My rebuttal to Silas' "Muhammad the Sinner" article:
This article is a rebuttal to Silas' article, which is located at: http://www.answering-islam.org/Silas/mo-sinner.htm
He wrote:
WAS MUHAMMAD A SINNER?
by Silas
In the night’s stillness, far from the crowd and alone with the thoughts of his heart, a man prays confessing the truth he knows within his soul:
"Oh God, I acknowledge and confess before You, all my sins, please forgive
them, as no one can forgive sins except You. Forgive
my mistakes, those done intentionally, or out of my ignorance, with or without
seriousness. Oh God, forgive my sins and my
ignorance, forgive my sins of the past and of the future, which I did openly or secretly. Forgive the wrong I have done, jokingly or
seriously. I seek Your protection from all the evil I have done. Wash away my sins, and cleanse my heart, from all
the sins as a white garment is cleansed from the filth, and let there be long distance
between me and my sins, as You made the East and West far from each other."
That prayer expressed a heart that understood the depth of sin in its soul. It acknowledges a nature within that is bent towards sin. And it reflects the desire to cleanse that depth of sin. We hear in that prayer a man’s struggle with sin. He asks forgiveness for his past and future sins, because he knows that as a normal man, he is going to sin. It is inevitable. He asks for forgiveness for things he has done intentionally, and unintentionally. He asks forgiveness for mistakes and sins, those done intentionally or unintentionally. He knows that the sins he committed are "evil", and confesses that to God. He does not make light of his sins. The sins he committed are "filth" in God’s eyes.
Do you think that
this man was a sinner?
My response:
Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him always recognized that he was a human being. He was a human, and he made mistakes. Allah Almighty in the Noble Quran even mentioned some of Prophet Muhammad's mistakes:
"(The Prophet) frowned and turned away, Because there came to him the blind man (interrupting). But what could tell thee but that perchance he might grow (in spiritual understanding)?- Or that he might receive admonition, and the teaching might profit him? As to one who regards Himself as self-sufficient, (The Noble Quran, 80:1-5)"
"O Prophet! Why holdest thou to be forbidden that which God has made lawful to thee? Thou seekest to please thy consorts. But God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (The Noble Quran, 66:1)"
There are more examples that I can provide, but I think these Noble Verses are sufficient enough. So when we see Prayers to Allah Almighty from Prophet Muhammad, it wouldn't be a strange thing, because everyone, including the Prophets, needs Allah Almighty's Forgiveness, Mercy and Guidance. Humans are humans and they are naturally sinners and offenders to Allah Almighty:
"If God were to punish men according to what they deserve, He would not leave on the back of the (earth) a single living creature: but He gives them respite for a stated Term: when their Term expires, verily God has in His sight all His Servants. (The Noble Quran, 35:45)"
"If Allah were to punish Men for their wrongdoing, He would not leave, on the (earth), A single living creature: But He gives them respite For a stated Term: When their Term expires, They would not be able To delay (the punishment) For a single hour, just as They would not be able To anticipate it (for a single hour). (The Noble Quran, 16:61)"
In these Noble Verses we clearly see Allah Almighty saying that He wouldn't leave a single person (NOT EVEN HIS PROPHETS) alive on earth if He were to punish us according to what we deserve.
The Living and Everlasting Miracle in the Noble Quran had proven itself to be the Divine Truth from Allah Almighty:

He wrote:
PART 1: WAS MUHAMMAD A SINNER?
That prayer was prayed by Muhammad. It is a synthesis of his personal prayers found in Sahih Bukhari Volume 8: #s 335, 379, 407, and 408, [1]. Muhammad knew clearly he was a sinner; thus he makes his confession public. Over and over again he stated he was a sinner. The Quran he spoke identifies him as a sinner. Yet many Muslims today say that Muhammad was not a sinner.
QUESTION: Muhammad said he
was a sinner, why do many Muslims contradict Muhammad and say he is not a sinner?
My response:
As I proved above, Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him was not perfect. He made mistakes, and I guess they can be considered as sins. But Prophet Muhammad was not a "sinner" in a sense that he was going around committing adultery, murdering or stealing, or doing any major crime.
He wrote:
Before addressing that question, let us examine the later Muslim’s argument that he was not a sinner. And, let us examine Quranic / Hadith evidence that Muhammad was a sinner.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Many Muslims believe that Allah gives a special protection to his prophets from being "sinners". In his book, "Muhammad and the Religion of Islam", [2], John Gilchrist does an excellent job in addressing and summarizing this invented Islamic doctrine. It is sometimes called the "isma" doctrine. This book can be found on the web at:
http://answering-islam.org/Gilchrist/Vol1/
I will quote several paragraphs from the book.
From page 273:
"Throughout the Muslim world today it is generally
believed that all of the prophets enjoyed an "isma", a protection against sin,
and that they were according sinless. It is one of the anomalies of Islam that this
doctrine has been established and maintained against the plain teaching of the Quran and
Hadith to the contrary.
In the early centuries of Islam, however, a doctrine founded
on popular sentiment and theological presuppositions arose and developed away from the
teaching of the Quran and Hadith. It was first formulated in the creed known as the Fiqh
Akbar II and it is there stated:
"All the Prophets are exempt from sins, both light and grave, from unbelief
and sordid deeds. Yet stumbling and mistakes may happen on their part. Wensinck, "The
Muslim Creed, p. 192."
It was not possible to defy the written sources of Islam
entirely, however, and so the records of the sins of the prophets in the Quran and Hadith
became watered down into "mistakes". Similar euphemisms, such as "acts of
forgetfulness", are constantly used by Muslim writers today to account for these
misdemeanors which the Scripture and traditions of Islam record.
There are basically two reasons for the rise of this doctrine
in Islam. Firstly, the early Muslims soon discovered that the Bible taught plainly that
Jesus was the only sinless man that ever lived and, confronted with this evidence, deemed
it necessary to invent the fiction that all the prophets — especially Muhammad —
were sinless as well. A superiority of Jesus over Muhammad could not be tolerated and,
just as miracles were attributed to the figurehead of Islam to give him a status at least
equal to that of Jesus, so he was also held to be sinless for the same purpose. Secondly,
the doctrine of revelation in Islam holds that the scriptures were dictated directly to
the prophets by the intermediary angel (Gabriel) and it was therefore believed that the
prophets must have possessed an impeccable character for, if they could not keep
themselves from error in their personal lives, how could they be trusted to communicate
God’s revelation without error? This latter presupposition led perforce to the
conclusion that the prophets must have been sinless."
