According to The Bible, God never spoke with Moses "face to face." Moses was never allowed to look at God in the face, because to do so would kill him. He was able to glimpse the back of God once.

If God spoke to Moses face to face Exodus 33v11 then why did Moses not die Exodus 33v20?

God spoke to Moses numerous times. The verse you were talking about was when God said to Moses no-one is allowed to see me, and the people that do see me will perish. So the answer to your question is because Moses was told he could. The whole Bible truth answer: If you study from the Bible, God usually sent messages to the people by an angel or a human being prophet. This was done for many reasons, the least of which not being, that God would have instantly evaporated or destroyed any to whom he physically appeared to in person by His Holiness and His glory. Also if you study closely Gods interaction with Moses, many times He spoke audibly to Moses from behind a cloud, which covers the glory of God. God spoke to Moses from this cloud covering as protection to Moses. Without the cloud, Moses would have been incinerated instantly by the glory of God. So, Moses experienced God in person, in that God directly talked to Moses from behind this cloud cover, and Moses talked to God, but Moses never "directly" viewed God "face to face", but he did speak to Him "face to face" as in, he spoke to God "in person", not through an intermediary like a prophet, or angel or such sort, but first hand. That is the meaning of Moses speaking "face to face' with God.

Is it true or false that Jesus is a prophet of the Islamic faith?

It is trueIt is true that he is considered a prophet in the Islamic faith although the majority of Christians consider him God or son of God and not a prophet.Islam means Submission to God. In this universal meaning it is the objective of God revelations to all prophets including Noah, Abraham, Ismael, Isac, Jacob, Moses, Jesus and the last prophet Mohamed.However, although the three great prophets Moses, Jesus, And Mohamed (peace upon them) are prophets of Islam,the religion according to God revelation to Prophet Moses is called Judaism,the religion according to God revelation to Prophet Jesus is called Christianity, andthe religion according to God revelation to Prophet Mohamed is called the same name Islam.


Why was Mohammed the last prophet?

Answer AYes, Prophet Muhammad (peace upon him) is the last prophet and the holy book Quran is last God revelation to mankind. Answer BThere are some faiths (e.g. the Mormons) who believe that there have been prophets after the time of Muhammad. Answer CPer Islam religion, Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the last God prophet and last Messenger assigned by Allah (God in English and same God worshiped in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam). He is one of the five greatest God prophets; namely Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad (Peace be upon them all). One should be able to differentiate between true God prophets and false claimed prophets. Per God Qur'an revelation to prophet Muhammad, prophet Muhammad is the last God prophet. Qur'an is the last God holy book.

Do Muslims honor Jews such as Abraham and Moses?

Strictly speaking, neither Abraham nor Moses was a Jew and Muslims consider both of these figures to be Muslims. _______________________________________________________________ Muslims consider Abraham and Moses to be two of the five greatest prophets; namely prophets Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad, peace be upon them all; and honor them accordingly. I wonder how some believe that Abraham was a Jew while Judaism started by God revelation of Torah to prophet Moses; peace be upon him; many years after prophet Abraham era. The logic behind considering both Abraham and Moses as Muslims is that Islam means surrender and full submission to God; the Creator; which is God religion since start of universe and mankind creation. Islam per God revelation of Torah to Moses is called Judaism, Islam per God revelation of the Bible to Jesus is called Christianity. Islam per Quran revelation to Muhammad is called the same name Islam as it is the last God religion and prophet Muhammad is the last God prophet.
