|
Jesus raised Himself from the dead (Matthew

His Birth, Life, Death, Resurrection was
foretold by numerous prophets. See
here Proverbs 30:4 (written 700 B.C./1300
yrs before Muhammad): "...What is His name, and
what is His son's name, if
thou canst tell?" |
Nothing predicted about Muhammad.
The "Comforter" was the Holy Spirit Jesus promised the apostles.
|
|
Jesus lived a sinless life (2
Corinthians 5:21). |
Allah himself refers to
Muhammad as sinful (Sura 40:55, 48:1-2). |
|
Jesus did numerous miracles to prove His divinity, including
raising the dead and command over nature
(All Gospel writers and Josephus). While
teaching his apostles Jesus said; "Believe me when I say that I
am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on
the evidence of the miracles themselves" (John
14:11 and Matthew 9:2-7) |
On two occasions in the Qur'an Muhammad admitted he could do no miracles Sura 17:90-95; 3:183, also see: 29:50-51) |
|
Jesus cared for His
enemies (Matthew
5:43-44).
Jesus promised to save those who believe and trust in Him. |
Killed his enemies and anyone who disagreed with him
(Sura 9:5) |
|
Held a
high view of marriage and hated divorce - as God the
Father does (Matthew 19:7-8). |
Muhammad commanded
his adopted son to divorce his wife so that she would become his
(Sura 33:36-38) |
|
Accurately
prophesied many verifiable events that took place
after His time (Matthew
24). |

-questionable- guess/prophecy
about the Romans winning a future battle. No

|
Jesus gave his disciples authority to drive out evil spirits and to heal every disease and sickness (Matthew
10:1; Mark 6:12-13) |
Muhammad gave his followers the authority to wage war on unbelievers. |
|
Jesus told his disciples not to ask for money, and not to carry
money with them. (Matthew 10:8-9,
Luke 10:7) |
Muhammad instructed his followers on how
to divide booty they seized from unbelievers.
|
|
Jesus said to his followers that if anyone will not welcome you,
shake the dust off your feet when you leave that home or town.
(Matthew 10:14-15,
23) |
Muhammad ordered
Muslims to attack any city that rejected Islam. |
| Jesus told his followers to get ready,
because unbelievers would flog them, arrest them, and put them
on trial (Matthew 10:16-19) |
Muhammad told his followers to fight (militarily) hard against unbelievers.
"Kill the Mushrikun (unbelievers) wherever you find them, and
capture them and besiege them, and lie in wait for them in each
and every ambush..." Sura 9:5. Also see Sura 9:29. |
| Jesus washed his
disciples' feet. He riseth from supper, and laid aside his
garments; and took a towel, and girded himself. After that he
poureth water into a bason, and began to wash the disciples'
feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded. (John 13:4-5,
12-17) |
One day after battle,
Muhammad came back home and said to his daughter Fatima, "Wash
the blood from this sword and I swear in the name of Allah this
sword was obeying me all the time." Muhammad then took the
swords of his friend Ali ibn Abu Talib and washed them for him. |
|
Jesus' last message to his followers about himself and his
mission: Thus it is
written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from
the dead the third day: And that repentance and remission of
sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning
at Jerusalem. (Luke 24:46-47) |
Muhammad's last speech to his followers on Mt Arafat:
....."I descended by
Allah with the sword in my hand, and my wealth will come from
the shadow of my sword. And the one who will disagree with me
will be humiliated and persecuted."
