During the time of the Prophet, not everyone was able to meet him physically. Many people heard the message from loved ones, or some random dude walking by. There was an instance an old woman was advising a young...

Fourteen hundred years have passed since the revelation of the Holy Qur’an, and
to date this challenge hasn’t been met. No one has ever proven the reality of God to differ
from the Islamic understanding.
Furthermore, no one has proven the teachings of Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad to conflict. In fact, many have suggested the exact opposite—that these three prophets firmly support one another. As a result, many sincere nuns, priests, ministers and rabbis—educated clergy who know their respective religions best—have embraced Islam.

The Negus, the Christian ruler of Abyssinia, accepted Islam without ever having met Muhammad, and while the Muslims were still a small group, widely held in contempt and frequently fighting for their lives.

who are Muslim by literal but not by ideological definition. These individuals may call
themselves agnostic, Jewish or Christian, but they submit to the will of the Creator as

them. These are those who, when they learn the teachings of Islam, state, “We believe

So Abraham was a Hebrew, in a time when the term Jew did not even exist. The
descendants of Jacob were the Twelve Tribes of the Israelites, and only Judah and his line
came to be known as Jews. Even Moses, despite popular opinion, was not a Jew. Exodus
6:1620 identifies Moses as a descendant of Levi and not of Judah, and therefore a
Levite.
He was a law giver to the Jews, certainly, but not a Jew by the definition of that
time in history. This is not to diminish who he was and...
