A critical analysis of Christian responses to Islamic claims about the work of the Prophet Muhammad, ‘the Messenger of God’.
Full text linkThe aims of this study are to analyse critically the different Christian responses to the Islamic understanding of the work of Muhammad. Chapter one consists a short introduction leading to an appraisal of Muhammad which incorporates historical, hagiographal and Quranic source material, and in the light of relevant Christian and Muslim scholarship. The second chapter presents a summary critical analysis of Muhammad in Christian theological perspective, from 661 A.D. to modern times. Chapter three presents a critique of Christian responses to the Muslim allegations that the text of the Bible has been infected with corruption; and that Muhammad's advent and status are foretold in the unadulterated' scriptures, and in the Gospel of Barnabas. Chapter four examines the theological significance of the work of Muhammad for Christians. Thus, Jesus and Muhammad are critically assessed and contrasted in order to ascertain the importance, for Christians, of the Muslim claims in respect of Muhammad as ’the messenger of God’. Chapter five provides a critical evaluation of the various Christian responses to Muhammad. It is argued that many of the said responses have been entangled in myths and misperceptions which have severely distorted the true account of Muhammad's work. Consequently, many Christians have failed to appreciate the divine legitimacy of Muhammad's call to prophethood. Further, it is argued that Christians should accept that Muhammad is a genuine prophet, and the messenger of God. However, Muhammad's use of the power-structure in order to maintain Islam is in sharp contrast to Jesus’ decision to face the consequences of his ministry passively through faith in God. Accordingly, orthodox Christian belief in the passion, death and resurrection of Jesus provides another dimension to prophethood, where the messenger and the message become one, an identification which finds no parallel in Islam, and which, in the nature of the case, cannot find a parallel

Arkeologi Makam Sultan Muhammad Ali Ternate, Maluku Utara
No full textPenelitian ini adalah penelitian deskriptif kualitatif. Peneliti menggambarkan tinjauan arkeologis makam Sultan Muhammad Ali yang memerintah Ternate pada awal abad ke-19. Makam Sultan Muhammad Ali terletak tidak jauh dari Kedaton dan Masjid Tua Kesultanan Ternate. Nisannya terbuat dari batu berukuran tinggi 150 cm berhiaskan inskripsi nama dan tahun sebagai monumen yang menjadi penanda eksistensi Sultan Muhammad Ali. Gambar hati terletak antara inskripsi nama dan tahun, serupa gambar hati lambang kesultanan, menyiratkan hubungan erat antara yang dimakamkan dengan Kesultanan Ternate. Sultan Muhammad Ali semasa hidupnya mempunyai perhatian yang cukup besar dalam hal agama Islam dengan membangun Masjid sebagai simbol agama dan Istana yang megah sebagai simbol kerajaan, pada masa pemerintahannya status kesultanan menjadi bagian dari kerajaan Belanda dengan traktat yang ditandatanganinya bersama Belanda, praktis hanya urusan dalam negeri dan keagamaan yang menjadi wewenang kesultanan. Bentuk nisan yang sangat jauh berbeda dengan dengan nisan lainnya serta peletakannya ditempat yang cukup tinggi memperlihatkan posisi seorang pemimpin yang dijunjung tinggi semasa hidupny

And Muhammad is His messenger = und Muhammad ist sein Prophet
No full textThis book is the fruit of an interest in the figure of the Prophet of Islam that has developed over more than four decades. I was first introduced to and deeply moved by the concept of the "mystical Muhammad" when I was a teenager, busying myself with the study of Arabic under the guidance of Dr. Hans Ellenberg. During those formative years, the books of Syed Ameer Ali "The Life and Teachings of Muhammad, or The Spirit of Islam", and Tor Andrae's masterful study "Die person Muhammads in lehre und glaube seiner gemeinde" were among my favorites, and Andrae's book remains a source of inspiration to this day. This books contains of:1. Biographical and Hagiographical Notes2. Muhammad the Beautiful Model3. Muhammad's Unique Position4. Legends and Miracles5. Muhammad the Intercessor, and the Blessings upon Him6. The Names of the Prophet7. The Light of Muhammad and the Mystical Tradition8. The Celebration of the Prophet's Birthday9.
