A Prophet Like Moses

Very nice information and thank you for sharing it here.

Moses was not son of God
Moses got married and died a natural death
Moses didn’t die on the cross neither rose again
Moses fought the Holy war

you are really a funny person
u only reply by attacking islam
can u first proove your belief
how can Jesus be a prophet like moses
while
Moses was not son of God or God ...
Moses got married and died a natural death
Moses didn’t die on the cross neither rose again
Moses fought the Holy war

In the FIRST place Jesus is not
like Moses, because, according to you - 'JESUS IS A GOD', but Moses
is not God
SECONDLY, according to you - 'JESUS DIED
FOR THE SINS OF THE WORLD', but Mose s did not have to die for the
sins of the world.
THIRDLY, according to you -
'JESUS WENT TO HELL FOR THREE DAYS', but Moses did not have to go
there.

since you raised the issue of prophet Muhammed in that verse let me tell you that :

1-Father and Mother
Moses had a father and a mother. Muhummed also had a father
and a mother. But Jesus had only a mother, and no human father
2-Miraculous Birth
Moses and Muhummed were born in the normal, natural course,
i.e. the physical association of man and woman; but Jesus was
created by a special miracle
3-Marriage Ties
Moses and Muhummed married and begat children, but Jesus
remained a bachelor all his life
4-Jesus Rejected by his People
Moses and Muhummed were accepted as prophets by their people
in their very lifetime. No doubt the Jews gave endless trouble to
Moses and they murmured in the wilderness, but as a nation, they
acknowledged that Moses was a Messenger of God sent to them. The
Arabs too made Muhummed's life imposs ible. He suffered very badly
at their hands. After 13 years of preaching in Mecca, he had to
emigrate from the city of his birth. But before his demise, the
Arab nation as a whole accepted him as the Messenger of Allah. But
according to the Bible: 'He (Jesus) CAME UNTO HIS OWN, BUT HIS OWN
RECEIVED HIM NOT.' (John 1:11). And even today, ofter two thousand
years, his people- the Jews, as a whole, have rejeted him.
5-"Other-Wordly" Kingdom
Moses and Muhummed were prophets as well as kings. A prophet
means a man who receives Divine Revelation for the Guidance of Man
and this Guidance he conveys to God's creatures as received without
any addition or deletion. A king is a person who has the power of
life and death over his people. It is immaterial whether the person
wears a crown or not, or whether he was ever addressed as king or
monarch: if the man has the prerogative of inflicting capital
punishment - HE IS A KING. Moses possessed such a power. Do you
remember the Israelite who was found picking up firewood on Sabbath
Day , and Moses had him stoned to death? (Numbers- 15:13). There
are other crimes also mentioned in the Bible for which capital
punishment was inflicted on the Jews at the behest of Moses.
Muhummed too, had the power of life and death over his people.
There are instances in the Bible of persons who wer e given gift of
prophecy only, but they were not in a position to implement their
directives. Some of these holy men of God who were helpless in the
face of stubborn rejection of their mesage, were the prophets lot,
Jonah, Daniel, Ezra, and John the Baptist. They could only deliver
the message, but could not enforce the Law. The Holy Prophet Jesus
(Peace b.u.h) also belonged to this category. The Christian Gospel
clearly confirms this: when Jesus was dragged before the Roman
Governor, Pontius Pilate, Charged for sedition, Jesus made a
convincing point in his defence to refute the false charg e: JESUS
