How many centuries ago was Mohammad born?
Muhammad was born after about "567"years Allah raised Jesus to him , Jesus doesn't dead yet
Well , basically , Islam is growing. Islam is the most influential religion on the planet. Muslims are generally very practicing people. They practice their faith while Christians in the West don't care about Christianity. Almost ALL the neutral sources say that Islam is growing..
The associated consequences are obvious. Christians are basically reformed and know what bad exists in Bible. They have reformed and are now moving towards better society. Islam on the other hand is not yet reformed. That's why one of the bloodiest wars ever on muslims known as CRUSADES is not repeating. Christians have reformed to such an extent that all cruelty in the name of Jesus is removed. On the other hand, cruelty in the name of Allah still exists.
9/11 - USA bombings
7/7 - London Bombings
26/11 - IND Bombings
31/3 - Thailand Bombings
270 million slaughters of Christians, Zoroastrians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists etc.
Shia - Sunni wars
All deadly attacks in the name of GOD, are done by muslims. The only sole reason is that they practice their religion with utmost care.
On the other hand, the Christians are totally reformed, there are at least 1 billion Christians worldwide who dont want to repeat Crusades and consider Crusades as the last option, that too if needed. BUT for Muslims, it is religious duty to enforce Shariah and subjugate / persecute / murder innocent non muslims.
Muslims do rally in UK calling for repeat of 7/7. They do rally in IND calling for repeat of 26/11. They also do rally in Europe saying - ACCEPT ISLAM, LEARN FROM 9/11.
This is the actual problem. In Christianity, if a man considers killing others as a service to GOD, some Christians become vocal against him. They ensure that the pro - terrorist is either sent to Jesus OR made to lament. In no cases, a Christian terrorist is declared martyr. BUT, in Islam; first - a terrorist is martyr since he kills in the name of Allah, second - rarely any muslim will criticize him, third - If any muslim criticizes him (by mistake), he would have fatwa issued on his name - Ex: Harun Yahya is boycotted. Tahir Ul Qadri is declared shirk (a sin as per islamic sources). Javed Ghamidi faced death attacks and Nawab Karim was sent to Allah.

Arab nations are one of the richest lands in the world. They bribe people urging them to convert. Many such conversions are done. The second way, islam converts is by using Al Taqiyya which means deception. They can lie and deceive innocent non muslims to trap them. The Al Taqiyya is permitted till muslims are in minority. The moment they attain majority, it becomes a fair game. Fairness as per islam standards is repeatation of holocausts of non muslims. The biggest holocaust in the world history is slaughter of 80 million hindus to the Jihadi hands. (proven by Will Durant AND Koenraad Elst). Hitler was a peaceloving Deutsch leader. For some time, he came in contact with Mullahs and Maulvis. He then left Christianity to become Mohammedan. After that, happened World Wars. The second biggest holocaust - Jew holocaust of Israel.
Yes, Islam is growing and in the same way, terrorism is also growing. The reason for growth of terrorism is NOT actually increase of radical muslims BUT peaceful muslims doing nothing.
Who was Muhammad and why is he special?
Mohammed is central in Islam because he revealed the Qur'an, the holy book that Muslims believe is the final act of prophecy. He also set up an Islamic State, becoming its first leader both in battle and in negotiations, providing an exemplar for future generations.
Who is the relative of the Prophet Muhammad whose name is mentioned in the Quran?
Only one blood relative of the holy Prophet (SAW) has been mentioned inthe Qur'an, with the severest punishment for him in the hereafter. He was his real Uncle-Abu Lahb- who was his worst enemy who tortured him, debesed and insulted him the most. The only other person named in the Qur'an is the slave (set free) Hazrat Zaid bin Haris (RAU).
What was the relation between hazrat Ibrahim and Muhammad S A W?
Answer:
Firstly, Moses is a descendant of Abraham, through Isaac, Jacob and Joseph.
Secondly, Moses, like every other true Prophet of God, taught the very same creed as Abraham. It is the creed of every Prophet:
How many wives did Muhammad have at one time?
Although the Quran states that a Muslim could only have four wives at one time, Muhammad had nine wives. According the th Quran, Muhammad received a licence to have additional wives, not permitted to others in the Islamic faith.
Sura 033.050 says: "O Prophet! Lo! We have made lawful unto thee thy wives unto whom thou hast paid their dowries, and those whom thy right hand possesseth of those whom Allah hath given thee as spoils of war, and the daughters of thine uncle on the father's side and the daughters of thine aunts on the father's side, and the daughters of thine uncle on the mother's side and the daughters of thine aunts on the mother's side who emigrated with thee, and a believing woman if she give herself unto the Prophet and the Prophet desire to ask her in marriage - a privilege for thee only, not for the (rest of) believers ..."

