we do

they sleep like we do

they think and do things like we do

but they are very different looking from us humans

Also Allah has told us that they also live on Earth but we can not see them

Got that part?
any questions?
 
Oki doki sis

So now Muslims are required at this point to believe in angels and jinns.

We believe in them why?

Because we believe in allah his messengers and his revelations.

So if anyone says "show me an angel or jinn"

we should say "we can not show them to you because we dont see them ourselves, but we believe in them because Allah has told us about them in the Quran"

This is part of the "blind faith" - things that we cannot see or prove but which we believe do exist. That is why they are called "unseen"

So since you already said you believe in Allah and his messengers and his revelations

Thus i would like to ask you do you believe in the unseen angels and jinns as well ?
 
^o_0. sister, believing in jinns and angels are part of the islamic faith. It's something you have to believe in.
