In
this short publication (The Concept of Prophethood in Islam and
Hinduism) we are going to compare the concept of Avatar or incarnation
of God on earth according to the Hindu philosophy with the concept of
prophethood or messengership in the Islamic belief system. We will also
explain why Muslims do not believe in incarnation as interpreted by
Hindu scholars and philosophers.
Prophethood or messengership in Islam is a special relationship
between the seen and unseen worlds, the earth and the sky, the human
being and the divine world, between the Creator and the creation. The
concept of messengership in Islam is originally based on selection and
choice of Allah. A prophet in Islam is a mediator between common
people and Allah who receives a divine message and conveys it to people.
According to Islam, prophets and messengers are human beings in many
natural features but at the same time they were characterized by many
distinct features and special qualities that may not exist in many
people; rather, those good qualities could not be found together in any
person.
