Muhammad (PBUH) in the Bible
Ahmad in the Bible:
(John 14:16) And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for
ever.
In the above verse, Jesus (PBUH) clearly predicted about coming of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). The word
"Comforter" is translated from the word "Paraclete" ("Ho Parakletos" in Greek). Parakletos in Greek is interpreted
as "Admirable One" which translated word is "Ahmad" and in the Holy Quran God also says that He predicted
about the Last Prophet using the word "Ahmad":
(Quran 61:6) And remember Jesus the Son of Mary said: "O Children of Israel! I am the Apostle of Allah (sent) to
you confirming the Law (which came) before me, and giving glad Tidings of an Apostle to come after me whose
name shall be Ahmad." But when he came to them with Clear Signs they said "This is evident sorcery!"
The Bible also gives us further information about the Comforter (Ahmad) in the following verse:
(John 15:28) But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, which
proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me.
We all know that before becoming Prophet, Muhammad (PBUH) had a great fame about his truthfulness. Even
when he gathered his tribesmen to deliver them the Divine message, first he asked all of them that "what kind of
person I am?" They all replied that "You are noble & true person"
(John 14:26) But the Comforter, (which is) the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach
you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
Indeed Muhammad (PBUH) brought all things to the remembrance of Bible-followers, which they had already lost
in their Scriptures. He brought remembrance that God is One, He does not have a Son.
(John 16: 7-14) Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the
Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. And when he is come, he will reprove
the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: Of sin, because they believe not on me; Of
righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; Of judgment, because the prince of this
world is judged. I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the
Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall
hear, (that) shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine,
and shall shew (it) unto you.
In the above verses Jesus (PBUH) clearly said that he had many things to tell his disciples, but they were unable
to understand Jesus' words. And he also said that the Comforter will not speak of himself, but whatsoever he will
hear, he will describe it. Now take a look, what Quran says about this matter:
(Al-Quran 53:3-5) HE DOES NOT SPEAK (AUGHT), OF (HIS OWN) DESIRE: IT IS NO LESS THAN INSPIRATION
SENT DOWN TO HIM: HE WAS TAUGHT BY ONE MIGHTY IN POWER.
Jesus (PBUH) also predicted about the Muslim nation in the following verse:
(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.
In the above verse Jesus predicted that the kingdom of God would be taken from Jews & will be given to a nation.
And after Jesus (PBUH) no other nation, but only Muslims took the kingdom from the Jews.
Prophet Like Moses (PBUH).
(Deuteronomy 18:18) 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.
In the above verses, God is talking to Moses (PBUH), and saying that He will raise a Prophet like him (Moses).
Christians take it as the prediction about Jesus (PBUH). But there are many facts, which prove that Jesus (PBUH)
was not like Moses (PBUH), so in the above verse God didn't predicted about Jesus (PBUH), but another prophet.
Now I compare both Jesus & Muhammad (PBUT) with Moses (PBUH):
1: Christians take Jesus as the Son of God, while both Jews & Muslims don't take Moses & Muhammad as Sons
of God, but only prophets.
2. Christians say that Jesus died for the sins of the world. But both Jews & Muslims don't think that about Moses
& Muhammad.
3. The first alphabet of the name of Jesus, starts with J, but both Moses & Muhammad's named starts with the
same alphabet (in all languages their names start with the same alphabet).
4. Jesus' birth was a miracle, but both Moses & Muhammad had a normal birth.
5. Jesus didn't have a biological father, but both Moses & Muhammad had biological fathers.
6. Jesus never had marriage ties, didn't have children. But both Moses & Muhammad married & had children.
7. Jesus never migrated, but both Moses & Muhammad migrated. Moses migrated after killing a person, and
Muhammad from Makka to Madina. And after some years, both Moses & Muhammad returned to their homelands
(i.e. Egypt & Makka).
8. Jesus' own people didn't receieve him. Bible says:
(John 1:11) He (Jesus) came unto his own, but his own received him not.
But the people of Moses & Muhammad received them both.
9. After getting prophethood from God, both Moses & Muhammad first went to their wives & their wives were the
first to accept them as prophet. But Jesus never had a wife.
10. Both Moses & Muhammad were rulers as well as prophets. But Jesus wasn't a ruler at all.
11. Both Moses & Muhammad brought New Laws, but Jesus didn't bring New Law.
12. Both Moses & Muhammad introduced capital punishments for the criminals, but Jesus didn't.
13. Both Moses & Muhammad had worldly kingdoms, but Jesus did not.
Bible says:
(John 18:36) Jesus answered, "My kingdom is not of this world; if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now is my kingdom not from hence.
14. Both Moses & Muhammad died natural death, but Jesus were violently crucified. .
15. Both Moses & Muhammad are buried in earth after death. But Jesus was ascended.
So now it is proved that Jesus was not like Moses, but Muhammad (PBUH) was like Moses (PBUH).