ANSWERED, "MY KINGDOM IS NOT OF THIS WORLD': IF MY KINGDOM WERE OF
THIS WORLD, THEN WOULD MY SERVANTS FIGHT, THAT I SHOULD NOT BE
DELIVERED TO THE JEWS; BUT NOW IS MY KINGDOM NOT FROM
HENCE"(John 18:36) This convinced Pilate (A Pagan) that
though Jesus might not be in full possessio n of his mental
faculty, he did not strike him as being a danger to his rule. Jesus
claimed a spiritual Kingdom only; in other words he only claimed to
be a Prophet.
6-No New Laws
Moses and Muhummed brought new laws and new regulations for
their people. Moses not only gave the Ten Commandments to the
Israelites, but a very comprehensive ceremonial law for the
guidance of his people. Muhummed comes to a people steeped in
barbarism and ignorance. They married their step-m others; they
buried their daughters alive; drunkenness, adultery, idolatry, and
gambling were the order of the day. Gibbon describe the Arabs
before Islam in his "Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire", THE
HUMAN BRUTE, ALMOST WITHOUT SENSE, IS POORLY DISTINGUISHED FROM THE
REST OF THE ANIMAL CREATI ON.' There was hardly anything to
distinguish between the "man" and the "animal" of the time; they
were animals in human form.
"From this abject barbarism, Muhummed elevated them, in the
words of Thomas Carlysle, 'into torch-bearers of light and
learning.' 'TO THE ARAB NATION IT WAS AS A BIRTH FROM DARKNESS INTO
LIGHT. ARABIA FIRST BECAME ALIVE BY MEANS OF IT. A POOR SHEPHERD
PEOPLE, ROAMING UNNOTICED IN ITS DESERTS SINCE THE CREATION OF THE
WORLD. SEE, THE UNNOTICED BECOMES WORLD NOTABLE, THE SMALL HAS
GROWN WORLD-GREAT. WITHIN ONE CENTURY AFTERWARDS ARABIA WAS AT
GRANADA ON ONE HAND AND AT DELHI ON THE OTHER. GLANCING IN VALOUR
AND SPLENDOUR, AND THE LIGHT OF GENIUS, ARABIA SHINES OVER A GREA
SECTION OF THE WORLD. ...' The fact is that Muhummed gave his
people a Law and Order they never had before.
"As regards Jesus, when the Jews felt suspicious of him that he
might be an imposter with designs to pervert their teachings, Jesus
took pains to assure them that he had not come with a new religion
- no new laws and no new regulations. I quote his own words: 'THINK
NOT THAT IAM COME TO DESTROY THE LAW, OR THE PROPHETS: IAM NOT COME
TO DESTROY, BUT TO FULFIL. FOR VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU, TILL HEAVEN
AND EARTH PASS, ONE JOT OR ONE TITLE SHALL IN NO WISE PASS FROM THE
LAW, TILL ALL BE FULFILLED.'(Mathew 5:17-18). In other words
he had not come with any new laws or regulation he came only to
fulfil the old law. This what he gave the Jews to understand-
unless he was speaking with the tongue in his cheek trying to bluff
the Jews into accepting him as a man of God and by subterfuge
trying to ram a new religion down their throats. No! This Messenger
of God would never resort to such fo ul means to subvert the
Religion of God. He himself fulfilled the laws. He observed the
commandments of Moses, and he respected the Sabbath. At no time did
a single Jew point a finger at him to say, 'why don't you fast' or
'why don't you wash your hands before you break bread',which
charges they al wasy levied against his disciples, but never
against Jesus. This is because as a good Jew he honoured the laws
of the prophets who preceded him. In short, he had created no new
religion and had brought no new law like Moses and Muhummed.
7-How they Departed
Both Moses and Muhummed died natural deaths, but according to
Christianity, Jesus was violently killed on the cross.
8-Heavenly Abode
Moses and Muhummed both lie buried in earth, but according to
you, Jesus in heaven.

