 Summary: Assalamo Allaikum, I understand the Shia believe that Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) did not commit sins or mistakes. Can you please give me the interpretation for the following Quranic verses: 47:19; 40:55; 80:5-10; 110:3; 33:37? I know that Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) did not commit sins, but to me these verses clearly show he made mistakes. And if he made mistakes, does this not contradict verse 2 of chapter 53 (Your Companion is neither astray nor being misled)? |
