IS THE HOLY QURAN MORE VIOLENT THAN THE BIBLE? 218 special decree of Allah the Almighty to undergo punishment. Besides these eternally accursed few, every sworn enemy was pardoned. And having achieved victory, he announced to them: “No blame shall lie on you this day”. 13 Hence, there is no doubt that Prophet Muhammad sa cannot fairly be compared to Jesus as as the former’s forgiveness and magnanimity was properly demonstrated by his ascendency to a kingdom. Regarding Jesus as , we cannot possibly know what he would have done if he had come to power. Would he have taken revenge on his enemies? Would he have put them all to the sword? We cannot know because it never happened. In the case of Prophet Muhammad sa , it did happen and we saw that he forgave his enemies, and he demonstrated that he was truly the prince of peace.
