97. Would Muhammad have been considered to be a normal human being who needed to repent and ask forgiveness for his sins like everyone else?
the Bible Yes
Yes the Quran
the Bible's Perspective
Proverbs 20:9Who can say, “I have made my heart pure. I am clean and without sin?”
Ecclesiastes 7:20Surely there is not a righteous man on earth who does good and doesn’t sin.
Matthew 3:2“Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!”
Matthew 9:12-13When Jesus heard it, he said to them, “Those who are healthy have no need for a physician, but those who are sick do. But you go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,’ for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”
1 John 1:8He was not the light, but was sent that he might testify about the light.
the Quran's Perspective
An-Nisa (the Women) 4:106And seek forgiveness of Allah. Lo! Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful.
Yusuf (Joseph) 12:53I do not exculpate myself. Lo! the (human) soul enjoineth unto evil, save that whereon my Lord hath mercy. Lo! my Lord is Forgiving, Merciful.
Muhammad (Muhammad) 47:19So know (O Muhammad) that there is no Allah save Allah, and ask forgiveness for thy sin and for believing men and believing women. Allah knoweth (both) your place of turmoil and your place of rest.
Notes
Muhammad was not certain of his own salvation: Cf. Quran 46:9, Bukhari 5.58.266 and Bukhari 5.58.234 (234-236).