Ishmael The First Born
so far what I have done is to prove only one point out of
the whole prophecy- that is proving the phrase 'LIKE UNTO THEE' -
'Like You' 'Like Moses'. The Prophecy is much more than this single
phrase which reads as follows : "I WILL RAISE THEM UP A PROPHET
FROM AMONG THEIR BRETHREN LIKE UNTO THEE......." The emphasis is on
the words- "From among their brethren." Moses and his people, the
Jews, are here addressed as a racial entity, and as such their
'brethren' would undoubtedly be the arabs. You see, the Holy Bible
s peaks of Abraham as the "Friend of God". Abraham had two wives -
Sarah and Hagar. Hagar bore Abraham a son - HIS FIRST-BORN-
'......And Abraham(11) called HIS SON'S name, which Hagar bare
Ishmael.' (Genesis 16:15). 'And Abraham took Ishmael HIS
SON......" (Genesis 17:23). 'And Ishmael HIS SON was
thirteen years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his
foreskin.'(Genesis 17:25). Up to the age of THIRTEEN Ishmael
was the ONLY son and sed of Abraham, when the covenant was ratified
between God and Abraham. God grants Abraham another son through
Sarah, named Isaac, wh o was very much the junior to his brother
Ishmael.
Arabs and Jews
If Ishmael and Isaac are the sons of the same father Abraham, then
they are brothers. And so the children of the one are the BRETHREN
of the children of the other. The children of Isaac are the Jews
and the Children of Ishmael are the Arabs - so they are BRETHREN to
one another. The Bible affirms, 'AND HE (ISHMAEL) SHALL DWELL IN
THE PRESENCE OF ALL HIS BRETHREN.' (Genesis 16:12). 'AND HE
(ISHMAEL) DIED IN THE PRESENCE OF ALL HIS BRETHREN.(Genesis
25:18). The children of Isaac are the brethren of the
Ishmaelites. In like manner Muhummed is from among the brethren of
the Israeli tes beause he was a descendant of Ishamel the son of
Abraham. This exactly as the prophecy has it- 'FROM AMONG THEIR
BRETHREN'.(Deut.18:18). There the prophecy distinctly
mentions that the coming prophet who would be like Moses, must
arise NOT from the 'children of Israel' or from 'among the
mselves', but from among their brethren. MUHUMMED THEREFORE WAS
FROM AMONG THEIR BRETHREN!Words in the Mouth
"The prophecy proceeds further:'.......AND I WILL PUT MY WORDS INTO
HIS MOUTH.......' What does it mean when it is said 'I will put my
words in your mouth'?
If I were to teach you a language like Arabic about
which you have no knowledge, and if I asked you to read or repeat
after me what I utter i.e.:
"SAY: HE IS ALLAH THE ONE AND ONLY;
ALLAH, THE ETERNAL ABSOLUTE;
HE BEGETTETH NOT, NOR IS HE BEGOTTEN:
AND THERE IS NONE LIKE UNTO HIM.
(Holy Qur'an 112:1-4)( I read them in Arabic )
Would I not be putting these unheard words of a foreign tongue
which you utter, into your mouth?
In an identical manner, the words of the Holy
Qur'an, the Revelation vouchsafed by the Almighty God to Muhummed,
were revealed.
History tells us that Muhummed was forty years of age. He was in
a cave some three miles north of the City of Mecca. It was the 27th
night of the Muslim month of Ramadaan. In the cave the Archangel
Gabriel commands him in his mother tongue:'IQRA' which means READ!
or PROCLAIM! or RECITE! Muhummed w as terrified and in his
bewilderment replied that he was not NOT LEARNED! The angel
commands him a second time with the same result. For the third time
the angel continues.
Now Muhummed, grasps, that what was required of him was to
repeat! to rehearse! And he repeats the words as they were put into
his mouth:
"READ! IN THE NAME OF THE LORD AND CHERISHER, WHO CREATED-
CREATED MAN, FROM A (MERE) CLOT OF CONGEALED BLOOD:
READ! AND THY LORD IS MOST BOUNTIFUL,-
HE WHO TAUGHT (THE USE OF) THE PEN,
TAUGHT MAN THAT WHICH HE KNEW NOT".(Holy Qur'an 96:1-5)