END OF GILCHRIST QUOTE
In sum, real Islamic writings teach that Muhammad was a sinner. However, later Muslims, ashamed that Muhammad was inferior to Jesus in this regard, made up a doctrine to place Muhammad on equal terms with Christ. This doctrine contradicts what Muhammad taught. And, it should be added, that Muslims believe that God has kept the Quran pure from human corruption through all these centuries, while it was in the hands of sinful humans, then why could he not trust the transmission through sinful human men as well?
My response:
Allah Almighty in the Noble Quran never recognized the Prophets as sinless people. That's the only thing that matters here. Take for instance the story of David when he coveted one of his commander's wife and ended up SINNING by causing his commander to die in battle so David would then be able to marry her:
"Has the Story of the Disputants reached thee? Behold, they climbed over the wall of the private chamber; When they entered the presence of David, and he was terrified of them, they said: "Fear not: we are two disputants, one of whom has wronged the other: Decide now between us with truth, and treat us not with injustice, but guide us to the even Path. "This man is my brother: He has nine and ninety ewes, and I have (but) one: Yet he says, 'commit her to my care,' and is (moreover) harsh to me in speech." (David) said: "He has undoubtedly wronged thee in demanding thy (single) ewe to be added to his (flock of) ewes: truly many are the partners (in business) who wrong each other: Not so do those who believe and work deeds of righteousness, and how few are they?" And David gathered that We had tried him: he asked forgiveness of his Lord, fell down, bowing (in prostration), and turned (to God in repentance). So We forgave him this (lapse): he enjoyed, indeed, a Near Approach to Us, and a beautiful place of (Final) Return. (The Noble Quran, 38:21-25)"
So as we can see, David sinned before, but Allah Almighty Forgave him. So the point here is, yes, Prophets did sin and the Noble Quran did make mention of it.
Also, as I explained above, Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him always recognized that he was a human being. He was a human, and he made mistakes. Allah Almighty in the Noble Quran even mentioned some of Prophet Muhammad's mistakes:
"(The Prophet) frowned and turned away, Because there came to him the blind man (interrupting). But what could tell thee but that perchance he might grow (in spiritual understanding)?- Or that he might receive admonition, and the teaching might profit him? As to one who regards Himself as self-sufficient, (The Noble Quran, 80:1-5)"
"O Prophet! Why holdest thou to be forbidden that which God has made lawful to thee? Thou seekest to please thy consorts. But God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (The Noble Quran, 66:1)"
There are more examples that I can provide, but I think these Noble Verses are sufficient enough. So when we see Prayers to Allah Almighty from Prophet Muhammad, it wouldn't be a strange thing, because everyone, including the Prophets, needs Allah Almighty's Forgiveness, Mercy and Guidance. Humans are humans and they are naturally sinners and offenders to Allah Almighty:
"If God were to punish men according to what they deserve, He would not leave on the back of the (earth) a single living creature: but He gives them respite for a stated Term: when their Term expires, verily God has in His sight all His Servants. (The Noble Quran, 35:45)"
"If Allah were to punish Men for their wrongdoing, He would not leave, on the (earth), A single living creature: But He gives them respite For a stated Term: When their Term expires, They would not be able To delay (the punishment) For a single hour, just as They would not be able To anticipate it (for a single hour). (The Noble Quran, 16:61)"
In these Noble Verses we clearly see Allah Almighty saying that He wouldn't leave a single person (NOT EVEN HIS PROPHETS) alive on earth if He were to punish us according to what we deserve.

B) THE QURANIC
EVIDENCE THAT MUHAMMAD WAS A SINNER
The Quran identifies Muhammad as a sinner: 40:55, 48:2, and 47:19:
40:55 Therefore
have patience; God’s promise is surely true. Implore forgiveness for your sins, and
celebrate the praise of your Lord evening and morning.
48:2 ...
so that God may forgive you your past and future sins, and perfect His goodness to you;
...
Below is the Quran 47:19 in five English translations, (NOTE: Muhammad is asking for forgiveness for both himself and his followers).
"Know that there is no deity but God. Implore Him to forgive your sins and to
forgive the true believers, men and women. God knows your busy haunts and resting
places." Dawood [3]
"So know (O Muhammad) that there is no God save Allah, and ask forgiveness for
thy sin and for believing men and believing women. Allah knoweth (both) your place of
turmoil and your place of rest." Pickthall [4]
"Know thou therefore that there is no god but God, and ask forgiveness for
they sin, and for the believers, men and women. God knows your going to and fro, and your
lodging." Arberry [5]
"Know, then, that there is no god but God; and ask pardon for thy sin, and for
believers, both men and women. God knows your busy movements and your final resting
places." Rodwell [6]
"Know therefore that there is no god but Allah and ask forgiveness for the
fault and for the men and women who believe: for Allah knows how ye move about and how ye
dwell in your homes." Ali [7]
END OF QURANIC QUOTES
The Quranic word used in these verses for sin is "dhanb", or "thanb", depending on how one transliterates the word. It is used many times in the Quran. The Hughes Encyclopedic Dictionary of Islam defines the word as "a sin or a crime, or the charge of such", [8].
Clearly the Quran identifies Muhammad as a sinner. It is definitely applied to Muhammad. Since some Muslims argue that Muhammad was not a sinner, they have to resort to re-interpreting the Quranic word, "dhanb". So, what does that word "dhanb" mean in the context of the Quran?. We have to address the true meaning of this word — is it "sin", meaning something that God will judge, or is it "fault" defined as meaning something that is very minor and easily excusable by God?. To understand the context of the word, we should let the context of how the word is used throughout the Quran speak.
We should let the Quran interpret itself.
I have found the word used about 39 times in the Quran. In some cases it is used without a reference, e.g. 3:31, "Say, "If you love God, follow me. God will love you and forgive your sins…". We have no reference as to what those "sins" consisted.
However, "dhanb" is used many other times with a contextual reference. Here is a significant selection. I present about 22 of them because I want to establish exactly the Quran’s severity of this word. And, I encourage all Muslims to search through their Quran to find an example of Allah lightly treating "dhanb". Study the Quran to find something contrary to the harsh judgment that Allah postscribes to those who commit of "dhanb". I have found none.
My response:
As I proved above, the Noble Quran did recognize that Prophets did sin. I mentioned examples for you above from the Noble Quran about David and Muhammad peace be upon them where they sinned.
So, you have not really brought anything new here!
He wrote:
SELECTION OF QURANIC
VERSES REGARDING "DHANB" OR SIN
3:11 (Their
plight will be) no better than that of the people of Pharaoh and their predecessors: they
denied Our Signs and Allah called them to account for their sins. For Allah is strict in
punishment.
Allah called Pharaoh’s people to account for their sins, and they were punished for their "dhanb".
3:16 (Namely)
those who say: "Our Lord! we have indeed believed: forgive us then our sins and save
us from the agony of the fire."
