Ok, Mrs Claus , I'll answer you within few days insha Allah (If God wills)
The answer will take time from me to write so I prefer waiting till the weekend on Saturday

Well Mrs Claus, to make the issue clear to you again, we believe in one God who sent prophets to people to inform them that he is the only God, and there's no other God beside him
According to our belief, God sent a prophet to every nation, he informed us about some of these prophets in the Quran and others he didn't inform us about
Each prophet was only sent to his people and his nation but the last prophet who is prophet Muhammad Pbuh was sent to the whole mankind and whoever doesn't believe in him or doesn't believe in any other prophet like prophets Moses & Jesus will be punished
Some of the teachings of the previous prophets were fabricated, we believe that prophet Jesus Pbuh didn't teach people the trinity and didn't teach people that he is God or the son of God or should be worshipped, but his teachings were fabricated later on
Regarding what you said that Zoroastrianism says that God didn't create Satan, some scholars believe that these were not the original teachings of Zoroastrianism but they were later
additions
Anyhow, I just said that Zoroaster may be one of the prophets that we were not informed about and maybe he isn't, so it doesn't matter if there are some teachings in Zoroastrianism that don't agree with Islam, maybe they are fabrications and later additins to the teachings of Zoroaster and maybe Zoroaster isn't a prophet
Yet, I am sure that Islam is the international version of Judaism, the samefaith in one God, our God is the same God of the jews, the God of prophets Noah, Abraham, Moses and Jesus, the God who saved the jews from the pharoah and who gave prophet Moses the Torah
But prophet Moses duty was to deliver the message of God to thepharoah and the jews while te duty of prophet Muhammad Pbuh was to deliver the messageof God to all mankind
Today there are only 12 million jews and 1.6 billion muslims from all nations in the world
So I don't understand actully what re you arguing about,Islam is the international version of Judaism, this is a fact that we don't need to argue about?
So simply if islam is false and judaism is true why did God make the jews very little in number compared to muslims?

This belief that you are describing which states that God and Jesus and the holy spirit are one n the same manner that a man has a body , a mind and a soul is the trinity
This is the faith of the catholics, the orthodox and the protestant which are the main bulk of christians in the world
Jehova's witnesses who don't believe that the Christ is God are a minority among christians

Mrs Claus, Would you please kindly wait till I finish my answer to all what you said before
?
The answer nto all hat you said needs a long time to write so wait till I finish and I'll give you the time that you need also

Well Mrs Claus what's clear from the Bible is that the jews were ordered to battle other nations and sometimes even kill their women, their young children and even there cattle. In Islam , killing the women and children is forbidden
The problem is that you are trying to find yourself some excuses to accept the battles of the jews in the Bible and in the same time to prove to yourself that muslims were terrorists
If the battles of the jews were to conquer lands which were not theirs, the islamic battles were not just to conquer lands but were in order to make muslims in a dominant position so that they can let the people know the teachings of Islam and whoever wants to join Islam can join it without being afraid of oppression
The early christians for about 3 centuries were oppressed by the romans, they were even sometimes left to lions to kill them, this is because the early christians were not strong
Similarly , the early muslims in Mecca were oppressed
If muslims tried to spread Islam outside Arabia among the Romans and the Persians without being strong and without armies, what has been done to the early christians for 3 centuries would have been done to them also
Anyone who would have joined Islam among the Romans or the Persians may have been left to lions also
Yet Muslims in their battles, began by asking the enemies to join Islam , if not pay the Jizzya(tax),if not the last option is battle and in case of battle killing women , children and priests is completely forbidden not like the battles in the Bible
And if Muslims win a battle and conquer a land, they never forced people to leave their religion and convert to Islam, if you are a non-muslim you can live safely in the Islamic country if you pay the tax (Jizya) and have your full rights

First of all, I want to draw your attention that we as muslims do not like people to mention our beloved prophet Pbuh just by name by saying Muhammad
Would you kindly say (Your prophet) or (The prophet of Islam) instead of just saying Muhammad
?
We usually do not mention the names of prophets just by name and whenever we mention any prophet by name we follow it by Pbuh which stands for peace be upon him

Regarding your question, if prophet Muhammad Pbuh was a true prophet, why didn't the jews follow him, I'll answer this question after you answer the following question
If there is solid evidence that the golden Calf is not a true god why did the jews worship him
?
Simply the jews didn't believe in prophet Muhammad Pbuh because they couldn't accept a prophet who is not from the jews , who tells them you have fabricated the scriptures, and who orders them to leave their scriptues and follow the holy Quran
Anyhow, some of the jews believed in prophet Muhammad Pbuh after testing him and some of them admitted that he was mentioned in their books and some of them ordered their dying children to beleve in him before their death

