Dear Carmen,

Thank you for your kindness to me. Perhaps both of us are good believers in our own religions.

Have you asked those questions after reading about the biography of our messenger? It doesn't seem so.He was known by his people as al-amin (the trustworthy one) before being a prophet. It is difficult to claim that he committed those crimes you cited.

Prophet Muhammad (saas) was unable to read and write. How could he read the Bible and steal essential parts? All religious books are public. You can read and write. Can you create a new religion by taking and combining some parts of the other religions as you claim that Prophet Muhammad (saas) did so? Extremely difficult unless Allah is chosen another messanger. Until now, no other messanger came. that's why we Muslims believe that he is the last messenger.

All we Muslims pray by reading the following surah every day.

Quran Surah 109. The Disbelievers, Atheists
1. Say : O you that reject Faith!
2. I worship not that which you worship,
3. Nor will you worship that which I worship.
4. And I will not worship that which you have been wont to worship,
5. Nor will you worship that which I worship.
6. To you be your Way, and to me mine.

Best Regards
Nuray kayakol