Here we see people asking forgiveness for their "dhanb" because without forgiveness of their "dhanb" they will end up in the agony of fire (hell).
5:18 (Both)
the Jews and the Christians say: "We are sons of Allah and His beloved." Say:
"Why then doth He punish you for your sins? Nay ye are but men of the men He hath
created: He forgiveth whom He pleaseth and He punisheth whom He pleaseth: and to Allah
belongeth the dominion of the heavens and the earth and all that is between: and unto Him
is the final goal (of all)."
Here Muhammad is saying that Christians and Jews are being punished by Allah for the "dhanb". Thus their "dhanb" earns punishment from Allah, not a wink of an eye.
5:49 And
this (He commands): Judge thou between them by what Allah hath revealed and follow not
their vain desires but beware of them lest they beguile thee from any of that (teaching)
which Allah hath sent down to thee. And if they turn away be assured that for some of
their crimes it is Allah's purpose to punish them. And truly most men are rebellious.
Here "dhanb" is defined as "crimes". Does any sincere person think that a criminal act is more than just a "mistake"? Of course not. How do you think God views "crimes".
6:6
See they not how many of those before them We did destroy? Generations We had
established on the earth in strength such as We have not given to you for whom We poured
out rain from the skies in abundance and gave (fertile) streams flowing beneath their
(feet): yet for their sins We destroyed them and raised in their wake fresh generations
(to succeed them).
God is destroying generations of people for their "dhanb".
7:100 To
those who inherit the earth in succession to its (previous) possessors is it not a guiding
(lesson) that if We so willed We could punish them (too) for their sins and seal up their
hearts so that they could not hear?
Here the implication is that people could be punished by God for their "dhanb". "Dhanb" is worthy of punishment.
8:52 "(Deeds)
after the manner of the people of Pharaoh and of those before them: they rejected the
signs of Allah and Allah punished them for their crimes: for Allah is strong and strict in
punishment:
Again, people were punished by God for their "dhanb = crimes". Allah is "strong and strict" in dishing out punishment for people’s "dhanb".
8:54 "(Deeds)
after the manner of the people of Pharaoh and those before them": they treated as
false the signs of their Lord; so We destroyed them for their crimes and We drowned the
people of Pharaoh: for they were all oppressors and wrong-doers.
Again, for their "dhanb = crimes" people were destroyed and drowned by God. These people who committed "dhanb" were "oppressors and wrong-doers".
9:102 Others
(there are who) have acknowledged their wrong-doings: they have mixed an act that was good
with another that was evil. Perhaps Allah will turn unto them (in mercy): for Allah is
Oft-Forgiving Most Merciful.
Ali’s note says: "These were some whose will was weak and succumbed to evil, although there was much good in them ..." Ali calls these "dhanb" evil. Is "evil" the same as a "forgetful mistake"?
12:29 "O
Joseph pass this over! (O wife) ask forgiveness for thy sin for truly thou hast been at
fault!"
Here we have a women who tried to seduce Joseph, then falsely accused him of trying to sexually molest her, being instructed to ask forgiveness of her "dhanb". Is lying a simple "mistake"? No. It is a sin before man and God.
12:97 They said: "O our father! ask for us forgiveness
for our sins for we were truly at fault."
Here we have Joseph’s brothers asking Jacob to ask God to forgive their "dhanb". What was their "dhanb"? They kidnapped Joseph and sold him into slavery. Then they lied about it to their father. Was this a simple "mistake", or a "memory lapse"? No, it was a brutal act, motivated by jealousy.
14:10 Their
apostles said: "Is there a doubt about Allah the Creator of the heavens and the
earth? It is He Who invites you in order that He may forgive you your sins and give you
respite for a term appointed!" They said: "Ah! ye are no more than human like
ourselves! Ye wish to turn us away from the (gods) our fathers used to worship: then bring
us some clear authority."
Here "dhanb" refers to idolatry. Is idolatry a mere "forgetful" act? And forgiveness of "dhanb" will save them from hellfire. Thus their "dhanb" will send them to hell without forgiveness.
26:14 "And
they have a charge of crime against me; and I fear they may slay me."
Here is Moses speaking. He said that he was charged with a "dhanb = crime". What was the crime? Murder. Would any Muslim say that murder is something that God overlooks?
28:78 He
said: "This has been given to me because of a certain knowledge which I have."
Did he not know that Allah had destroyed before him (whole) generations which were
superior to him in strength and greater in amount (of riches) they had collected? But the
wicked are not called (immediately) to account for their sins.
Here, the reference is to Allah destroying entire generations on account of their "dhanb". Does Allah destroy entire generations because of simple mistakes?
29:40 Each
one of them We seized for his crime: of them against some We sent a violent tornado (with
showers of stones); some were caught by a (mighty) Blast; some We caused the earth to
swallow up; and some We drowned (in the waters): it was not Allah Who injured (or
oppressed) them: they injured (and oppressed) their own souls.
Allah says he seized people for their "dhanb = crime". Look at how he punished them: violent tornado, showers of stones, mighty blast, swallowed by the earth, drowned in the water. Aren’t these "dhanb" bad? Does "dhanb" sound like it is something that God ignores? No. Rather, God sternly punishes "dhanb".
40:11, 12
They will say:" Our Lord! twice hast Thou made us without life and twice hast
Thou given us Life! Now have we recognized our sins: is there any way out (of this)?"
(The answer will be:) "This is because when Allah was invoked as the only (object of
worship) ye did reject Faith but when partners were joined to Him ye believed! The command
is with Allah Most High Most Great!"
Here people admit their "dhanb = sins". How did allah define their sins? Their "dhanb" was that they joined partners to allah. This type of sin is called shirk. It is considered by many Muslims to be unforgivable.
40:21 Do
they not travel through the earth and see what was the End of those before them? They were
even superior to them in strength and in the traces (they have left) in the land: but
Allah did call them to account for their sins and none had they to defend them against
Allah.
Allah is judging people for their "dhanb = sins". Look, their "dhanb" was severe enough that they needed defense against Allah, but they had none.
46:31 "O
our people hearken to the one who invites (you) to Allah and believe in him: He will
forgive you your faults and deliver you from a Penalty Grievous.
Here, Allah may forgive "dhanb = faults" and deliver people from a grievous penalty. So, these "dhanb" warrant a grievous penalty in Allah’s eyes.
61:12 He
will forgive you your sins and admit you to Gardens beneath which rivers flow and to
beautiful mansions in Gardens of Eternity: that is indeed the supreme achievement.
Here, Allah is going to forgive "dhanb = sins". Afterwards they will be admitted into paradise. The people’s "dhanb" is going to keep them out of paradise unless they are forgiven.
