In fact, the history surrounding prophet Jesus son of Mary (PBUH) tells us that, he NEVER claimed divinity (Still in the Bible) but tradition bound pagan infused ideas lead some people re-make him as some kind of god.It was around 350 years AFTER Jesus son of Mary (PBUH) left us, the concept of Trinity (Foundation of Christianity) was adopted in a meeting. The Bible does NOT support the concept and the word trinity cannot be found in any Bible.
Despite having selected by our Maker, prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was a mortal and worked within the " Concept of free will" when dealing with religion. One of his favorite uncles never accepted Islam (Since he was a leader of his tribe, he was worried if his people will still like him or not).
There were many other challenges and some people kept asking for miracles from Muhammad (PBUH). We see prophet Muhammad (PBUH) as a blessings from Allah (SWT) and mercy to humanity (Religious opinion).
This means that despite being a common man, such a person is holy.
>>>>>>>> Having faith in all messengers of Allah (PBUT) is mandatory in Islam. However prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was a mortal man. He was the greatest teacher of all time and most merciful man who walked on earth but NOT divine.
One scholar of Islam said, OUR REVERENCE IS FOR ALLAH (SWT) AND OUR REFERENCE IS MUHAMMAD (PBUH).
Shalom!

In Mukto-Mona some members sincerely wanted to know why we send prayers/salah upon prophet Muhammad (PBUH). For a non-Muslim, sometime it is difficult to understand without understanding how a religious figure relate to us (Muslims) or what is the status of our last messenger (PBUH). So I am sharing the following information as a follow up to some information given earlier.

Re: [mukto-mona] Mercy is an important trait of Muslims
Since Muhammad son of Abdullah (PBUH) was getting revelations from Allah (SWT), SOME people began to thought he was divine.

"Prophet: Say I am only a mortal like you"
What's the message here? Do you think religious people were thinking that he was immortal?
For the sake of argument I want to ask whether there are or were great men who taught us how to behave as an individual or a group. Will they have the same status as the prophet have? I am sure the answer would be in the negative. This means that despite being a common man, such a person is holy.
Dear all,
Prophet: Say I am only a
mortal like you
In the following article Javeed Akhter reviews the life of Prophet Muhammad
Respond to hate with love.
A reading of Prophet Muhammad's
The way to show love for a person you admire is to emulate his behavior and not get emotional and angry to the point of killing someone or getting killed. Those who promote this type of angry response need to go back and read and reflect on the Seerah (Biography) of the Prophet. The strongest among people, he taught, is one who can overcome anger.
The near deification of Prophet Muhammad
The visceral reaction some Muslims have to denigration of the Prophet may have to do with how his persona is looked upon by many Muslims. As seen in the yearly Milad-un-Nabi celebrations amongst South Asians, the veneration of the Prophet reaches the level of near deification. He is the perfect man (insane-e-Kamil), sinless and flawless. The sinless part is true but there were minor errors that the Qur'an alludes to as in the Chapter "He Frowned" (Abasa). I have met intelligent, educated folks who with a straight face have stated that Prophet Muhammad
Prophet Muhammad
One can almost hear the Prophet's protestation as recorded in the Qur'an; "Say: I am only a mortal like you (Qul innama ana basharun mithlukum). My Lord inspireth in me that your God is only One God. And whoever hopeth for the meeting with his Lord, let him do righteous work, and make none share of the worship due unto his Lord." (Qur'an 18:110)
The Qur'an repeatedly stresses his mortality; "Muhammad is no more than an Apostle. Apostles before him have passed away. If he dies or is slain, will ye then turn on your heels? And he who turneth on his heels shall not in the least injure Allah. And Allah will soon reward the grateful." (Qur'an 3:144)
Abu Bakr in his wise and poignant speech at the Prophet's death made this point clear; "O men, If you have been worshipping Muhammad
