In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
The Holy Quran States In Chapter No 3 verse 64: Say: “O People of the Book! come to common terms as between us and you: That we worship none but Allah. that we associate no partners with him; that we erect not, from among ourselves, Lords and patrons other than Allah.” If then they turn back, say ye: “Bear witness that we (at least) are Muslims (bowing to Allah.s Will).

CRITERION OF “THAT” PROPHET, BY JEREMIAH
M. In Jeremiah 28:9: “The prophet which prophesieth of peace, when the word of the prophet shall come to pass, then shall the prophet be known, that the Lord hath truly sent him.” The word Islam means submission to Allah and also signifies tranquility and peace. Peace between the Creator and his creatures. This prophecy of Jeremiah cannot be applied to Jesus, as Jesus himself stated that he didn’t come for peace (Luke 12:51-53): “Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you nay; but rather division: For from henceforth there will be five in one house divided, three against two and two against three. The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.” See also Matthew 10:34-36.
When prophet Muhammed came, he brought perfect peace, as he did away with all the prejudices of race, colour and caste. Qur’an states: “ Allah created all the nations and tribes that they may recognize each other, not that they may despise each other.” History as recorded by non-muslims shows the perfect harmony that Islam brought to the world for 800 years.
UNTIL SHILOH COMES
This was a message of Jacob to his children before he died. (Genesis 49:1): “And Jacob called unto his sons, and said, ‘Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days.’”
Genesis 49:10: “The Sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.”
Shiloh is also the name of a town but its real meaning is peace, tranquility, and rest, i.e., Islam. It could never refer to a town here. If it referred to a person, it could be a corruption of Shaluah (Elohim), i.e., Messenger (of Allah).
So the Sceptre, meaning the Israelite Prophethood in the lineage of Isaac would stop as soon as Shiloh comes. This corresponds with Surah 2:v133: “Were you witnesses when death came to Jacob? When he said to his sons, “What will you worship after me?” They said, “We shall worship thy God (Allah), the God of thy fathers, Abraham, Ishmael and Isaac; One God and to Him we surrendered. (in Islam).
The shift of Prophethood to another nation was threatened in Jeremiah 31:36: “If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the Lord, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever.”
Also foretold by Jesus in Matthew 21:43: “Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.” And that nation is the Arabs, as it is stated previously, “The Burden Upon Arabia“. Everything mentioned above fits perfectly to Islam and prophet Muhammed (pbuh). One does not have to stretch one’s imagination. The truth is clear as daylight.
BAKKA IS MAKKAH
The Holy Ka’bah built by Abraham and his son Ishmael is in Makkah, and is mentioned in the Holy Qur’an in Surah 48:v24. Another name for Makkah is Bakka, depending on the dialect of the tribe. The name “Bakka” is also mentioned in Surah 3:96: “Verily, the first House (of worship) appointed for mankind was that in Bakka (Makkah), full of blessing and guidance for all people.” Amazingly enough, this word “Bakka” was mentioned by Prophet David (pbuh) in his Psalm 84:6: “Who passing through the valley of Bakka made it a well, the rain also filleth the pools.” The water well mentioned here is the well-known well of “Zamzam,” which is still present close to the Ka’bah in Makkah as I mentioned earlier.
THE HOUSE OF MY GLORY
Isaiah, chapter 60:
1. “Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.” Compare with Surah 74:1-3: “O! Thou (Muhammed) wrapped up in garments! Arise and warn! And your Lord magnify!”
2. “For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people, but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and His glory shall be seen upon thee. The advent of Prophet Muhammed (pbuh) was at a time of spiritual darkness when the world forgot the Oneness of God as taught by Abraham and all the other Prophets including Jesus (pbut).
3. “And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.” Jesus had said “And go not unto the way of the Gentiles”. Here the Gentiles will come to the Final Prophet. As you can see it does not refer to Jesus, but rather to the Final Prophet as the followers of Muhammed are from every nation on earth i.e. Gentiles / non Jews.
