Muhammad |
|
Jesus is God (John
1, Col. 1) and
here. Jesus forgave sins and
dispelled demons in His own name. He said "I
and the Father are one". |
Muhammad admitted he is only a man (Sura 18:110) |
|
Jesus raised Himself from the dead (Matthew
28:6) and rose into heaven in front of many
witnesses. |
Muhammad remains dead |
|
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). |
Delivered only one
-questionable- guess/prophecy about the
Romans winning a future battle. No date or
place given. (Sura 30:1-4) |
|
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."