Did the prophet Mohammed really exist?
Ebrahim Jasat
As,Muslims we believe in the existence of prophet muhammed s.a.w and he is the founder of the religion of Islam and no other prophet will come.
From Willravel:
If you're looking for direct evidence, I doubt you're going to find anything concrete. There's probably a better case to be made for the existence of Muhammad than there is for, say, Jesus, but it's still going to be difficult because record-keeping was messy in that area at that time. If I had to give an answer, I would say there's not enough evidence to conclude there was a Muhammad, however there may have been such a man. It's highly unlikely, however, that even if he did exist he did most the things attributed to him in the Qur'an, especially those of a supernatural nature (speaking to god, bifurcation of the moon, being really good at absolutely everything he ever did, etc.). That could easily be chalked up to embellishment in oral tradition during the early years of Islam.
What are the name of the two prophets of the Bible?
Samuel, Nehemiah, Isaiah, Daniel, Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi.
Most of the prophets for each king are unrecorded, but Gad Nathan were prophets under king David.
There's a list of prophets at wikipedia, but many of these were scribes, not prophets in the literal sense. Also, some of these listed are not prophets as we understand them. Take the list with a grain of salt, and research each name before using them.
What clan was Muhammad born into?
Muhammad was born in 570 C.E. to the the Banu Hashim clan of the Quraysh tribe.
Teachings of the Prophet Muhammad are held in the highest esteem by Muslims and those who appreciate world traditions of spirituality. He taught by example and storytelling and his actions as recounted in the Hadith (collection of eyewitness accounts of his sayings and deeds) and in the Qur'an, which Muslims believe to be the Word of God transmitted by revelation to the Prophet.
What do Muslims believe about death?
It is believed that death will end the time that you were given on this earth. After death, you will go back to the earth or dissolve, till you are summoned again (on the Day of Judgement).
As long as you are alive, you continue to do good or bad deeds. All of it is recorded. Death ends you time to do any deed. Then, you are summoned and told about the good v/s bad deeds which you did, when you were alive. Based on which way the balance tilts, whether you have more rewards or sins, you are shown your place--Heaven or Hell. Remember, all can be forgiven except "shirk" or worshipping or having faith on others, instead of Allah. Believing that an email / stone / amulet / ring etc can bring you good / bad luck is also shirk. God bless you for asking

