Jesus and Mohammed 2
Jesus Christ versus Prophet Mohammad
We know of the Christian story of Angel Gabriel announcing to Virgin Mary
that she would be God’s mother through an immaculate conception. As understood
Jesus Christ was born without human biological father born humbly in a manger in
Bethlehem with a foster father Joseph along with Mary. Remarkable signs appeared
upon His birth which commenced the recognition of His divine attributes believing
Jesus is the Divine Messiah and the prophesied Son or Lamb of God as mentioned in
the Old Testament who will save sinful world. He grew up as a carpenter manifesting
wise wisdoms always speaking and showing examples of a righteous individual.
Believers and followers adored and praised Jesus and His teachings which He always
emphasized that His teachings are in accordance to God the Father’s words. His
words, teachings and examples were treasured and inspired the disciples to make the
writings of documents which later were compiled as the New Testament containing
all the gospels believed as the Words of God or the “good news”. Miraculous events
took place during His presence. The miracles that happened became stronger proof
that strengthened the belief of the followers and convinced other non-believers that
Jesus indeed is the Son of God. Jesus devoted His life for the people and there is no
indication of any establishment of His own family. There is no any account that he got
wife and children but there is clear indication that throughout His life, he lived with
His mother and a foster father giving them high regards and respect. Jesus lived with
the people and tried to help the people to go through the right path. He provided
guidance to the people to go back to God and attain salvation.
On Prophet Mohammed’s story, he was born from a poor family with some
signs that he would become God’s Messenger from the time before he was conceived.

enough milk to feed him but her milk flowed abundantly when baby Mohammed was
fed. The skinny goat and produced milk more than enough to feed the village. He later
