Muhammad Is Dead But Jesus Is Alive.does It Mean That Jesus Is Greater ? by Kingharzyz(m): 1:32pm On Jul 17, 2013
Muslims believe that Jesus and Muhammad were both prophets and messengers of Allah. Peace
be upon both of them. Muslims will not belittle any of God's prophets or reject their message.
The Qur'an tells us to declare our faith in all of the prophets including Abraham, Moses, and
Jesus, and that we should make no distinction among them (see Qur'an 2:136; 3:84; 2:285).
This means that since each of them preached the true message of God, it would be wrong to say
we believe in some but not in others.
The prophets themselves were humble servants of God. They did not try to prove themselves
superior to others. It would be wrong for their followers to argue over who is superior. Once a
Muslim and a Jew were arguing. The Muslim said that Muhammad is superior over all the
people. The Jew said that Moses is superior over all the people. When this was related to the
prophet Muhammad, on whom be peace, he said:
Do not give me superiority over Moses (This is recorded in Sahih al-Bukhari, vol.4, p.410,
Arabic- English edition).
He also said "None should say that I am better than Jonah, son of Matta" (ibid, p.413).
He also instructed,"Do not give superiority to any prophet among Allah's prophets" (ibid, p.414).
Once the prophet was asked, "Who is the most honorable among the people?" He replied, "The
most God-fearing". When he was asked to name a specific individual, he replied:
The most honorable person is Joseph (i.e. the son of Jacob) (ibid, p.390).
This humility was shared by other prophets too. The prophet Jesus, on whom be peace, is
reported to have said:
I tell you the truth: Among those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than John the
Baptist (Matthew 11:11).
But John the Baptist was also humble. He did not claim that greatness for himself. He spoke of a
greater one who was to come after him. He is quoted as saying:
After me will come one more powerful than I, the thongs of whose sandals I am not worthy to
stoop down and untie (Mark 1:7).
When God sent the angel Gabriel to take the prophet Muhammad to the Aqsa Mosque one night,
the prophet, on whom be peace, led the prayers there, and the other prophets followed his lead.
He also related the truth that on the Day of Judgement he will lead the banner of Praise under
which will be all the other prophets. But the prophet Muhammad did not boast about this. He
instructed Muslims that they should not praise him as the people praised Jesus, son of Mary. He
said:
Call me a slave of Allah and His Messenger (Bukhari, vol.4, p.435).
What is important is not to try and prove one prophet superior over another, but to believe in both
of them. The prophet Muhammad, on whom be peace, said:
If a man believes in Jesus and then believes in me, he will get a double reward (ibid. p.435).

i am thinking the op is a muslim. if he is, the title is wrong while the content is right. death does not demean the status of a prophet or not dying increases it. there were many great prophets [as] who died and Jesus [as] was not the only one that did not die. even if he were the only one who did not die, it will not make him higher than being a prophet [as].

there is at least a verse in the Quran that martyrs not dead but alive. and there could not have been a greater martyr than the prophet [sa]. and in hadith we read that when you give the prophet [sa] salaam, his soul is returned to him so that he can hear your salaam that is being delivered to him by the angels [as].

The madfucking quoter could't understand how the level position of the messengers of God is, listen my dear brother no one of the messengers of God will allow you keep on mentioning his superiority over another messengers of God due to their tawadi'U
But the almighty God and the remainig servants of the God know who is the superior

Suggestion: person should not speak on what he has no any knowledge on it okay

Suggestion denied. Freedom of speech trumps sheepishness anyday.

op, what do you understand by the term death?

You see, your ignorance is really pathetic. And one can only blame the dumbing down of the masses by christianity and islam regarding the meaning of life, death, existence.

Assume that 'Jesus' and 'Muhammed' actually lived and have since departed to the great beyond, how can one be 'alive' and the other 'dead' or vice versa? Sheer common sense should tell you that they are either both 'alive' or both 'dead' depending on what occurs after a person has left this earthly realm. There is no 'life or death' in the Afterlife.