If a muslim does not pray will he go to heaven?
A true Muslim must pray at least five times a day. Anyhow, Almighty Allah is Merciful beyond our thinking. He may forgive anybody for any small act of kindness and obedience. Going to heaven purely and solely depends upon His Sweet will and Mercy.
What is the collection of muhammads words and deeds which serve as a guide for living for Muslims?
The collection of such writings are of two types. One is called Ahadih (The sayings of he beloved Prophet SAW). The second is the LIfe History (Seerat) of the holy Prophet (SAW).
What year did Gabriel come to Muhammad?
1) The messages given were contradictory: Gabriel gave a message to Mary, the mother of Jesus, that Jesus would be called the Son of God (Luke 1:35). Gabriel gave a message to Prophet Daniel that Messiah would die for sins (Dan 9:24-26). The spirit that spoke to Mohammad gave a contradictory message. Hence the Biblical Gabriel did not speak to Mohammad.
2) The Biblical figures knew who appeared to them, Mohammad did not: Daniel, Zachariah and Mary knew that it was Gabriel who appeared to them (Daniel 9:21, Luke 1:19, Luke 1:26-35). Mohammad was not aware of who spoke to him at the Cave of Hira. It was the opinion of his wife Kadijah and his cousin Waraqa that made Mohammad to believe that it was Gabriel of the Bible who spoke to him.
3) The Biblical figures were never forced to do anything by Gabriel but Mohammad was forcefully pressed down to the ground: This spirit who spoke to Mohammad pressed him down forcefully and asked him to recite, to which the terrified Mohammad replied I cannot recite. This ordeal repeated three times!
4) The spirit was ignorant that Mohammad could not read : The spirit asked three times Mohammad to read. A real angel of God should have known that he do not know how to read.
5) Mohammad was terrified even hours after this spirit spoke to him: Mohammad had to go to Kadijah, his first wife, terrified and said "Cover me, cover me." This experience of fear was with Mohammad several days. This was never the case of Biblical prophets like Moses, Daniel or Elijah when angels spoke to them. Biblical figures were not fearful after the Gabriel talked to them.
6) Mohammad had suicidal thoughts after Jibriel's visit at the Cave of Hira: Mohammad was on the way to a mountain to throw himself down to commit suicide after Jibriel visitation. Biblical prophets never had this behavior after being visited by Gabriel.
7) Mohammad had revelations from Satan: Surah 22:52 is described as satanic verses as in the Salman Rushdie's book. Islamic interpretation of this verse in Ibn Kathir 1999 Printing, V5, P441 says that satan cast into Mohammad's mouth Surah 53:19-20 and he bowed down to idols. Biblical prophets such as Moses, Daniel or David never had revelations from Satan.
All these evidences show that Gabriel from God did to speak to Mohammad. He might have had a visit from an angel of Satan who can come as an angel of Light. Bible says: And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light (2Cor11:14). Satan is always against God's plan. Satan wanted to deceive millions of people by turning them from Jesus Christ who died for their sins to give them heaven.
Answer 3 (comments on Answer 2 with one to one correspondence):- The contradictory message is due to human alterations introduced to the Bible and not because of contradictions in Gabriel sayings. One of the objectives of Quran revelation is to correct for deviations in the Bible written texts from the original revelations.
- Not logic that anyone; to whom Gabriel appeared for first; will know that it was Gabriel. Sure they knew afterward. The other point is that the current Bible texts are not real word God revelations but writings of some Christian leaders; some hundreds of years after Jesus claimed death; according to their own aspirations so how it is expected to explain the real feelings of all who saw Gabriel for first time.
- Muhammad was not forced to ground by the angel Gabriel. He was hugged by him three times. I never heard about this lie that he was forced to ground by Gabriel. Did prophet Muhammad told someone so? or someone was with them and so this incident?
- Does someone needs to know how to read when he reads the future?. It is a Quran verse to be conveyed to all followers of Islam and not intended to tell Muhammad to physically read something. There were no papers offered to him to read.
- It is true he was terrified. However, when prophet Muhammad returned back home, he was heavily sweating and his wife Khadija talked to her cousin Waraqah (he was prophet Jesus believer -and was deeply familiar with all God holy books) who told him that he was visited by the angel and he will be the prophet of this nation and that if he (Waraqa) will be alive until then he (Waraqa) will be the first to defend his message. This terror faded away immediately after that (did not last any longer) on the evidence that he went the other day to the cave again.
- Prophet Muhammad never thought of committing suicide. It is a crystal clear lie. He was faithful even before being assigned by God to call for Islam.
- Prophet Muhammad never bowed to any idol. Refer to Surah 22:52 to know that it is God verse talking about Satan and that is why called as satanic verses as in the Salman Rushdie's book (although Salman Rushdie is not Muslim believer and he fabricated many issues against Islam). Surah 53:18-23 say: " Indeed he (Muhammad) saw the supreme signs of his Lord (Muhammad's Lord). (18) So did you (The pagans) observe the idols Lat and Uzza? (19) And subsequently the third, the Manat? (20) What! For you (the pagans) the son, and for Him (the Lord) the daughter? (21) Then that is surely a very unjust distribution! (22) They (the idols) are nothing but some names that you (the pagans) have coined, you (the pagans) and your forefathers - Allah has not sent any proof for them (the pagans); they (the pagans) follow only guesses and their own desires; whereas the guidance from their Lord has come to them.". So, the saying that Satan cast into Mohammad's mouth Surah 53:19-20 is a lie. Notice in the verses above that you is for plural (referring to the pagans) and singular to refer to the prophet. It is explicitly clear when you read the Arabic text as it differentiate between you for plural and you for singular.
It remains to say that:
- God never spoke directly to any of His prophets except through an angel. The only exceptions are God direct talk to prophet Moses (without being shown to Moses) and God direct talk to prophet Muhammad during the prophet miracle called "Alisraa&Miiraj".
- Prophet Muhammad ;when the Angel Gabriel talked to him;was meditating and worshiping God the same way was prophet Abraham doing.
- The proofs claimed above that It was not the angel Gabriel are not correct for two reasons: First: The current readable God holy book texts are not reflecting real God words revelations to His prophets as Quran. They were written by more than one man and over hundreds of years after death of Jesus (Peace be upon him) and not in the original revelation language. So, no one knows the real feelings of other prophets when met with the angels. Second: One can read in the proofs that Quran is a real God word revelations to prophet Muhammad to believe that Quran was revealed to him by the angel Gabriel and in its current Arabic language without single letter change. This explains why many famous Christian priests and Jewish religious people and others converted to Islam.
When did Muhammad leave to Mecca or Makkah?

It is not necessarily called "different" types of Muslims. Politely, Muslims are separated into two groups: Sunni and Sh'ia. Sunni is more conservative and more religious, and Sh'ias are religious but they are not that strict.

If you see Islam from a historical perspective, yes. Mohammed founded Islam in Mecca. However, according to Islamic theology, Islam has existed since the Creation of the Universe and, therefore, did not start in Mecca.
Hazrat Hassan RA and Hazrat Hussein RA are Maternal grandsons of the Prophet Muhammad(saww).
