‘روح حق’ که عیسی (ص) در انجیل وعده داده بود کی بود

درست قبل از دستگیری و محکومیت او، پیامبر عیسی مسیح (ص) یک گفتمان طولانی را با شاگردان خود برگزار کرد. جان، یکی از شاگردان، در این گفتمان حضور داشت – او این را در انجیل خود ثبت میکند. عیسی (ص) به شاگردان خود وعده داد که “روح حقیقت” بعد از رفتن او خواهد آمد. پرسش بطور طبیعی بوجود میاید – این ‘روح حقیقت’ کی است یا بود؟

جنجال توسط احمد دیدات افزایش یافت

این امر سبب ایجاد جنجال شده است زیرا بعضی از عذرخواهان مشهور، مانند احمد دیدات، گفته اند که این کسی نیست جز حضرت محمد (ص). من، مانند بسیاری از شما، این را از او و از دیگران که از او متاثر شده اند شنیده ام. من فکر میکنم همه ما باید در مورد این پرسش به نتایج خود برسیم. اما، ما باید این کار را از یک دید آگاهانه انجام دهیم، نه فقط بخاطریکه یک امام مشهور یا دیدات این را تدریس میکند.

ما باید مطالعه کنیم که چگونه عیسی (ص) این ‘روح حقیقت’ را در این گفتمان که توسط جان ثبت شده است تشریح کرد. این یگانه معلومات است که تمام مردم بشمول دیدات دارند. گفتمان اینجا برای خواندن شما موجود است، و این ارزش دارد که انجام دهید تا شما متن را کاملاً درک کنید. من نکات برجسته گفتمان را که مستقیماً با روح حقیقت سروکار دارد، خواهم گرفت. چگونه عیسی (ص) این ‘روح حقیقت’ آینده را تشریح میکند؟

آموزش عیسی (ص) در مورد روح حقیقت

I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever—the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you. I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. (John 14:16-19)

عیسی مسیح (ص) روح حقیقت را اینگونه توصیف میکند:

  • یک ‘مدافع’. کلمه یونانی اینجا παράκλητον (پاراکلتون) است که از ‘پارا’ (نزدیک-در کنار) و ‘کالیو’ (برای انجام یک تماس یا قضاوت) آمده است. کلمات مشابه عبارتند از 
    تسلی دهنده یا مشاور؛
  • جهان نمیتواند او را ببیند یا او را بشناسد؛ و
  • او در شاگردان زندگی خواهد کرد.

این مانند یک مرد با بدن فزیکی به نظر نمیرسد بخاطریکه هر کس میتواند یک بدن فزیکی را ببیند. در دست دیگر، این روح حقیقت دیده شده نمیتوانست . همچنان، این برای یک پیامبر انسانی با یک بدن فزیکی ناممکن به نظر میرسد تا در مردم دیگر بشمول شاگردان زندگی کند. اما گفتمان عیسی (ص) را ادامه دهیم.

“All this I have spoken while still with you. But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. (John 14:25-26)

از اینرو این روح حقیقت به شاگردان آموزش خواهد داد و به آنها هر چیزی را که عیسی مسیح (ص) تدریس کرده بود یادآوری خواهد کرد.

“When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father—the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father—he will testify about me. And you also must testify, for you have been with me from the beginning. (John 15:26-27)

مگر من واقعاً به شما میگویم، این برای خیر شما است که من میروم. تا زمانیکه من بروم، وکیل به شما نخواهد آمد؛ مگر اگر من بروم، من او را به شما خواهم فرستاد. زمانیکه او میاید، او به جهان ثابت خواهد کرد که در مورد گناه و صداقت و قضاوت در اشتباه است: در مورد گناه، بخاطریکه مردم به من باور ندارند؛ در مورد عدالت، بخاطریکه من به پدر میروم، جاییکه شما دیگر مرا نمیتوانید ببینید؛ و در مورد قضاوت، بخاطریکه شاهزاده این جهان حالا محکوم شده است.

