[Śrī Anil asked: A Muslim devotee claimed that Prophet Mohammad is the greatest prophet giving the following as proof: When our beloved Prophet went to Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, He led all the prophets in prayer. This shows His superior status among them.]
Swāmi replied: The Muslim devotee said that Prophet Mohammed led all the prophets in prayer. Are you sure that all those prophets were Incarnations of God? Among those prophets, Prophet Jesus was not present. Had Jesus too been present there, his claim could have been correct. We consider Prophet Mohammad to be an Incarnation of God after Prophet Jesus, who was also an Incarnation of God. We can say that both Jesus and Mohammad are equal, being Incarnations of God. Hence, the Muslim is correct in saying that Prophet Mohammad was the greatest among the prophets present in the mosque at that time since Prophet Jesus was not present there at the time.
