Many of the important prophets had the same kind of life stories.<br /><br />For instance, Moses was in a real sense a sort of messiah for the Israelites. He saved them. He led them from slavery.<br /><br />I have often wondered if all of the historians or biographers of these prophets, knew the other stories and used them to give legitimacy to the newest prophet. Just like Mohammed. The teachings were not enough. They had to show that they were somehow connected to or "ordained" by, these other prophets.Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05208095650375780838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7152221.post-1092818124359216862004-08-18T03:35:00.000-05:002004-08-18T03:35:00.000-05:00No worries mates!

I am really learning this as I go. I am trying to understand it the best I can.<br /><br />As i began studying, the very first thing that struck me was the similarities to Christianity and Judaism including some celebrations like passover, which is easter, which is some sort of fasting holiday for Muslims and the fact that Hannuka, 12 days of Christmas and Ramadan are within a similar time frame.<br /><br />The Mohammed story struck me right off as a knock off of Jesus's birth or the prophesy of the messiah. The only difference is that Mohammed continues to exert himself as only a man and that his people should avoid at all cost associating him with God/Allah.<br /><br />Which is funny becaue all you ever hear is "Mohammed, Pease Be upon Him (PBUH)" which is damn close to the Christian "In the name of our Lord"...<br /><br />I wonder if any Muslim scholars ever notice this?Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05208095650375780838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7152221.post-1092713073563764092004-08-16T22:24:00.000-05:002004-08-16T22:24:00.000-05:00You should have been a Professor Kat...I think you...You should have been a Professor Kat...I think you are in the wrong line of work!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