“I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear. But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. He will glorify me because it is from me that he will receive what he will make known to you. All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will receive from me what he will make known to you.” (John 16:7-15)

اینجا ما میبینیم که روح حقیقت به شاگردان فرستاده خواهد شد و او شاگردان را در تمام حقیقت هدایت خواهد کرد. در حقیقت، حتی به آنها گفتن اینکه چه چیزی “هنوز در آینده است” یا در آینده. شما از نشانه پیامبر تورات به یاد خواهید آورد که این توانایی نشانه ای بود که موسی (ص) داده است تا مردم بدانند که آیا کسی پیامبر واقعی است یا خیر.

آیا دیدات درست است؟ آیا حضرت محمد (ص) این روح موعود حقیقت است؟

با تمام این توضیحات من نمیتوانم ببینم که این در مورد پیامبر محمد (ص) صدق میکند. از همه گذشته، پیامبر محمد (ص) یک بدن فزیکی داشت و از اینرو مردم او را میدیدند – حتی آنهاییکه او را قبول نداشتند (مثلاً قریش یا قریش در مکه). پیامبر محمد (ص) یقیناً در شاگردان عیسی (ص) زندگی نمیکرد، نه هم حضرت محمد (ص) به شاگردان فرستاده شده بود، و نه هم به آنها آموزش داد، یا آنها را راهنمایی کرد. در حقیقت، بخاطریکه پیامبر محمد (ص) 600 سال یا بیشتر بعد از شاگردان عیسی (ص) آمد او هیچ ارتباطی با آنها نداشت. مگر به ‘روح حقیقت’ وعده داده شده بود که تمام این کارها را انجام خواهد داد.

زمانیکه من تمام استدلال های را که دیدات برای متقاعد ساختن ما به اینکه ‘روح حقیقت’ در حقیقت پیامبر محمد (ص) است استفاده میکند را با دقت میخوانم و مطالعه میکنم من میبینم که آنها نیمه حقیقت اند و گفتمان عیسی (ص) را بشکل دقیق نشان نمیدهند. طوریکه من به مطالعه نوشته های او ادامه داده ام، من دریافتم که درحالیکه او غیرت زیادی دارد، او اغلب اوقات از نیمه حقیقت ها یا تحریف ها استفاده میکند. شما ممکن فکر دیگری داشته باشید و این موضوع اصلی این مقاله نیست، اما من او را غیرقابل اعتماد یافته ام.

و یقیناً، در مورد تعیین کردن اینکه روح حقیقت کی است، از این نقاط به من معلوم میشود که این نمیتواند به پیامبر محمد (ص) اشاره کند. غیرت بزرگ مذهبی بر حقایق آشکار غلبه نخواهد کرد.

روح حقیقت کیست؟

مگر پس ‘روح حقیقت’ کی است؟ اگر ما کتاب اعمال را بخوانیم که ادامه انجیل لوقا است و به وقایع اصحاب عیسی (ص) بلافاصله پس از خروج عیسی (ص) می پردازد، بسیار واضح می شود. اینجا ما میخوانیم که عیسی (ص) درست قبل از صعود به بهشت ​​چه کرد و گفت (‘او’ که در مورد اش صحبت شده است عیسی است – ص، و ‘یوحنا’ که ذکر شده است پیامبر یحیی – ص است).

On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about. For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.”

Then they gathered around him and asked him, “Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?”

He said to them: “It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight. (Acts 1:4-9)

اینجا ما میبینیم، درست قبل از خروج او که او دوباره در مورد ‘روح القدس’ آینده صحبت میکند. سپس در فصل بعدی و فقط چند روز پس از رفتن عیسی (ص) به بهشت، می‌خوانیم که («آنها» یاران عیسی پس از رفتن او هستند و پنتکست جشنی است که ۵۰ روز پس از عید فصح رخ داده است – برای توضیحات بیشتر به نشانه موسی مراجعه کنید )

When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.

