BruceDLimber said:Hi again!
In the Baha'i view, not really.
It's all a continuing process we Baha'is call Progressive Revelation, basically that God has continually sent Divine Messengers to update His teachings and laws to us according to our needs in each Age (and will continue to do so forever). This usually happens every 500-1,000 years when each Messenger founds a new religion that's the next stage in an ever-evolving one faith, the Faith of God! The Baha'i Faith is simply the latest (but not the last) such religious Revelation.
Best,
Bruce
DreGod07 said:Pardon me if I don't know a whole lot about your faith but I thought the Qur'an tought the people that it was the scripture where in there was no doubt. Would that not mean it was a completeion of scripture? In a way you have said that your faith has now developed its own "NEW" scripture. How does this not sound like the LDS?
Apple Pie said:There is not a single solitary passage within the Koran itself that mentions the Islamic "Muhammad" as writing, nor dictating the Koranic scriptures...
Thus, based upon this most basic premise...it is pure myth for Muslims to think that their "prophet" had anything to do with the text at all.
It is quite inescapable that Islams prophet .who is not even mentioned in the Koran at all (due to the fact that he was a fictional character) and did NOT write the Koran
Furthermore, the Koran tells us plainly where its material came from in scores of places.
It came from the Holy Bible.
It was translated from Biblical Hebrew and Greek into Arabic.
In fact, 80% of its content is taken from the Book of Revelation, alone....!
Moreover the authors, who did finally put pen to paper, and translated the Hebrew and Greek into Arabic, were more than likely Christians ..!!!
Amazing...
DreGod07 said:I've never been one for hadith....... those who heard some one who heard some one say something......
I saw a volume of hadith that was more vast than the qur'an and the bible combined.
The Truth said:[29] Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah; and those who are with him are strong against Unbelievers, (but) compassionate amongst each other. Thou wilt see them bow and prostrate themselves (in prayer), seeking Grace from Allah and (His) Good Pleasure. On their faces are their marks, (being) the traces of their prostration. This is their similitude in the Taurat; and their similitude in the Gospel is: like a seed which sends forth its blade, then makes it strong; it then becomes thick, and it stands on its own stem, (filling) the sowers with wonder and delight. As a result, it fills the Unbelievers with rage at them. Allah has promised those among them who believe and do righteous deeds, Forgiveness, and a great Reward. (Quran 48:29)
Popeyesays said:ApplePie,
The name of Muhammad is mentioned almost three hundred times in the Pickthall translation. Eighteen times in the Rodwell translation. So your count is off.
Do you read Arabic yourself? Or are you just relying on the cut and paste from a Christian site that has little respect for Islam?

Observe these interesting comments by E.W. Lane

mohamedhassan said:sadly you didn't read what it said "as mentioned in the torah and injeel before" Muhammad(saw) never saw the scriptures before nor could he read it
Apple Pie said:Hi The Truth,
Please inform us exactly why your "Muhammad" is quoting Jesus' Parable of the Growing Seed...as mentioned only in the Gospel of Mark chapter 4...

We eagerly await your response...
mohamedhassan said:You obviously argue with out knowledge don't you. You've heard somethings or read somethings about islam so you decide to attack it with what every you can cancoupt. With all due respect try to show some courtasy and openness to discuss rather then openly accuse. Would greatly appreciate that thank you
