    Just a few more points in relation to the misconception of the messenger being an orphan.

    These stories all rely upon the "sira" of a so called "Ibn Ishaq" who has been discredited by two other alleged scholars "Malik" and "Hanbal". In this 'sira' a monk finds the boy "Muhammad"...

    The answers Muhammad gave Buhairah convinced him ninety-nine percent that the young boy, in whose company he was, was none other than the one prophesied in the scriptures to become the last Prophet of Allah. However, one thing bothered him, Abu Talib had referred to Muhammad as being his son, and the scriptures stated quite clearly that the last prophet would be an orphan, so he inquired about Muhammad's parents and was told that indeed Muhammad was an orphan, and that Abu Talib was not his real father, rather, he was his paternal uncle. Now, Buhairah knew for certain that his dearest wish had been fulfilled and that he had been blessed to live long enough to meet the boy destined to be the last Prophet of Allah.

    from http//www.islamic-paths.org/Home/English/Muhammad/Book/Millennium_Biography/Chapter_011.htm

    There are therefore agendas underlying this. Yet I don't personally know of any prophecies of a "last prophet" in any "scriptures". Nevertheless, the reason that "Muhammad" is made an orphan is due to the requirements of this "sira" which is nothing more than the fabricated history of someone hundreds of years after the events. "Ibn Ishaq" is said to have lived about 100 years after the events he wrote about.

    Much of the stories of "Muhammad's" early life are devotional glorifications of a human being and are entirely fabricated. The later stories contain many controversial events which again cannot be substantiated at all.

    I found an interesting post which you may wish to peruse in relation to siras and their role in misguiding people http//forums.muslimvillage.net/index.php?showtopic=12725&mode=threaded&pid=170772

      Haha nice try

      I'm asking , If someone whom his mother and father died is an orohan or not?

      If you examine your words above, you'll see that your statement is not about "someone" or 'anyone'. It's straight from the alleged siras of the messenger. You're swallowing the story and regurgitating it with plenty of doubtfulness and uncertainty.

      WRONG AGAIN

      it is from the Quran Oben

      Your uncertainty is well founded and the doubt is proper, because these alleged stories are fabrications based upon misunderstandings of the reading.

      Ahmed is laughing again and saying

      who are you to tell the arabs that they understand arabic wrong?

      Here's another story for you by modern bearded 'scholars'...

      THE PROPHECY IS FULFILLED
      On Monday, 12th of Rabi-al-Awwal -- 570 years after Jesus ascended into heaven to await his return before the end of the world -- Lady Amina gave birth to her blessed son in the house of Abu Talib. Ash-Shaffa, the mother of Abd Al Rahman, attended his birth and as Lady Amina gave birth her blessed baby was delivered prostrating upon his tiny hands and knees, then sneezed and said, "Al Hamdulillah" -- praise be to Allah -- whereupon a voice from the heavens replied, "May Allah have mercy upon you."

      and the point is?

      So the baby was born prostrating and said "Al Hamdulillah" and a voice from heaven replied....

      and the point is?

      These nonsensical stories are fabricated and embellished by misguided so called scholars who seek to magnify an ordinary human being. But they also require misguided intellectually challenged people to accept and swallow the rubbish they create.

      I don't give a fluke about what you just said because I'm basing in on the Qiuran that Allah said Mohammad was an orphan

      that is

      Oo Ar Pe Itch Aa and In

      Enjoy the stories Ahmed.

      Thank you bro

      Best Regards

        From pbs.org

        575 Muhammad Becomes an Orphan

        When Muhammad was five or six his mother took him to Yathrib, an oasis town a few hundred miles north of Mecca, to stay with relatives and visit his father's grave there. On the return journey, Amina took ill and died. She was buried in the village of Abwa on the Mecca-Medina Road. Halima, his nurse, returned to Mecca with the orphaned boy and placed him in the protection of his paternal grandfather, Abdul Al-Muttalib. In this man's care, Muhammad learned the rudiments of statecraft. Mecca was Arabia's most important pilgrimage center and Abdul Al-Muttalib its most respected leader. He controlled important pilgrimage concessions and frequently presided over Mecca's Council of Elders.

          Ahmed, you are proving yourself to be a liar. Did you not write...

          If his father died before he was born as well his mother died when he was 6 years old, therefore, at least Mohammad was an orphan from the age of 6, don't you guys agree?

          therefore the verse about Allah helping Mohammad when he was orphaned may be talking about the period when he was 6 years old up to marrying Khadija i guess

          which I commented on above?

