I pray to God. And my God is not a God of regret, not a God that rests, now a God that lacks knowledge, not a God the devil would have the audacity to tempt, nor a God that was created. themanderon: |

Sterope:you forgot to add that after Jesus resurrection he commanded his disciples to preach to all nations. Mark 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. |

Sterope:But Allah cannot have a Son except he has a girlfriend. ![]() Surah Al-An‘ām (6:101) reads as follows (translation by Saheeh International): > "He is the Originator of the heavens and the earth. How could He have a son when He does not have a companion, and He created all things? And He is, of all things, Knowing." |

Exactly! “And He has no partner in His dominion, nor has He any protector out of weakness. And proclaim His greatness.” (Qur’an 17:111) “They say, ‘The Most Merciful has taken a son.’ You have certainly made an outrageous claim. The heavens almost rupture therefrom and the earth splits open and the mountains collapse in devastation, that they attribute to the Most Merciful a son. And it is not appropriate for the Most Merciful that He should take a son.” (Qur’an 19:88–92) He doesn't have a companion nor a partner now why and how would he have a son. My God has no companion, no son. Your God has a mother, a son of himself, he regrets and he rests! Steep: |

Mark 16:9-20 never existed You quoted Mark 16:15 Earliest manuscripts according to Eusebius (4th c.) and Jerome (late 4th c.) commented that almost all reliable Greek manuscripts of their time ended Mark at 16:8. Codex Sinaiticus and Codex Vaticanus also stopped at verse 8. These are all the earliest manuscripts of the Bible we have so far. There were some Bible that actually pointed it out as footnotes that they were probably additions. Jesus was sent to all the nations of Israel never the gentiles Jesus’ mission was for the nations of Israel. All of his disciples were Jewish, and he commanded them along with the people to uphold the laws given to Moses which were to Israelites. So when he said, “proclaim to all nations,” it wasn’t about the entire world. He was speaking about the twelve nations of Israel the tribes descended from Jacob. As Genesis 35:11 records: “God said to Jacob, ‘A nation and a company of nations shall come from you, and kings shall come from your own body.’” Steep: |

Lukgaf:If its only what Muhammed did that you must do, did Muhammed use car or fly airplane? Did he go for Haj? Let me shock you, even Sallah is not in the Quran. Sallah is only found in the hadiths. Why then do you do Sallah ? |

Sterope:unlike, the Koran that is just one book of which when information is lost there will be no way of recovering it. The Gospel is made up of four books; mathew, Mark, Luke and john which are complementary to one another and also from church traditions. When an info is not in one it can be gotten from the other sources and used to fill it. The command to preach to other nations is also in the book of mathew. Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Luke 24:47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. |

In Islam, every act of worship must be rooted in the Qur’an, the Sunnah, and the understanding of the earliest generations of Muslims (the Salaf). Any practice introduced into religion without evidence from these sources is considered a bidʿah (innovation), and the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ himself warned against it: 👉 “Whoever introduces into this matter of ours that which is not from it, it will be rejected.” (Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī, Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim) 1. No Precedent in the Qur’an or Sunnah Neither the Qur’an nor the authentic Sunnah contains any instruction to celebrate the Prophet’s birthday. Despite their profound love for the Prophet ﷺ, neither the Companions nor the righteous successors ever celebrated such an occasion. Their silence on this matter is a clear proof that this practice is not part of Islam. 2. Innovation in Religion (Bidʿah) The Prophet ﷺ explicitly described every newly invented religious practice as a misguidance: 👉 “Every innovation is misguidance, and every misguidance is in the Fire.” (Sunan an-Nasā’ī, Jāmiʿ at-Tirmidhī) Mawlid, being a later addition centuries after the Prophet’s time, falls under this category. Good intentions do not transform innovations into acts of worship accepted by Allah. 3. True Love for the Prophet ﷺ The best way to honor and love the Prophet ﷺ is not through innovated celebrations, but by obeying his commands, following his Sunnah, and reviving his teachings in daily life. Allah says: 👉 “Say: If you truly love Allah, then follow me; Allah will love you and forgive your sins.” (Qur’an 3:31) Thus, real love for the Prophet ﷺ is shown through adherence, not through newly invented festivities. 4. The Imitation of Non-Islamic Practices Historically, the celebration of birthdays was not part of Islamic tradition but influenced by foreign customs. Islam came to purify worship and direct it solely to Allah, free from imitating other religious or cultural rituals. Conclusion Celebrating the Prophet’s birthday (Mawlid an-Nabiyy) has no basis in the Qur’an, the Sunnah, or the practice of the earliest Muslim generations. It constitutes an innovation that the Prophet ﷺ himself warned against. The most authentic way to express love for him is through strict adherence to his Sunnah, spreading his message, and living by the guidance he brought. As a Muslims, our devotion is best demonstrated not by innovating what he never taught, but by preserving the purity of his religion as he delivered it. |
