The Bible is in the Quran - that means everything in the bible is valid for Muslims as the Quran states - this is sent to confirm the former scriptures.

yes ,adding to that , the first son of Ibrahim is ismael and god prescribed circumcision to Ibrahim and his descendance . this is another proof that arabes have kept during a long period till now this tradition ,meaning that not only this tradition exist but many others which are used till now ,example the eid al adha ...ect

the circumcision was mandatory for all muslims in the time of IBRAHIM and after IBRAHIM with ISMAEL and his sons .

But is it mandatory for muslims? Christians were released from this by the teachings of Paul (something that doesn't really sit well with me)

Yes it is mandatory for Muslims and Yehudis and for followers of the rabbi Jesus. Paul did not teach against it. Remember he circumcised Timothy. The NT speaks of learning other things first. It says Moses is preached every sabath ( to learn the rest of the requirements ). It is not possible to put all 600 plus commandments into effect in your life in one day, especially if you were not brought up on them. Jesus was circumcised.

Circumcision is NOT mandatory for Christians.
Paul did not teach against it.
Yes he did: "... if you become circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing." Gal 5:2, and in many other texts.
Remember he circumcised Timothy.
Only to give him credibility with they Jews they were among at the time. He did not circumcise Titus.
Jesus was circumcised.
Only because his parents were Jews. He didn't have much say in the matter. Christians believe that he was so that we don't have to be, just as he was crucified.

I know that many Muslim men do it. I don't know if it is mandatory or not though.

Peace,

Circumcision is allowed as per the previous scriptures.The Quran is silent on this issue therefore i reckon since it is an information already delivered at the time of Prophet Ibrahim ,it may also be a practice in Islam.

From a Quranic point of view the true Holy Bible of Moses and Jesus doesn't even allow circumcision, because Allah's (swt) Books don't contradict.
It's clearly mentioned in the Quran 95:4
We have indeed created man in the best of moulds.

Yes.. to follow the original bible, not people's writings, Including-as confirmed in the Quran- most of todays religious scriptures Bible and Hadith that contradict the Holy Quran as in circumcision.
2:79
Then woe to those who write the Book with their own hands, and then say:"This is from Allah," to traffic with it for miserable price!- Woeto them for what their hands do write, and for the gain they make thereby
 
Hello Zhakir,

If God made man in the "best of moulds".

Muslims should not

1) cut their hair
2) clip their nails
3) remove any malignant tumour

Hair is naturly lost, and need do be removed for health and cosmic reasons. why should they even sweat and breath and do metabolic activities that make changes in their bodies anyway?. All that is part of being best of moulds. Not removing non-renewable functional parts of them.
Quran 48:27
Ye shall enter the Sacred Mosque, if Allah wills, with minds secure, heads shaved,hair cut short, and without fear.