These are the first five verses which were revealed to Muhummed
which now occupy the beginning of the 96th chapter of the Holy
Qur'an.Grave Warning
God knew that
there would be people like you who will flippantly, light-heartedly
discount his words, so he followed up Deuteronomy 18:18 with a dire
warning: "AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS, " (it is going to happen)
"THAT WHOSOEVER WILL NOT HEARKEN UNTO MY WORDS WHICH HE SHALL SPEAK
IN MY NAME, I WILL REQUIRE IT OF HIM. (in the Catholic Bible the
ending words are - "I will be the revenger", I will take vengeance
from him - I will take revenge!) "Does not this terrify you? God
Almighty is threathening revenge! We shake in our pants if some
hoodlum threathens us, yet you have no fear of God's warning?"
in the verse 19 of Deuteronomy chapter 18,
we have a further fulfilment of the prophecy in Muhummed! Note the
words-'.....MY WORDS WHICH HE SHALL SPEAK IN MY NAME," In whose
name is Muhummed speaking?"
Every chapter of the Holy Qur'an except
the 9th begin with the formula: IN THE NAME OF GOD, MOST GRACIOUS,
MOST MERCIFUL.' The Muslim begins his every lawful act with the
Holy formula. But the Christian begins: "In the name of the Father,
son and holy ghost.'"
In New Testament times, we find that the Jews were still expecting
the fulfilment of the prophecy of 'ONE LIKE MOSES', refer John
1:19-25. When Jesus claimed to be the Messiah of the Jews,the Jews
began to enquire as to where was Elias? The Jews had a parallel
prophecy that before the coming of the Messiah, Elias must come
first in his second coming. Jesus confirms this Jewish belief:
".......ELIAS TRULY SHALL FIRST COME, AND RESTORE ALL THINGS.
BUT I SAY UNTO YOU, THAT ELIAS IS COME ALREADY, AND THEY KNEW HIM
NOT,...THEN THE DISCIPLES UNDERSTOOD THAT HE SPAKE UNTO THEM OF
JOHN THE BAPTIST."(Matthew 17:11-13). According to the New
Testament the Jews were not the ones to s wallow the words of any
would-be Messiah. In their investigations they underwent intense
difficulties in order to find their true Messiah. And this the
Gospel of John confirms: "AND THIS IS THE RECORD OF JOHN,"(the
Baptist) "WHEN THE JEWS SENT PRIESTS AND LEVITES FROM JERUSALEM TO
ASK HIM, WHO ART THOU? AND HE CONFESSED AND DENIED NOT; BUT
CONFESSED, I AM NOT THE CHRIST." (This was only natural because
there can't be two Messiahs (14) at the same time. If Jesus was the
Christ then John couldn't be the Christ!) "AND THEY ASKED HIM, WHAT
THEN? ART THOU ELIAS? AND HE SAITH, I AM NOT." (Here Joh n the
Baptist contradicts Jesus! Jesus says that John is "Elias" and John
denies that he is what Jesus ascribes him to be. One of the TWO
(Jesus or John), God forbid!, is difinitely not speaking the TRUTH!
On the testimony of Jesus himself, John the Baptist was the
greatest of the Israelite prophet s:"VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU, AMOUNG
THEM THAT ARE BORN OF WOMEN THERE HAS NOT RISENA GREATER THAN JOHN
THE BAPTIST:... (Matthew 11:11).
We Muslims know John the Baptist as Hazrut YAHYAA
Alai-his-salaam (peace be upon him). We revere him as a true
prophet of Allah. The Holy Prophet Jesus known to us as Hazrut ISAA
Alai-his-salaam (peace be upon him), is also esteemed as one of the
mightiest messenger of the Almighty. How can we Musl ims impute
lies to either of them? We leave this problem between Jesus and
John for the Christians to solve, for their "sacred scriptures
abound in discrepancies which they have been glossing over as the
"dark sayings of Jesus"(15). We Muslims are really interested in
the last questions posed to Jo hn the Baptist by the Jewish elite-
"ART THOU THAT PROPHET? AND HE ANSWERED, NO."(John 1:21)
Three Questions!
Please note that three different and distinct questions were posed
to John the Baptist and to which he gave three emphatic "NO'S" as
answers. To recapitulate:-
1) ART THOU THE CHRIST?
2) ART THOU ELIAS?
3) ART THOU THAT PROPHET?
But the learned men of Christendom somehow only see two
questions implied here. To make doubly clear that the Jews
definitely had T-H-R-E-E separate prophecies in their minds when
they were interogating John the Baptist, let us read the
remonstrance of the Jews in the verses following:
"AND THEY ASKED HIM, AND SAID UNTO HIM, WHEY BAPTIZEST THOU
THEN, IF THOU BE
a) NOT THAT CHRIST,
b) NOR ELIAS,
c) NEITHER THAT PROPHET?"(John 1:25)