Now there were staying in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven. When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard their own language being spoken. Utterly amazed, they asked: “Aren’t all these who are speaking Galileans? Then how is it that each of us hears them in our native language? Parthians, Medes and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene; visitors from Rome (both Jews and converts to Judaism); Cretans and Arabs—we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!” Amazed and perplexed, they asked one another, “What does this mean?” (Acts 2:1-12)

پس اینجا میخوانیم که ‘روح خدا’ بالای هر یک از شاگردان آمد و آنها قادر به صحبت کردن معجزه آسا به زبان های دیگر بودند. طوریکه شما اعمال را میخوانید خواهید دید که روح القدس به هدایت و رهبری شاگردان ادامه میدهد.

این توضیح با تمام جزئیات که عیسی (ص) در گفتمان خود برای روح حقیقت تشریح کرده است مطابقت دارد. مگر این مفاهیم بیشتر و شاید پرسش های را برای ما مطرح میکند. بیایید نخست با بعضی از مفاهیم سروکار داشته باشیم.

روح حقیقت و نوشته های شاگردان پیامبر عیسی مسیح (ص)

نخست از همه، این میگوید که یاران عیسی (ص) از این نقطه به بعد توسط روح القدس ‘سکون’ شده بودند. و شما این را در اعمال بعدی آنها و در چیزی که آنها نوشته اند میبینید. مثلا:

The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. (1 Timothy 4:1)

by the power of signs and wonders, through the power of the Spirit of God. So from Jerusalem all the way around to Illyricum, I have fully proclaimed the gospel of Christ. (Romans 15:19)

Then the angel said to me, “Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!” And he added, “These are the true words of God.” At this I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, “Don’t do that! I am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers and sisters who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For it is the Spirit of prophecy who bears testimony to Jesus.” (Revelation 19:9-10)

این عبارات که از نوشته های اصحاب عیسی (ص) در عهد جدید گرفته شده است، اقتدار و وابستگی آنها را به روح حقیقت به وضوح نشان میدهد. در متن نخست بالا، روح به نویسنده در مورد اینکه در آینده چه اتفاق خواهد افتید (ترک جهانی خوب و پیروی از بد) یک پیشگویی میدهد. در دوم، نویسنده روی معجزات که خودش میتوانست انجام دهد، توسط روح، در شاهد خود در مورد انجیل (انجیل) عیسی (یا عیسی – ص) اتکاء میکند. بالاخره در قسمت سوم، نویسنده یک فرشته قدرتمند را در یک رؤیا میبیند و وسوسه میشود تا فرشته را پرستش کند، مگر فرشته به او میگوید که فقط خدا را پرستش کند و بعد میگوید این توسط ‘روح نبوت’ است که رؤیا صورت میگیرد و در مورد عیسی (ص) است.

شاخص ها از عیسی (ص)

این همان شاخص های بود که عیسی (ص) در گفتمان خود در مورد اینکه روح حقیقت چه خواهد کرد ارائه کرد. این روح در شاگردان عیسی ساکن و هدایت خواهد کرد تا آنها پیامبر باشند، و پیام روح به عیسی (ص) اشاره کند.

این یکی از دلایل مهم است که چرا ما باید نوشته شاگردان عیسی (ص) را در عهد جدید بسیار جدی بگیریم. این روح حقیقت نوشته های آنها را الهام بخشید و از اینرو ما باید آنها را به اندازه پیشگویی های موسی در تورات جدی بگیریم. وعده مستقیم که عیسی (ع) در سخنرانی خود داد این بود که این روح به آنها هر چیزی را که من (عیسی – ص) به شما گفته ام یادآوری خواهد کرد. اگر چنین باشد پس باید به نوشته های این صحابه گوش دهیم.