The Jewish Priests knew about Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
At Jesus' time, Jewish Priests were well aware of the coming prophet, about whom their earlier prophets predicted:
(John 1:19- 21) And this is the record 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 though Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered No.
Jewish Priest asked Jesus (PBUH) that "are you that prophet?" & Jesus (PBUH) replied "No". It shows that both
Jewish Priests & Jesus (PBUH) were aware of the coming of another prophet.
Ishmael's (PBUH) Great Nation.
In Dueteronomy 18:18 is written, a prophet from their brethren. Note that Abraham had two wives - Sarah and
Hagar. Hagar bore Abraham a son - HIS FIRST-BORN- '......And Abraham called HIS SON'S name, which Hagar
bare Ishmael.' (Genesis 16:15). 'And Abraham took Ishmael HIS SON......' (Genesis 17:23). 'And Ishmael HIS SON was thirteen years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.'(Genesis 17:25). Up to the age of THIRTEEN Ishmael was the ONLY son and seed of Abraham, when the covenant was ratified between God and Abraham. God grants Abraham another son through Sarah, named Isaac, who was very much the junior to
his brother Ishmael.
If Ishmael and Isaac are the sons of the same father Abraham, then they are brothers. And so the children of the
one are the BRETHREN of the children of the other. The children of Isaac are the Jews and the Children of
Ishmael are the Arabs - so they are BRETHREN to one another. The Bible affirms, 'AND HE (ISHMAEL) SHALL
DWELL IN THE PRESENCE OF ALL HIS BRETHREN.' (Genesis 16:12). 'AND HE (ISHMAEL) DIED IN THE
PRESENCE OF ALL HIS BRETHREN.(Genesis 25:18). The children of Isaac are the brethren of the Ishmaelites.
In like manner Muhammad (PBUH) is from among the brethren of the Israelites because he was a descendant of
Ishmael the son of Abraham. This exactly as the prophecy has it- 'FROM AMONG THEIR BRETHREN'.(Deut.18:18). There the prophecy distinctly mentions that the coming prophet who would be like
Moses, must arise NOT from the 'children of Israel' or from 'among themselves', but from among their brethren.
Muhammad (PBUH) was from among there brethren.
The other point in Dueteronomy 18:18, is that I WILL PUT MY WORDS IN HIS MOUTH. The Holy Quran affirms it:
(Quran 53:3-5) HE DOES NOT SPEAK (AUGHT), OF (HIS OWN) DESIRE: IT IS NO LESS THAN INSPIRATION
SENT DOWN TO HIM:
Kedar.
(Genesis 25:13-15) And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their
generations: the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebajoth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam, And Mishma, and Dumah,
and Massa, Hadar, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.
(Ezekiel 27:21) Arabia, and all the prices of Kedar, they occupied with thee in lambs, and rams, and goats, in
these (were they) thy merchants.
Kedar was one of the forefathers of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) & his lineage is:
Abraham, Ishmael, Kedar, Adnan (40th descendant from Kedar) Ma'aad, Nizar, Mudar, Ilyas, Mudrikah,
Khuzaimah, Kinanah, Al-Nadr, Malik, Quraysh (Fihr), Ghalib, Lu'ayy, Ka';ab, Murrah, Kilab, Qusayy, Abd Manaf,
Hashim, Abdul Muttalib, Abdullah, Muhammad(PBUH)
(Isaiah 42: 11-12) 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. Let them give glory unto their
Lord and declare his praise in the islands.
(Isaiah 60: 1-7) Arise, Shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee, 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. And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and the kings to the brightness of thy rising.
Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to thee: thy sons shall
come from far and thy daughters shall be nursed at thy side, then thou shalt see, and flow together, and thine
heart shall fear, and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee, the forces of
the Gentiles shall come unto thee. 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 and 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 alter, and I will glorify the house of my glory.
It were the gentiles who responded to Muhammad's (PBUH) calling and make up the vast majority of those who
profess Islam. The "house of my glory" refers to the Ka'ba, in Makka, which is called the House of God and was
built by Abraham and Ishmael.
(Isaiah 21:16-17) 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. And the residue of the number of archers, the mighty men of the children of Kedar
shall be diminished: for the Lord of Israel has spoken it.
The children of Kedar or the army of the Prophet Muhammad will be defeated at some point according to the
above verse. This happened at the battle of Uhud, but after that the religion of Islam spread among many
nations, fulfilling the prophecy in the previous verse "the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee."
The word "Muhammad" in the Hebrew Bible.
(Song of Solomon 5:16) His mouth is most sweet. Yea, he is altogether lovely (Mahammuddim) This is my
beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.
It is difficult to miss the obvious resemblance of the above verse with the name"Muhammad." The translation into
the phrase "altogether lovely"has been substituted and changed in many Bibles. The extra "im" in Hebrew
stands for extra respect and status such as in "Elohim", a royal plural in Hebrew.