4. “Lift up thine eyes round about, and see; all they gather themselves together, they come to thee:” Within less than twenty-three years the whole of Arabia was united and had accepted Islam.
5. “… Because the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee, the forces of the Gentiles shall come unto thee.” Within less than a century Islam spread out of Arabia to other countries. From the Pyrenees of Spain to China and all the countries in between. Today Muslims inhabit every country on earth!
6. “The multitude of camels shall cover thee, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; all they from Sheba shall come, they shall bring gold and incense; and they shall shew forth the praises of the Lord.”
7. “All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together unto thee, the rams of Nebaioth shall minister unto thee: they shall come up with acceptance on mine altar, and I will glorify the house of my glory.” The tribes of Kedar (Arabia) who were divided became united. “The house of my glory” referred here is the House of Allah in Makkah, and not the Church of Christ as thought by Christian commentators. It mentions “house” in the singular. There is only one house that Muslims are obligated to visit at least once in a lifetime, and that is the house in Makkah, “Kaaba”. On the other hand the Christians have no such injunction in the Bible, that it is compulsory to visit the Vatican or any other Church, as it did not exist prior to the time of Jesus (pbuh). The House of Allah already existed during the time of Moses, David, Jesus and Muhammed (pbut) as it was built by Prophets Abraham and Ishmael. It is a fact that the villages of Kedar (now whole Saudi Arabia) are the only country in the world, which remains impenetrable to any influence of the Church.
8. “Therefore thy gates shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night; that men may bring unto thee the forces of the Gentiles, and that their kings may be brought.” It is a fact that the mosque surrounding the Holy Ka’bah in Makkah has remained open day and night since it was cleansed of idols by Prophet Muhammed (pbuh) 1,400 years ago. Rulers as well as subjects came for Pilgrimage. From the foregoing, one can conclude that all of the above prophecies fit Prophet Muhammed (pbuh) perfectly. One does not have to stretch one’s imagination to see the truth of all the prophecies mentioned. Let us read on.
CHARIOT OF ASSES AND CHARIOT OF CAMELS
The vision of Isaiah of the two riders in Isaiah 21:7: “And he saw a chariot with a couple of horsemen, a chariot of asses, and a chariot of camels.”
Who was the rider upon an ass? Every Sunday school student will know him. That was Jesus (John 12:14) “And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon as it is written.”
Who then is the promised rider on a camel? Bible readers have overlooked this powerful Prophet. This is Prophet Muhammed (pbuh). If this is not applied to him, then the prophecy has yet to be fulfilled. That is why Isaiah mentioned further in the same chapter (21:13): “The burden upon Arabia . . .” which means the responsibility of the Arab Muslims, and of course now of all Muslims, to spread the message of Islam.
Isaiah 21:14: “The inhabitants of the land of Tema brought water to him that was thirsty; they prevented with their bread him that fled.” Tema is probably Madina where Prophet Muhammed (pbuh) and his companions fled to, when the Quraish of Makkah wanted to kill them. The people of Madina gave them food and shelter as is recorded in the hadiths of the prophet. In Isaiah 21:15: “For they fled from the swords, from the drawn sword and from the bent bow, and from the grievousness of war.” This was when Prophet Muhammed (pbuh) and his companions were persecuted and left Makkah for Madina. Isaiah 21:16: “For thus hath the Lord said unto me: “Within a year, according to the years of a hireling, and all the glory of Kedar shall fail.” Exactly in the second year of Hijrah (immigration) the pagans were defeated in the battle of Badr. (313 ill equipped Muslims under the leadership of the Prophet, defeated more than 1000 well-equipped Arabs from Makkah.)
