The Kaaba is a cuboidal-style building, residing next to the al-Masjid al-Haram mosque. It's regarded as the most holy place in Islamic religion -- during prayer worldwide, Muslims face towards the Kaaba (the direction is referred to as the qibla.
The cube structure is composed of granite and stands on a marble base. It's covered by a large black cloth (the kiswah), also consisting of gold embroidering. The Kaaba has an interior of marble floors and walls. The walls are inset with Qur'anic inscriptions and verses.
The eastern corner of the Kaaba contains the Black Stone. Many believe the stone to be a meteorite dating back to the time of Adam and Eve. Islamic religion teaches that the stone was originally white, but turned black when it arrived on earth due to sin. Further, the prophet Muhammad supposedly kissed the Black Stone.
According to the Qur'an, Abraham and Ishmael built the Kaaba in a location that "reflects" a house in Heaven that Adam built.
During the reign of the Meccan pagans, the Kaaba was surrounded with 360 idols (one for each day of the year). After Muhammad conquered Mecca, he destroyed all of the idols while reciting "Truth has arrived and falsehood has perished for falsehood is by its nature bound to perish."
For more info, see the Kaaba Wikipedia entry.
Subhannallah, the truth! =D Jazakallah khair
MASHALLAH ISLAM IS A PERFECT AND TRUE RELIGION AND MOST IMPORTANT EVERYTHING IS LOGICALLY DEFINED, WHICH MAKE SENSE TO MIND.
Its good to c Macca's Map
the 360 idols are hindu gods.nabi muhammad destroy the idols.nabi muhammad try to cheats us
Instead of many temples, just one temple and one stone as a locus. A unifying trick, but the worst weak point of a cult.
"he destroyed all of the idols" - that is absolutly wrong, Mohammed nabi (s.w.a) never destroyed any Idols. he just replaced it out from ka'ba. Islam is against Idol worship but Islam is prohibited to insult or hurting other relegions sentiments.[ dear brother atleast try to understand " what is Islam?".]
why is it all bright and white?
you can't really see the Kaaba itself.
Response to FAREED- you brought it up, so here's what I think about Islam:
Mohammed was the son of a dog. If Mohommed were a true prophet, the fruit of his teaching would not be murder.
Just want to know why its so white. I mean why I can't view any clear image?
ST - Islam means Submission, A Muslim is onw who submits to the will of the deity Allah, There are some peaceful and loving aspects to the Islamic faith, there are conversley some evil aspects. Allah has delivered a number of punishments in his book, He also said follow the prophet which leaves extremists open to interpreting the hadith as they see fit and hence killing in the name of Allah believing they are righteous, you must take the rough with the smooth.

Peace,
The Muslims pray in the "direction" of the Holy Kaaba ... they don't pray to IT.
Islam does indeed prohibit worshiping of anything or anyone other than Allah Almighty. Islam is the same monotheistic message brought by previous Prophets (such as Noah, David, Abrahem, Ishmael, Isaac, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad peace be upon all of them). If any one (even Muslim) says he/she prays to the Holy kaaba then they are not practicing Islam.
Kaaba is a structure built by the Abrahem (AR: Ibraheem) and Ishamel (AR: Isma'eel) (peace be upon them) as a place of worship by the command of Allah Almighty.
Overtime the Monotheistic religion of Abrahem and Ishmael (in Arab land) diminished and people started putting their own idols inside the Holy Kaaba and they place three larger ones outside.
Someone in the earlier posts (users such as I AM and Voice of God and others) made some derogatory comment about Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him; such remarks are not befitting our good friends let alone Prophets - whether it be Moses, Jesus, or Prophet Muhammad peace be upon all of them. Ask yourselves if you would use the same term for your Prophet or whomever you follow? All Prophets are pure and their message is pure. For such users I really ask them to truly read an objective book about the Life of Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him (suggestion: Muhammad by Martin Lings)
Regarding Islam and its teaching - The word Islam itself is rooted in PEACE. Salaam (Muslim greeting means "Peace"). It does not preach terrorism just like any other religion (Chistianity, Judaism, etc). If you study the Life of Prophet Muhammad and exegesis of Quraan you will find the truth.