67:11 They
will then confess their sins: but far will be (Forgiveness) from the Companions of the
Blazing Fire!
People will be confessing their "dhanb = sins" but they will receive no forgiveness for them. Instead, these people are in hell on account of their sins.
91:14 Then
they rejected him (as a false prophet) and they hamstrung her. So their Lord on account of
their crime obliterated their traces and made them equal (in destruction High and low)!
Here people rejected a prophet as a false prophet and killed a special camel. What did Allah do on account of their "dhanb = crime"? He "obliterated their traces", i.e., Allah totally destroyed them! This was on account of their "dhanb".
*****
Let’s review. "Dhanb" is translated as sin, crime, & fault. How does Allah deal with people who have committed dhanb? Allah -
Obliterates them
Destroyed them
Puts them in hellfire
Gives them a grievous penalty
Calls them to account
Hits them with a violent tornado
Hits them with a mighty blast
Has the earth swallow them up
Drowns them in water
Punishes them
Puts them in the agony of fire
Allah does all this to people who commit "dhanb".
Does this sound like something Allah passes over as a minor "stumbling",
"mistake", or "act of forgetfulness"?
Of course not! It sounds like Allah is severely punishing people for their "dhanb". It sounds like Allah is really serious about it. Don’t you agree?
And remember, Muhammad committed "dhanb". Muhammad was told to ask forgiveness for his "dhanb". And Muhammad taught in the Quran that forgiveness of "dhanb" was required to get into Paradise. Otherwise, a person with unforgiven "dhanb" ends up in hell.
My response:
Same as above. I already showed and proved from the Noble Quran that Prophets did sin before.
He wrote:
EVIDENCE
FROM THE HADITH
Earlier I synthesized portions from Muhammad’s prayers, recorded in Bukhari’s Hadith. Here are the four Hadith in full.
8.335: Narrated
Shaddad bin 'Aus:The Prophet said, "The most superior way of asking for forgiveness
from Allah is:
'Allahumma anta Rabbi la ilaha illa anta. Khalaqtani wa ana
'abduka, wa ana 'ala 'ahdika wa Wa'dika mastata'tu abu'u Laka bi ni 'matika wa abu'u Laka
bidhanbi; faghfirli fa'innahu la yaghfiru-dh-dhunuba ill a ant a. A'uidhu bika min sharri
ma sana'tu.' If somebody recites this invocation during the night, and if he should die
then, he will go to Paradise (or he will be from the people of Paradise). And if he
recites it in the morning, and if he should die on the same day, he will have the same
fate."
The Arabic is translated as:
"Oh Allah! You are my Lord. None has the right to be
worshiped but You. You created me, and I am your slave, and I am faithful to my covenant
and my promise as much as I can. I acknowledge before You , all the blessings You have
bestowed upon me and confess to You all my sins, so please forgive them, as no one can
forgive sins except You. And I seek refuge in You from all the evil I have done."
8.379: Narrated
'Aisha:
The Prophet used to say, "O Allah! I seek refuge with
You from laziness and
geriatric old age, from all kinds of sins and from being in
debt; from the affliction of the Fire and from the punishment of the Fire and from the
evil of the affliction of wealth; and I seek refuge with You from the affliction of
poverty, and I seek refuge with You from the affliction of Al-Mesiah Ad-Dajjal. O Allah!
Wash away my sins with the water of snow and hail, and cleanse my heart from all the sins
as a white garment is cleansed from the filth, and let there be a long distance between me
and my sins, as You made East and West far from each other."
8.407: Narrated
Abu Musa: The Prophet used to invoke Allah with the following invocation: 'Rabbi-ghfir-li
Khati 'ati wa jahli wa israfi fi amri kullihi, wa ma anta
a'lamu bihi minni. Allahumma ighfirli khatayaya wa 'amdi, wa jahli wa jiddi, wa kullu
dhalika'indi. Allahumma ighrifli ma qaddamtu wa ma akhartu wa ma asrartu wa ma a'lantu.
Anta-l-muqaddimu wa anta-l-mu'akh-khiru, wa anta 'ala kulli shai'in qadir.'
The Arabic is translated as:
"O my Lord! Forgive my sins and my ignorance and my
exceeding the limits of righteousness in all my deeds and what you know better than I. O
Allah. Forgive my mistakes, those done intentionally or out of my ignorance or without or
with seriousness, and I confess that all such mistakes are done by me. O Allah! Forgive my
sins of the past and of the future with I did openly or secretly. You are the One Who
makes the things go before and You are the One Who delays them, and You are the
Omnipotent."
8.408: Narrated
Abu Musa Al-Ash'ari: The Prophet used to invoke Allah, saying, "Allahumma ighfirli
khati'ati wa jahli wa israfi fi amri, wa ma anta a-'lamu bihi minni. Allahumma ighfirli
hazali wa jiddi wa khata'i wa amdi, wa kullu dhalika 'indi."
The Arabic is translated as:
"O Allah! Forgive my mistakes and my ignorance and my
exceeding the limit (boundaries) of righteousness in my deeds; and forgive whatever You
know better than I. O Allah! Forgive the wrong I have done jokingly or seriously, and
forgive my accidental and intentional errors, all that is present in me."
In these prayers, Muhammad uses a different word for sin. Instead of using "dhanb", he uses the root word "khati’a".
The Encyclopedia of Islam [9] defines Khati’a as:
"Moral lapse, sin, a synonym of dhanb. The root means "to fail,
stumble", "make a mistake", "of an archer whose arrow misses the
target".
In his prayers, Muhammad acknowledges a whole spectrum of sin: evil, mistakes, ignorance, wrong, accidental errors, intentional errors, past and future sins, and filth. These are not simple "mistakes", these are offensive sins in the context of his prayers.
Muhammad acknowledged he was a sinner. Don’t Muhammad’s prayers for forgiveness establish the fact that he knew how severe his sins were? He knew Allah punishes sin, and that is why he was always pleading for forgiveness from Allah. Muhammad didn’t want to burn in hell for his crimes.
And, Muhammad did believe and fear he was going to suffer:
Sahih Muslim, [10], Book 4, Number 1212:
Narrated Aisha:
"The Prophet entered my house
when a Jewess was with me and she was saying: Do you know that you would be put to trial
in the grave? The Messenger of Allah trembled (on hearing this) and said: It is the Jews
only who would be put to trial. Aisha said: We passed some nights and then the Messenger
of Allah said: Do you know that it has been revealed to me: "You would be put to
trial in the grave"? Aisha said: I heard the Messenger of Allah seeking refuge from
the torment of the grave after this."