Finally Isaiah 21:17 concludes with “… the mighty men of the children of Kedar shall be diminished, for the Lord God of Israel hath spoken it.” Kedar is the second son of Ishmael (Genesis 25:13) from whom ultimately Prophet Muhammed (pbuh) arose. In the beginning the children of Kedar were attacking Muhammed (pbuh) and his companions. But as time went many of them accepted Islam, and the number of children of Kedar who resisted, diminished. In some Bible verses Kedar is synonymous with the Arabs as in Ezekiel 27:21 “Arabia, and all the Princes of Kedar…” WHO IS KEDARSome Christian denominations are making tremendous progress now by acknowledging for the first time in history that Muhammed (pbuh) descended from Ishmael, (the first son of Prophet Abraham) through his second son Kedar. The 1980 Davis Dictionary of the Bible, sponsored by the Board of Christian Education of the Presbyterian Church in the USA, writes under the word Kedar: ” . . . A tribe descended from Ishmael (Gen. 25:13) … The people of Kedar were Pliny’s Cedrai, and from their tribe Muhammed ultimately arose.” The International Standard Bible Encyclopedia quotes the following from A. S. Fulton: ” . . . Of the Ishmaelite tribes, Kedar must have been one of the most important, and thus in later times the name came to be applied to all the wild tribes of the desert.”
“It is through Kedar (Arab-Keidar) that Muslim genealogists trace the descent of Muhammed from Ishmael.”
Also Smith’s Bible Dictionary prints the following: “Kedar, second son of Ishmael (Gen. 25:13) … Muhammed traces his lineage to Abraham through the celebrated Koreish tribe, which sprang from Kedar. The Arabs in the Hejaz are called Beni Harb (men of war), and are Ishmaelites as of old from their beginning.”
THE PROPHET LIKE UNTO MOSES
God addressed Moses (Deuteronomy 18:18): “I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee (Moses), and will put My words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.”
1. The brethren of Israelites (descendants of Abraham through Isaac) and Ishmaelites (descendants of Abraham through Ishmael). Jesus is here excluded, as he is an Israelite; otherwise it should be written “a Prophet from amongst you.”
2. Muhammed is in many ways like unto Moses. If this is not accepted, then this promise has yet to be fulfilled. The table below, taken from Al-Ittihad, January-March 1982, page 41, is self-explanatory:
The following is a comparison between a few crucial characteristics of Moses, Muhammed and Jesus, which clarifies the identity of “that prophet” who was to come after Moses.

3. “I shall put my words in his mouth.” Deut: 18.18. It happened exactly as stated. The Qur’an was revealed bit by bit via Gabriel, and the “words were out into the Prophet’s mouth. Thereafter the Prophet read it out to his companions, and a scribe used to write it down. After it was written down, it was read to the Prophet for verification.
4. The Qur’an was revealed in this manner, bit by bit over a period of 23 years as prophesized in Isaiah.
Deuteronomy 18:19: “And it shall come to pass that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in My name, I will require it of him.”
In the Qur’an 113 of the 114 chapters (Surah) start with “In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, And Most Merciful.” Also, in their daily work, the Muslims start with this saying “In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, And Most Merciful.” God’s personal name is “Allah” and as such it is not subject to gender like God & Goddess, or to plurality, like God & Gods. Christians start with “In the Name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.”
It is to be noted that those who will not hear him, and deny him, will be punished. In certain Bibles Deuteronomy 18:19 states “I will be his avenger” This corresponds with passages in the Holy Qur’an: (Surah 3:19): “Truly the religion in the sight of Allah is Islam.” (Surah 3:85): “And whoever desires a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers.”
MY SERVANT, MESSENGER AND ELECTA further fulfillment of the prophecy of Muhammed is found in Isaiah 42.