          Show me where in the "Quran" you got the information that his "father died before he was born" and his "mother died when he 6 years old" and was "an orphan from the age of 6"'; also tell us where he married "Khadija".

          Peace.

            You are the confused liar here, I said he was an orphan because of the history reacords AND ALLAH CONFIRMED THAT HISTORY RECORD IN THE QURAN

            that is why I will take the hisory records AS TRUE, and that is why you want to manipulate the compelling evidence in the Quran regarding the word Yatim

            now I was blooody asking if some one lost his father would that be an orphan or not

            answer the damn question before you accuse me of being lieing

            you are the confused one here who abused Dhul Qarnin when he sugggested Pork is halal, and you are coming doing the same exact stupid thing by promoting lies, non sense and crap

            one of your blunders is making alcohol allowed, exactly as Dhul Qarnin did, who you want fool?

            certainly not me and I will always keep an eye on the non sense you post

            please answer that question that you ran from it

            how many letters the the root of the word Ankaboot have?

            4 or 5

            and state them please

                          ok, can I use it if not directed on a specific member?

                          anyway I guess I can replace stupid with silly

                          how about Ignorant?

                          what can I replace it with mate?

                          how about if you give me a metaphor to use that will incline an ignornat comment, i guess using metaphors should be ok with you?

                          peace

                            I am sorry you struggle with figuring out how to conduct yourself. As I said, the warning has been given. I have nothing further to say on the issue.

                                  Peace be upon you Ahmed,

                                  warning to whom exactly?

                                  Warning to the one who cannot accept the reminder that was given. Truth has not responded at all to my statement and has addressed you righteously with a statement of PEACE.

                                  to me alone or to both?

                                  The reminder was to both of you, as can be easily witnessed, however since you seem to be the one who does submit to the correct path, you are being warned.

                                  you were not clear

                                  I hope it is clear now.

                                  I guess you are absuing your power

                                  a guess is no substitute for the truth

                                  look mate, I said nothing wrong, he is the one that attacked me first

                                  Ahmed, do you see that Truth has no complaint about the reminder, it is only you? Why is that?

                                  what on earth are you saying eaxctly?

                                  Please review the last few posts.

                                  i guess it is personal to you, hey

                                  I fail to see how you calculate when none of the statements were directed towards me. It is my responsibility to help maintain order on this forum.

                                        Peace be upon you Ahmed,

                                        These are the Rules

                                        1] The Administrator and Moderator has the final say on all interpretation and implementation of forum rules and guidelines. Any questions about these decisions should be inquired to any of the moderators through a private message (PM) for clarification.

                                        2] Respect other users of the forum. Language and/or material of vulgarity, obscenity, harassment, profanity or insulting nature, whether it is direct or suggested, will NOT be tolerated. Any messages containing such language or material will be moved to the trash section or deleted, without notice and may result in disciplinary action being taken against the offending member.

                                        3] Please observe rule #2 while choosing a subject line for your topic. If it is rude, obscene, provocative or in violation of rule #2, then the entire topic may be edited OR deleted and may result in disciplinary action.

                                        4] Please observe rule #2 while choosing a username. IF the username is rude, obscene, provocative or in violation of rule #2, the username will be deleted and banned.

                                        5] No spam. This means no advertising or promoting of websites unless replying to a post where it is relevant to do so. This also means making a new post to reply to a different individual. Messages containing any spam will be deleted OR edited WITHOUT notice.

                                        6] When posting a reply to a thread, stay on topic. On occasions this may be allowed, but if there is an ongoing debate or discussion in a thread, then any post which deviates from the topic will be removed WITHOUT notice in the interest of the debate.

                                        7] No repeat posting or duplicating topics on the forum will be tolerated. Repeat postings will be locked and/or removed and/or deleted. Post your topic in the proper category. Posts which are in the wrong category will be moved to the proper category WITHOUT notice. Repeated breach of this rule may result in disciplinary action.

                                        8] While choosing an avatar or a signature, please observe rule #2. Violating avatars or signatures will be removed WITHOUT notice. Repeated breach of this rule will result in disciplinary action.

                                        9] Do not use uppercase or large font for the entire message. Only to point or emphasis a point. Whole posts in uppercase OR large font will be edited WITHOUT notice.

                                        10] Multiple usernames will not be allowed. However, if the reason is genuine, then an explanation will be required. If the explanation is accepted, then the other account can be either disabled AND/OR deleted.