The Jews were waiting for the fulfilment of THREE distinct
prophecies: One, the coming of CHRIST. Two the coming of ELIAS, and
Three, the coming of THAT PROPHET.
"That Prophet"
If we look up any Bible which has a concordance or
cross-references, the we will find in the marginal note where the
words "the Prophet", or "that Prophet" occur in John 1:25, that
these words refer to the prophecy of Deuteronomy 18:15 and 18. And
that 'that prophet' - 'the prophet like Moses' - "L IKE UNTO THEE",
we have proved through overwhelming evidence that he was MUHUMMED
and not Jesus!

thanks Littlelamb

i really appreciate your feelings

i want to say that i have the same feelings for you or i wouldn't come and reply

but when u say jesus died four our sins etc i found that illogical

why does anyone have to die for our sins when God, the All-Merciful, could as easily give us forgiveness if we ask for it? Why does He have to make someone suffer for our sins or for someone else's sins? Isn't that unjust of Him?

According to the Bible the way to redemption could be obtained without the need for sacrifice. The Bible says: :
Ezekiel 18:20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.
Ezekiel 18:21 But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he hath committed, and keep all my statutes, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live, he shall not die.
Clearly the soul that sins shall die. Clearly that no one shall bear the iniquity (sins) of others. So Jesus cannot bear the sins of others either. If one is righteous then it shall be upon him, and if one commits a sin then it shall be upon him, and not on Jesus. Finally, the way to repentance and forgiveness is by turning from all sins, doing what is right, and keeping the commandments

Do you call it a decent language?

Did Mohmmed knew God face to face, did he do any miracles, and secondly Mohammed was no Israelite.

haven't u read what i wrote ?
Muhummed is from among the brethren of
the Israelites beause he was a descendant of Ishamel the son of
Abraham. This exactly as the prophecy has it- 'FROM AMONG THEIR
BRETHREN'.(Deut.18:18). There the prophecy distinctly
mentions that the coming prophet who would be like Moses, must
arise NOT from the 'children of Israel' or from 'among themselves', but from among their brethren. MUHUMMED THEREFORE WAS
FROM AMONG THEIR BRETHREN!

1 John 4
11 Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love
one another.
12 No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and
his love is made complete in us.
13 We know that we live in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit.



But did Moses know GOD Almighty face to face


Deuteronomy 34

5 And Moses the servant of the LORD died there in Moab, as the LORD had said.
6 He buried him in Moab, in the valley opposite Beth Peor, but to
this day no one knows where his grave is.
7 Moses was a hundred and twenty years old when he died, yet his eyes were not weak nor
his strength gone.
8 The Israelites grieved for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days, until the time of
weeping and mourning was over.
9 Now Joshua son of Nun was filled with the spirit of wisdom because Moses had laid his
hands on him. So the Israelites listened to him and did what the LORD had commanded Moses.

10 Since then, no prophet has risen in Israel like Moses, whom the LORD knew
face to face,
11 who did all those miraculous signs and wonders the LORD sent him to do in Egypt—to
Pharaoh and to all his officials and to his whole land.
12 For no one has ever shown the mighty power or performed the awesome deeds that Moses
did in the sight of all Israel.

As we clearly saw above, Moses never knew GOD Almighty face to face on the literal sense.
No one has ever seen GOD Almighty or the Face of GOD Almighty.

remark: Ironically, in the books of Moses above, we even read
about the details of his death and burial story. Can u tell me who wrote about Moses death in Moses' books?


Miracles granted to other Prophets before Prophet
Muhammad (Peace be upon him) were only intended for that time only, and only
for those people present at that time, as they were the only ones who witnessed
such incidents and even there were no traces left behind for us to track as
well.
let me remind you something
“Miracles may be a proof for those who witness them, but
mean nothing to others
We Muslims believe that Prophet
Muhammad (Peace be upon him) performed many miracles
can you proove to me that Jesus gave life to the dead and healed
born blind and lepers

first you know that i didn't say jesus didn't do miracles
i said quran is a living miracle
where is the living miracle of Jesus ?

Does the Quran Say That Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) Did Not Perform Any Miracles?



Verse # 1


Surah 2:118


And they that know not say, 'Why does God not speak to us? Why does
a sign (ayatun) not come to us?' So spoke those before them as these men say;
their hearts are much alike. Yet We have made clear the signs (bayyanna al-ayati)
unto a people who are sure.


This verse does not show that the Prophet did not
perform miracles. This verse was sent down in Madinah and the biggest opinion was that
this was referring to the Jews and Christians. Especially the Jews told Prophet Muhammad
(PBUH) to have God talk to them. When they said that, God revealed this verse. (Tafsir
of Tabari, Source: Online)


This happened after Mecca when the Prophet would
have done the miracle of the moon splitting to the Meccan Arabs.





