Jesus was a braver man then Muhammad.

Hi there! First, is this a question or a statement? If it is a question then bravery of one Messenger of God never surpasses the others because the difficulties each had to go through is connected to the region in which He came to. I am not here to argue that Muhammad was braver than Jesus in any way whatsoever. 1) Moses In Egypt, Moses was publicly blasphemed and hugely rejected by the Pharaoh and his supporters, which then resulted in the Messenger of God being ridiculed and mocked. In Numbers 12 Moses" bro & sis, Aaron and Miriam, attempt a revolt against Him. But they have a reasonable complaint. Moses teaches that Israelites are not to marry foreigners (Deut. 7:3), yet He Himself has a foreign wife (Num. 12:1). They could have brought it to Moses or to the council of elders which He had recently formed (Num. 11:16-17) for resolution but instead, they tried to put themselves in Moses" place as leaders of the nation. In reality, their complaint was an excuse to launch a rebellion to attain power. Therefore, we see Moses tasked with bearing the Message of God, being publicly mocked for spreading it, witnessing the betrayal of His family members, witnessing God punishing His bro and sis, and being pursued across a vast, barren desert by an army of Egyptian revenge-seekers led by Ramses. If this doesn't require bravery idk what does. 2) Jesus A good question to ask ourselves is "what challenges did Christ encounter?". If we take the word "challenge" to be something difficult we face and work hard to overcome it, then Jesus didn't really have any challenges. As a true human being, Jesus relied every moment of His life on the ultimate power of the Holy Spirit to fulfill His Father's Will. He did nothing in His own strength because it was the Father who enabled him to do so. In this, He shows us what true human living is - a life of complete submission to God; saying 'Father, not my will but yours be done'; knowing that everything we are and have comes as a gift from the Father, and that 'He who calls us is faithful; he will surely do it' (1 Thess. 5:24). A challenge he faced was that people went as far as to call Him "God" and he responds in frustration in John 8:42-43, ""If God were your Father, you would love me, for I have come here from God. I have not come on my own; God sent me. Why is my language not clear to you? Because, you are unable to hear what I say". The Lord Christ was confronted every day with challenges presented by the people. The Devil tried to tempt him to step aside from His mission (Matthew 4:8-10); people expected Him to set up an earthly kingdom on the spot (John 18:35-36); the leaders of the day were constantly arguing with him and trying to trick him into saying something that would deem him false (John 18:37-40); people came to him with questions and expectations that were just plain stupid and useless (Matt 11:3, Matthew 15:1-3, Mark 4:38,40, Mark 7:17-18). Jesus confronted a crowd of people who were misusing the Temple, and displayed divine, righteous anger (Matt 21:12-13); he became frustrated with those who always expected him to do a miracle (Matt 11:20), or with his disciples who continually failed to get the point (Mark 4:38,40. His greatest challenge was when he faced the cross. As the time came, Jesus became "deeply troubled in his spirit" (John 13:21) - yet in the next moment was able to say to his disciples '"Let not your hearts be troubled" (John 14:1)! At the cross, Jesus carried the weight of the anger of God against our sin and experienced the horror of human shame, remorse, hopelessness, and fear. It is no wonder that it is said that he was unrecognizable, not just from his physical beatings (Isa 52:14), but also because of what all this experience of humanity's guilt would have done to him. We're told that even this was done in the power and enabling of the Holy Spirit (Hebrews 9:14). Jesus didn't so much face the challenge, bolster up all his strength, and then push through to make it happen. He simply surrendered himself to the Father and to his Father's will. That's the key for us, too. So his bravery was shown by implementing what the Almighty had asked of Him. 3) Muhammad Before the migration of the Prophet Muhammad from Mecca to Medina in 622, I will cover a little bit of Islamic history. In Arabia, monotheism was not a popular belief with those people whose livelihood depended on idols, therefore the Declaration of the Prophet Muhammad"s mission in Mecca in the year 610 generated a lot of hate, much like the time of Moses when He proclaimed His mission in Egypt"s idol-worshipping atmosphere. Once the Prophet Muhammad began to do God"s Will by spreading the Teachings of Islam, this action made severe enemies among the polytheist traders and rulers of Mecca. The persecution of the Muslims by the Meccans was so immense that the Prophet and His Companions had no choice but to escape the city to avoid further oppression, much like when Moses led the Jews out of Egypt, away from tyranny. So I"ll go over why He and His disciples had to escape. Amr ibn Hisham, a polytheist, one of the leading figures of the city and the arch-enemy to the Teachings of Muhammad, had one thing on his mind, and that was to generate a state-sponsored hostility towards Muhammad and Islam. For example, while the Prophet would go to pray, Hisham took his thugs and waited until He was in prostration during prayer, and ordered His thugs to dump camel feces on Him. To anyone who believes in God and in common sense, this is a disgusting and disgraceful act. Acts like this continued when Hisham threw rocks at Him during prayer, or stirred up the entire Meccan population with hateful sentiments towards the newly converted people. From the year 610 to the year 622, the Prophet faced such treatment from the rulers of polytheist Mecca, so He and His disciples were forced to escape under the scorching Arabian sun, and through the sharp, cold Arabian nights, beginning the arduous task (Hijra) of reaching the city of Medina 300 km north of Mecca. Even when the Prophet had left the city, Hisham organized a massive plot to assassinate Him because the Teachings of the One True God were gradually spreading in his city (the persecution of Christ and Moses are similar because they too taught the Teachings of the One True God but were actively oppressed). The year 622 marks the beginning of the Islamic Calendar. Even then, with the Meccans temporarily out of the picture, the betrayal of the Jewish and the Christian tribes became a new problem that faced Muhammad and His disciples. In conclusion, all the Messengers of God, whether they were leading their disciples away from tyranny (Moses) or literally gave their life in service to the Cause of God (Jesus) or took 10 years (610 to 622) of persecution, oppression, and public harassment (Muhammad), they have all been harassed to some level by the humans that refused to investigate their claims. So the bravery of one Messenger of God is the bravery of all the Messengers of God, for there is a reason why they were the Ones that are appointed to do God"s will on this Earth. Your turn, my friend :) P.S.: I, by no means, claim the station of any Messenger of God to be higher than the other. Each came for their time and each served their purpose according to the Commands of the Almighty God.