Allah "revealed" to Muhammad he would be put to trial in the grave. Muhammad constantly prayed for refuge from his upcoming torment. Why? If Muhammad were so pure and innocent, why would Allah be tormenting him in the grave? Muhammad was aware of his sins, and thus, he prayed for forgiveness.
What were some of Muhammad’s sins? Examine his actions and judge accordingly. As I’ve read the Islamic source material, i.e., the Quran, Hadith, and Sira, I have come across some shocking deeds. Few Muslims know about these actions. However, they are all recorded in the source materials. These materials were all written by devout Muslims, who wanted to tell to the truth to the best of their ability.
My response:
Again, same as above. I already showed and proved from the Noble Quran that Prophets did sin before.
He wrote:
LIST OF SOME OF
MUHAMMAD’S SINS
Here is a listing of some of Muhammad’s sins:
1) The torturing and killing of a man just to get money:
My response:
That is a flat out lie!
He wrote:
2) Allowing female slaves to be raped:
My response:
It's funny that you mentioned that when Allah Almighty specifically forbade that in the Noble Quran:
Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah: "Musaykah, a slave-girl of some Ansari, came and said: My master forces me to commit fornication. Thereupon the following verse was revealed: "But force not your maids to prostitution (when they desire chastity). (24:33)" (Translation of Sunan Abu Dawud, Divorce (Kitab Al-Talaq), Book 12, Number 2304)"
The Hadith and Noble Quran in Noble Verse 24:33 prohibit for Muslim men to rape their slave girls. The Bible on the other hand makes no mention of it. Both the Noble Quran and the Bible do allow for men to sleep with their captive girls. But the Bible never prohibited any rapes to be done.
So, your pornful bible; the book of women's breasts and vaginas taste like "wine", falls short in morals, ethics, and captives treatment when compared with the Noble Quran.

My response:
Oh really? How about addressing Jesus' sin of clear hypocrisy when he only bowed down to GOD Almighty ONLY during his most desperate times. He never bowed down to GOD Almighty in any other time in his life!
From www.answering-christianity.com/Jesus_hypocrite.htm
The Jesus of the Bible is a hypocrite:
A Christian friend of mine sent me this illustration of Jesus peace be upon him begging GOD Almighty before he was put on the cross:
This illustration was painted by Mr. Matthew Philleo; may Allah Almighty guide him
to Islam. Ameen.
Note: The illustration that Mr. Matthew drew is not really accurate, because Jesus did put his face on the ground and worshipped GOD Almighty:
"Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed....(From the NIV Bible, Matthew 16:39)"
It is really interesting that Mr. Matthew chose to draw a picture of Jesus bowing to Allah Almighty. This rare and not so usual practice in Christianity is something we Muslims do 5 times every single day. What Jesus did during his most desperate times in trying to glorify GOD Almighty in the best possible way he can to grab GOD Almighty's attention and to show Him that he (Jesus) is giving Him (GOD) everything he can and is brining himself in the lowest possible humility for Him, we Muslims simply do it 5 times every day without being desperate to glorify GOD Almighty.
Very Important Note: Practicing Muslims do ask GOD Almighty in Prayer when their faces are on the ground during the 5-daily prayers. I was taught that this is the best position to ask Allah Almighty in. My point is that what Jesus did during his most desperate times, we Muslims do it every single day! It seems to me that any practicing Muslim glorifies GOD far more than what Jesus in the Bible did and will ever do.
The incident of Jesus bowing to GOD Almighty in worship is often ignored by Trinitarian Christians. I am surprised that Trinitarian Christians don't even have any problem with the seriousness of this incident. Let us look at few points here:
1- When Jesus bowed down to GOD Almighty only during his desperate times and not in any other time, this tells us that Jesus did not worship GOD Almighty properly during his normal times, because he immediately compromised the normal way that he taught his followers:
"But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. (From the KJV Bible, Matthew 6:5-8)"
2- Jesus did not pray in secret to GOD Almighty. He prayed in a totally different and better way. Jesus contradicted his very own commands.
3- Jesus' incident was simply telling GOD: Listen GOD, I will not sit in my room and pray to you in secret as I commanded my followers. I will do even more to you. I will bow down to you and worship you in the maximum humility, and I pray that you save me from the pain that I am about to go through. This is my extra bonus prayer to you GOD! Save me!!
Another incident that shows Jesus as a hypocrite:
Jesus did not want his followers to repeat their prayers to GOD Almighty in a short time:
"And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him. (From the KJV Bible, Matthew 6:5-8)"
So according to Jesus in Matthew 6:5-8, Christians should not ask GOD Almighty more than once about the same thing, because only the heathens (infidels) do that. Ok, let's look at what Jesus himself did when he started to pray to his GOD Almighty:
Matthew 16:36-50
36. Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called
Gethsemane, and he said to them, "Sit here while I go over there and pray."
37. He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along with him, and he began to be
sorrowful and troubled.
38. Then he said to them, "My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of
death. Stay here and keep watch with me."
39. Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, "My
Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you
will."
40. Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. "Could you men
not keep watch with me for one hour?" he asked Peter.
41. "Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is
willing, but the body is weak."
42. He went away a second time and prayed, "My Father, if it
is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, may your will be
done."
43. When he came back, he again found them sleeping, because their eyes were heavy.
44. So he left them and went away once more and prayed the third time,
saying the same thing.
45. Then he returned to the disciples and said to them, "Are you still sleeping
and resting? Look, the hour is near, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of
sinners.
46. Rise, let us go! Here comes my betrayer!"
47. While he was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived. With him was a
large crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests and the elders of the
people.
48. Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: "The one I kiss is the
man; arrest him."
49. Going at once to Jesus, Judas said, "Greetings, Rabbi!" and kissed
him.
50. Jesus replied, "Friend, do what you came for."
(From the NIV Bible, Matthew 16:36-50)
How many times did Jesus pray over the same thing in such a small period of time?
3 times!!! And since we're
speaking of hypocrisy here, isn't Jesus a double-faced hypocrite in Matthew 16:46,50 for
calling Judas "his betrayer", and then calling him "friend" after
that?
Was Judas really Jesus' "friend"? Isn't Jesus supposed to be the Creator of the Universe as the polytheist trinitarians claim? Then am I wrong for taking Jesus, my supposed perfect GOD, at his own words and exposing his faults?
Conclusion:
I am not asking you to stop believing in Jesus peace be upon him. Jesus was not a liar. The Bible's New Testament is the book that is full of lies and man-made corruptions and alterations. Jesus was not a hypocrite. Yes, the Jesus of the Bible is a hypocrite as I clearly showed above. The tough situations Jesus was put through clearly took away his "perfection" and showed that he can not be the Creator of the Universe. But the Jesus of Islam never claimed to be perfect, nor ever claimed to be GOD.
