Hi. Will Muhammad and the Apostle Paul both be in heaven and will they ever become buddies at the "End"? Do all Muslims reject the dear friend of Jesus and did he ever say anything bad about Jesus that the Muslims would despise him? Thanks.
Whyislam.org Forums: Did Mohammed copy Paul?
No, Muhamamd pbuh did not
copy Paul. What was said by Muhammad pbuh was from Allah swt.
Just for Laurieann--Muslims do not consider any verse in the Qur'an to quote the Bible, not a single one. Every
letter in the Qur'an was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad pbuh, from God. Muslims acknowledge that God revealed Scripture before the Qur'an, and some of that does appear in the Bible. The same source is God. It's a common error to say that the Qur'an uses the Bible as a source, when in fact, it's more correct to say that the Qur'an totally and the Bible partially are directly from God, the same source. So naturally, there are similarities.
And I don't think this verse is the only one of Paul's that coincides with Islamic theory. Overall, the theology of Paul is totally denounced by the Qur'an and hadith. If you strip it down to the basics, essentially it's rejected. But Paul wasn't completely off base. Do you know why? Because he was Jewish, studying in the Jewish tradition, and had come from a religion that was very knowledgeable about previous scriptures--that influenced his writing. That is to say, his knowledge of
Jewish texts that had been
previously revealed by God was extensive, and had a strong impact on his new Christian theology.
Muslims while denouncing the changes he affected with his new doctrine, would naturally accept many of the premises on which he built it--because they are Jewish in nature, and based on the Torah and the Psalms.