روح حق و همه پیروان انجیل

مفهوم دوم آمدن روح حقیقت این است که او نه تنها یاران عیسی (ص) را الهام بخشید بلکه او در تمام کسانیکه به انجیل اعتماد دارند زندگی میکند. و این زندگی زندگی ما را تغییر خواهد داد. توجه کنید که آیات ذیل در مورد این چه میگویند.

And you also were included in Christ (ie Masih) when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, (Ephesians 1:13)

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. (Galatians 5:22-23)

وعده روح نه تنها برای الهام بخشیدن به اصحاب عیسی (ص) بود، بلکه این بود که تمام پیروان انجیل با همان روح حقیقت مهر و موم شوند. این طوری است که زندگی ما توسط میوه روح طوریکه لیست شده است مشخص گردد، به عوض چیزی که معمولاً زندگی ما را اداره میکند: اختلاف، حسادت، حرص، حسادت، خشم، شهوت و فقدان کنترول. من میتوانم از تجربه شخصی خودم بگویم که روح حقیقت مرا از درون تغییر داد، از اینرو اعمال بیرونی من در نتیجه تغییر درونی من تغییر کرد. واقعاً، این یکی از نعمت های بزرگ انجیل است و یکی از دلایل اینکه این ‘خبر خوب’ است.

روح حقیقت در آغاز

زمانیکه ما به دنبال بینش بیشتر در مورد روح القدس هستیم، ما میبینیم که او از همان آغاز تورات نقش های مهمی را بازی میکند. در آفرینش همه اشیا می خوانیم، در نخستین ابیات تورات که

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. (Genesis 1:1-2)

از اینرو روح حتی در خلقت وجود داشت!

پس این یک پرسش مهم را مطرح میکند. ما چگونه این روح خدا یا روح حقیقت را درک میکنیم؟ این یک راز بزرگ است، اما شاید یک فهم مشترک از قرآن به ما کمک کند. بسیاری قرآن را کلام ابدی خدا از ابدیت گذشته میدانند. این به حضرت محمد (ص) نازل شده بود مگر همیشه وجود داشته است و از اینرو هیچگاه بوجود نیامده است. شاید به یک شیوه مشابه، روح خدا (که ما از تورات بالا میدانیم که در آغاز خلقت وجود داشت) یک ذات ابدی و خلق نشده است که از الله سرچشمه میگیرد. کتاب ها این را به جزئیات توضیح نمیدهد از اینرو این میتواند یکی از این اسرار باشد که ‘خدا فقط آنرا میداند’.

من، و احتمالاً شما همچنان، مردم را میشناسم که برای حفظ کردن قرآن سخت کار کرده اند تا این کلمه بتواند در آنها باشد. اگر روح حقیقت طوریکه در بالا استنباط شده است باشد، و او همچنان میتواند در ما باشد تا ما را تغییر دهد تا زندگی ما میوه نشانی شده توسط کلام خدا را نشان دهد – آیا این یک نعمت بزرگ نخواهد بود؟ یکی که خیلی ارزش دارد؟ ما شاید باید در مورد اهمیت ‘روح حقیقت’ که وعده داده شده است تا در ما بیاید، و اینکه این برای ما چه معنی میتواند داشته باشد، تامل کنیم.

6 thoughts on “‘روح حق’ که عیسی (ص) در انجیل وعده داده بود کی بود”

  1. While I would tend to believe that this is referring to the Holy Spirit, it makes no sense based on the “Christian” descriptions of it. Indeed, the Holy Spirit is supposedly inside them and guides them, but what Jesus is talking about is REVELATION. He says he has a lot of things to tell them but the PEOPLE aren’t ready for it yet. It simply wasn’t the time or place for it.

    As Muslims we believe the Holy Spirit is the Angel of Revelation, Gabriel. See how much sense that makes? Christians generally confuse the Spirit of the Lord with the Holy Spirit. A simple test to prove my point? What is one thing the “Christian” Holy Spirit has revealed in the last 2000 years that Jesus pbuh did not.