So the least I am asking from you, Mr. reader, is that if you're a Trinitarian Christian, then you should desert this stupidity immediately!! I truly wish and pray that you do embrace Islam; the True Divine Religion of GOD Almighty. But if you can't, then at least desert this polytheist and pagan practice, so you would at least have some chance to be saved in the End:
"Say: He is God, the One and Only; God, the Eternal, Absolute; He begetteth not, nor is He begotten; And there is none like unto Him. (The Noble Quran, 112:1-4)"
Jesus was no creator, and even your very own corrupted New Testament proves it as I clearly showed above.
Jesus' own actions proved that he was no more than a Creation from GOD Almighty that had physical and psychological limitations and fears. When Jesus was faced with the death challenge, he failed to be perfect. He compromised his own teachings about proper prayers. He also so ridiculously bowed down to GOD Almighty for the FIRST TIME in a hope to further please GOD Almighty during his most desperate times. This is not worship. This is a clear hypocrisy!!
Need I also remind you that Jesus did not know when the Hour would come? "No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. (From the NIV Bible, Matthew 24:36)"
My friend and brother/sister in humanity, desert the stupidity of trinity immediately so you can be saved. Otherwise, you have only yourself to blame.
He wrote:
PART 1
CONCLUSION: MUHAMMAD
WAS A SINNER
Muhammad admitted he was a sinner. He called his sins "filth" and "evil". However, later Muslim invented a un-Islamic teaching that Muhammad was not a sinner. They did this primarily to elevate Muhammad to a level near equal to Jesus. Muhammad wa a sinner in the truest sense of the word. Even in his own theology his sins warranted God’s punishment unless they were forgiven.
My response:
As I mentioned above, Allah Almighty in the Noble Quran never recognized the Prophets as sinless people. That's the only thing that matters here. Take for instance the story of David when he coveted one of his commander's wife and ended up SINNING by causing his commander to die in battle so David would then be able to marry her:
"Has the Story of the Disputants reached thee? Behold, they climbed over the wall of the private chamber; When they entered the presence of David, and he was terrified of them, they said: "Fear not: we are two disputants, one of whom has wronged the other: Decide now between us with truth, and treat us not with injustice, but guide us to the even Path. "This man is my brother: He has nine and ninety ewes, and I have (but) one: Yet he says, 'commit her to my care,' and is (moreover) harsh to me in speech." (David) said: "He has undoubtedly wronged thee in demanding thy (single) ewe to be added to his (flock of) ewes: truly many are the partners (in business) who wrong each other: Not so do those who believe and work deeds of righteousness, and how few are they?" And David gathered that We had tried him: he asked forgiveness of his Lord, fell down, bowing (in prostration), and turned (to God in repentance). So We forgave him this (lapse): he enjoyed, indeed, a Near Approach to Us, and a beautiful place of (Final) Return. (The Noble Quran, 38:21-25)"
So as we can see, David sinned before, but Allah Almighty Forgave him. So the point here is, yes, Prophets did sin and the Noble Quran did make mention of it.
Also, as I explained above, Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him always recognized that he was a human being. He was a human, and he made mistakes. Allah Almighty in the Noble Quran even mentioned some of Prophet Muhammad's mistakes:
"(The Prophet) frowned and turned away, Because there came to him the blind man (interrupting). But what could tell thee but that perchance he might grow (in spiritual understanding)?- Or that he might receive admonition, and the teaching might profit him? As to one who regards Himself as self-sufficient, (The Noble Quran, 80:1-5)"
"O Prophet! Why holdest thou to be forbidden that which God has made lawful to thee? Thou seekest to please thy consorts. But God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (The Noble Quran, 66:1)"
There are more examples that I can provide, but I think these Noble Verses are sufficient enough. So when we see Prayers to Allah Almighty from Prophet Muhammad, it wouldn't be a strange thing, because everyone, including the Prophets, needs Allah Almighty's Forgiveness, Mercy and Guidance. Humans are humans and they are naturally sinners and offenders to Allah Almighty:
"If God were to punish men according to what they deserve, He would not leave on the back of the (earth) a single living creature: but He gives them respite for a stated Term: when their Term expires, verily God has in His sight all His Servants. (The Noble Quran, 35:45)"
"If Allah were to punish Men for their wrongdoing, He would not leave, on the (earth), A single living creature: But He gives them respite For a stated Term: When their Term expires, They would not be able To delay (the punishment) For a single hour, just as They would not be able To anticipate it (for a single hour). (The Noble Quran, 16:61)"
In these Noble Verses we clearly see Allah Almighty saying that He wouldn't leave a single person (NOT EVEN HIS PROPHETS) alive on earth if He were to punish us according to what we deserve.
The Living and Everlasting Miracle in the Noble Quran had proven itself to be the Divine Truth from Allah Almighty:

PART 2: JESUS, CHRISTIANITY, AND SIN
JESUS WAS NOT A SINNER
Both Islam and Christianity teach that Jesus was not a sinner. In the Bible, it is explicitly stated that Jesus had no sin.
My response:
Jesus in the New Testament was worse than a sinner. He was a hypocrite as I clearly showed above.
He wrote:
FROM THE BIBLE
Heb 4:14 Therefore, since we have a great high priest who
has gone through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we
profess. 15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our
weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are--yet was
without sin.
2 Cor 5:20 We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though
God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to
God. 21 God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the
righteousness of God.
1 Peter 2:22 "He committed no sin, and no deceit was
found in his mouth."
1John 3:4 Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is
lawlessness. 5 But you know that he appeared so that he might take away our sins. And in
him is no sin.
FROM THE QURAN AND HADITH
The Quran teaches that when Gabriel appeared to Mary to announce Christ’s birth, Gabriel said in Chapter 19:19:
"He said: "Nay I am only a messenger from thy Lord
(to announce) to thee the gift of a holy son."
The word in Arabic for "holy" is zakiyya, a word with the rot meaning "purity". This form of the word principally means "innocent, pure, clean, faultless".
The Sahih Hadith also state that Jesus does not admit sin:
Bukhari Vol. 6, #236
... 'So they will go to Jesus and say, 'O Jesus! You are
Allah's Apostle and His Word which He sent to Mary, and a superior soul created by Him,
and you talked to the people while still young in the cradle. Please intercede for us with
your Lord. Don't you see in what state we are?' Jesus will say. 'My Lord has today become
angry as He has never become before nor will ever become thereafter. Jesus will not
mention any sin ...
Therefore, original Islam taught that Jesus had no sin. However, as stated earlier, later Muslims could not tolerate Muhammad’s inferiority and thus made up a doctrine that put Muhammad on par with Christ.
