Template talk:Muhammad

message: Also, the division between "Islamic" and "non-Islamic" views seems rather artificial. It is possible for Muslims to criticize Muhammad, or to question some aspects of his historicity (as do Qur’an alone Muslims, and from a certain perspective do all schools where hadith are concerned), just as it is possible for non-Muslims to write poetry about Muhammad. Not all Muslims celebrate Mawlid, while not all non-Muslims criticize Muhammad, or doubt his historicity. This division is presumptious, artificial and unwarranted.Proabivouac 06:52, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

message: I just noticed that on the template there is a wikilink for Christian perspective, but when you click on it you are brought to an article on only the medieval perspective.  Perhaps the link title should be changed, or else the article be expanded to include a complete historical picture of the Christian view of Muhammad?

replies: text: I agree; if you are going to include a link to the Christian perspective of Muhammed, you should at least link to a complete historical view, not just Medieval. Hazillow (talk) 18:08, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: That wasn't the picture I saw, but the picture was broken.  I just reverted the last edit, as I can't tell what was wrong with the formatting that made the picture disappear.  Anyone with more knowledge of the template that can get the picture right is welcome to re-fix.  Qwyrxian (talk) 07:49, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

message: This template has become so gigantic that it cannot be usefully transcluded in most articles. 
Is there a smaller version that is still usable? --dab (𒁳) 14:17, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

There seems to be some kind of severe misunderstanding as to the scope of Wikipedia on the part of
Ibrahim ebi. 
Ibrahim, please read the Wikipedia article, then proceed to WP:5P, WP:COI and WP:ENC. 
The template is still rather too large to use on the side of articles which themselves use illustratoins. I would suggest turning this into a footer navbox. --dab (𒁳) 14:27, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

message: Please make the opening sentence more objectively accurate and unbiased: 
"Muhammad[n 1] (Arabic: محمد‎‎; pronounced [muħammad];[n 2] c. 570 CE – 8 June 632 CE)[2] is the prophet of Islam and widely identified as its founder by non-Muslims.[3][4] According to Islamic doctrine, he was God's Messenger (rasūl Allāh) sent to confirm the essential teachings of monotheism preached previously by Adam, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and other prophets." 
Please change entry to PAST tense ("was") and indicate that Muslims BELIEVE him to be a prophet. 
The current article is not objective and directly contrasts with opening entries for comparable religious leaders: 
"Gautama Buddha (c. 563 BCE/480 BCE – c. 483 BCE/400 BCE), also known as Siddhārtha Gautama [sid̪ːʱɑːrt̪ʰə gəut̪əmə], Śhakyamuni Buddha [ɕɑːkjəmun̪i bud̪ːʱə],[4] or simply the Buddha, after the title of Buddha, was an ascetic (śramaṇa) and sage,[4] on whose teachings Buddhism was founded.[5] He is believed to have lived and taught mostly in the eastern part of ancient India sometime between the sixth and fourth centuries BCE."
"Jesus[e] (/ˈdʒiːzəs/ JEE-zuss; c. 4 BC – c. AD 30/33), also referred to as Jesus of Nazareth or Jesus Christ,[f] was a Jewish preacher and religious leader who became the central figure of Christianity.[13] Christians believe him to be the Son of God and the awaited Messiah (Christ) prophesied in the Old Testament."