    Sorry if i come off as rude

    1. Hi. Thanks for your comment/question. And honestly I did not take you as being rude. You are honestly arguing a point – that is the way we all learn.

      I prefer not to position the discussion with a ‘Muslim’ view or a ‘Christian’ view. This is because there are so many variants of these views that it is really hard to categorize them. And at the end of the day, you and I are concerned with ‘truth’ irregardless of what camp or label is attached to it. To your question, here is a simple quote from one of Paul’s epistles where he ascribes revelation directly to the Spirit apart from Jesus (PBUH) and then from John

      The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. 2 Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. 3 They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and who know the truth. (1 Timothy 4:1-3)

      Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God. (Revelation 2:7)

      This is repeated (“what the Spirit says”…) many times followed by some teaching in this book. So it is not hard to find teachings/sayings not coming from Jesus that come from the Spirit.

      But to your point that the role of the ‘Spirit’ is only revelation (I think we agree that it included revelation but was it that only?). Here are some passages that teach a wider role.

      God also testified to it by signs, wonders and various miracles, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his will. (Hebrews 2:4)

      How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God! (Hebrews 9:14)

      The Holy Spirit also testifies to us about this. First he says:

      “This is the covenant I will make with them
      after that time, says the Lord.
      I will put my laws in their hearts,
      and I will write them on their minds. (Hebrews 10:14-16, quoting Jeremiah of the Zabur)

      For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive in the Spirit. (1 Peter 3:18)

      These passages show that the Spirit is/was involved in (in addition to revelation): giving os spiritual gifts to people – including the gift of doing miracles, cleansing of our conscience, writing the law of God into our hearts (rather than just revealing it), participated in the resurrection of Jesus. So there is ample evidence to show that the role of the Spirit goes beyond revelation.

      Some food for thought.

      1. I’m sometimes eh about the writings of Paul. Indeed, when the Prophet pbuh was asked about who corrupted the Bible he responded by saying there were Kings after the time of Isa pbuh who put their hands to it. Also, from my research, the teachings of Paul sometimes vary greatly from the teachings of Christ. While it is possible the Bible has GENERALLY stayed in tact, there are a lot of sketchy translations in the Bible, and the the teachings of Paul create contradictions

        And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate,[g] to be with you forever.

        But the Advocate,[i] the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything, and remind you of all that I have said to you. 27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you.

        12 “I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear. 13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. 14 He will glorify me because it is from me that he will receive what he will make known to you. 15 All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will receive from me what he will make known to you.”

        There are very clear oddities going on here. He says he will ask the Father to send ANOTHER Spirit, not THE Spirit. Yet he calls this other Spirit as the Holy Spirit? So which is it, since we assume there isn’t more than one Holy Spirit. If the words “Holy Spirit” did not exist in the second quote, these passages describe Muhammad pbuh down to a tee. So whats going on? Jesus says he has to go away for the Spirit to come, but the Holy Spirit was present at his Baptism. Im not saying I have the solution, so I was hoping you could comment on this.

        Also, this Website is great, very unbiased. I would add that while I’ve read the articles pertaining to the Qurans comments on the Gospels, I disagree. The Quran states that it takes priority of the other books. While the Prophet didn’t mind Jews/Christians reading the Bible, he became annoyed when Muslims did it. Also we know of the John 5:7 Trinity line that was fabricated into the Bible, so someone can clearly change it. Regardless, I think you know the biggest problem with the Bible is how badly the world interprets it, not really the content itself. I think this is what the Prophet felt, and because the Quran is just Allah speaking, it is very clear

        Personal question? Do you believe the Prophet Muhammad pbuh is a messenger of God?

