[edit] Congrats

Congrats to Aminz for putting in the hard work getting this article started and to Zora for the idea. —Aiden 04:51, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks Aiden, :) --Aminz 06:40, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lack of Content

Why is this page so short? This doesn't even contain a discourse of Ali's views of Muhammad! --IHusain 16:00, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

It's a new article. Please add the sourced content you speak of. —Aiden 20:16, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merge

There is no reason to have an article named Islamic view of Muhammad and another named Islamic views of Muhammad. No objection has been raised on talk, so I will be merging. --BostonMA ^talk 14:33, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Well, was the merge done properly? Is all the information preserved? --Striver 09:35, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

All the information is preserved. However, I'm not sure if that means that I performed the merge properly. --BostonMA ^talk 12:02, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

That was my question. Thanks. Can we rename the article to "view", it sounds better. Im going forth and mirroring the merge in the Muhammad template. --Striver 13:42, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Comment by Shahnawaz Ali

I am no sufi, I am a lay man with only the basic knowledge of Islam. It is my belief that Muhammad(pbuh) was a man and has passed away. The proof that i present is a quote from none other than Abu Bakr(may Allah be pleased with him) after the Prophet(pbuh) had passed away he addressed the grieving Muslims by saying that those who worship Muhammad should know that Muhammad is dead, but tell those who worship Allah that Allah shall never die.

I removed this from the article - please see WP:NOT#OR for an explanation. Can you find a citation for this? --87.112.78.48 23:53, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Visual Representation

Muhammad is never depicted visually by any Muslim. Because this considered as un-islamic action. <<Smart_Viral 16:51, 25 August 2007 (UTC)>>

Depictions of Muhammad proves otherwise. TharkunColl 16:54, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

this action is non-islamic in other words no Muslim can do under the rules of islam => not considered to be Muslim.what is ur definition of Muslim someone who follow Muhammad or someone he said "i'am muslim"! <<Smart_Viral 17:04, 25 August 2007 (UTC)>>

It is not up to you, or Wikipedia, to decide who is and isn't a "true" Muslim. TharkunColl 17:12, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

yes its called "Islamic views of Muhammad" not u. Its a fact that Islam forbid this. Return to Depictions of Muhammad. <<Smart_Viral 17:22, 25 August 2007 (UTC)>>

It is a fact that some Muslims throughout history have depicted Muhammad. The article Depictions of Muhammad proves it. What you're trying to do is impose religious dogma on Wikipedia, which is unacceptable. TharkunColl 17:25, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

anyway not "quite often". <<Smart_Viral 18:05, 25 August 2007 (UTC)>>

Depiction ofLiving things in any form is forbidden in Islam and it is rystal Clear .What ever one ortwo muslims do we don't subsribe them.Shabiha 19:01, 17 October 2007 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shabiha (talk • contribs)