In "Muslim Studies", Vol. 2, p. 346, I. Goldziher wrote:
"An unconscious tendency prevailed to draw a picture of Muhammad that should
not be inferior to the Christian picture of Jesus."
This doctrine is actually contrary to Muhammad’s words in the Quran.
My response:
The Jesus of Islam was not a sinner nor a hypocrite. But the Jesus of the Bible was a sinner and a hypocrite. As I showed above, here is a sample:
From www.answering-christianity.com/Jesus_hypocrite.htm
The Jesus of the Bible is a hypocrite:
A Christian friend of mine sent me this illustration of Jesus peace be upon him begging GOD Almighty before he was put on the cross:
This illustration was painted by Mr. Matthew Philleo; may Allah Almighty guide him
to Islam. Ameen.
Note: The illustration that Mr. Matthew drew is not really accurate, because Jesus did put his face on the ground and worshipped GOD Almighty:
"Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed....(From the NIV Bible, Matthew 16:39)"
It is really interesting that Mr. Matthew chose to draw a picture of Jesus bowing to Allah Almighty. This rare and not so usual practice in Christianity is something we Muslims do 5 times every single day. What Jesus did during his most desperate times in trying to glorify GOD Almighty in the best possible way he can to grab GOD Almighty's attention and to show Him that he (Jesus) is giving Him (GOD) everything he can and is brining himself in the lowest possible humility for Him, we Muslims simply do it 5 times every day without being desperate to glorify GOD Almighty.
Very Important Note: Practicing Muslims do ask GOD Almighty in Prayer when their faces are on the ground during the 5-daily prayers. I was taught that this is the best position to ask Allah Almighty in. My point is that what Jesus did during his most desperate times, we Muslims do it every single day! It seems to me that any practicing Muslim glorifies GOD far more than what Jesus in the Bible did and will ever do.
The incident of Jesus bowing to GOD Almighty in worship is often ignored by Trinitarian Christians. I am surprised that Trinitarian Christians don't even have any problem with the seriousness of this incident. Let us look at few points here:
1- When Jesus bowed down to GOD Almighty only during his desperate times and not in any other time, this tells us that Jesus did not worship GOD Almighty properly during his normal times, because he immediately compromised the normal way that he taught his followers:
"But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. (From the KJV Bible, Matthew 6:5-8)"
2- Jesus did not pray in secret to GOD Almighty. He prayed in a totally different and better way. Jesus contradicted his very own commands.
3- Jesus' incident was simply telling GOD: Listen GOD, I will not sit in my room and pray to you in secret as I commanded my followers. I will do even more to you. I will bow down to you and worship you in the maximum humility, and I pray that you save me from the pain that I am about to go through. This is my extra bonus prayer to you GOD! Save me!!
Another incident that shows Jesus as a hypocrite:
Jesus did not want his followers to repeat their prayers to GOD Almighty in a short time:
"And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him. (From the KJV Bible, Matthew 6:5-8)"
So according to Jesus in Matthew 6:5-8, Christians should not ask GOD Almighty more than once about the same thing, because only the heathens (infidels) do that. Ok, let's look at what Jesus himself did when he started to pray to his GOD Almighty:
Matthew 16:36-50
36. Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called
Gethsemane, and he said to them, "Sit here while I go over there and pray."
37. He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along with him, and he began to be
sorrowful and troubled.
38. Then he said to them, "My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of
death. Stay here and keep watch with me."
39. Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, "My
Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you
will."
40. Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. "Could you men
not keep watch with me for one hour?" he asked Peter.
41. "Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is
willing, but the body is weak."
42. He went away a second time and prayed, "My Father, if it
is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, may your will be
done."
43. When he came back, he again found them sleeping, because their eyes were heavy.
44. So he left them and went away once more and prayed the third time,
saying the same thing.
45. Then he returned to the disciples and said to them, "Are you still sleeping
and resting? Look, the hour is near, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of
sinners.
46. Rise, let us go! Here comes my betrayer!"
47. While he was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived. With him was a
large crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests and the elders of the
people.
48. Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: "The one I kiss is the
man; arrest him."
49. Going at once to Jesus, Judas said, "Greetings, Rabbi!" and kissed
him.
50. Jesus replied, "Friend, do what you came for."
(From the NIV Bible, Matthew 16:36-50)
How many times did Jesus pray over the same thing in such a small period of time?
3 times!!! And since we're
speaking of hypocrisy here, isn't Jesus a double-faced hypocrite in Matthew 16:46,50 for
calling Judas "his betrayer", and then calling him "friend" after
that?
Was Judas really Jesus' "friend"? Isn't Jesus supposed to be the Creator of the Universe as the polytheist trinitarians claim? Then am I wrong for taking Jesus, my supposed perfect GOD, at his own words and exposing his faults?
Conclusion:
I am not asking you to stop believing in Jesus peace be upon him. Jesus was not a liar. The Bible's New Testament is the book that is full of lies and man-made corruptions and alterations. Jesus was not a hypocrite. Yes, the Jesus of the Bible is a hypocrite as I clearly showed above. The tough situations Jesus was put through clearly took away his "perfection" and showed that he can not be the Creator of the Universe. But the Jesus of Islam never claimed to be perfect, nor ever claimed to be GOD.
So the least I am asking from you, Mr. reader, is that if you're a Trinitarian Christian, then you should desert this stupidity immediately!! I truly wish and pray that you do embrace Islam; the True Divine Religion of GOD Almighty. But if you can't, then at least desert this polytheist and pagan practice, so you would at least have some chance to be saved in the End:
"Say: He is God, the One and Only; God, the Eternal, Absolute; He begetteth not, nor is He begotten; And there is none like unto Him. (The Noble Quran, 112:1-4)"
Jesus was no creator, and even your very own corrupted New Testament proves it as I clearly showed above.
Jesus' own actions proved that he was no more than a Creation from GOD Almighty that had physical and psychological limitations and fears. When Jesus was faced with the death challenge, he failed to be perfect. He compromised his own teachings about proper prayers. He also so ridiculously bowed down to GOD Almighty for the FIRST TIME in a hope to further please GOD Almighty during his most desperate times. This is not worship. This is a clear hypocrisy!!
Need I also remind you that Jesus did not know when the Hour would come? "No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. (From the NIV Bible, Matthew 24:36)"
My friend and brother/sister in humanity, desert the stupidity of trinity immediately so you can be saved. Otherwise, you have only yourself to blame.

THE CHRISTIAN
DOCTRINE OF SIN AND SINNER
Another quote from Gilchrist’s book sheds a deeper light on the issue:
It is important to note, before proceeding, that the "sinlessness" of the
prophets in Islam implies only a protection from errors of judgement in action and
character. It is to be distinguished from the Biblical doctrine which holds that true
sinlessness not only means a freedom from wrong doing but an actual state of heart, soul
and mind that reflects all the goodness of God’s holiness, love and righteousness.