Much like any other religion, few followers (rather a small sect of followers) interpret it negatively and use it as an excuse to carry out their sadistic oppressions. Those oppressor / terrorists don't distinguish between Muslim or Non-Muslim. To them their power and their existence matters ... at any cost.
In any case, I leave you with a message of Peace and with a request to mind your language when it comes to Prophets...any Prophet ... whether you believe in them or not. Making such derogatory comments is not part of good character or manner preached by your religion and Islam.
And God knows best.
PEACE
People!! This image is NOT the image of the Kaabah from space. It is nothing but a graphical image created by google sketch. Many people don't want us to see what the Kaabah really looks like since there has been many research that was done and deleted to prove the Kaabah's amazing miracles.
Infidels, delete as you like on the earth, but victory will be ours!!
why kaaba is not clearly pictured on google earth?
Why don,t all non-muslims understand the glory of Islam, Quran and all mighty Allah as they notice this gathering every year. Iwas trying to have a close look of various passages and construction of kabba mosque building ......but i couldn,t find it.
This bastered by name of" I AM" is real bastered.We love kaaba and our religion.Allaho Akbar.I slam teaches to respect other religion but I wanted to say bastered to this "I AM" as he is getting out of boundaries.

vaise to, i dont beleive in disrespecting ny relegion....same apply for islam....
problem is not islam... problem is its follower, and how they interpret its teaching...

Do not condemn those of whom are not muslim.
I was a devout catholic but after learning of some things about my blood line, I am now deeply devoted to Islam.
But if I do not do the practises, obey the rituals, am I any less devoted to God?
Surely it is what is forbidden in a religion that ensures more then what is nescesary.
To "Fear Allah..." - "Muslims will address world peace" - in other words, Muslims will do what they've done for 1400 years, oppress everyone, steal all their wealth, force conversions or slaughter them en mass. Today there are still Arab tribes in the Jordan-West Bank region who admit they were forced to convert from Judaism by usurper Muslims who raided the region in the 7th century. Muslims haven't done one thing to advance peace, either around the world or among their own citizens. To leave peace to Muslims is to leave weight-loss programs to Sally Struthers. No other religion has slaughtered more people and currently colonize more land than Muslims.
To "respect all" - Feb 5th - Funny name for someone who just left a racist rant against Jews. Unless you mean - "respect all...except the ones you don't like". NOW, you're acting like a Muslim. Answer me this....if the Jews are waiting for a "fake messiah" why were the Muslims so afraid that they placed a big cemetery in front of the Lion's Gate of the Old City and bricked up the entrance so the "messiah" cannot enter as prophesied? How can you be afraid of a fake? Answer me another riddle - if Jews are so bad, why are they able to repel every Arab attack on them with less money and less weapons? Isn't Allah strong enough to defeat a few under-armed Heebs?? Or maybe Muslims are just disobeying their own Quran which states Jews will return to their holy land and any who impede them will be met with wrath. A person who follows some of their religious laws and ignores others are no more holy than one who is not religious. As a person who "respects all", you should respect those who are not Muslim as well as those who are and choose not to follow your path of terror and evil.
Understand if you r patient: -Concept of God in Islam and Hinduism is exactly the same:
In ISLAM: Touchstone (Criteria) of Theology (Divinity):
In the glorious Qur’an, Surah Ikhlas – Chap-112, Verse-1 to 4.
1. Qul huwallahu Ahad. (Say, he is Allah one and only).
2. Allah hussamad. (Allah, the absolute and eternal).
3. Lamyalid wa Lamyulad. (He begets not, nor is he begotten, He has got no superior, no Lord, no father, no mother).
4. Wa Lamyakullahu Kufuwan Ahad. (There is nothing like him i.e. no image, no sculpture and no idol). The moment we imagine of a shape, picture or idol is not GOD coz God cannot be seen.
In HINDUISM: Touchstone (Criteria) of Theology (Divinity):
Chandogya Upanishad, Chap-6, Section-2, Verse-1.
