Some differences between Mohammed and Jesus

1- About complying to God's laws

Well, let us begin with Christ. Totally, Christ obeyed the law, the Mosaic law to the letter. You read the New Testament and you'll see that Jesus Christ obeyed the law of Moses to the letter; He never erred in that area. But when we come to Mohammed, it's interesting, when do we say in surat Al Nissa, that is surat number 4 in the Quran, in verse 3, we read these words, "Marry women of your choice. Marry women of your choice two, or three, or four. But if you feel that you shall not be able to deal justly, then only one. Or the slaves that your right hand on this that is nearer to prevent you from doing injustice." Well, now according to the Quran, Allah commanded the Moslems, that any Moslem has the right to marry two, or three, or four, beside the slaves they take from war. You see, now, if this is the law of Allah, who has to obey first? I would say Mohammed. But Mohammed did not obey that because he married more than four. In fact he married nine, and in some biographies he married 14, and in some other biographies he married 21. Whatever the case, if it's nine, 14, or 21, he did not comply with the law of Allah. Why? Is he above the law, or is God working double standard, one for Mohammed, and one for the other Muslims?

 And beside that, when we go to surat Al Ahzab, we read, and this is surat number 33, we read more than that, Mohammed is given a privilege, "Oh, Mohammed, oh, prophet Mohammed, verily," that's Allah talking, "we have made lawful to you," I am quoting now from surat Al Ahzab, 33 verse 50, "Oh, prophet Mohammed, verily we have made lawful to you your wife to whom you have paid their Mahr, Mahr means the deposit before marriage, the bridal money, the Mahr in Arabic means the bridal money. And then he said, "and those slaves," Allah gave Mohammed the privilege of marrying all these women besides all the slaves, you know, whom your right hand possesses. When he went and fought, he came back with very beautiful young women, and they were added to the Harem, to the women in his house with no count. No count about that. We don't know how many Harem, how many concubines. But Allah is saying to Mohammed, "All right, go ahead, you have your wives, and you have your concubines." And then he said to him here, "whom Allah has given you. And the daughters," Allah made lawful to Mohammed to marry, "the daughters of your Am (which means uncle), and the daughter of his aunts," the sister of his mother, "and the daughters of your aunts and uncles who migrated with you."

And here is a very interesting thing. Listen carefully. "And a believing woman, a Moslem woman if she offers herself to the prophet Mohammed, and the prophet wishes to marry her, a privilege for you only." Could you believe it? Allah will dealing with double standard. When for the average of Moslems marry two, three, or four, and if you are afraid that you will not do justice to them, marry one. But to Mohammed he says, "Go ahead. All your wives are lawful. And then you can go and marry the daughters of your aunts and uncles, and a Moslem woman, if she offers herself to you, and you wish to marry her. Go ahead! There is no limit, Mohammed, for you." How come? How come? Is it right to marry only two, three, or four, or to marry without set limits?
If the Moslems will follow the example of Mohammed, they could go to marry plenty of women without feeling guilty by all means. Mohammed did not obey the law of Allah in the Quran concerning marriage. He did not. He put himself above the law of Allah, and contradicts the Quran. If the Quran is saying two, three, or four, here the Quran is saying marry, you married all these women, they are lawful, and if a woman comes to you and offers herself to you, you have to marry her, and this is a privilege for you. Double standard in the Quran

2-About Mohammed's life and Christ's life

the difference between Mohammed's life and Christ's life is a vast difference. First of all, Mohammed lived a sinful life. Christ lived a sinless life. And there is a big difference. And when I say that I have to refer to the Quran. When we go to the Quran, in surat al Inshirah, I say it in Arabic as it is, it is surat 94; and in that surat, Allah in the Quran is speaking to Mohammed. And what did he say? He said to him, "Have we not opened your breast for you, Mohammed?" And that they have the big story about the opening of the breast, you know. And that story is very interesting. I have to tell it to you to see it. They say that when Mohammed was 60 years old, he was shepherding the sheep in the desert, with one of his relatives, another boy. And then, two men with white apparel came, and made Mohammed to sleep on the sand. They opened his heart, his breast, got out his heart, cleansed it in a basin, and after that they put it back. They took something out of the heart of Mohammed and then they put it back.
I always say that this is an indication that every human being is born with sin. Or else, why was it necessary for two men to come and open Mohammed's breast, and get his heart, and cleanse it, if it is already clean? It is an indication that he inherited sin, and he needed to be cleaned of that sin.
But anyhow, in surat Al Inshirah , we continue here, he said, "Have we not opened your breast for you," and I explained that, about this operation that happened to Mohammed, "and removed from you your burden." This translation is a deception. Remove from your inequity, to see which weight down your back. So sin was so heavy on the back on Mohammed that it weighed down. And Allah in the Quran is saying, "and remove from you your inequity, which weight down your back." So, Mohammed was a sinner by birth. Then he was a sinner by practice, and then we come to another surat here, suratAl Fateh, surah 48, and we read in that surat these very important words, "Verily, we have given you," that's verse number one, and two, "Verily, we have given you, oh, Mohammed, a manifest victory that Allah may forgive you of your sins of the past, and future, and complete his favor on you, and guide you on the straight path." Well, if you read this verse without bias, you'll see that Mohammed was sinful, he needed forgiveness; not only forgiveness of his past sins, but forgiveness for sins he will commit. And then again, he was not yet in the straight path, and Allah is saying then, "and to guide you on the straight path." If he was already there, he doesn't need any guidance, he is already there.

 So Mohammed lived a sinful life. Christ lived a sinless life. He said to those who challenges you, "Who of you convicts me of sin?" Nobody. He lived here, three years and His ministry, He was in touch with sinners, with women. No finger was raised or point anything in His life. When he met women, He changed women. When He met men, He changed men. He was never defiled by the sin around Him. He was sinless. He was sinless from His birth, He was sinless in His nature, He was sinless because He was born of a virgin. And the reason why He was born by a virgin, that He might not inherit our sinful nature.
I remember one tine, I was on TV, and the lady called, it was a call TV, and the caller said, "Doctor, why do you say that Christ would not be tempted with sin? He was human, and He could fantasize about sexual things as any other person." And I said, "Lady, let me tell you something, Christ was not able to fantasize any sexual things or any evil thoughts because he did not inherit sin. He was born of a virgin. He was different from us. We fantasize because we have corrupted nature. He cannot because He had totally pure nature." And even in the Quran, when the angel Gabriel came to Mary he said, "that Allah might give you a pure child," that means pure from His birth. So Mohammed lived a sinful life. Christ lived a sinless life.
