In the Qur’án we read that Muhammad spoke to his followers,
saying:
‘Why do you not believe in Christ, and in the Gospel? Why
will you not accept Moses and the Prophets, for surely the Bible is the Book of
God? In truth, Moses was a sublime Prophet, and Jesus was filled with the Holy
Spirit. He came to the world through the Power of God, born of the Holy Spirit
and of the blessed Virgin Mary. Mary, His mother, was a saint from Heaven. She
passed her days in the Temple at prayer and food was sent to her from above.
Her father, Zacharias, came to her and asked her from whence the food came, and
Mary made answer, “From on high.” Surely God made Mary to be exalted above all
other women.’
This is what Muhammad taught His people concerning Jesus and
Moses, and He reproached them for their lack of faith in these great Teachers,
and taught them the lessons of truth and tolerance. Muhammad was sent from God
to work among a people as savage and uncivilized as the wild beasts. They were
quite devoid of understanding, nor had they any feelings of love, sympathy and
pity. Women were so degraded and despised that a man could bury his daughter
alive, and he had as many wives to be his slaves as he chose.