For example
:
Abdullah Ibn Salam was a jewish rabbi who converted to islam and became a companion of prophet Muhammad Pbuh
Read the story of his conversion to Islam
:
https://www.islamreligion.com/articles/1692/

Another well known example is a jewish man ordering his dying son to believe in prophet Muhammad Pbuh
:

It was narrated that Anas (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: “There was a Jewish boy who used to serve the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), and he fell sick. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) came to visit him; he sat by his head and said, ‘Become Muslim.’ The boy looked at his father, who was present, and he (the father) said: ‘Obey Abu’l-Qaasim (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).’ So he became Muslim, and the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) left, saying, ‘Praise be to Allaah Who has saved him from the Fire.’”

Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 1290

Even a jewish scholar admitted that prophet Muhammad Pbuh was a true prophet but to the arabs and that the jews do not have to follow him
Read this from the wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judaism...ws_on_Muhammad

Natan'el al-Fayyumi
Nethanel ibn al-Fayyumi, a prominent 12th-century Yemenite rabbi and theologian, and the founder of so-called Jewish Ismailism, wrote in his philosophical treatise Bustan al-Uqul ("Garden of Wisdom") that God sends prophets to establish religions for other nations, which do not have to conform to the precepts of the Jewish Torah. Nethanel explicitly considered Muhammad a true prophet, who was sent from Heaven with a particular message that applies to the Arabs, but not to the Jews.[3][4] However, Al-Fayymi's explicit acceptance of Muhammad's prophecy may be unique and was virtually unknown until recent times beyond his native Yemen.[5]
Simply the story of the satanic verses is not considered a true story by muslim scholars

Later on I'll provide you insha Allah (if God wills ) with sure evidence that prophet Muhammad Pbuh is a true prophet


Surely it's not a logic that a man who has been a very strong leader and who has been able to change the religion of a whole nation within 23 years suffered a mental illness

The previous paragraph is a collection of the false ideas that those who attack Islam are trying to convince people with

When was Prophet Muhammad Pbuh violent with those who insulted him
?
Maybe when he conquered Mecca and he said to the people of his tribe Quraysh: Go you are free, although they oppressed the early muslims and although he himself Pbuh and his fellowers had to leave Mecca because the people of Quraysh were violent with them
If in certain situations you see that our beloved Prophet Pbuh seems to be violent be sure that either these stories are false stories or there is some explanation that you don't know

Yes there were some revelations that made the Prophet Pbuh transgress other revelations but this is a sort of graduation from God in teaching us his religion
A famous example is wine
The early muslims used to drink wine
The Quran first stated that a muslim should not pray while he is drunk then wine was completely forbidden whether a muslim is praying or not

Who said that Prophet Muhammad Pbuh was contempt to women
?
Maybe because he taught us that the best of us is the best to his wife

Regarding the marriage of Prophet Muhammad Pbuh to our mother Aisha when she was 9 years old
Read this
:
https://www.answering-christianity.com/aisha.htm

Prophet Muhammad Pbuh allowed telling lies when you are making peace between people
For example if you have a quarrel with one of your friends and then you tell me that you think your friend was silly and stupid
If I want to put an end to your quarrel with your friend and go and tell her Mrs Claus told me that you are a very kind person and she is really sad that she quarreled with you
This doesn't mean that I'm a liar and this doesn't mean also that Prophet Muhammad has been lying while preaching his message as you claim

This story is considered by muslims as one of the miracles of our beloved prophet Pbuh
According to islamic belief, these 2 men were angels and opening the chest of the Prophet and taking something from it has a spiritual meaning as the thing taken is understood as a symbol of
the evil part of the human personality
Many muslims believe that this was a sort of devine preparation of
Prophet Muhammad for his mission as God's messenger
As a non-muslim , I understand that you won't believe this but surely it's not logic to ignore the whole life of Prophet Muhammad Pbuh and his influence on whole mankind and consider this story as evidence of him being mentally unstable
Moreover this story is considered dobtful by some muslim scholars

Again you are just trying to find any evidence to prove that Prophet Muhammad was mentally unstable