1. Ekkam Ividityam. (God is only one without the second).
Bhagavad Gita, Chap-10, Verse-3.
2. Yo maamjamnandi chavetti lokmaheshwaram, Asammudha samatyershu sarvpapaih pramuchyate. (Almighty God is the Supreme Lord of all the worlds, if one will believe in this fact, his sins will be forgiven).
Shvetashvatara Upanishad, Chap-6, Verse-9.
3. Na chasya kasij janita na chadhipah. (He begets not, nor is he begotten, He has got no superior, no Lord, no father, no mother).
Shvetashvatara Upanishad, Chap-4, Verse-19. And
Yajurveda, Chap-32, Verse-3.
4. Na Tasya Pratima Asthi. (There is nothing like him i.e. no image, no sculpture and no idol).The moment we imagine of a shape, picture or idol is not GOD coz God cannot be seen.
Shvetashvatara Upanishad, Chap-4, Verse-20. (Almighty God is imageless and no one can see him with his eyes.)
Bhagavad Gita, Chap-7, Verse-20. (All those whose intelligence has been stolen by material desires, they worship demi-gods.) Demi-Gods mean Idols.
Yajurveda, Chap-40, Verse-8. (Almighty God is imageless and pure.)
Yajurveda, Chap-40, Verse-9:
Andhatma pravishanti, ya asambhuti mupaste. (They are entering darkness those who worship the natural things.) Like fire, stone, water, sun, etc. And the Verse continues which further says: (They are entering more in darkness those who worship the “Sambhuti”) Like chair, idols, table, etc.
Asambhuti means “Natural things”.
Sambhuti means “Artificial things”.
Amongst the Vedas, the most sacred and the oldest is the Rig-Veda.
In Rig-Veda Book-1, Hymn-164, Verse-46.and
Rig-Veda Book-10, Hymn- 114, Verse-5.
Ekkam Satya Vipra Bahuda Vidhaante. (Truth is one, God is one, and Sages call him by a variety of names.)
And Rig-Veda alone in Book-2, Hymn-1 gives no less than 33 different attributes to almighty God.
One amongst them is “BRAHAMA” which is mentioned in Rig-Veda Book-2, Hymn-1, Verse-3.
If you translate “BRAHAMA” into English, it means “The Creator” and in Arabic, it means “KHALIQ”. There is no objection when someone says that Almighty God is “BRAHMA” or “CREATOR” or “KHALIQ”. But if someone says that Almighty God is BRAHMA who has got 4 heads and on each head is a crown, then there is an objection, moreover they are going against Shvetashvatara Upanishad Chap-4, Verse-19, which says “Natasya pratima asthi”= Of him there is no likeness.
The other attribute given is “VISHNU” in Rig-Veda Book-2, Hymn-1, Verse-3.
If you translate “VISHNU” into English, it means “The Cherisher/Sustainer” and in Arabic, it means “RAB”. There is no objection when someone says that Almighty God is “VISHNU” or “CHERISHER/SUSTAINER” or “RAB”. But if someone says that Almighty God is VISHNU who is relaxing on a couch of snakes travelling in the sea or flying in the air on the bird GARUDA or has 4 hands and has Chakra on the right hand, then there is an objection, moreover they are going against Yajurveda, Chap-32, Verse-3, which says “Natasya Pratima Asthi”= Almighty God has got no Images.
It’s mentioned in,
Rig-Veda Book-8 Hymn-1, Verse-1, which says “Machadinadi Sansad”=Praise him alone, he alone deserves worship.
Rig-Veda Book-6 hymn-45, Verse-16, which says “Ya ik itmushtihi”=Praise him alone, he alone deserves worship.
And the
Brahma Sutra of Hinduism: Ekkam Braham, Duitya naste nehna naaste kinchan.
Meaning: - Bhagavan ek hai, doosra nahi hai nahi hai zara bhi nahi hai.
: - So if you read the Hindu Scriptures properly by understanding the meanings of each and every verse, then a person will be able to understand the Concept of God in Hinduism.
