:wth:


No such thing mate. We muslims believe in Jesus as the prophet who preceded Muhamed (PBUH), we just do not share the Christians belief that he is the son of god, or that he is immortal.
Well duh, I said I'm no expert, but I knew it was something along the lines you acknowledge his existence. It would be weird if you share the same belief about him as Christians, wouldn't it? :p

There are two reason for why this could be:

1.

Aramaic, Hebrew and Arabic are semitic languages which are closely related and if you go back thousands of years, even more so.

Traditional semitic scripture lacks vowels, so any mention of Muhammad would have been written "Mhmd" or similar.

The Arabic name Muhammad means "praiseworthy".

Considering the relation of the languages, it's not unlikely at all that the word "Mhmd" existed in the vocabulary of the various Semitic languages.

So probably, someone called a prophet praiseworthy or predicted that a praiseworthy prophet would appear some time in the future (certainly not excluded to the Muhammad).

2.

It's a sign. Get down on your knees, everyone.
Erm...it is not the name "Muhammad" that is mentioned :shifty:

I should think that Islam, as a religion actually based on the teachings of a real person wouldn't be concerned with the contents of the Bible, then again, for a religion that is so strict regarding icon worship, they all have to go to Mecca and worship a meteorite, so...IDK
No one worships a meteorite my friend.


Are you talking about Prophet Muhammad ( may Allah exalt him and grant him peace)? If you are talking about Prophet Muhammad ( may Allah exalt him and grant him peace) then I am not sure if Prophet Muhammad ( may Allah exalt him and grant him peace) is mentioned in the bible, maybe some other muhammad, but Prophet Muhammad ( may Allah exalt him and grant him peace)? I don't think so. Why would Jesus talk about Prophet Muhammad ( may Allah exalt him and grant him peace) in his own book, it's about Jesus you know, and not about Prophet Muhammad ( may Allah exalt him and grant him peace)..

Prophet Muhammad ( may Allah exalt him and grant him peace) has his own book, and he talks about himself, I mean about Prophet Muhammad ( may Allah exalt him and grant him peace), every prophet talk about himself in the book, so is Prophet Muhammad ( may Allah exalt him and grant him peace).
Actually, Prophet Muhammad is only mentioned four times in the Qur'an :shocked:

Black Stone
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Black Stone, surrounded by its silver frame and the black cloth kiswah on the Kaaba in Mecca

The Black Stone (called الحجر الأسود al-Hajar-ul-Aswad in Arabic) also called "Hijre Aswad" is a Muslim relic, which according to Islamic tradition dates back to the time of Adam and Eve. Some consider it to be a tektite or a meteorite.[1] It is the eastern cornerstone of the Kaaba, the ancient sacred stone building towards which Muslims pray, in the center of the Grand Mosque in Mecca, Saudi Arabia.[2] The Stone is roughly 30 cm (12 in.) in diameter, and 1.5 meters (5 ft.) above the ground.[3]

When pilgrims circle the Kaaba as part of the Tawaf ritual of the Hajj, many of them try, if possible, to stop and kiss the Black Stone, emulating the kiss that it, according to Islamic lore, received from the Islamic prophet Muhammad.[4] If they cannot reach it, they point to it on each of their seven circuits around the Kaaba.[5]

The Stone was broken into a number of pieces from damage inflicted during the Middle Ages. The pieces are held together by a silver frame, which is fastened by silver nails to the Stone."

Besides, I was only bringing that up to illustrate the inherent paradoxical nature of religion, specifically Islam. I think the point is that in a historical sense, the bible is practically worthless, so why should any one care if muhammed is or is not mentioned therein?

That rock is not worshiped. Muslims don't worship objects. That's a fact, you can give me a million wikipedia articles and what I said still stands.
