What Should Christians and Jews Know About the Qur'an and Muhammad

Some Christians and Jews believe that Muhammad wrote the Qur’an and do not

know that he was illiterate and could not read or write. Others have not read

the Qur’an and do not know its contents or message. This book is an attempt

to clear misconceptions and answer questions such as who wrote the Qur’an,

and how was it preserved, and if it is divine in origin, what is the evidence for its

authenticity?

The book illustrates the message of the Qur’an and discusses such concepts

as the Oneness of God, and our accountability to Him. It also explores God’s

prophets and God’s divine revelations, as well as rituals of worship, morals and

ethics, family values and our interaction as human beings with one another.

There are similarities between the Qur’an and the New Testament regarding

morals and ethics, and our accountability to God, yet there are differences

regarding the divinity of Jesus Christ and the concept of the Trinity and salvation.

The Qur’an acknowledges God’s blessings on the Children of Israel and relates

to us the story of Abraham and Moses. We are close to God and favored by Him

because of what we do, not because of our ancestry.

Islam is based on the Qur’an and the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

Few Christians or Jews know his life story, his noble character or the message that

he preached. This book describes the lessons that we learn from Muhammad,

and clears misconceptions about him.