Regarding the first story of Gabriel coming for the first time to the Prophet and telling him (Read
I don't know exactly how did you understand that Prophet Muhammad Pbuh thought he was possessed by demons
?
Yes, the Prophet felt afraid but this
is normal
Imagine someone sitting in a cave on top of a mountain alone and then he suddenly finds a man telling him : Read and hugging him
firmly
and doing the samething for 3 times
What do you think a normal response will be
?
Regarding the story of Prophet Muhammad Pbuh trying to commit a suicide, it's not a true story because it's from the (Maraseel) of a muslim scholar known as Alzohary
Maraseel is a name given to the narrations in which a narrator narrates a certain event without witnessing it and without mentioning who informed him about it
Muslim scholars consider that Alzohary's maraseel are extremely doubtful so the story of the Prophet Pbuh trying to commit a suicide is extremely doubtful

Let's read the whole story from Sahih Albukhari
:
Saheeh Bukhari

Volumn 009, Book 087, Hadith Number 111.
-----------------------------------------
Narated By 'Aisha : The commencement of the Divine Inspiration to Allah's Apostle was in the form of good righteous (true) dreams in his sleep. He never had a dream but that it came true like bright day light. He used to go in seclusion (the cave of) Hira where he used to worship(Allah Alone) continuously for many (days) nights. He used to take with him the journey food for that (stay) and then come back to (his wife) Khadija to take his food like-wise again for another period to stay, till suddenly the Truth descended upon him while he was in the cave of Hira. The angel came to him in it and asked him to read. The Prophet replied, "I do not know how to read." (The Prophet added), "The angel caught me (forcefully) and pressed me so hard that I could not bear it anymore. He then released me and again asked me to read, and I replied, "I do not know how to read," whereupon he caught me again and pressed me a second time till I could not bear it anymore. He then released me and asked me again to read, but again I replied, "I do not know how to read (or, what shall I read?)." Thereupon he caught me for the third time and pressed me and then released me and said, "Read: In the Name of your Lord, Who has created (all that exists). Has created man from a clot. Read and Your Lord is Most Generous... up to... that which he knew not." (96.15)

Then Allah's Apostle returned with the Inspiration, his neck muscles twitching with terror till he entered upon Khadija and said, "Cover me! Cover me!" They covered him till his fear was over and then he said, "O Khadija, what is wrong with me?" Then he told her everything that had happened and said, 'I fear that something may happen to me." Khadija said, 'Never! But have the glad tidings, for by Allah, Allah will never disgrace you as you keep good reactions with your Kith and kin, speak the truth, help the poor and the destitute, serve your guest generously and assist the deserving, calamity-afflicted ones." Khadija then accompanied him to (her cousin) Waraqa bin Naufal bin Asad bin 'Abdul 'Uzza bin Qusai. Waraqa was the son of her paternal uncle, i.e., her father's brother, who during the Pre-Islamic Period became a Christian and used to write the Arabic writing and used to write of the Gospels in Arabic as much as Allah wished him to write. He was an old man and had lost his eyesight. Khadija said to him, "O my cousin! Listen to the story of your nephew." Waraqa asked, "O my nephew! What have you seen?" The Prophet described whatever he had seen.

Waraqa said, "This is the same Namus (i.e., Gabriel, the Angel who keeps the secrets) whom Allah had sent to Moses. I wish I were young and could live up to the time when your people would turn you out." Allah's Apostle asked, "Will they turn me out?" Waraqa replied in the affirmative and said: "Never did a man come with something similar to what you have brought but was treated with hostility. If I should remain alive till the day when you will be turned out then I would support you strongly." But after a few days Waraqa died and the Divine Inspiration was also paused for a while and the Prophet became so sad as we have heard that he intended several times to throw himself from the tops of high mountains and every time he went up the top of a mountain in order to throw himself down, Gabriel would appear before him and say, "O Muhammad! You are indeed Allah's Apostle in truth" whereupon his heart would become quiet and he would calm down and would return home. And whenever the period of the coming of the inspiration used to become long, he would do as before, but when he used to reach the top of a mountain, Gabriel would appear before him and say to him what he had said before. (Ibn 'Abbas said regarding the meaning of: 'He it is that Cleaves the daybreak (from the darkness)' (6.96) that Al-Asbah. means the light of the sun during the day and the light of the moon at night).


As you see Alzohary said as we have heard without mentioning who he heard from exactly
This is why although the whole Hadith is considered Sahih or true , this part of the Prophet trying to commit a suicide is considered extremely doubtful

Moreover you are just picking from the hadith what you want to find, what about Waraqa Ibn Nawfal who was a christian and considered prophet Muhammad to be a true prophet from the first day exactly as prophet Moses
?
If Waraqa who saw Prophet Muhammad Pbuh felt that he was mentally unstable why did he consider him a true prophet
?