1. “Behold My servant, whom I uphold; Mine elect, in whom My soul delighteth; I have put My spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.” Also called “My messenger” in verse 19. No doubt all Prophets were indeed servants, messengers and elect of Allah. Yet no Prophet is universally called by these specific titles as Muhammed (pbuh). In Arabic: “Abduhu wa Rasuluhul Mustapha,” i.e. His slave servant and His elected messenger. The testimony of a person accepting Islam is: “I bear witness that there is no deity except Allah, Who has no partner and I bear witness that Muhammed is His servant and messenger.” This same formula is repeated five times a day through the minarets of the mosques as a call for prayers, another five times daily, immediately before the beginning of each prayer, nine times a day in the “Tashahhud” during the five obligatory prayers, and several more times if a Muslim performs additional recommended prayers. In other words, this formula is repeated dozens of time a day by each Muslim throughout the world. The most common title of Prophet Muhammed (pbuh) is Rasulullah, i.e. the messenger of Allah.
2. “He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.” This describes the high moral character and decency of Prophet Muhammed (pbuh).3. “ . . . He shall bring forth judgment unto truth.” He chastised the Jews for making God into a Jewish God for the Jews only, which they still do. And he chastised the Christians for making God into three, and in elevating Jesus to be son of God etc.
4. “He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he has set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law.” Compare with Jesus, (pbuh) who did not prevail over his enemies and was rejected by his own people: the Jews.
5. “ I, the Lord have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles.” “And will keep thee,” i.e. no other Prophet will come after him. In a short time many Gentiles and many Jews living in Madina were guided into Islam. His sayings and teachings (Hadiths) are preserved intact completely separate from the Qur’an.
6. “To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.” “Blind eyes, life of darkness” denotes here the pagan life of servitude to idols and men. “Bring out the prisoners from the prison” denotes the abolishment of slavery for the first time in the history of mankind by the Prophet of Islam (pbuh).
7. “I am the Lord, that is My name, and My glory will I not give to another, neither My praise to graven images.” The Prophet of Islam destroyed over 360 idols that were in the Ka’bah when he conquered Makkah without a drop of blood being shed. Prophet Muhammed (pbuh) is unique among all Prophets as he is the “Seal of all Prophets” and his teachings remain undistorted till today. Not so the scriptures of Christianity and Judaism!
8. “Sing unto the Lord a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth, “ A new song as it is not in Hebrew or Aramaic, but in Arabic. The praise of God and His messenger Muhammed (pbuh) is chanted five times daily from the minarets of thousands of mosques all around the world. i.e.The ends of the earth.
9. “Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar doth inhabit: let the inhabitants of the rock sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains.” From Mount Arafat near Makkah, the Pilgrims chant every year the following: “Here I am (for Your service) O’ Allah. Here I am. You have no partner. Here I am. Verily Yours is the praise, the blessings and sovereignty. There is no God besides You.” Isaiah 42 can never be applied to an Israelite Prophet, as Kedar is the second son of Ishmael. See Genesis 25:13. 10. “Let them give glory unto the Lord, and declare his praise in the islands.” And really Islam spread to the small islands as far as Indonesia and the Caribbean Sea.11. “He shall prevail against his enemies.” In a short period, of only 23 years, the Kingdom of God on earth was established with the advent of Muhammed (pbuh) and he prevailed over his enemies. This 42nd chapter of Isaiah fits perfectly and precisely to the character of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).
KING DAVID CALLED HIM “MY LORD”
Psalm 110:1: “The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at My right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool.” Mentioned here are two Lords, if the first Lord (the speaker) is God, the second Lord (the one spoken to) could not be God also, as David knew only One God. So it should read: “God said unto my Lord”. Question: Who was it that David called “my Lord”? The Church would say Jesus. But this had been denied by Jesus himself in Matthew 22:45, Mark 12:37 and Luke 20:44. He excluded himself from this title, as he was a son of David. How could David call him “my Lord” if he was his son, he argued. And David himself said in the book of Psalms, “The Lord said unto my Lord, sit thou on My right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool.” David therefore called him Lord. Otherwise David would have said:” My Lord said unto my son…”as the genealogy traced in the Bible of Jesus is from David (pbut).
