I was addressing the point of ignorance back there.
Now: Blessed are the ignorant who believe without needing proof.
From the name we know him by, Jesus didn't say that.
For Muslims, at least, Koran is the proof. Since I can't remember the exact English translation, I'd rather not write it, but the gist is that God created animals and beautiful things so we can ponder over Who created them.
Also, as we Muslims know it, Musa/Moses repeatedly asked God to show Himself, so God asked him to look at a hill near the mountain where Musa talked to God. When God did show Himself, the hill became blackened and Musa lost conciousness. Another time, 40 people wanted to see God and came with Musa to the mountain, they died when God revealed His light. (He returned them to life)
The Arab non-believers teased Hazrat Muhammad SAW and said the Koran was written by a human, so God issued them a challenge to write a surah in Arabic that was at the level at the Koran. No one could.
Poets in Arabia used to have an annual contest. They would write poetry and stick it on the wall of the Ka'aba. Hazrat Ali RA copied a surah from the Koran and stuck it there, and the poets agreed that no human could write on such as it.
That's for Muslims
