Howdy!
Recently I've been reading a lot about Jesus Christ and Muhammad. This is for a variety of reasons but the origins of both the early church and the early ummah are very interesting to me. I have my doubts about the exact nature of Jesus Christ but he is a very interesting figure and I...
Howdy!
I recently had a previous event come to mind. I had met some Bahais and we were talking about religion. The thing that came up was that I didn't believe Muhammad was a prophet but that he was central to Bahai. We ended up talking for awhile never really got past the issue.
So I was...
What if Muhammad
A) Replaced Yudishtra before the exile of the Pandavs-knowing they were cheated
B) Replaced Arjun in the battle of Kurukshetra
C) Replaced Bheem when fighting Duryodan
D) Replaced Krishna in the battle of Kurukshetra or when fighting Duryodan
Who is the “slave of G-d" whose Nanak is the humble servant, as Nanak himself says, I understand, in the following hymn in Granth, please?
nwnk hir jn ky dwsin dwsw ]9]8] (415-19)
naanak har jan kay daasan daasaa. ||9||8||
Nanak is the humble servant of the slave of the Lord's slaves. ||9||8||...
While some spiritual practices abandoned self-care and cleanliness to attain high spirituality, Islam made it obligatory to clean oneself in preparation for daily prayers.
Caring for one’s hygiene is not only deemed a good habit in Islam but also rendered into rituals that constitute part of...
According to traditions Muhammad experienced His first Revelation from God through the angel Gabriel in the cave of Hira 610 AD. The Quran was revealed over the next two decades. Muhammad taught His people they should turn away from polytheism and be like the Christians and Jews and worship the...
So i did a word for word study on Salaat/Prayer and found out: Salaat in Arabic means to follow something closely. The Arabic meaning of the word fits the context of the Quran if you pay attention! Salaat/Prayer is a Book that is scheduled, 3 times per day, in the morning, afternoon and evening...

I am reading them and it's good to see that God speaks to the nations and sends them Messengers from among themselves. I am also learning Greek, Hebrew and Arabic.
Any other believers here in this DIR who believe Jesus is the Son, the Christ, and that only YHVH the Father is God, and that there...
Below is a mauquf Hadith (taken from the saying of Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ)’s companions). If you read the original Arabic letters of this hadith and compare them with the English translation already circulated around, then clearly you will realize that the hadith is not talking about Khurasan at...
This question is mainly for adherents of a Theistic religion. Can theological difference between the Gospels and the Qur'an be resolved?
Let's consider the Surah of Maryam or the 12th chapter of the Qur'an titled Mary. We have the story of Mary and her relationship with God as she is informed...
In my search of faiths over the past years, I came across quite compelling thoughts that Muhammad is foretold of in the Bible.
One would have to consider that if the Bible is to be seen as accurate with prophecy in the Abrahamic line, to have left out mentioning Muhammads Revelation, which had...
Muhammad claimed to be a Messenger from God and this claim is now accepted by over 1.5 billion Muslims world wide.
The Baha'i Faith arguably the newest Abrahamic Faith emerged out of Persia, now Iran during the nineteenth century. The Founder, Baha'u'llah claimed also to bring a new Revelation...
I, along with seven other members from our local Vedanta group, sat down for a discussion with Swami Sarvadevananda yesterday. In that discussion, we spoke about figures such as Krishna, Buddha, Jesus, Muhammad, and a few others. Swami Sarvadevananda as well as a few others that were there...
So I'm not trying to start a debate, I'm trying to understand a position different from my own. To all the Muslims here how would you defend the claim that Muhammad was a pedophile? Also, if Allah is merciful and loving, then why does he condone the killing of Christians and Jews in the...
Last night I randomly looked through the biography of Muhammad and found a few lines that were either messed up, funny or just plain ol weird.
I randomly flipped to a page in my little biography of muhammad to read this line " It is foolish to blame the Muslims for the horrible consequences...
I've gotten so tired of not hearing arguments from muslims when I talk to them. Or at least arguments that aren't just straight up propaganda that anyone with eyes could easily see through so here. Please Muslims try to demonstrate that Islam is true .
Don't just say "Muhammad was such a good...
It's not too difficult to find someone who will tell you that say Zeus never existed. It is however much less common to find people who will tell you that Jesus never existed. You may even get some people who outright deny that Jesus was God or that Christianity has any merit but still affirms...
The rejection of Islam.
Over the years that I have left Islam my mind has become more and more convinced that Islam is a downright fabrication. In fact I have come to regard it as one of the greatest cons in the history of man. On par with Mormonism when it comes to how downright silly the...
