Question

Was The Prophet like Others in his Physical Properties? WAS HAZRAT MOHAMMAD (P.B.U.H) NORI (made of light) OR KHAKI (made of earth)? Reply According to the Quran, the Prophet (pbuh) in his physical properties was no different from the rest of mankind. The Quran says: Say to them (O Prophet): I am only a man like you, it has been revealed to me that your lord is only one God. (Al-Kahf 18: 110) Now, obviously, if the Quran does not require of me to believe that the Prophet (pbuh) was different in his physical properties from the rest of mankind, then why should I believe so? I hope this helps. The Learner