Verse # 2


Surah 2:145


Yet if thou shouldst bring to those that have been given the Book every
sign (ayatun), they will not follow thy direction; thou art not a follower of their
direction, neither are they followers of one another's direction. If thou followest their
caprices, after the knowledge that has come to thee, then thou wilt surely be among the
evildoers.


Again this does not deny that Prophet Muhammad
(PBUH) performed miracles. God is simply telling the Prophet that if he came with every
kind of proof and unlimited number of miracles then they still would not believe in him. (Tafsir
of Ibn Kathir, Source: Online) The verse does not show that the Prophet
did not perform any miracles.





Verse # 3


Surah 6:37


They also say, 'Why has no sign (ayatun) been sent down upon him
from his Lord?' Say: 'Surely God is able to send down a sign (ayatan), but most
of them know not.'


The sign that they are saying that has not been
sent down to them are from the signs that they are asking for like the ones they demanded
in Surah 17:90-93. However, God is saying that he could send them down if he wished but
'they know not'. 'They know not' means that they don't know what trial and infliction they
will go through if God did indeed send down the signs they are asking for and rejected
them. (Tafsir of Jalalyn, Source:
Online)


So the verse does not deny that the Prophet
Muhammad (PBUH) ever showed them signs. But only the signs that they specifically asked
for. Just like how the people of Thamud asking Salih to have God make a she camel to come
out of the mountain (Surah 17:59) or like how the disciples asked Jesus to have God send
them down a table from heaven (Surah 5:112) and God warned that if anyone of them ever
disbelieved after He sent down the sign then He would punish them worse than anyone (Surah
5:115).


So the verse is basically saying that they don't
know the consequences of what they are getting themselves into for asking for such
specific signs.


(Tafsir of Jalalyn, Source: Online)





Verse # 4


Surah 6:109


They have sworn by God the most earnest oaths if a sign (ayatun)
comes to them they will believe in it. Say: 'Signs (al-ayatu) are only with
God.' What will make you realize that, when it comes, they will not believe?


Same thing like the previous verse. They are
asking for specific signs. (Tafsir of Jalalyn, Source: Online) This does not deny that the Prophet did
not perform any signs at all. One reason we see that God is not sending down the signs
they are requesting is because due to his omniscience He knows they won't believe just
like how the previous generations never believed.





Verse #s 5, 6 and 7


Surah 10:20


They say, 'Why has a sign (ayatun) not been sent down upon him
from his Lord?' Say: 'The Unseen belongs only to God. Then watch and wait; I shall be
with you watching and waiting.'


Surah 13:7


The unbelievers say, 'Why has a sign (ayatun) not been sent down
upon him from his Lord?' Thou art ONLY a warner, and a guide to every people.


Surah 13:27


The unbelievers say, 'Why has a sign (ayatun) not been sent down
upon him from his Lord?' Say: 'God leads astray whomsoever He will, and He guides to
Him all who are penitent.'


Three possible explanations.


One is that they keep demanding the signs that
they were specifically asking for. (Tafsir of Qurtubi, Source: Online) They would demand things like turning
Safa into gold, making the mountains surrounding Mecca disappear and in its place rivers
and gardens etc. (Tafsir of Ibn Kathir, Source: Online)


Secondly, just because the disbelievers keep
asking for a sign that does not mean that a sign has never been sent down to them.
Disbelievers will keep asking a sign. They will never believe. Just like I mentioned when
explaining Verse #2.


Thirdly, even if the sign is given to them they
want to persist and be stubborn and ask for a miracle that they want.





Here is a good example from the Gospel of Mark
8:11-12


Mark 8:11-13


¹¹The Pharisees came and began to question
Jesus. To test him, they asked him for a sign from heaven. ¹²He sighed deeply and said, "Why does this generation ask
for a miraculous sign? I tell you the truth, no sign will be given to it."


Here is the commentary.....

The leaven of the Pharisees



1. (11-12) They ask for a sign from heaven a. They are not
looking simply for an earthly miracle, but a dramatic sign from the sky; for something
like Elijah's fire from heaven
i. Tested should be tempted
ii. This unbelief caused Jesus pain

b. Jesus refuses, because His miracles are not for the sake of convincing hardened
unbelievers, but they show the power of God in the context of mercy



Source: http://www.blueletterbible.org/tmp_dir/c/1138987582-4181.html



They would still persist in asking Jesus for a
miracle even after he did several such as raising the dead back to life, curing the blind
etc.