Kaaba which is located in Mecca city is also mentioned in RIGVEDA, BOOK-3, HYMN-29, VERSE-4. This says
“In ILA’s place we set thee down, upon the central point of earth.”
Note: - In this verse of Rig-Veda, ILA means GOD (ILAH) and as we know that, geographically, KAABA is at the center of the Earth which has been proved by Neil Armstrong. Since, Kaaba is mentioned in the oldest Veda which is Rig-Veda; therefore it clearly means that the Kaaba is there since the time when Rig-Veda came into existence. Now if the Hindus believe the Vedas to be the word of God then according to that they should do the pilgrimage of Kaaba as well. Now, we Muslims do not worship Kaaba, on the basis of Hazrat Bilal who, at the time of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), gave azaan after climbing on the Kaaba. Kaaba is a direction, and all the Muslims of the entire world face it while offering SALAH in order to show that there is only one GOD who is unseen, who has no LORD and no PARENTS, who neither begets nor is begotten.
One type of Worship in Hinduism is “SHAASTAANG” which means worship by touching eight parts of body. And as we know that we Muslims offer SALAH in which the best part is the “PROSTRATION” or if we translate it in Urdu it means “SAJDAH”. And we touch eight parts of our body to perform it. These are :( Forehead, Nose, both hands, both knees and both feet).
The name of ALLAH, which is one of the attributes of Almighty, is mentioned in the Hindus’ Religious Scriptures:
1. Rig-Veda Book-2 Hymn-1 Verse-11: One of the attributes of God is given as “ILA” or “ILAH” means ALLAH.
2. Rig-Veda Book-3 Hymn-30 Verse-10: ALLAH.
3. Rig-Veda Book-9 Hymn-67 Verse-30: ALLAH.
NOTE: - If you check the Sanskrit Dictionary/Hindu Dictionary then you will find ALLAH as one of the attributes of GOD or is the name of GOD.
BOOKS IN HINDUISM:
The sacred scriptures of Hinduism can be categorized into 2 types.
1. SHRUTI: It means that which is perceived, heard, understood, revealed and it is considered to be the word of GOD and they are of Divine Origin. And Shruti is of 2 types which are The VEDAS and The UPANISHADS.
2. SMRITI: It means that which is remembered and the Smritis are less sacred as compared to the Shrutis. It is not considered to be the word of GOD or of the Divine Origin. They are written by Human beings and Smritis mainly contain the rules and regulations of how a human being should lead his life and are called as Dharma-Shastra. Among the Smritis, we have the ITIHAAS, which include the 2 great EPIC which are The RAMAYANA (which deals with the story of Shri Ram) and The MAHABHARATA (which deals with the story of a feud/quarrel between the cousins who are The PANDAVAS and The QAURAVAS and also deals with the story of Shri KRISHNA). The most popular is the BHAGAVAD GITA, which is the part of The MAHABHARATA. The Bhagavad Gita contains the 18 chapters of The Mahabharata from The BHEESHM PARV from Chapter- 25 to 42, which is a guidance given by Shri Krishna to Arjun in the battlefield.
In the Bhagavad Gita, Chap-18, Verse-66:- Shri Krishna says to Arjun to submit his will to almighty God. (If you translate it in Arabic, he is telling him to accept ISLAM.) Because Islam means “Peace, acquired by submitting your will to almighty GOD.” However Hinduism/Christianity/Sikhism/Judaism/Buddhism doesn’t mean this.
If GOD is the one and only one, If GOD doesn’t have any superior, if GOD doesn’t beget nor is he begotten and if God doesn’t have any image, sculpture, painting then who are Shri Rama and Shri Krishna. Because as we know that, Shri Krishna was begotten and his parents were VASUDEV and DEVKI, same in the case of Shri Ram who was also begotten and his parents were DASHRATH and KAUSHALYA.
If we analyze, after looking into the life of Shri Ram, then we come to know that he had married Sita. And it is very clear from the concept of GOD, that GOD does not require anyone but we require GOD.
And in the life of Shri Krishna, even he had 16,108 Wives.
