Re: Mohammed the man vs Mohammed the prophet.
Is Mohammed's personal life a guide for all Muslims to follow. Or is the Quran the only guide to be strictly followed.
Mohammedans seem to be the ones who worship the prophet mohammed, and try to follow & copy his life. Whereas the followers of Islam only rely on the Quran.
Do you agree with these views, if not why not?
I think AQ answered the question right from the Quran itself. Though just to add more, your question is flawed because it assumes Muhammad SAW personal conduct was different from the Quranic ethics and requirements.
No one worships Muhammad SAW is another wrong assumption. Please do not attribute things which are not true. Islam has no place for worship of anything else other than One God i.e. Allah SWT.
Muhammad SAW was a walkng, talking and living Quran, So if anyone copies him, he is still following the Quran. And yes, it does not mean we start living in 7th century Arabia either.
Please first learn about Islam before you start a conversation about it as if you know what you are saying. If you are here for academic curiosity then ask questions about whether what is right or what is wrong. Please do not make statements which make it look like what you are saying is a fact.
So I do not agree with the question to begin with. Please get the question correct first?