Again if Prophet Muhammad was a mad man as you are trying to claim, how was he able to work hard for 23 years to change the religion of a whole nation
?
How has he been able to be the ruler of the muslims in Almadinah for 11 years
?
How was he able to lead the islamic army while he was mad as you claim
?
Why did all his wives , daughters , grandsons and friends believe that he was a true prophet and didn't notice that he was mad
?
No it's not for sure epilepsy because epilepsy is recurrent
And for sure it was never reported that Prophet Muhammad Pbuh convulsed
As a physician, I bet it was just a vasovagal syncope
which occurs to normal people

All what you said in the previous paragraph was answered before
Yet, of course you have the right not to believe in Prophet Muhammad Pbuh unless there is strong evidence to support that
he was a true prophet
and this is what I'll start doing soon insha Allah
(If God wills)

Yes , Jesus Pbuh warned from false prophets and there were really many false prophets after him and also after prophet Muhammad Pbuh
There were a lot of people who claimed that they are the jewish Messiah and they were many people who claimed that they are messengers from God like Musaylimah Alkaddab , BahauAllah and Gholam Ahmad
But this doesn't mean at all that prophet Muhammad Pbuh was a false prophet
Jesus Pbuh said that God will send the Parakletos who will teach the people everything and who will say the truth because he doesn't speak from his own but he says what he hears
We are sure that the Parakletos is Prophet Muhammad Pbuh
Even in the gospel of the Nizareth which was considered to be true by some early christians but not considered to be true by the church now, Jesus Pbuh said clearly that God will send his messenger
This is the link to the Gospel
:
https://messianic.nazirene.org/gospel_index.htm

The prophecy is in chapter 61
:
https://messianic.nazirene.org/gospel....htm#chapter61


1.And as Yeshua sat upon the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, "Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?" And Yeshua answered and said to them, "Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, 'I am Messiah; and shall deceive many.'"
2."And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars; see that you not be troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there will be famines, and pestilences, and earthquake, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows."
3.And in those days those that have power will gather to themselves the lands and riches of the earth for their own lusts, and will oppress the many who lack and hold them in bondage, and use them to increase their riches, and they will oppress even the beasts of the field, setting up the abominable thing. But God will send them his messenger and they will proclaim his laws, which men have hidden by their traditions, and those that transgress shall die."

It's clear that the only man whom about one quarter of the world population believe that he is the messenger of God who Prophet Jesus Pbuh prophecized his coming is Prophet Muhammad Pbuh


Again where did God promise an eternal convenant to the jews
?
Even in the new testament Jesus Pbuh said clearly that God will
abandon the jews
and the jews understood clearly what he meant according to Mark's gospel

This is stated clearly in Mark 12
:

And he began to speak unto them in parables. A man planted a vineyard, and set a hedge about it, and digged a pit for the winepress, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into another country.

2 And at the season he sent to the husbandmen a servant, that he might receive from the husbandmen of the fruits of the vineyard.

3 And they took him, and beat him, and sent him away empty.

4 And again he sent unto them another servant; and him they wounded in the head, and handled shamefully.

5 And he sent another; and him they killed: and many others; beating some, and killing some.

6 He had yet one, a beloved son: he sent him last unto them, saying, They will reverence my son.

7 But those husbandmen said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance shall be ours.

8 And they took him, and killed him, and cast him forth out of the vineyard.

9 What therefore will the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others.

10 Have ye not read even this scripture: The stone which the builders rejected, The same was made the head of the corner;

11 This was from the Lord, And it is marvellous in our eyes?

12 And they sought to lay hold on him; and they feared the multitude; for they perceived that he spake the parable against them: and they left him, and went away

Now we have to organise the discussion so that we discuss only one point at a time
I can't continue the discussion discussing 100 points at a time
The first point that I would like to discuss is where did God make an everlasting promise to the jews that he will never abandon them so that you can't believe that the muslims now have replaced the jews
?
Then I'll show you that prophet Muhammad Pbuh has been clearly mentioned in
:
The old testament
The jewish apocrypha
The new testament
New Testament Apocrypha


Also since according to Deutromony 18
we can know whether a prophet is a true prophet or a liar from his prophecies, we can also have a look at the prophecies of the holy Quran and Prophet Muhammad Pbuh to see whether they turned out to be true or not

Now please answer this question and kindly don't discuss any other issues
:
Where did God promise the jews he will never abandon them
?

Mrs Claus , I hope you may receive this by e-mail and return again to continue our dialogue