There is only one God and Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is the last and the final messenger of Allah.
This fact has been proved from the Hinsu religious scriptures as well...If you study the prophecies of "KALKI AVTAAR" which is also known as THE ANTIM RISHI then you will come to know about Prophet Muhammad(pbuh).
A few of the prophecies are as follows:
1. His father's name will be "VISHNUYAAS" which means "Worshipper of God" and we Muslims know that the father of our Prophet was "Abdullah" which means The Worshipper of God.
2. His mother will be "Sumati" which means "Peaceful" and we Muslims know that our Prophet's mother was "Amina" which means peaceful.
3. He will be born in the city of "SAMBALA" which means "place of security and peace" and we Muslims know that our Prophet was born in MECCA which is also known as DAR-UL-AMAN which means "Place of Security and peace".
4. He will have 4 companions and we Muslims know that our Prophet had 4 companions who are "1.Hazrat Abu Bakr(r.a.).2. Hazrat Ali (r.a.). 3. Hazrat Umar (r.a.). 4. Hazrat Usman (r.a.).".
5. He will be given a white steed horse and will be given a sword in his right hand to fight against falsehood and we Muslims know that our prophet had a white steed horse and always had a sword in the right hand at the time of war in the battlefield.
And there are many more prophecies of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) in the Hindus religious scriptures, he is also prophecized in the Vedas as Narashangsa which means Praiseworthy.
He is prophecized in The Bible:
THE PROPHECY IN DEUTERONOMY When Moses went to Mount Horeb under the command of God, he addressed the Israelites saying: The Lord thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken (Deuteronomy 18:15). God spoke to Moses saying: I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him. But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die (Deuteronomy 18:18-20). From these passages it is evident that Moses prophesied about a Law-giving Prophet who was to appear after him, and who was to be from among the brethren of Israel. That he was to be a Law-giver, and not an ordinary Prophet is obvious from the words “like unto” Moses. As Moses was a Law-giver, the Prophet, who was to be like Moses, was also to be a Law-giver. The Promised Prophet is described as one who “shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.” From this also it appears that the Promised Prophet was to be a Law-giving Prophet. The promulgation of a new Law means the initiation of a new movement, a new nation. A Prophet who promulgates a new Law, therefore, is no ordinary Teacher or Reformer. He has to present a comprehensive teaching, incorporating fundamental principles as well as detailed rules. Without it a new nation cannot be raised. But a Prophet who does not bring a new Law has only to explain and to annotate an already existing Law. It is not necessary for him to present all that he receives from God to his people. It is possible that some of his revelations may be meant only for his personal edification, which he is under no obligation to pass on to his people. The prophecy also lays down that the Promised Prophet will “speak in my name”, and those who will not listen to him, God will “require it” of them; that is, those who turn a deaf ear will incur punishment. We are 12 also told that any one who pretends to fulfil the prophecy will be put to death. If we keep in view all the terms of the prophecy, we are bound to conclude that until at least the time of Jesus no Prophet had appeared in the world who could be said to have answered to the description of the Promised Prophet. All the Prophets who appeared between Moses and Jesus, therefore, may be ignored, when we set out in search of the Prophet who could be said to have fulfilled this prophecy. They have left no following and no people who could espouse their claims. Only Jesus remains who has a large following, and who is regarded by his followers as the last Teacher sent by God into this world. But when we apply, one by one, the terms of the prophecy to Jesus, we find that not one of them applies to him: First, Secondly, brethren, which means they were to constitute a race or a people from
