nice question
Quote:
Its a nice question but you are actually questioning the intention of a person who doesnot exist anymore among people. But if you really are interested to know about what would have been his reaction to the present situation,then you should read the reports of the Hadiths(Prophetic traditions) of Muhammad(pbuh) in which described and informed about the future situation and the future muslims before the day of judgment. He has even indirectly criticized muslims ,the coming of anti-christ who will take over this world and bring disaster to this world ,the people will change, and muslims will further divide into different sects. In a hadith,it is mentioned that an anti-Christ will appear before the day of judgment and he will bring disaster to this world, he will call himself "GOD" and many people will fall in his trap except those who have strong faith and belief in True God. The people with strong faith will understand him as "Anti-Christ" and will not follow his path. It is also reported that he will cause shortage of food,water and other stuff and people will suffer from malnutrition, poverty will increase and he will say to the people "if you really want to survive then follow me and believe in me". This is one of the tests from God, and this is what we see happening in this present world. The prices of Oil,food, gas and other important stuff is increasing ,unemployment an health issues are increasing . Poverty is also rising and who is responsible for all this? Is Religion responsible for all this? The present economic system is responsible for all this which has taken over the world . The economic system of today is a hell for middle class especially for poor people and heaven for top class rich and influential people. It deals in the uneven distribution of wealth in the world causing the minority to become rich and majority to become poor. It is a trap and brings people into slavery and according to the interpretation of many experts, this is the indication of arrival of anti-christ. |

There is no comparison between us and him, Prophet Muhammad(pbuh) was the last and final messenger of Allah(God) and we muslims no matter how much knowledge we have about Islam still cannot make pace with him. It is not completely correct to say that he will be really annoyed and disappointed to see the present muslims because still there are many muslims who follow the teachings of Islam and are really practicing muslims. The majority of the charities and donations in the world is payed by muslims and Islamic organizations. Still muslims have the strongest level of tolerance that you might not find in other nations and this is why you see muslims in Kashmir, Bosnia, Palestine and other parts of the world facing oppositions and persecuations since more than 50 years. Muslims still have the concept of good and bad, they know the difference between sins and good deeds. This is why you see muslim communities in the West that are much closer to Islam then those living in Islamic Countries. There are good and bad people in every community and it is a fact that black sheeps are in every community. I am quiet sure that if Moses(pbuh) and Jesus(pbuh) would have arrived in our time,he would not be happy with Jews and Christians because each and every Spiritual and Religious Leader specially the Prophets and Messengers of God expect there followers to be obeying there teachings perfectly without leaving the inch of it. I hope this helps, |

Jesus(pbuh)
Quote:
Jesus(pbuh) being the prominent Prophet of God didnot say anything new ,different or exciting, all the Prophets of God brought the same divine messege. Prophet Muhammad(pbuh) since was the last and the final messenger of God, this is why he mentioned many things about the situation before the day of judgment. Jesus(pbuh) also predicted about a perticular time which was actually the time of Prophet Muhammad(pbuh) and he also said that a Messenger will come who will be the most beloved in the sight of God and he will be sent as a mercy for the entire mankind. History testifies to the fact that no Prophet or Messenger came between the period of Prophet Jesus(pbuh) and Prophet Muhammad(pbuh),inspite there was a gap of around 5 or 6 centuries between them. History testifies to the fact that the world situation at the birth time of Prophet Muhammad(pbuh) was in a worse situation in the entire history of mankind. There was no concept of elected leader and kingdom prevealed in many parts of the world especially in Rome ,Iran and other places. Middle East the land of Arabs was also not lagging behind, slavery, adultery,lawlessness and other crimes were common. There was no concept of relations, a son could marry his step mother after the death of his father and a man could marry as many women he like. In pre-Islamic Arabia,when a girl use to be born, the whole family use to morn since the birth of a female baby was considered as something as a disaster from there gods. They use to take there small female babies and bury them alive in the land. There was no social values and law established in Arab region and Prophet Muhammad(pbuh) who was sent as a mercy from God ligthened the land with the divine messege of God and removed the darkness of ignorance that prevailed in that region. And that same region become the foundation for the Science,Mathematics and astronomy. There was many ridiculous concepts at that time in Arabia. In Pre-Islamic Arabia, if any person use to fall in illness,it was considered as a magic spell and even in 18th century in Europe ,the same concept was common. Another very famous superstitious concept that was common in Arab was that if a person riding on a camel and if a camel turned left it was considered as if that person is going to face trouble and have a bad luck and vice versa if the camel turned right. Prophet Muhammad(pbuh) explained the baselessness of these concepts which had no logic and enlightened them with the messege of true God. |

Though I'm not a Muslim, I would imagine Jesus, Mohammed and Buddha (as well as any number of prophets) would speak of one voice: forgive, and love one another. Different religions have different laws and different images, but they are all directed towards the same goal, that the "new" man embrace his divinity and become one with the Creator. ![]() |

Agree
Quote:
Actually the main problem is that the Western Media is controlled by anti-muslim elements whose aim and objective is the promote Islam as a terrorist religion and US government takes advantage from this propoganda to achieve there goals but so far this same media is silent and doesnot answer the questions: 1)Who was responsible for world war1 and 2. 2)Who is responsible for bombing that took place in Pakistan and Saudia Arabia? If extremist muslims are terrorist then they should be bombing non-muslim countries. How come bombing is also taking place in Muslim Countries? 3)Who is responsible for the killing of people in Afghanistan,Iraq and Lebanon? US government is after Iran and threatens it although Iran the country whose economy itself depends on there domestic trade since US government already placed sancuntions on the oil export of Iran. A country which doesnot have proper resources to develope nuclear power is threatened to be attacked by US government and puts an allegation on Iran that it wants to attack Isreal. Although Iran has just threatened Isreal and not taken any action yet and that threat was given by Iran because of massive level of attacks carried by Isreal on Lebanon. But my question is that where was US government when Isreali forces bombed the south lebanon especially beurit? Last edited by Fahad1 : 7th May 2008 at 11:03 AM. |

I like that response and it goes along with the Baha'i view I think of the oneness of the Manifestations of God and that the religions of the world have a common Source. - Art ![]()
