Prophet Muhammad (sawa) is Prophesied in The Bible

In The Name of Allah; The Most Compassionate, The Most Merciful The Muslims and Christians have a never-ending argument over the Bible. The Muslims say that Prophet Muhammad (sawa) has been prophesied in the Scriptures. However, Christians , knowingly or unknowingly, disagree and claim that the Promised Prophet is Jesus Christ (a.s), the Messiah, the Son of Mary to conceal the truth. "Those to whom We gave the Scripture know him as they know their own sons. But indeed, a party of them conceal the truth while they know [it]." (The Quran 2:146) But who say the Truth? Who is the Promised Prophet? We read in the gospel of John, "When the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou? And he 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." (John 1:19:21) From the gospel of John, the Jews were waiting for the fulfillment of three distinct prophecies: 1. The Coming of Jesus 2. The Coming of Elijah/Elias [1] 3. The Coming of The Prophet According to the above verses, the Prophet whom Jews were waiting for was neither Jesus nor Elias, because after John denied being them, they asked him if he was "The Prophet". And it's really strange that John the Baptist himself didn't know that he was Eijah!! [2] Muslims claim that the Promised Prophet refers to Prophet Muhammad (sawa) who was foretold by Moses (a.s) as follow: "The Lord thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken; According to all that thou desiredst of the Lord thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not hear again the voice of the Lord my God, neither let me see this great fire any more, that I die not. And the Lord said unto me, They have well spoken that which they have spoken. I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him." (Deuteronomy 18:15:18) From these verse, we conclude that: 1. The Promised Prophet will be like Moses. 2. He will come from the brethren of the Israelities. 3. God will put His words into his mouth and he will declare what God orders him. The Prophet mentioned in Deuteronomy 18:18 could fit nobody else except Prophet Muhammad (sawa). However Christians quote the Bible to prove that Jesus was like Moses; "And that he may send the Messiah, who has been appointed for you--even Jesus.... For Moses said, 'The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your own people; you must listen to everything he tells you." (Acts 4:20-22) On the contrary, The Quran says that Muhammad is similar to Moses! "Indeed, We have sent to you a Messenger (referring to Muhammad) as a witness upon you just as We sent to Pharaoh a messenger (referring to Moses)." (the Quran 73:15) But who is like Moses, Jesus or Prophet Muhammad (sawa)?! 1. Muhammad is like Moses: - Both Moses and Muhammad (sawa) had natural birth. They were born in a normal way and had parents. But Jesus had a miracluous birth from his mother without having father. - Both Moses and Muhammad (sawa) had natural death. They were buried. But Jesus was raisen to heaven. - Both Moses and Muhammad (sawa) were the prophets of new dispensation. All prophets among the Israelities including Jesus didn't bring new religious laws. Jesus himself came to fulfill and follow the laws of Moses. (According to Matthew 5:17-19) - Both Moses and Muhammad (sawa) did encounter their enemies and had vicory over them. But we fail to see any physical battle between Jesus and his enemies. - Both Moses and Muhammad got married and had children. But Jesus had been a bachelor all his life. - The leadership of Moses was accepted by people during his life. The same is true for Muhammad (sawa). But Jesus often complained that his leadership was resisted. - Both Moses and Muhammad (sawa) were prophets of God. But Christians regard Jesus as the Son of God, or even God. So if the prophet mentioned in Deuteronomy is Jesus, the Christians must admit that Jesus was nothing more than a prophet. The only similarity between Moses and Jesus is that they both were from the Israelities and it doesn't fit this prophecy. 2. Muhammad is from the brethren of the Ishmaelities. "Among their brethren" clearly refers to a nation other than the Israelites; otherwise it should have been "amongst yourselves." First let's see how the Old Testament introduces Ishmael. "And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the LORD hath heard thy affliction. And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren." (Genesis 16:12-14) The Torah has said that Ishmael is the brother of the Israelities so his descendants can be their brethren as well. We know as a fact that the the Ishmaelities dwelt in Arabia [3] And Kedar was the second son of Ishmael and the father of Kedarites. [4]. The Kedarites (also known as "Quraish" in Arabic) were the powerful tribe of Arabia, from the descendants of Kedar. And Prophet Muhammad was born into the"Banu Hashim clan of the Quraish tribe. [5] So Abraham, Ishhael and Kedar were ancestors of Muhammad (sawa). As a result, the prophet from the brethren of Ishmealities refers to Muhammad, and not Jesus. But some Christians claim that Isaac had also two sons, Esau and Jacob, who was later called Israel. As Moses was the descendant of Israel, this prophecy could be talking about Jesus, who could be among the children of Israel's brethren. So if Jesus was a descendant of Esau that would classify him as the brethren of the Israelities. First of all, we must know that the genealogy of Jesus written in Matthew is false. Because Jesus was the son of Mary and he is not related to Joseph at all. Secondly, Mary is the daughter of 'Imran, whose lineage extends to Aaron, who is a Levite. Levites are grandsons of Levi, one of the twelve sons of Jacob. So, Mary, as well, is an Israelite, and Jesus has nothing to do with Esau, the brother of Jacob. "Their brethren" could refer only to the descendants of Ishmael." 3. God puts His Words into the mouth of Muhammad The Quran itself is a miracle. Because we know as a fact that Muhammad (sawa) was unlettered and uneducated. He could neither write nor read. The way the revelation came to Prophet Muhammad (sawa) was that Gabriel would come to him and dictate to him and then Muhammad would simply recites what was said to him. Muhammad was not the author of the Quran, as many people make this mistake. He is not the author of the Quran, nor did he it, and he was not even using his own intellect and knowledge when he recited the Quran. He was simply repeating what Gabriel was saying. This is not a hidden secret. It continued for 23 years in the presence of hundreds of followers and that the Quran was committed directly to memory in his presence as well as in writing. What could be a more beautiful explanation of the phrase "put My words in his mouth"? That God was putting the words in the mouth of Prophet Muhammad; that he was repeating what was exactly dictated to him. Jesus received the revelation. But he spoke in his own words. Only the Quran contains the very word of God. He talks to us directly through the Quran. My opponent was a Muslim one day. So he probably understands what I am talking about. And this is exactly what the Quran says, "By the star when it descends, Your companion [Muhammad] has not strayed, nor has he erred, Nor does he speak from his own inclination. It is not but a revelation revealed," (the Quran 53:1-4) My opponent was Muslim one day. So he knows that the Quran contains 114 chapters called Surah and 113 of these chapters start with "In the name of Allah" (Bismillahi ar-Rahman ar-Raheem). And this is exactly what the Torah says: "I myself will call to account anyone who does not listen to my words that the prophet speaks in my name. But a prophet who presumes to speak in my name anything I have not commanded, or a prophet who speaks in the name of other gods, is to be put to death.'" (Deuteronomy 18:19-20) Prophet Muhammad (sawa) recited the Quran in the name of God, just as Prophet Moses foretold. So each Christian MUST LISTEN TO Muhammad (sawa), as Moses ordered them to do so. "You must listen to him." (Deuteronomy 18:15) The Quran and even the authentic parts of the Bible prove that this prophecy is about Prophet Muhammad. In my next argument, I will present historical evidence about Kedarities and mention more prophecies about Prophet Muhammad to confirm this one.
