A prophet by definition is one who can predict future events. Edited by Shibboleth - 22 August 2009 at 7:12pm |

An answer is only as good as the question. Why must a prophet necessarily predict future events and by what standard have you formed your definition? (you can deny it and you may be correct, but the wording in your question and its presumption at its bases rings of a evangelical) Edited by Andalus - 22 August 2009 at 7:15pm |

The question is 'what did Muhammad prophecy' The definition only runs concurrent with it's meaning. It's the question that's requires an answer. |

salaams
this is from MSN ENCARTA ON LINE
I BELIEVE MUHAMMAD FITS RIGHT IN TO SEVERAL DEFINITIONS OF A PROPHET
ALL SO IF YOU CAPITALIZE THE "P" TO MAKE IT A PROPER NOUN YOU'LL GET THIS DEFINITION ALSO FROM ENCARTA ONLINE:
SEEMS MUHAMMAD IS THE FIRST DEFINITION FOR " P"rophet

Prophet Muhammad ( PBUH ) came with so many prophecies in Quran and sunnah , that mentioned events in the past which were not known to him/his society, events that occurred during his life and events that occured afterward
Example of prophecies that spoke of past events : He told the story of Joseph and his brothers in details that weren't even known to the jews of his time ( Please refer to surah Yusuf ( 12 ) He told the story of how Zakaria was elected to be the caretaker of Mariam He told the stories he was asked about by the people of Quraish ( from an advice by the jews in AlMadina to test him ) , of the young people who went to the cave , and the king who ruled big parts of land ( Zul Qarnain ) ( Please refer to surah Al Kahf ( 18 ) Example of prophecies that occurred during his life : He told of the deaths on Nagashi ( kind of Habasha ( Sudan ) ) the same day he died , an event that would take weeks to arrive by the communication methods available by this time He told about the defeat of the romans by the persians , and that a few days later they will defeat the persians again He even mentioned a geographical information that couldn't possible be known by this time , which is that the place where the battle took place is the lowest land point on earth which is the dead see http://www.universetoday.com/guide-to-space/earth/lowest-point-on-earth/ He told of the winning of the battle of Badr , he even pointed in the battle field to places where certain people would die , which were found dead where he pointed He told of the death of his uncle ( abu lahab ) and his wife without believing in him Example of prophecies that happened after his life : He told of muslims entering Egypt He told of muslims entering Yemen , Sham ( which is currently what is Syria, Lebanon, Jordan and Palestine ) , then Iraq , and the exact order each will be entered He told that Othman will be killed He told of Ammar ibn Yasir to be killed He told of how his name/remembrance will be famous Quran says : 094.004 : And exalted thy fame The name Muhammad is the most popular first name on earth The name Muhammad is said out loud 5 times a day in every mosque in the world in Azan , and in every muslim's prayer With time differences , and the semi-spherical nature of our earth , this means that there's no second that passes without his name ( PBUH ) being said thousands if not millions of times This makes him by far the most mentioned person on earth No one from those who were rich, powerful and famous who lived during his times is still knowing or famous , except because of a relation to him Quran says : 15:9 : We have, without doubt, sent down the Message ( Quran ); and We will assuredly guard it (from corruption). Today , Quran is the most read book in the world , no other book is being memorized the same way muslim memorize Quran ( not only on the chapter , word and letter level , but on the level of vocal performance of each letter ) it's the only book that I know of that survived change or versioning over the years These are mere examples the list on each category ( as well as other categories , such as scientific ) can be very long Regards |

Until then, your question is worthless. Is this forward enough for you?

Prove that a prophet must nessecarily give a prophecy to be a prophet?
Prophets only need to have proof of their mediation between God and man...which may include signs or even miracles, but does not have to give a prophecy, though prophecy may be one of the signs.
