For the last time Muhammad is not going to tell you that winning lottary number. You're looking for Loki in that department.

Or it would prove that your idea of legitimate religion is nonsense - it all depends on your point of view.

The legitimecy of Islam is found in many ways other than Prophecy come true. Muhammed was a Prophet of God of the same stature of Christ, Moses, and many others. Muhammed raised up and changed a brutal people to the most advanced civilization of its time. What more proof is need?

And he's not telling. Not unless you devote yourself to Loki. And even then, assuming you get it, there'll be strings attached.

How do I know? I venerate Loki. He's a sonofabitch.

Interesting article (though the first prophecy was a bit... ropey... I don't think you needed to be divinely inspired to predict the Persian defeat :p) - more like that on the site?

You know a prophet isn't neccessarily defined by someone who receives visions or intuitions of future events. In the Bible at the time of the Hebrews the prophets were more like inspirational leaders, they looked to God's teachings to try and see what he wanted and how thing would possibly happen if they didn't follow God's will. They were interpreters of the Torah etc. Jeremiah (I think it was him) in the time of the kingdom split said that the division occured because the Hebrews were not keeping the covenant, and that the Assyrians would take over them if they did not renew his covenantal devotion. He said that the rich were getting richer, and the poor poorer, and that wasn't what god wanted. He never received any visions or prophetic inspiration (directly) from God. The Judges were much the same in this way. I think your perceptions and misconceptions of what a prophet really is maybe the problem here. Just my two cents...:)

Well the thing about Muhammad's "prophecies" were that they were things Allah said would happen during Muhammad's lifetime. They all did. But they weren't Muhammad's prophecies, just him saying what Allah told him. Can hearsay be prophecy? Hrmmm ...

I think, however, the OP is more looking for doomsday prophecy or endtime prophecy. Something neither Isaiah nor Elijah nor Moses nor anyone except the apostles did, so I guess it's not prophecy unless it comes from an apostle.

*shrug*

This whole thread isn't my problem.

Exactly! I think the OP needs to look up Nostradamus instead. But, then again, divination is a sin, so he may just be getting himself into trouble.

I'm thinking Jeremiah needs to slap the OP in the head with a rotten flounder.

Ignored my link, didn't ya troll? S'ok ... I forgive you for being illiterate.

I also suggest you find out the definition of "Prophet" and "Prophecy" in the Biblical sense. It doesn't mean "predict the future". Divination (predicting the future) is a sin and, well, thou shalt not suffer a witch to live, remember?

Now ... go forth and sin no more.

Oh ... and all of Qur'an is prophecy. All of it.

So ... there.

Because a prophet is a person who communicates with god(s)? A prophet is not necessarily a fortune teller.

When you post a question, ignore the answers with accurate and informative information, then repeat your question over and over again when your mind is already made up, that makes you ...

A troll ...

... or a Generalite.

Either way, knock off the indignant whining and discuss the answers. Either that, or go away. Matters not at all to us which you choose.

And Christianity's are really any better? Mohammad was a general, so he makes guesses about armies. Various biblical prophets were religious leaders, so they made guesses about other religious leaders. Both have to be heavily interpreted to really be considered right, and both contain large elements of self-fulfillment. That's how prophecies work.

Ok now it's your turn to answer questions.

1] What is your definition of "Prophet"?

2] What is your definition of "Prophecy"?

3] How would it affect your life if Islam were "proven" to be illegitamite? What one tiny bit of difference would it make?

Do we have to go through this again? A "Prophet" is a person with whom God communicates and delivers a message through, not a person who predicts the future.

The fun thing about that is whenever I hear it from Christians (and they're the only ones I hear it from), I always ask them that if that were true, then there must be more than one god. One cannot be better unless there are more than one of you.

So, I ask them to prove to me that there's more than one god in the universe.

It usually sends them away scratching their heads, though I do get the occasional "You're worshipping Satan!" bit. Always amusing.

Yes, that is factually correct, but If I might paraphrase the retort -

"Allah is not the Gawd of the Bible - its a pagan moon-Gawd. Mohammed is dead and cannot help you. Jesus is alive! " etc etc.

I assume that you are refering to the resurrection of Christ and then His body going into heaven. Well, Muslims make the same claim for Muhammed, as do other religions around the world. They have just as much proof as Chrisitianity does for their claims. Is it possible that the resurrection was not a physical resurrection but a spiritual resurrection?
