I am a Christian. Or at least I am at this moment. Some times I am a believer and sometimes I’m not. It depends on my state of mind at the time.
But when I am a beleiver, even though I can’t spell believer correctly I believe that Jesus is God incarnate.
My question is do Muslims similarly believe Mohammed to be God incarnate. I know I am very ignorant on this amd other matters but I want to improve. Thank you for your help…
No.
It is entirely clear, Mohammed was a prophet, in fact the last prophet.
Absolutely not - he is a prophet, and the last and greatest of the prophets, but he was just a man. This page looks like a good introduction - it says "Although Muhammad is deeply loved, revered and emulated by Muslims as God’s final messenger, he is not an object of worship. "
Grim
They also believe Jesus was a prophet, among other people.
No, they definitely don’t believe that, or anything like it; Mohammed is The Prophet - God’s chosen messenger, but not God himself.
The wikipedia page is also a good one:
Christianity is unique among major monotheistic religions in postulating an incarnate deity. (Of course Jews and Muslims might dispute that it is monotheistic because of the Trinity.) The only other major modern religion I can think of that has deities taking on human form is Hinduism. Older pagan religions frequently had gods taking on human (or animal) form.
But have any of those religions stated that such humanoid deities actually existed in physical form on Earth and described as walking among regular old humans? Or just *depicted * as human form?
Muslims (not Mulsims) believe in the same God as Christians do. Their name for him is Allah.
Most definitely. Avatars, or incarnated deities, are common in Hinduism. One of the best known is Krishna, an avatar of Vishnu, the Supreme God (according to some schools).
Certainly the Greek, Roman, and Norse gods are described as walking around in human or human-like form in many accounts.
One might also debate the status of Quetzalcoatl in the old Aztec religion. He’s sometimes described as being a god (or God) in physical form, though not a human physical form. But it’s hard to tell how much of that is due to cultural contamination from Christianity.
