Bible Note: One of the miracles of the Quran is that hundreds of people are alive today that have fully memorized it in its original Arabic form. I unfortunately am not a scholar of the Quran but I will try to do the book justice. Let me know, if you like I will explain each verse (to the best of my knowledge) you have listed below. 3:45 "Behold! the angels said: "O Mary! Allah giveth thee glad tidings of a Word from Him: his name will be Christ Jesus, the son of Mary, held in honour in this world and the Hereafter and of (the company of) those nearest to Allah. " God himself (not Muhammad), testifies that Christ Jesus is in the company of those closest to himself "held in honor in this world and the hereafter". Yes you are correct. you also quoted 42:5 "... and the angels celebrate the Praises of their Lord, and pray for forgiveness for (all) beings on earth" This isn't a command to the prophet, but it exactly what it says, that the angels in heaven celebrate the praises of their lord, and pray for the forgiveness of mankind. in Chapter 48, God says "Verily We have granted thee a manifest Victory: That Allah may forgive thee thy faults of the past and those to follow; fulfil His favour to thee; and guide thee on the Straight Way; " So God says he will forgive thee (the prophet) of thy faults of the past and those to follow (Past and Future sins - forgiven) So the concept of sinless is not exactly correct, both prophet Muhammad and prophet Jesus were both men of God (not perfect, they make mistakes too), so they committed very few sins, but they were sinless in the way that they were forgiven of their sins that they committed. Even though this may have been true, the Prophet said even though his past and future sins were forgiven, he was more god concious than the rest of us, he would do anything to please his lord, praying all night, and sometimes so much that God said: 73:20 Thy Lord doth know that thou standest forth (to prayer) nigh two-thirds of the night, or half the night, or a third of the night, and so doth a party of those with thee. But Allah doth appoint night and day in due measure He knoweth that ye are unable to keep count thereof. So He hath turned to you (in mercy); read ye, therefore, of the Qur'an as much as may be easy for you. He knoweth that there may be (some) among you in ill-health; others travelling through the land, seeking of Allah's bounty; yet others fighting in Allah's Cause, read ye, therefore, as much of the Qur'an as may be easy (for you); and establish regular Prayer and give regular Charity; and loan to Allah a Beautiful Loan. And whatever good ye send forth for your souls ye shall find it in Allah's Presence,- yea, better and greater, in Reward and seek ye the Grace of Allah, for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. He prayed not only as an example for others, but for the love of his Lord. if you prayed truly ONLY to the Father, it would be better, and isnt this acceptable in Christianity? 2:62 Lo! those who believe (in that which is revealed unto thee, Muhammad), and those who are Jews, and Christians, and Sabaeans whoever believeth in Allah and the Last Day and doeth right surely their reward is with their Lord, and there shall no fear come upon them neither shall they grieve. yes, devout muslims will argue for the sinlessness of Prophet Muhammad, but what does that have to do with anything? I agree that all prophets of God are forgiven of their sins! Prophet Muhammad was nothing special in that respect. Prophet Muhammad was mentioned only 4 times by name in the Quran, Jesus 25 times. This shows you that you can still believe in Jesus, PRAY to the Father (like he taught) and still go to heaven. Thats what islam teaches you. Yours truly, Isa |
