Why do Muslims Accept Muhammad as prophet?

[Mosacked]

I am aware of only one miracle of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) that is mentioned in the Qur’an although many are recorded in the ahadith.

The miracle of the splitting of the moon was demonstrated before a certain gathering who persisted in denial of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). As was related by ‘Adbullah ibn Mas‘ud, while they were in Mina’ one night, the Prophet split the moon into two by a gesture of his index finger. The halves of the moon appeared one behind the mountain and the other in front of it. Then, the Prophet turned to us and said: ‘Be witnesses!’

The Qur’an refers to this miracle in the following verses:

The Last Hour has drawn near, and the moon has split. But whenever they see a sign, they turn away and say, ‘This is evident magic’. … (al-Qamar, 54.1-2)

hamba2han,

firstly this verse was written AFTER the quaryish tribe was defeated…secondly the original text was ‘the moon bearing banner was torn’…meaning their flag/banner which has a logo of the moon on it was torn. You can check around on what was the original, but nevermind you can change it to say muhammad performed a miracle anyhow and that it wasn’t just the moon cartoon on the flag that was torn, but the real moon. )

I’m just laughing at how desperate muslims are. Just refer to my previous post.

What is evident is that islam’s quran is STILL EVOLVING today!

This is the related hadith from Sahih al-Bukhari, the most authentic collection of ahadith.:

**Volume 6, Book 60, Number 387:

Narrated Ibn Masud:

During the lifetime of Allah’s Apostle the moon was split into two parts; one part remained over the mountain, and the other part went beyond the mountain. On that, Allah’s Apostle said, “Witness this miracle.”

Volume 6, Book 60, Number 388:

Narrated Abdullah:

The moon was cleft asunder while we were in the company of the Prophet, and it became two parts. The Prophet said, Witness, witness (this miracle)."**

If you say the Qur’anic verse is referring to a “flag/banner”, which hadith are you referring to?

 

[hamba2han]

I am aware of only one miracle of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) that is mentioned in the Qur’an although many are recorded in the ahadith…

I need to correct myself here because the event of the night journey and ascension to the heavens is also another miracle of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) which is mentioned in the Qur’an.

Examples of miracles of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) concerning water

The Companions were left without water in a place called Zarwa. They were going to do wudu’ (ritual ablution) but they could not find enough water. God’s Messenger, upon him be peace and blessings, ordered them to bring a bowl of water. He dipped his hands into the bowl and water began to run from his fingers like a fountain. Anas ibn Malik says that on that day they were three hundred people. [Nasa’i, 1.60; Bukhari, 4.233; Muslim, Hadith No. 2279]

Anas relates this incident on behalf of three hundred persons. Is it at all conceivable that those three hundred people would not have confirmed him, if they thought him to be truthful, or otherwise contradicted him?

As a second example, during the campaign of Hudaybiya, the Companions complained to God’s Messenger about the lack of water. The Messenger, upon him be peace and blessings, took an arrow out of his arrow-bag and ordered them to put it in the well of Samad. When they did that, the water of the well began to gush. During the campaign, all of the Companions drank from it and did wudu’ with it. [Bukhari, Shurut, 15]

There are many examples of miracles of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) concerning water. They were related by numerous Companions and transmitted through various reliable channels.

 

[hamba2han]

Examples of the miracles of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) concerning increase in food

As related by Anas ibn Malik, Abu Talha, on seeing God’s Messenger hungry, invited him to a meal. The Messenger, upon him be peace and blessings, came with a crowd of people. Abu Talha had only one loaf of rye bread at home. Umm Sulaym, Abu Talha’s wife, spread some butter on it. The Messenger prayed for abundance, and since there was not enough space for all the people, they ate of the bread ten by ten and left satisfied. They were about seventy to eighty people.

As another example, ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Bakr relates that they, one hundred and thirty Companions, were in the company of God’s Messenger during an expedition. The Messenger asked them whether they had something to eat. One of them had about one or two sacks of flour . Dough was prepared to make bread and a sheep was bought from a polytheist who happened to pass by with his flock. They roasted the liver of the sheep, which the Messenger divided among those present, giving each a piece of it, and put aside the share of those who were not present there then. They cooked the meat in two bowls and everyone ate of it. After they finished eating all satisfied, the meat was still as if no one had eaten of it at all.

There are many other examples of this kind of miracle. They were all transmitted through various-sometimes as many as sixteen-channels. Most of them took place in the presence of large assemblies and were narrated by many persons of truth and good repute.

