Construction of Islam

Thank you. Bear with me, I have about half an hour left, so I will not use too many external references. Arguments 1. Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in Various Scriptures [Koran 7:157] Those who follow the messenger, the unlettered Prophet, whom they find mentioned in their own (scriptures),- in the law and the Gospel The Koran states that the beloved Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was foretold/mentioned in the scriptures preceding the Koran, which is the final scripture revealed by God / Allah (the meaning of the two words is the same). Islam says that about 124,000 Prophets were sent throughout different times and to different peoples prior to the birth of the last Prophet, i.e., Prophet Muhammad. These Prophets had scriptures revealed unto them. Jesus (peace be upon him) received the Injeel, today referred to as New Testament. Moses received the Torah, also known as the Old Testament. It is not disputed that various other scriptures prior to the Koran were revealed by God, although they became distorted. If the beloved Prophet is truly a Prophet, then a miracle must be reflected in order to demonstrate that he was, indeed, a Prophet who was sent by God. If a man claims to be a prophet, then he needs to achieve something miraculous in one way or another, otherwise we have no sufficient reasons to believe that he is, in fact, a true prophet. Now, since the Koran claims that the beloved Prophet is mentioned in various scriptures, its message can either be confirmed or disconfirmed. If disconfirmed, then we have no reason to believe in it. If, however, it is confirmed, then it would be nonsensical to ignore it, because for its very advanced claim to be true, the chances are low - except if the source of the message stems from an All-Knowing being. 2. The Bible [Deuteronomy 18:18] I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their fellow Israelites, and I will put my words in his mouth. He will tell them everything I command him. God was speaking to Moses (peace be upon him). God told him that there will be a new prophet "like unto him" (i.e., Moses). It is a fact that there was no prophet that we know of who was more similar to Prophet Muhammad besides Moses himself. Both were statesmen, were forced to migrate, received new laws (Mosaic Law, Shari'a), rejected by their people to begin with and later accepted, had parents (Jesus only had a mother), died natural deaths, had families and offspring, and so forth. No Prophets were as similar as those two. [John 14:16] And I will pray to the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever. Jesus said that another "Comforter" will come, and he will "abide forever." This refers to none but Prophet Muhammad, because the Greek word used here is "Periclytos," which means "the Praised One." The meanng of "Muhammad" is nearly the exact same. This passage does not refer to the Holy Spirit because it was present during the lifetime of Jesus, but Prophet Muhammad came a few centuries afterwards. There are many references from the Bible, but I will move on. 3. Hindu, Buddhist, and Zoroastrian scriptures Besides being mentioned in the Jewish and Christian scriptures, the beloved Prophet is also mentioned in various other scriptures. If given enough character space, I will elaborate on this matter and demonstrate the miracle that we witness about Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