Jesus must have given an answer not recorded in the four canonical Gospels, but is mentioned explicitly in the Gospel of Barnabas that the promise was made in Ishmael, not in Isaac (pbut). David’s Lord was thus Muhammed (pbuh) whom he saw in spirit. No Prophet ever accomplished more than Muhammed (pbuh) in establishing the worship of the ONE GOD on this earth. Even the work of all other Prophets together cannot be compared with what Muhammed (pbuh) achieved within a short period of 23 years. It is unrivalled as is stated in the ‘Encyclopedia Britannica,’ that the most successful prophet of all time is Prophet Muhammed (pbuh).
It is also very important to note here that each and every prophet from Adam to Muhammed including Moses & Jesus (pbut) worshiped only One God. Nowhere is it recorded that any of them worshiped two or three gods.
MENTIONED BY NAME “MUHAMMAD-IM”
Bible, Book of, Song of Solomon Chapter 5 verse 16:
“Hikko Mamittakim we kullo Muhammadim Zehdoodeh wa Zehrace Bayna Jerusalem .”
MUHUMMED (PBUH) MENTIONED BY NAME IN THE BIBLE: (b) “his mouth is most sweet: yea, he is (Muhummed-im) altogether lovely, this is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem . SONG OF SOLOMON 5:16 From the original Hebrew manuscript the word “MUHUMMEDIM”, is translated as “altogether lovely’ which is actually the word MUHUMMED with “im” added. “IM” is the plural of respect in the Hebrew language.
ART THOU THAT PROPHET?
The Jews sent priests and Levites to John the Baptist to inquire from him as to who he really was. (John 1:20-21) “And he (John the Baptist) confessed and denied not; but confessed, “I am not the Christ.” And they asked him, “What then?” “Art thou Elias?” And he saith, “I am not.” “Art thou that prophet?” And he answered, “No.” The crucial question here is: “Art thou that prophet?” Who then was this long-awaited Prophet after the advent of Jesus and John the Baptist that was so well known, that it was not even necessary to mention his name? Was he not the one like unto Moses as mentioned in Deuteronomy 18:18? The answer is self-evident. It could only be Muhammed (pbuh). Every prophecy as mentioned above fits prophet Muhammed perfectly and completely. There is no mystery in all the above proofs.
BAPTIZING WITH THE HOLY GHOST AND WITH FIRE
Matthew 3:11: “I, (John the Baptist) indeed baptize you with water unto repentance; but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear, he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire.” If Jesus were alluded to here, John the Baptist would not have gone back to live in the jungle again, but to cling to him and be one of his disciples, which he did not do. So another powerful Prophet was here alluded to, and not Jesus. The one coming after John the Baptist could not be Jesus as both were contemporaries. Here again, was it not Prophet Muhammed (pbuh) who was alluded to by John the Baptist? (pbut)
THE LEAST IN THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN
Jesus was quoted as saying (Matthew 11:11): “Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater one than John the Baptist, notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven, is greater than he.”
Can you believe that John the Baptist is greater than Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David and many other Prophets? How many pagans had John the Baptist converted, and how many followers did he have? What were his main achievements? But this is not the main point here. The question is: who is the least in the kingdom of heaven, greater than John the Baptist? Surely not Jesus, as at that time the kingdom of heaven was not yet established, and he never claimed to be the least, i.e. the youngest / last prophet. The kingdom of heaven consists of God as the Supreme Being and all Prophets. The least or youngest one is Prophet Muhammed (pbuh), the last and final Prophet. No other person upto now has ever claimed to be a prophet with divine revelation since Jesus, except prophet Muhammed. It is imperative that the followers of Jesus should at least read the Qur’an, and decide to accept or reject the message.
BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERS
In his sermon on the mount, Jesus was quoted as saying (Matthew 5:9) “Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.”