Those who have "sinned" are also those who have "fallen short of the glory
of God" (Romans 3:23) and who have not attained to his righteousness.
"The impeccability of Muhammad has a different basis than the sinlessness of
Jesus. Muhammad’s impeccability is asserted for the purpose of establishing the
validity of his revelation. Jesus’ sinlessness is the corollary of the affirmation of
his divinity and also of the Christian conception of the true nature of man. Prophetic
protection, or, "impeccability" (‘ismah), is a postulate of the reason in
respect of revelation rather than a definition of the quality of Muhammad’s person.
(Thomson, "Muhammad: His Life and Person", "The Muslim World", Vol.
34, p. 115."
The only sinlessness know to Christianity is sinless perfection and it decrees that all who do not possess the righteousness of God are automatically counted as sinners. On the contrary Islam knows only a human nature which by instinct is prone to error. It knows nothing of fallen human nature which needs to be redeemed and made regenerate. Its concept of sinlessness is therefore confined purely to a preservation from deliberate error and wrongdoing — it does not require a corresponding positive possession of the image of the holy character of God in the soul. Thus it allows for so called "mistakes" and "acts of forgetfulness". (Gilchrist, op cit, page 275).
END OF GILCHRIST QUOTE
My response:
As I showed above, Jesus in the New Testament was a hypocrite and he did what the "heathens" did too from vain repetitions in such a very short time.
He wrote:
REFLECTION — WHAT KIND OF SINNER WAS MUHAMMAD?
Islam teaches that men do not have a fallen nature, but a nature that leans toward sin. Christians believe that man has a fallen nature. Jesus even stated that men were intrinsically evil:
Matthew 7:9 "Which of you, if his son asks for bread,
will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? 11 If you,
then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more
will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! 12 So in everything, do
to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.
Paul later added more detail on the fallen nature within at war with God’s will:
"For the good I want to do, I do not, but the evil I do
not want to do, I do", "But I see another law at work in the members of my body,
waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work
within my members." Romans 7:19, 23.
Christians believe that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God - Romans 3:23. We have experienced a battle within our souls, the flesh verses the spirit, this sinful bent fighting against submitting to God’s will.
Now, examine Muhammad’s prayer:
"Oh God, I acknowledge and confess before You, all my sins, please forgive
them, as no one can forgive sins except You. Forgive my mistakes, those done
intentionally, or out of my ignorance, with or without seriousness. Oh God, forgive my
sins and my ignorance, forgive my sins of the past and of the future, which I did openly
or secretly. Forgive the wrong I have done, jokingly or seriously. I seek Your protection
from all the evil I have done. Wash away my sins, and cleanse my heart, from all the sins
as a white garment is cleansed from the filth, and let there be long distance between me
and my sins, as You made the East and West far from each other.
Do his requests for forgiveness indicate that he had a fallen, corrupted nature? Here he was, praying as often as he could for forgiveness — why? His prayer is not the prayer of a man who had a few marginal "lapses". His prayer was one of a fearful, concerned man — a man who identified his sins as "filth" and "evil". He eventually believed that he would suffer in the grave to pay for his sins. He prayed because he was conscious of the sinful nature operating within him. Even if he did not articulate having a "sinful nature", we see the evidence of his sinful nature existing in his prayer. It was operating within him, and he wanted to deal with it. It was a nature that was with him all his years of self appointed prophethood. He knew that even in his future, he was going to sin - he asks God to forgive his future sins, and makes up a verse that God was going to do so - (48:1, 2). Deep down, he intuitively knew he was a sinner at heart, and he wanted forgiveness.
PART 2 CONCLUSION: MUHAMMAD HAD A SINFUL NATURE AS ALL MEN HAVE
SINFUL NATURES
According to Christian and Islamic teachings, Jesus was pure and sinless. Although the religions teachings on the sinful nature of man differ, a close examination of Muhammad’s actions and personal prayers, show that he fits precisely the Christian definition of "sinner".
Salvation is only through Jesus Christ. Muhammad did not know this. Instead of finding true forgiveness, deep in his heart, Muhammad lived in fear of his upcoming torment in the grave. Left on his own, with outside spiritual forces driving him, Muhammad concocted a bizarre religion, filled with various rituals, superstitions, and violence, all in an attempt to please a God he did not know.
My response:
Your conclusions are all false, because your article's points had been soundly refuted. You have presented nothing of substance, because all of your points about Prophets sinning do exist in the Noble Quran. Allah Almighty in the Noble Quran never recognized Prophets as sinless people. In fact, He did point out their sins, and I showed you examples of that.
I also showed you from the New Testament that Jesus was a complete hypocrite for prostrating to GOD Almighty only during his most desperate times. He never even once prostrated to GOD Almighty before that. What is the spiritual wisdom that Jesus is trying to tell you here?
Is Jesus telling you that when you're absolutely desperate to get something from GOD Almighty, then do prostrate to Him, otherwise you don't have to bother?
Is this the ridiculous message that Jesus in the New Testament is teaching you?
Also Jesus forbade his followers to do "vain repetitions" in prayers like the "heathens" do from the Jews in the synagogue.
Yet, Jesus himself prayed to GOD Almighty to save him from the cross three consecutive times in such a very short time!
Is Jesus a heathen? Why did he contradict and disown his own teachings when he was put to the test?
He wrote:
Pray this prayer:
"Lord Jesus, I confess to You that I am a sinner. I know there is a depth of
sin in my soul. Please forgive my sins. I know they are evil in Your sight. I believe that
You died for my sins. I believe that You were raised from the dead. I ask You to come into
my heart, to cleanse me from my sins, to receive me. I receive Your love for me, You are
God’s unique Son, and I choose to put my faith in You, and obey You."
My response:
As I mentioned above in my conclusion at: www.answering-christianity.com/jesus_hypocrite.htm
Conclusion:
I am not asking you to stop believing in Jesus peace be upon him. Jesus was not a liar. The Bible's New Testament is the book that is full of lies and man-made corruptions and alterations.

I also addressed John 19:36-37 from the Bible and proved that Jesus never got crucified, since GOD Almighty promised that he will protect Jesus' body and not let even a single bone be broken. My question to all Christians is: How in the world is it possible for the feet to get nailed on the cross without any penetration to the bones by the nails, hence breaking part of the feet's bones?! I also added refutations to Exodus 12:46, Numbers 9:12, Zechariah 12:10 and Psalm 34:20, which supposedly prove the Christians' belief about Jesus crucifixion. I proved that this dogma has no truth what so ever and exposed the wrong Trinitarian English translation of Zechariah 12:10.
