How does the Muhammad fair with Joseph Smith?

Answer 1

Mohammad and Joseph Smith are very similar, and members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" Church) and the Muslim community often get along very well because they have similar values.

Mohammad and Joseph Smith both came from un-privileged childhoods. They each claimed to have seen miraculous visions of God and angels. In these visions they were instructed to begin a new religious movement and given revelation and scripture to write and translate. They are both regarded as Prophets and although not worshiped, are highly respected by their followers. Each of their religious movements grew rapidly. Both Islam and Mormonism have some high moral standards. They both have a health code which prohibits the use of alcohol. They both strive to dress modestly. They both find prayer, scripture study, and worship very important. They both have a strict code of chastity, and both of them historically have accepted polygamy as a practice, although Mormons have rejected that practice.