Islam means Surrender to Allah and also Peace: peace between the Creator and the worshipper. Jesus could not mean his mission as peacemaker as he did not come for peace. (Matthew 10:34-36): “Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household.” See also Luke 12:49-53.
Kingdom of Heaven means the establishing of Islam on earth, which is the name given by Allah for His religion. The Qur’an states in the final precept / bit of revelation at the time of the farewell pilgrimage of the Prophet: “This day have I (Allah) perfected for you your religion, and chosen Islam …”
COMFORTER
John 14:16:”And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever.”
We do not know exactly the original Aramaic word used by Jesus for Comforter. English Bibles use Consoler, Advocate, Helper, and in Greek Bibles the word Paraclete. The Church and Priests gives different explanations for it: Holy Spirit, the Word, etc.
The Holy Qur’an states in Surah 61:6 that Jesus explicitly mentioned the name “Ahmed”, “And (remember) when Jesus Son of Mary said: “O’ children of Israel! I am the Apostle of Allah (sent) to you confirming the Torah (which came) before me, and giving glad tidings of an Apostle to come after me, whose name shall be Ahmed (i.e. another name of Prophet Muhammed, and literally means the one who praises Allah more than any other).”
Whatever the explanation is of the Comforter, we can conclude that Jesus left unfinished work and that someone was coming to complete his mission. Let us examine in the light of the Bible if this Comforter fits the character of Prophet Muhammed (pbuh).
1. “Another Comforter”: So many Comforters (prophets) had come and another one was yet to come.
2. “That he may abide with you for ever”: i.e. there was no need for another one to come after him, as he was the Seal of all Prophets. The teaching i.e. The Glorious Qu’ran, will abide forever, and will remain intact, without any changes or interpolations. In fact the Holy Qur’an remains as pure as it was revealed, more than 1,400 years ago.
3. “He will reprove the world of sin” (John 16:8): All other Prophets, Abraham, Moses, David and Solomon (pbut) chastised their own people for sin, but not the whole world as Muhammed (pbuh) did. He not only rooted out idolatry in Arabia within a 23-year period, but also sent envoys to Heraclius, the Sovereigns of the empires of Persia and Rome, to Najashi, the King of Ethiopia and to Muqauqis, the Governor of Egypt. Copies of his letters to these rulers are in the Topkapi Museum in Turkey even today.
He reprimanded the Christians for changing the Unity of God into a trinity, for having raised Jesus to Son of God, and God Himself. It was he who condemned the Jews and Christians for having corrupted their Scriptures, remonstrated the birthright of Ishmael (pbuh), and cleared the Prophets from accusations of adultery, incest, rape and idolatry.
4. “The prince of the world is judged” (John 16:11). This is Satan as explained in John 12:31 and 14:30. So Prophet Muhammed (pbuh) came to chastise the entire world on account of judgment.
5. “The Spirit of Truth” (John 16:13). Since childhood, Prophet Muhammed (pbuh) was called Al-Ameen, i.e. the Honest and Truthful One; and “he will guide you unto all truth…” (John 16:13).
6. “For he shall not speak of himself, but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak” (John 16:13).
The Holy Qur’an is verbatim God’s word. The angel Gabriel read it to Muhammed (pbuh), he memorized it, and his scribes wrote it down. Not a single word from Prophet Muhammed (pbuh) or his companions is included in the Glorious Qur’an. Imam Bukari and Imam Muslim record the prophet’s sayings and teachings separately. They are called Ahadith (Traditions).
Compare with Deuteronomy 18:18: “… and will put My words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.” This corresponds with Qur’an: Surah 53:2-4: “Your companion (Muhammed) is neither astray nor being misled. Nor does he speak of (his own) desire. It is only the inspiration that is inspired.”
7. “And he will show you things to come” (John 16:13). All prophecies of Prophet Muhammed (pbuh) came to pass.
