So in a way would you compare the prophets to our saints? Also do you pray to Muhammad (sp)?
My Dear Brother, in no way can prophets be compared to saints, prophets are the messengers of God, who may or may not be given scriptures (but mostly are given). It is God who decides whom He choses, and one more thing the mission of all the prophets is the same, to call to worship one God and join no partners with him. No we don't pray to Muhammed, Muhammed was the Last Messenger of God and his slave, He had adviced us :"Don't praise me so much that you take me as God, like the Christians have taken Jesus son of Mary as God".....In Islam all Praises are for God alone, we ask Him directly and we Believe that He is nearer to us than anyone else,....this is from our scriptures "We are nearer to you than your Jagular vein" and Muhammed has advice us..."When you ask, ask Allah". You are welcome brother to clear as many doubts as you have about Islam. Remember we Love Jesus and out of Love we call him God's Messenger, and Christians too Love Jesus and out of Love call his God, But who is he in the sight of God is more important
