    Muslims, are you more righteous than your prophet Muhammad?

    slamjam, thanks for the links. The articles were interesting. This is a question from the website that you suggested. If it was disallowed, why was it practiced even in Muhammad's time? How did the slave girls become slave girls? They were either bought (encouraging slave-trade is not a good...

    Sins of the prophet Muhammad

    Islamic doctrine of hell?

    Does Islam teach that all non-Muslims go to hell or not? If not, what is the criterium for attaining heaven, or for earning hell?

    Universal Salvation in Islam?

    Bookofknowledge vbmenu_register("postmenu_13956946", true); posted this verse which I found interesting. Could it be interpretted as referring to universal salvation? And is there a Muslim sect which teaches this or do all Muslims believe in hell of eternal punishment? Al-Tirmidhi Hadith...

    Muslims, are you more righteous than your prophet Muhammad?

    slamjam, thanks for your comprehensive answer. I didn't suggest that, I just made a distinction that Christians do worship Jesus as God, unlike Muslims' reverance of Muhammad. I don't see how robbing caravans (even if it really was a war) and enslaving prisoners of war can be seen as a step...

    Sins of the prophet Muhammad

    Just because something is in Qu'ran, I don't automatically assume that it's not a sin. If you reply to read a little the Old Testament of the Bible, my reply is that I don't take everything for granted just because it is in the Bible. Some Christian scholars practice historical-critical method...

    Sins of the prophet Muhammad

    Note: I did post a major part of this in another thread, but posted it here for a greater visibility. The alleged sins of Muhammad that were answered are now marked with + and include a brief explanation. ========================================= Muslims don't hold Muhammad in the same...

    Muslims, are you more righteous than your prophet Muhammad?

    Let me assure you that I did not intend this as a joke (although I see how it could be interpretted that way). It's clear now that although Muslims don't hold Muhammad in the same reverance as Christians hold Jesus (i.e. as the Son of God and even God himself), they revere Muhammad as a moral...

    Muslims, are you more righteous than your prophet Muhammad?

    I asked this question in another Muslim thread, but no one answered, so I hope this will have greater visibility. This seems to me an important difference between Christianity and Islam. No Christian would ever say that he is living a more righteous life than Christ himself. But in Islam, it...

    Hell and a Moral God

    The Christians generally believe that in our natural state we have a free will only to sin: it's possible to avoid a specific sin at a specific time through sheer force of will, but over a longer period of time it's pretty much certain that every human being that lives into adulthood will sin...

    Hell and a Moral God

    Lucratius, your feelings about traditional concept of hell are understandable. If God doesn't love his enemies, could he expect that of us? And if he returns evil (enternal punishment) for evil (our temporal sins), can he expect us to return good for evil? If he doesn't love us first, how can we...