8. “He shall glorify me” (John 16:14). It is a fact that the Holy Qur’an and Prophet Muhammed (pbuh) have more reverence for Jesus (pbuh) than the Bible and Christians themselves. The following will clarify: to believe in his death on the cross discredits his prophethood.
According to Deuteronomy 13:5: “And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death…” It also stamps him as accursed (ALLAH forbid) according to Deuteronomy 21:22-23: “… for he that is hanged is accursed of God … Matthew 27:46: “… My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?”
Even a non-prophet would smile at agony if he knew that his death would win him the title of a martyr. Is this not an insult to Jesus (pbuh) in not having faith in ALLAH?
Matthew 7:6: “Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine…” John 2:4: “Jesus saith unto her (Mary), Woman, what have I to do with thee?”
We Muslims don’t believe that Jesus (pbuh) could ever label the gentiles as dogs and swine and address his mother as woman. These are definitely interpolations. Jesus would never speak to his beloved mother in that manner.
The Holy Qu’ran states in Surah 19:32, Jesus said, “And be dutiful to my mother (i.e. Mary), and (Allah) made me not unblessed and arrogant.”
THE UNLETTERED PROPHET & REVELATION TO PROPHET MUHAMMED (PBUH)
The first revelation of Allah through the angel Gabriel to Muhammed (pbuh) was the word “Iqra” which means, “Read” in Arabic. Surah 96:v.1. As he was unlearned (could not read nor write) he replied: “I cannot read.” This first revelation was prophesied in Isaiah 29:12: “And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, “Read this, I pray thee” and he saith, “I am not learned.” Exactly as stated in Isaiah 29:12!
The order of the revelations is not in the order it is seen in the Qur’an. In other words the first part revealed is not in the first page and the last part revealed is not in the last page. That these revelations came piecemeal bit by bit, (here a little and there a little) and inserted in certain order in the Qur’an as ordained by Allah, was also mentioned in Isaiah 28:10-11: “For precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little: For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to his people.” See how perfectly these prophecies fit Prophet Muhammed (pbuh). The Qur’an was revealed over a period of 23 years and it was revealed “precept upon precept” as it was prophesied. Another tongue means Arabic, not Hebrew or Aramaic which Jesus spoke. One does not have to stretch one’s imagination to make the prophecies fit. GOD makes it easy to have true belief and understanding of his message. It is the Church that is confusing the people with its own interpretations and teachings.
Muslims all over the world use one language, which is Arabic, in calling upon their God, in their prayers, pilgrimage and in their greetings to each other. Also this unity of language had been prophesied in Zephaniah 3:9: “For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the Lord, to serve him with one consent.” Look how it all fits. The name of God is Allah, which is a pure word, which cannot be corrupted, and every nation be it German, Bosnian, Chinese, Indian, American, Turkish or any nation, calls upon Allah only in Arabic. Alas the Truth has come in Arabic, but some still expect Prophet Jesus (pbuh), to teach mankind to worship Allah in another language in his second coming. We Muslims are sure that Prophet Jesus (pbuh) in his second coming will join the Muslims in their mosques to pray to Allah. He is a Muslim, circumcised, shunning the eating of pork, and abstaining from alcohol and performing prayers with ablution, standing, bowing and prostrating as he did in the Garden of Gethsemane, and as the Muslims pray in their homes and mosques!
It can never be a church as it contains “Graven Images” and has photos, paintings of cherubim and crosses, and Jesus never ever prayed in such a place before.
That day is definitely not far off. Most of the signs foretold by prophet Muhammed prior to Jesus’s return to earth have already been fulfilled. The time is very close. I pray to the ONE GOD, Who created all the Angels, Jinn, Mankind, and everything that exists, to guide us unto all truth, as was the earnest prayer of Jesus and all the prophets (pbut), and may Allah accept this humble effort through HIS mercy, of the author, compiler, and all those who have been instrumental in the publication of this book. Ameen.