Here is a hadeeth describing yet another miracle of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh):

**Sahih Bukhari Volume 2, Book 13, Number 55:

Narrated Anas bin Malik:**

Once in the lifetime of the Prophet (p.b.u.h) the people were afflicted with drought (famine). While the Prophet was delivering the Khutba on a Friday, a Bedouin stood up and said, “O, Allah’s Apostle! Our possessions are being destroyed and the children are hungry; Please invoke Allah (for rain)”. So the Prophet raised his hands. At that time there was not a trace of cloud in the sky. By Him in Whose Hands my soul is as soon as he lowered his hands, clouds gathered like mountains, and before he got down from the pulpit, I saw the rain falling on the beard of the Prophet. It rained that day, the next day, the third day, the fourth day till the next Friday. The same Bedouin or another man stood up and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! The houses have collapsed, our possessions and livestock have been drowned; Please invoke Allah (to protect us)”. So the Prophet I raised both his hands and said, “O Allah! Round about us and not on us”. So, in whatever direction he pointed with his hands, the clouds dispersed and cleared away, and Medina’s (sky) became clear as a hole in between the clouds. The valley of Qanat remained flooded, for one month, none came from outside but talked about the abundant rain.

What kind of a miracle is that? You ask for rain and you get drowned! Seems reather cold and hateful to me.

Interestingly enough, that seems the sort of things a demon might do, to twist the desire for rain into a killing flood.

Sometimes, one needs to be careful of what one wishes for.

And in case it has escaped anyone’s notice, this miracle was witnessed by all of the inhabitants of the area.

Hmmm…about the rain…

Do you know the story of Our Lady of Fatima…near Leiria, Portugal?

She came to warn mankind of the consequence of their sins, and if they did not repent, there would be a greater war preceeded by a strange light in the sky…

An aurora borealis appeared in the European sky right before World War II.

She also asked Catholics to pray the rosary for the conversion of Russia. She appeared on the 13th of each month, from May 13, 1917 to October 13, 1917. She promised a miracle on the last day.

Seventy thousand people came, including a number of atheists…On that day it was heavy, pouring rain. People waited. Then the children pointed to the sun. It began to twirl and dance around in the sky. Then it came to a position and then began to appear as hurling toward them. The people became hysterical. Then it returned to its natural position. The sky cleared. And all their wet clothes were perfectly dry.

No drownings. Mary’s language was most simple and clear.

I also read that Mohammed saw Jerusalem, but had no interest and moved on. The Islamicists attacked Jerusalem, the holiest city to the Jews who were dispersed, and the Holy Land for the Christians. They wanted to take it over.

St. Mary Major of Justinian was a Catholic church. Yet the Islamic writers created this story saying Mohammed rose from that spot into heaven arriving on a magic horse in a dream…Whew.

So Mohammed rose up into heaven from a Catholic Church. …and Mohammed never wanted that place.

So much for respect for the people of the Book, and believing everything you hear as true.

Islam put a stake into the Holy Land to claim it for themselves… Not good. And Christians knew some day the Jews would return…This makes a pretty bad set up for future trouble, wouldn’t you think???

More deaths, this time not just from alot of rain.

The difference between Mohammad’s “miracle” and the miracle at Fatima is that Mohammad’s “miracle” brought death and destruction. The miracle at Fatima brought good.

 

[KathleenGee]

Did you hear of the true story of the 7 German Jesuit priests who lived in Japan during World War II?

They practiced the Fatima message, praying the rosary every day, offering up their whole day as a sacrifice of love for Our Lord…

The atomic bomb hit just a short distance from where the priests lived. One remembered being twirled around like a leaf. The force then threw him outside where he landed in a ditch with a broken leg. Other than that, he survived.

In fact, all 7 German priests survived the atomic bomb. Over 200 tests for radiation were done on them, and they were proven healthy and fine. It was a miracle. They attributed their protection to following Mary’s advice.

Fr. Schiller was the priest’s name, but I don’t remember his first name. I read his obituary when he passed away.

OK Hamba… I’ll dance with this one.

So, the moon is split into 2 pieces as you state and it’s a “miracle” that mohamad split the moon to show the people of the land of this power.

Now, how did the moon go back into 1 piece round sphere as we see it today?

Wouldn’t putting the moon back into one piece be a “miracle”?

How long was the moon split for and when did it become one?

The moon is something that is seen world wide by many peoples countries and nations.

How come there is NO historical documentation of this “moon splitting” phenomenon ??

 

[KathleenGee]

No Jewish or Christian prophet or leader rose up to take over sacred places of Islam. It is now counting 2009 years, almost 2010, but nobody out there yet to take over…

To take over other people’s sacred place after talking about them in the Quran is a pretty big and a pretty bad contradiction. Tearing down sacred places, killing peaceful Christians and Jews and making them dhimmi…sounds more like devil work. Bad.

What is happening now in Israel, and with the Christians being displaced after living there for 2,000 years, a number of them descendents of the earliest Jewish converts, is very sad and very, very bad.

There used to be a commercial on TV that had an old lady cry out, “Where is the beef?”

Now I ask, “Where is the Peace ??!!”

True prophets don’t lie…and people make sure the true story is passed on.

If you say the Qur’anic verse is referring to a “flag/banner”, which hadith are you referring to?

Hamba2han, you know what you just did?

Someone asked for quranic verses to show that muhammad had performed a miracle, and you showed them al-qamar surah 54. But when I showed you that your quote was in error cos the original quote referred to a moon picture bearing flag/banner, you instead switched to hadith Bukhari V6!

Goodness, you realise you just showed us spiritual serpentry?