The Story of the First Revelation on the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in the Bible:
The Old Testament contains a strange verse, which described the exact event of first revelation on prophet
Muhammad (PBUH) in the cave of Hira:
(ISAIAH 29:12) AND THE VISION OF ALL IS BECOME UNTO YOU AS THE WORDS OF A BOOK THAT IS
SEALED, WHICH (MEN) DELIVER TO ONE THAT IS LEARNED, SAYING, READ THIS, I PRAY THEE, AND HE
SAITH, I CAN NOT, FOR IT (IS) SEALED. AND THE BOOK IS DELIVERED TO HIM THAT IS NOT LEARNED,
SAYING READ THIS, I PRAY THEE, AND HE SAITH, I AM NOT LEARNED.
Note that in the above two verses Bible affirms that it is asked twice to him READ & the person twice answers I
AM NOT LEARNED. The above two verses of the Bible really foretold the greatest event on earth. It is the event
when Gabriel comes to Muhammad, saying him: READ, he answers, I CAN'T READ, I AM NOT LEARNED, Gabriel
again says: READ, he again answers I CAN NOT, I AM NOT LEARNED. And the Third time Gabriel hugs him &
delivers the first revelation of Sura Iqra:
(Quran 96:1-5) READ! IN THE NAME OF THE LORD AND CHERISHER, WHO CREATED MAN, FROM A (MERE)
CLOT OF CONGEALED BLOOD: READ! AND THY LORD IS MOST BOUNTIFUL, HE WHO TAUGHT (THE USE
OF) THE PEN, TAUGHT MAN THAT WHICH HE KNEW NOT.
The Story of Conquer of Makka by Muhammad (PBUH) in the Bible.
The Old Testament also predicted about Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH) conquering Makka, when he leaves
Madina with ten thousand companions:
(Deuteronomy 33:2) And he said, The LORD came from Si'-nai, and rose up from Seir unto them; he shined
forth from mount Paran, and he came with ten thousands of saints: from his right hand went a fiery law for them.
In the above verse the word "Paran" is used, so let's search for that place's signs furthermore in the Bible:
(Genesis 21:21) And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran, and his mother took him a wife out the land of Egypt.
The above verse is the part of the story of Prophet Abraham (PBUH) when he leaves his wife & son in the desert
(Paran), so Paran is nothing else but "Makka".
Two other verses in the Old Testament also give us the event of conquering Makka:
(Jude 1:14-15) And Enoch also, the seventh generation from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the
Lord came with ten thousands of his saints, to execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly
among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard [speeches] which
ungodly sinners have spoken against him.
Prophet Isaiah also predicted both about Jesus & Muhammad:
(Isaiah 21:7) And he saw a chariot with a couple of horsemen, a chariot of asses, and a chariot of camels; and he
hearkened diligently with much heed:
Who are the "couple of horsemen"? They are Jesus and Muhammad (PBUT). Following is the proof:
(John 12:14) And Jesus, when he had found a young ass, sat thereon; as it is written.
So the camel rider is no one else but Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
Prophet Ezekiel's future vision about Ka'ba:
(Ezekiel 40:1- ) In the five and twentieth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, in the tenth day of the
month, in the fourteenth year after that the city was smitten, in the selfsame day the hand of the LORD was upon
me, and brought me thither. In the visions of God brought he me into the land of Israel, and set me upon a very
high mountain, by which was as the frame of a city on the south.
Makka is south of the land of Israel.
(Ezekiel 42:15-20) Now when he had made an end of measuring the inner house, he brought me forth toward
the gate whose prospect is toward the east, and measured it round about. He measured the east side with the
measuring reed, five hundred reeds, with the measuring reed round about. He measured the north side, five
hundred reeds, with the measuring reed round about. He measured the south side, five hundred reeds, with the
measuring reed. He turned about to the west side, and measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed.
He measured it by the four sides: it had a wall round about, five hundred reeds long, and five hundred broad, to
make a separation between the sanctuary and the profane place.
The above verses describe the shape of the place as square.
(Ezekiel 41:4 ) So he measured the length thereof, twenty cubits; and the breadth, twenty cubits, before the
temple: and he said unto me, This is the most holy place.
(Ezekiel 47:1 ) Afterward he brought me again unto the door of the house; and, behold, waters issued out from
under the threshold of the house eastward: for the forefront of the house stood toward the east, and the waters
came down from under from the right side of the house, at the south side of the altar.
The above verse describes Zam Zam water.
(Ezekiel 44:17 ) And it shall come to pass, that when they enter in at the gates of the inner court, they shall be
clothed with linen garments; and no wool shall come upon them, whiles they minister in the gates of the inner
court, and within.
The above verse describes the Ehram (Muslim pilgrimage dress).
Some people argue that Ezekiel's description is not about the Ka'ba, but about the Holy Temple of Solomon. For
their information, the description of the Temple of Solomon is given in 1:Kings 6:3-13, and that description is
quite different from Ezekiel's description. So it is clear that Ezekiel described another very holy place on earth,
but not the temple, and that holy place is not else but the holy Ka'ba.
