What are the different Muslim attitudes towards other religions?
The main religious teachings found in the Koran and Hadith, have many 'suras' that teach Islam is the only way and all other views need to be assimilated or discarded. Islam has, however, respected other religions to some point. However, there are some Islamic extremists who believe anyone that is not a Muslim is condemned. Currently, ISIS/ISIL is trying to form a 'caliphate' where only Islam will be tolerated. They desire to convert the entire world - primarily through non-peaceful means.

Did mohammed the prophet have children?
Yes, Ismail had children. We know he had children because Ismail's later descendants from these children, who came to be the northern Arabs, included Prophet Muhammad (S) and his family. Muslims believe that Muhammad is the great nation in which God promised Ismail in the Book of Genesis, where it says:
"And as for Ishmael, I have heard you: I will surely bless him; I will make him fruitful and will greatly increase his numbers. He will be the father of 12 rulers, and I will make them into a great nation." (Genesis 17:20)
Answer A
The simple answer is no. However the answer is more complex than it might look on the surface.
One of Muhammad's wives was Ayesha or Aisha. Depending on what sources are used her age at marriage is sometimes put at 6 and consummation at 9. However there are a number of facts which need to be factored in.
1: Not all sources agree with Bukhari about Ayesha's age, Bukhari's Hadith were not collated until 300-odd years after Muhammad's death. Other sources give Ayesha's age as being 16 at marriage and 19 at consummation.
2: Even if her age were 6 / 9, the custom of taking child brides was a part of Middle-Eastern culture. The Jews practised it as well as many of the other nations in the Middle-East and remember too that Mary of Nazareth's age was probably around the 12-14 mark.
3: Pedophilia is both a sexual dysfunction and a legal one. Muhammad's others wives were adult women with who he apparently had very good relations. This would not normally be the case for a pedophile.
4: Customs and Traditions as well as laws were very different then from now. What is considered unacceptable now was not considered anything to comment about then.
Answer B
No. there is no mention of Prophet Muhammad being a pedophile. Prophet Muhammad was a spiritual, political, and religious leader.
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was not pedophile. What said about his marriage from Aisha (God be pleased with her) at age 6 is not true. Aisha was 19 years old when she got married with prophet Muhammad (PBUH) who was at 54 years. Another important point to be stated here is that Aisha (God be pleased with her) was engaged to another one before prophet Muhammad then this engagement was broken before being engaged to the prophet.
Aisha was 19 years old when she got married. This was in the year 2 A.H. or around year 624 AD. Prophet Mohamed was around 54 years old when married with Aisha (he was born in year 570 AD).

Who was prophet mohammed's father?
http://www.mechon-mamre.org/e/et/et0202.htm I checked that source, and the World Book Encyclopedia that I own, an old edition but still good for certain things such as this for instance, and neither one could give his name. Apparently, no one knows, not even Jews. Exodus (from the Hebrew Bible) Chapter 2; "1 And there went a man of the house of Levi, and took to wife a daughter of Levi. " Oh yeah, also, in Exodus Chapter 2, it mentions, that Mose's wife (Moses, Musa, same thing), was in fact an Arab woman; 15 Now when Pharaoh heard this thing, he sought to slay Moses. But Moses fled from the face of Pharaoh, and dweltin the land of Midian; and he sat down by a well. 16 Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters; and they came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father's flock. 17 And the shepherds came and drove them away; but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock. 18And when they came to Reuel their father, he said: 'How is it that ye are come so soon to-day?' 19 And they said: 'An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and moreover he drew water for us, and watered the flock.' 20 And he said unto his daughters: 'And where is he? Why is it that ye have left the man? call him, that he may eat bread.' 21 And Moses was content to dwell with the man; and he gave Moses Zipporah his daughter. 22 And she bore a son, and he called his name Gershom; for he said: 'I have been a stranger in a strange land.' Midian in the bible, is what is now Saudi Arabia, the area of the border with Jordan and Egypt. The Midianites though, were not Ishmaelites, they were what are refered to in Saudi Arabia as the "classical Arabs," the Beduin tribes that dwelt in those lands since long before Ishmael came into the picture. Nevertheless that changes nothing; the fact remains that Mose's wife, was an Arab woman. Now, even though Moses was a prophet of God, who delivered the ancient Hebrews from Egyptian bondage, according to ashkenazi rules, Mose's son Gershom by Ziporah, is not a Jew. Even though Moses was a prophet of God so spiritually pure, he could do miracles, Gershom is STILL not a Jew. Silly little people those ashkenazi eh? [[User:67.148.120.72|67.148.120.72]]stardingo747

In what ways were the hijrah a turning point?
The emigration to Madinah was a very important step in the development of Islam. after Hijra, the proper Islamic state was developed and so the quranic commandments addressing communal affairs were revealed. Muhammad was able to concentrate solely on delivering the true message of Islam once he was away from the violence of Makkah. Hijra also saved the early muslism from the tyranny of makkans otherwise, the new religion would have perished in the dust of Makkah.

What are the duties of a prophet?
Some of the duties of a true prophet of God are:
1) To call people to worship the One God alone - with no partners, no offspring, no father, no mother, no daughter and no son. The One and Only True God.
2) To be the best example of the message.
3) To teach people wisdom.
4) To teach the believers to purify themselves - spiritually as well as physically.
5) To deliver a scripture (if he is a messenger who is given revelation. Some prophets were messengers and some were not).
6) To bring the good news of Paradise for those who believe in the One God and obey Him, and to bring the warning of Hell for those who reject and do evil.
7) To fight against all those who fight the message or the believers. Not being an aggressor, not being an oppressor; but fighting the enemies of God who are, themselves, the aggressors and the oppressors.
Why did Muhammad have few followers from the beginning?
At first, his only followers were his family and close friends.
A:At first, no. In 610, Muhammad began receiving revelations. After 2 years, he began preaching and winning converts, initially among his family and friends. Many of the converts, including a significant number of women, were from the poorer clans and others who were unhappy about the new inequity in Mecca.The most powerful men in Mecca were able to simply ignore the Muslims, but by 616 they had become angry with Muhammad who, they said, reviled the faith of their fathers, was obviously a charlatan and only pretended to be a prophet. They had begun to fear that Muhammad was plotting to take over the leadership of Mecca.
Envoys from Yathrib (Medina) approached Muhammad during the (pre-Islamic) hajj in 620, converted to Islam and undertook a treaty of mutual support with the Muslims. In 622, the Muslim families slipped away, one by one, and made the migration to Yathrib. Muhammad, whose protector had recently died, was almost assassinated before escaping. In the several years that followed, Muhammad's band of followers was able to repel attacks by pagans and Jews living in Medina.
By 630, Muhammad had attracted sufficient followers to defeat the leaders of his tribal city of Mecca. His military successes began to attract very large numbers of Arabs to his cause.
How did Muhammad's father die?
the father of prophet was Abdullah was 25 years at death and was in travel that died and never could see birth of his son Muhammad (PBUH).
When did Muhammad get the qur'an?
The prophet Muhammad,peace be upon Him, received the first Revelations of the holy Quran & became a prophet at the age of fourty,He continued to receive these Revelations through the angel Jibreel (Gabriel) PBUH along 23 years.
Of course not, he was a noble man who cared for nothing more than the rights of human beings regardless of whether they were Muslim or not. Muhammad (PBUH) constantly told his followers of the importance of human rights regardless of religion. Even during the prophets lifetime he was subjected to hate by some of the people around him, regardless of this he never ever said any bad words about them but instead prayed for them to become better people.
People who say otherwise are ignorant and have not truly studied the life of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
May Allah bless you and keep you on the right track.