When someone asks for a quote from the QURAN to show muhammad performed a miracle (which there isn’t any cos muhammad performed NO miracles and he even admitted he couldn’t perform any in the quran), muslims run to the hadiths. When these same hadiths are quoted to show muhammad killed, raped, committed pedophilia & plundered, the muslims run BACK to the quran.

HOW MANY TIMES DO YOU RUN A DAY???

• Anyway, I already told you, it doesn’t matter, just serve it to us whatever way you want it. So…muhammad halved the moon you say?..So, why freak out during the eclipse? I mean you can halve the moon!..so why be afraid of it when it covers the sun??? You can just split it in half for goodness sakes. Bwahaaa!

How come no one else saw it? You would think that the Chinese, Europeans, and others would have seen it. Nobody saw it splitting up.

and as for the donkey ride to heaven, I believe Aisha - she didn’t see MOhammed leave the room. (I think he dreamt it up like he did so many other things).

Didn’t this donkey have a woman’s head on it and wings or some sort of peacock feathers.

And I did read the hadiths where Aishia said that mohamad never left the room so it was like a dream of some sort.

And as far as this moon split “miracle”, again, why didn’t historians document it, Jews were around and so were many Christians and others. There is NO historical documentation of this incident.

And yes, I will ask again, how did the moon become 1 whole sphere again and who witnessed it coming together.

And if the moon did become 1, how come the koran does not mention it?

Night Journey- chapter 17

Verse:001
Dr. Mohsin : **Glorified (and Exalted) is He (Allâh) [above all that (evil) they associate with Him]. Who took His slave (Muhammad SAW) for a journey by night from Al-Masjid-al-Harâm (at Makkah) to Al-Masjid-al-Aqsa (in Jerusalem), **the neighbourhood whereof We have blessed, in order that We might show him (Muhammad SAW) of Our Ayât (proofs, evidences, lessons, signs, etc.). Verily, He is the All-Hearer, the All-Seer]

Pickthal : Glorified be He Who carried His servant by night from the Inviolable Place of Worship to the Far Distant place of worship the neighbourhood whereof We have blessed, that We might show him of Our tokens! Lo! He, only He, is the Hearer, the Seer.

Yusuf Ali : **Glory to (Allah) Who did take His Servant for Journey by night from the Sacred Mosque to the Farthest Mosque **whose precincts We did bless― in order that We might show him some of Our Signs: for He is the one Who heareth and seeth (all things).

quranexplorer.com/index/Sura_017_Al_Isra_ISRA_THE_NIGHT_JOURNEY_CHILDREN_OF_ISRAEL.aspx

Out of these 3 translations, one mentions this Al-Masjid-al-Aqsa (in Jerusalem) and the word “Jerusalem” is in parenthesis. Meaning it was inserted in there by human hands and not part of the koran.

The other 2 verses make no such mention. Also, there were no mosques in Jerusalem at the time of mohamad.

And let’s just say that allah did take mohamad on a night journey to heaven. Why the detour towards Jerusalem? Why didn’t the flying donkey take mohamad straight up to heaven?

The whole thing does not make sense. It sounds like an Arabian folk tale.

This is the ‘Rocky Belt’ which extends agross the lenght of the moon and which probably is the remnant of the split:

http://www.somalilandpatriots.com/images/img/somalilandpatriots.com-072120091248161683.bmp

This Belt of Rocks goes from the surface of the moon right to the inner depths and geologists have concluded that this couldn’t have happened unless the moon was once split and then resealed.

The rocks on the belt are a result of the impact during the time when the two halves of the moon recombined.

 

[Byzantine_Wolf]

What kind of a miracle is that? You ask for rain and you get drowned!

I am laughing so hard right now. That made my day.

Imagine if Jesus did the miracle of the fishes and everyone got food poisoning.

This is the related hadith from Sahih al-Bukhari, the most authentic collection of ahadith.:

If you say the Qur’anic verse is referring to a “flag/banner”, which hadith are you referring to?

So the moon, one of the most watched astrological bodies in human history, split in two and scattered about the sky, and no other civilization saw this or recorded it?

This Belt of Rocks goes from the surface of the moon right to the inner depths and geologists have concluded that this couldn’t have happened unless the moon was once split and then resealed.

Care to quote these “geologists”?

By the way, the Belt of Rocks does not go all the way around the moon.

Hamba, I deleted the picture for space purpose.

I saw the link of your picture. Nonsense.

Please show me a NASA picture with the NASA link where NASA states the moon was split into 2 and then merged back into 1.

Please show historical documents of the time period from different nations recording & witnessing the split of the moon.

If this great big object in the skies was to be affected and split into 2 pieces, the world would have recorded this phenomenon, yet no record exists.

If the moon split, it would have caused some sort of atmospheric damage to the earth with tides, floods, crazy weather…etc…

Again, no such phenomenon has been recorded in history.

 

[hamba2han]

Only a few livestock were reported to have drowned as a result of the abundance of rainfall from the miracle and so it was not a catastrophe that some are making it out to be.