among whom the Promised Prophet was to rise. Jesus stands alone, as son of God. If there were other sons of God, he might have answered to the description of the prophecy. But, apart from this, it is clearly laid down in the Bible that Christ was to be of the seed of David (Psalms, 13 132:11; Jeremiah, 23:5). Jesus may shed his Israelite origin because he had no earthly father: but he will not then remain a son of David, so that the prophecy of the Psalms relating to Christ will not apply to him. Thirdly, Fourthly, Fifthly, Sixthly, (i) (ii) 14 Verily We have sent to you a Messenger, who is a witness over you, even as We sent a Messenger to Pharaoh. The Quran definitely likens the Holy Prophet to Moses. (iii) (iv) (v) 15 That is to say, “Through the revelation of the Quran, faith has been made perfect and the gift of guidance made complete for you, and peace and tranquillity have been appointed for you as your religion.” It was the Holy Prophet of Islam, therefore, who taught everything and kept back nothing. In the time of Jesus, people were not ready to receive and to believe in everything that was worth while. But in the time of the Holy Prophet of Islam man had traversed all the stages of spiritual evolution and the time had come for all the truths to be revealed to the world. (vi) (vii) 16 way he did? And, were his enemies, who thirsted for his blood, bound to fail in the way they did? No, neither the Holy Prophet’s success nor the failure of his enemies was an accident. On the other hand, it seems that the Quran had in view the terms of the prophecy in Deuteronomy when it declared before all Arabia and early in the career of the Holy Prophet: And Allah will protect thee from men (5:68). Similarly, addressing the enemies of the Prophet, the Quran declared: He is the Knower of the unseen; and He reveals not His secrets to any one, except him whom He chooses, namely a Messenger of His. And then He causes an escort of guarding angels to go before him and behind him (72:27-28). That is to say, the Prophet, having been charged with an important mission, would not be left unprotected. Enemies would never be able to kill him. These verses proved that the success which the Holy Prophet attained was not an accident of good fortune. He declared early, through revelations received by him from God and recorded to this day in the Quran, that God would protect him from the murderous attacks of his enemies. He warned the world that because he was not a pretender but the Prophet promised in the prophecy in Deuteronomy, he would not be killed. In short, one thousand nine hundred years before the advent of the Prophet of Islam, Moses declared that his own Law was, in the divine scheme, not the last Law; that the world was to have a fuller Law later on; and that, for this, God would send in the Latter Days another Messenger of His. This Messenger was to teach all truths; it was he who was to mark the last stage in the spiritual advance of man. The world had to wait for another book and another Prophet. If, therefore, the Quran and the Holy Prophet have come after the Bible and after the Prophets Moses and Jesus, and if they claim to have come from God as guidance to man, their claim must be treated as just and true. It must be taken as the fulfilment of ancient prophecies. The revelation of the Quran was not a gratuitous revelation, a redundance in the presence of those revelations. Indeed, if the Qur’an had not been revealed, promises made by God through His Messengers would have gone unfulfilled, and the world would have become afflicted with doubt and disbelief. But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die (Deuteronomy 18:20). In this verse the world was taught how to distinguish the Promised One of the prophecy from those who should only pretend to fulfil the prophecy. It was necessary that a clear criterion should be laid down. The Promised One had to be charged with the important mission of initiating the last stage in the spiritual advance of man. If pretenders to this office should arise, the world would run great risks. To ward off these risks, God laid down the criterion that a pretender would incur divine punishment and meet with death and defeat. The Holy Prophet of Islam laid claim to this office very early in his career, and in the clearest terms. When he announced his claim, he was friendless and weak. The enemy was large in numbers and was strong, and he left no stone unturned to bring to nought his message and his mission and spared no pains to put an end to his life. Mighty rulers also set themselves against him but it was they, not the Prophet who suffered discomfiture and disgrace. The Holy Prophet died full of success. When he died, the whole of Arabia had declared faith in him; and after his death his first Successors in a few years spread Islam throughout the whole of the then known world. Moses was a true Prophet. The prophecy in Deuteronomy was a revelation from God. But was the Holy Prophet bound to succeed in the name”. This part of the prophecy also was fulfilled in the Holy Prophet of Islam. He is the only one who spoke in the name of God, because every Chapter of the revealed Book brought by him begins with the words: “In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful.” This great sign, duly incorporated in the Quran, also proves that the last stride in the spiritual advance of humanity, foretold by Moses, was registered with the advent of the Holy Prophet of Islam. was commanded. We have quoted the Gospels to prove that Jesus did not pass on everything he received from God, and that there was to be another after him, who was to do so. The Holy Prophet of Islam fully answers to this description. We