Media has transformed into a religion..
challenging it is easy but proving it wrong is naive..impossible..wretched idea..non-Messaic yet..

If I could use one word to describe Muhammad, it would be gentle

The author needs a dictionary. Preferably English.

Isn`t this event rather controversial ? There are sections of the Muslim community that consider Milad un Nabi and the associated celebration unislamic.

The Brelvis will be celebrating it for sure.

If the American President’s daughter was killed in such a brutal way and the murderer appeared, reflect on the final result.

I thought the Pope himself was shot at by a Turk. The pope survived. As far as I can recall
he forgave the wouldbe(?) assassin too. Even to the extent of visiting him in jail and blessing him.

Another rant...

Hitler had such love for humanity & especially jews that when he was not in power he did
not touch a single jew even though everybody knows that the jews were responsible for
Germany`s defeat. In fact when they were finally convicted of their innumerable crimes they
were given the choice of dying by starvation or by lots of gas.

....Rant ends here. For the time being. :)

why we Muslims don`t start worshiping Mohammed OPENLY like Jesus -- instead of going in such a round about way.......for crying out loud.

Congratulations Mr. Shahriar Husssain on the timely and well written article on prophet
Mohammed (pbuh). Here are my few comments on the article and the first 9 interacts.

1. You say that 12th Rabi-ul-awwal is the birthday as well as the death anniversary of
prophet Mohammed (pbuh). There are muslims who believe that 12th Rabi-ul-awwal is
his birthday, but 2nd Rabi-ul-awwal is his death anniversary.

2. One interactor asks: Why we do not worship Mohammed (pbuh) as christians worship
Jesus Christ (pbuh). The answer is very simple. We, muslims do not consider Mohammed
(pbuh) as God. He is the servant and messenger of Allah (swt).

3. We know that the cause for the creation of the Universe is prophet Mohammed (pbuh).

4. There are many attributes of prophet Mohammed (pbuh), some of which you have
mentioned in the article. Another attribute that comes to mind is this: He respected other
religions. Once a delegation of christians visited him and they were his guests in Masjid-e-
Nabvi and he permitted them to pray there.

5. I have written some 75 ilogs about Islam and Arithmetic. Let me mention one relating
to prophet Mohammed (pbuh): The longest aayeth of Quran is 255th aayeth of the second sura of Quran, sura-e-baqra, known as aayeth-ul-kursi. Sum of the digits of 255 is 12,
which is his birthday. Sum of the digits of 12 is 3, which is his birthmonth, Rabi-ul-awwal,
the 3rd month of the Islamic Calendar.
Baqra

Re: # 10
My date of birth is 26th Feb. I was 26 last year. (Collective Gasp ...)
Sum of date and month is 26 + 2 = 28.
I will be 28 next year (A bigger collective gasp ....)

:D

I`ll tell you what`s a joke: a higher organism worshipping lower organisms.