Verse # 8


Surah 17:59


Naught prevented Us from sending the signs (bial-ayati) but that
the ancients cried lies to them; and We brought Thamood the She-camel visible, but they
did her wrong. And We do not send the signs, except to frighten.


Again from sending the signs that the Quraysh
specifically asked for just like how Thamud specifically asked for the she camel. (Tafsir
of Qurtubi, Source: Online) God did not send it down to them as a
mercy. Because God knows that if He sent the signs they asked for down to them they would
still disbelieve. If God sent it down to them and they still disbelieved then He would
have no choice but to destroy them. So it was for their own good.


Again the verse does not state that no signs have
ever been sent down, just the ones that they specifically asked for.





Verse # 9


Surah 17:90-93


They say, 'We will not believe thee till thou makest a spring to gush
forth from the earth for us, or till thou possessest a garden of plants and vines, and
thou makest rivers to gush forth abundantly all amongst it, or till thou makest heaven to
fall, as thou assertest, on us in fragments, or thou bringest God and the angels as a
surety, or till thou possessest a house of gold ornament, or till thou goest up into
heaven; and we will not believe thy going up till thou bringest down on us a book that we
may read. Say: 'Glory be to my Lord. Am I aught BUT A MORTAL, a Messenger?'


They asked the Prophet to do all this and the
Prophet is simply telling them that he is only a human being just like them. He couldn't
do those things. His only task was to deliver the message of God to them. Only God can do
these things. Not the Prophet of himself (Tafsir of Tabari, Source: Online)


How does this verse show that the Quran says that
the Prophet did not do any miracles? Yes, it shows that the Prophet could not do miracles
on his own and only by the permission of God. But where does it show that the did not do
any miracles at all?


Verse # 10


Surah 28:48


Yet when the truth came to them 'from Ourselves, they said, 'Why has he
not been given the like' of that Moses was given?' But they, did they not disbelieve
also in what Moses was given aforetime? They said, 'A pair of sorceries mutually
supporting each other.' They said, 'We disbelieve both.'


Again they are demanding specific signs. They are
demanding signs similar to Moses such as the locusts, the stick turning into a snake
miracles, the white hand miracle, the parting of the sea etc. (Tafsir of Ibn
Kathir, Source: Online)





Verse # 11


Surah 29:48-51


Not before this didst thou recite any Book, or inscribe it with thy right
hand, for then those who follow falsehood would have doubted. Nay; rather it is signs,
clear signs (ayatun bayyinatun) IN THE BREASTS of those who have been given knowledge; and
none denies Our signs but the evildoers. They say, 'Why have signs (ayatun) not been sent
down upon him from his Lord?' Say: 'The signs (al-ayatu) are only with God, and I am only
a plain warner.' What, is it not SUFFICIENT for them that We have sent down upon
thee the Book that is recited to them? Surely in that is a mercy, and a reminder
to a people who believe.


Sam Shamoun is trying to use this verse to show
that Allah is saying that the Quran is a sufficient enough sign and therefore no other
sign should be sent down by Him. Because if God did, then it would contradict this verse.


Again the sign of the moon splitting was shown to
them but they just called it magic. (Tafsir of Ibn Kathir, Source: Online) To them, these
were not signs. It was just magic.


As for verse 51, well this is talking about a
different situation and is not referring to the same people in verse 50.


Verse 51 was sent down because there were a group
of people from the companions of the Prophet who copied some things from the books of the
Jews and used to read it. Then verse 51 came down rebuking them that the Quran is enough
for their salvation. Even the Prophet said that if Moses was alive today then he would
follow him. (Tafsir of Tabari, Source: Online) and (Tafsir of Qurtuby, Source: Online)





Conclusion


The Quran needs to be read as a whole
and in context. The context of the verses need to be known as well. By connecting all the
dots together and reading the verses all together and with understanding we see that the
Quran does indeed confirm that the glorious Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) did perform miracles,
however in the eyes of the disbelievers this was nothing more than magic and they still
kept on demanding signs. Just because they did not receive the specific signs that they
asked for that does not mean that no signs were showed to them at all.