have in the Quran (5:68): “O Messenger! convey to the people what has been revealed to thee from thy Lord.” The verse seems to say, “O Prophet, there is an ancient prophecy about you which said that when you come into the world you would give to it all the truths you received from your God. Therefore preach to the world whatever is revealed to you, whether it likes it or not.” Similarly, the verse revealed on the completion of the revelation of the Quran says: This day have I perfected your religion for you and completed My favour upon you and have chosen for you Islam as religion (5:4). Gospels do not contain any such words. On the contrary, the Holy Prophet of Islam brought to the world the Quran which is from beginning to end only the word of God, which God put into his mouth. The Quran describes itself as the word of God (2:76). Holy Prophet claimed to be a Prophet only. Jesus, we are told, on the other hand, did not claim to be a Prophet. We read in Mark (8:27-30): He asked his disciples, saying unto them, Whom do men say that I am? and they answered, John the Baptist: but some say, Elias; and others, One of the prophets. And he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I Am? And Peter answereth and saith unto him. Thou art the Christ. And he charged them that they should tell no man of him. That is to say, Jesus denies being either John the Baptist, or Elias, or one of the Prophets. But the prophecy in Deuteronomy speaks of the Promised One as a Prophet like Moses. The prophecy, therefore, applies to the Prophet of Islam and not to Jesus. Moses. We have in the Quran (73:16): descendants of Ishmael were the brethren of the descendants of Isaac, the Israelites. shall command.” The Promised Prophet, according to this, was to give to the world a complete and comprehensive teaching. But Jesus claimed no such mission for himself. He regarded himself as the forerunner of a greater Teacher yet to come. Thus we have (John, 16:12-13): I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. From these verses it appears that the prophecy in Deuteronomy was not fulfilled in Jesus. We cannot but conclude, therefore, that both the Old and the New Testaments foretold the coming of a Prophet after Jesus who was to guide the world “unto all truth”, and who was to establish the name of God on earth for all time. Our claim is that the revelation of the Quran and the advent of the Holy Prophet mark the fulfilment of the prophecy in Deuteronomy. The following facts bear this out: name.” Strange as it may seem, there is in the Gospels not a single example of words which Jesus maybe said to have received from God with the command to pass them on to the people whom he taught. view is that Jesus was not a Prophet, but the son of God. How, then, can Jesus answer to the description of the prophecy? the Gospels do not consist of words which God put in Jesus’ mouth. They only tell us the story of Jesus and what he said in some of his public addresses and what his disciples said or did on different occasions. Israel but from among their brethren and Jesus was an Israelite. Christian exponents, confronted with this fact, are wont to say that Jesus had no earthly father, so he can be said to be one of the brethren of Israel. But such a construction would be untenable. The prophecy speaks of Jesus a Law-giver? Did he bring a new Law into the world to replace an old one? Jesus said clearly: Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled (Matthew 5:17-18). The followers of Jesus went so far as to declare: And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them. Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, ... (Galatians, 3:12-13). Jesus laid no claim to giving a new Law, and his disciples regard the Law as a curse. How then can Jesus and his followers be said to fulfil the prophecy in Deuteronomy?

So my dear brothers and sisters, if you want to know the truth then read out the Scriptures of the book, only then you'll understand the religion and the true concept of God as well. But the very important thing is that you will have to be patient. Don't look at the Muslims to judge Islam coz there are many Muslims who are not aware of the Quran and their religion coz they misinterpret the religion.
JIHAD means to strive and to struggle which we call as "Parishram" in Hindi. So if you want to judge someone then first analyze that is a person is doing Jihad, then in which field is he doing. Islam doesn't preach killing of innocent people and at the same time gives you the permission to fight against harrassment. If any muslim person does anything against it, He is not a muslim, because a person cannot become a Good Muslim unless he is a Good Human Being. So my dear Non-Muslim brothers and sisters in humanity, don't misunderstand anything and do not just judge anything after listening or noticing anything infact go to the depth and analyze the reason and then you will find the truth. thanks for reading. Hope you felt good.