        1. Hey, thanks for your thoughtful comments. It makes good dialogue possible. I understand about your reticence of Paul which is why I included quotes from non-Pauline books like Hebrews and Revelation (John is the author of that) and 1 Peter. (I personally do not struggle with Paul but I know that many from Muslim tradition do). Now to understand the John passage that you quote. Actually though you quoted it, you referred to it incorrectly. Jesus says “I will send another Advocate…” You then quoted it with Jesus saying “I will send another Spirit…” (Look carefully and you will see you missed it). When you read it as “another spirit…” as you do then you get the oddities that you describe, wondering how many Spirits there are if there is another one. If you read it (crrectly) as “Another Advocate…” it is quite plain. Jesus is the first advocate and the Spirit is the other. There are two advocates: Jesus and the Spirit, but there is only one Spirit. This plain reading makes sense of the whole passage. In the verses just before your quote starts Jesus says

          5 but now I am going to him who sent me. None of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’ 6 Rather, you are filled with grief because I have said these things. 7 But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.

          So the context of the ‘another advocate’ is that Jesus is going away. He is departing and this is making the disciples sad and confused. So he is comforting them by saying that they should not worry about his departure because another advocate will come – the Spirit. Try reading the whole chapter of John 16 with from that viewpoint and you will see that the oddities disappear and it makes perfect sense.

          You are absolutely correct about 1 John 5:7. But we know about this verse precisely because we have so many manuscripts and they are very ancient and none of them have this verse in it. Erasmus was the Greek scholar who in the 1500’s made the first modern Greek text of the New Testament. He knew from his sources that it should not be in. But the verse was in traditional Latin texts (not Greek) and since people were used to seeing it there Erasmus was under great pressure to keep it in. But the text is reliable and must surely be treated that way. From my reading, I have come across evidence of similar kinds of editing in the Qu’ran, but I do think that the text of it is still very well preserved.

          Re. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). I find that many times in the Qur’an he calls himself a ‘warner’ (ex. I am but a warner, and a bringer of glad tidings to whose who have faith – Surah 7:188). So I see him more on along the lines of a Warner.

          Re. interpretation. You are (again) correct though that it is the interpretation that is the biggest difficulty. But I do not see internpretation problems limited to the Bible. Do the Sunnis and the Shi’ites not have the same Qur’an? Is not the (big) differences in their interpretations? The challenge for everyone is to try to come at the text and let it speak for itself without imposing our prior views on it. I know that this is hard because I have seen it in my with the Bible and have had to ask myself at times why I get a certain intrepretation from a certain passage. I think if we recognize our own tendencies to want to ‘cheat’ in this way, and expose our interpretation to others who may not come from our perspective then we can sharpen our own interpretation.

          Hey, thanks for your comments but now I have almost written a full article and should sign off until later.

        2. Am a christian who has red Koran and Islamic hadiths especially Sahih bukhari and Abu Dawuud: From the hadiths i can conclude that Mohammed was not a messenger of God but was good teacher and all morals in Islamic world are good(there are many good things he did and i respect him for that) however:
          1.sleeping with his slaves then receiving revelations to justify that ?
          2.thighing of Aisha before consummation of the the marriage at 9 years,remember he married her at 6yrs, from six 6-9 he used thigh her up to masturbation point and Aisha has narrated removing semen from the prophet clothes so many times?
          3.marriage to his adopted son wife then receiving revelations ,something that was immoral even in pre-islamic world?
          4.which prophet raided people with arms and club in the name of holy war ?

          All these are from the hadiths look at this one about angel Gabriel : and ask yourself which angel of God can do this till his head is covered with dust and holding weapons?

          Narrated `Aisha:
          When Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) returned on the day (of the battle) of Al-Khandaq (i.e. Trench), he put down his arms and took a bath. Then Gabriel whose head was covered with dust, came to him saying, “You have put down your arms! By Allah, I have not put down my arms yet.” Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “Where (to go now)?” Gabriel said, “This way,” pointing towards the tribe of Bani Quraiza. So Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) went out towards them .

          Narrated Ibn `Abbas:
          The Prophet (ﷺ) said on the day (of the battle) of Badr, “This is Gabriel holding the head of his horse and equipped with arms for the battle.
