UMuhammad-umsunguli wobuSilamsi
U-Muhammad ukholelwa ngamaSilamsi ukuba abe ngowokugqibela kunye nabakhulu kubaprofeti. Kucingelwa ukuba wazise isityhilelo esipheleleyo nesokugqibela sikaThixo emntwini. Ukutyhilwa kwakhe kuthathwa njengokuxhasa zonke ezinye izityhilelo kunye neenkolo. AmaSilamsi afundisa ukuba umprofeti kufuneka angabi nasono, okanye angabinasono. Umyalezo kaMuhammad uthathelwa ingqalelo ukuba ugcinwe ngaphandle kwempazamo. U-Muhammad ngokwakhe wabanga ukuba wamoyisa u-Abraham, uMoses, no-Yesu njengoMprofeti kaThixo.
AmaSilamsi akholelwa ekubeni zombini iiTestamente eziDala nezintsha ziqukethe iziprofetho malunga noMuhammad. Bakholelwa ukuba imeko yobizo lwayo lokuba ngumprofeti yayingummangaliso. Bayigqala iQuran njengongenakulingana nolwimi kunye nemfundiso. AmaSilamsi akholelwa ekubeni uMuhammad wenza imimangaliso, nokuba ubomi bakhe kunye neempawu zakhe zingqina ukuba wayengowokugqibela kwaye ebalaseleyo kubo bonke abaprofeti.
KwiDuteronomi 18: 15-18, uThixo wathembisa uMoses ukuba uza kumvelisela umprofeti uSirayeli phakathi kwabantakwabo. Ngokucacileyo lo Mprofeti wayethenjisiwe yayiza kuba ngumSirayeli. U-Muhammad wehla ku-Ishmael, hayi kuIsake. U-Thixo wathi uzawusungula isivumelwano sakhe noIsake (Gen. 17:21). UYesu ngulo mprofeti uThixo waxelela uMoses ngaye kwiDuteronomi. NjengoNyana kaThixo, uYesu wayengumProfeti, uMbingeleli (Amahebhere 7: 10), noKumkani (ISityhi. 19-20).
Ngokokuvuma kukaMuhammad, akazange enze imiqondiso nemimangaliso njengoMoses noYesu (ISura 2: 118; 3: 183) UMuhammad akazange athi ufuna ukuthetha noThixo ubuso ngobuso, kodwa wathi wafumana izityhilelo ngengelosi. UYesu wayengumlamleli ngqo noThixo. Amanye amaSilamsi athi uMuhammad waxelwa kwangaphambili kwiNdumiso 45: 3-5 njengalowo wayeya kuza nekrele ezoyisa iintshaba zakhe, kodwa ezi ndinyana zazibhekisa kuThixo, kwaye uMuhammad akazange athi u-Thixo, kodwa nguYesu. UYesu weza emhlabeni okokuqala ukuba anikele ngobomi bakhe ukuze ahlawulele umntu, kodwa uza okwesibini njengoMgwebi.
Abaphengululi abangamaSilamsi babona ukubhekisa kukaYesu kuMncedisi ozayo njengokuxelwa kukaMuhammad. Nangona kunjalo, uYesu wachaza ngokucacileyo uMncedi njengoMoya oyiNgcwele, hayi njengoMuhammad. Ngelixesha lakhe lokuba ngumprofeti, uMuhammad wathi 'wakrwitshwa' yingelosi ehambisa umyalezo kuye… 'Wandikrwitsha ngelaphu ndade ndakholelwa ukuba ndizakufa. Emva koko wandikhulula wathi: 'Cengceleza.' U-Muhammad waqala wakholwa ukuba wayekhohliswa ngumoya ombi. Wayesoyika ingelosi de umfazi wakhe kunye nomzala wakhe bamkhuthaza ukuba akholelwe ukuba wayefana noMoses kwaye uya kuba ngumprofeti kwisizwe sakhe. Ngexesha lokwamkelwa kwezi zityhilelo, uMuhammad wayenokuxhuzula okanye ukuxhuzula.
U-Muhammad wafumana izityhilelo malunga nokuthandaza kwizithixo, kodwa kamva wazitshintsha ezi zityhilelo. Abantu abaninzi bakholelwa ukuba izityhilelo zakhe zenziwe ngokwenyani ezivela kwimithombo eyahlukeneyo yamaJuda, yamaKristu, kunye neyabahedeni. Nangona kukho amabali amaninzi e-Muhammad e-Islam, itekisi ye-Quran 6: 35 ayitsho ukuba u-Muhammad angenza imimangaliso. Ithi, 'Ukuba ukutshiza kwabo kunzima engqondweni yakho, kodwa ukuba uyakwazi ukukhangela itonela emhlabeni okanye ileli esibhakabhakeni ubazisele umqondiso, - (yintoni elungileyo?). Isicatshulwa asitsho ukuba 'uyakwazi,' kodwa 'ukuba uyakwazi.'
Nangona uMuhammad wayesithi ufumana isityhilelo sokuba indoda inokuba nabafazi abaninzi, kodwa yena wayenabanye abaninzi. U-Muhammad wakuqinisekisa ukubetha komkhonzazana ukuba amxelele inyani. Watsho ukuba kulungile kuThixo (uAllah) ukuba amadoda abethe abafazi bawo. Ukutyhilelwa kwakhe kwakhona kwakubandakanya imfuno yokuba abafazi banxibe isigqubuthelo, beme emva kwamadoda abo, kwaye baguqe emva kwabo ngomthandazo. Umthetho wamaSilamsi awumvumeli umfazi ukuba afune uqhawulo-mtshato, kodwa uvumela indoda ukuba yenze njalo. Ngokuphathelele kwimvumelwano yaseburhulumenteni, ubungqina bamabhinqa amabini bulingana nobungqina bendoda enye.
UMuhammad wagweba ukubulala eJihad, okanye imfazwe engcwele. U-Muhammad wavuma ukuba kuqhutyekwe nokuhlanjwa kweenqanawa zokurhweba. Watsho nokuthi kulungile ukuxoka kwiintshaba zakho. Wavuma ukuqiqa ngabantu ababemgculela okanye bemgxeka. Uninzi lwamaSilamsi bakholelwa ukuba uMuhammad wayenempawu zokuziphatha ezilungileyo nangona kunjalo, kukho ubungqina obucacileyo bokuba oku akuyonyaniso. (I-Geisler kunye ne-Saleeb 146-176)
