The Holy Bible mentioned Prophet Muhammad SAW

Shaik Muhammad Yahiya An ardent learner of Theology. 97w ago The Prophecy of the coming of a "Messenger" after Jesus Christ(pbuh):- PBUH- Peace Be Upon Him John 14:16:- Jesus Christ said "And I will pray the father, he shall send another comforter, that he may abide with you" John 15:26:- Jesus Christ said "And when the comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the father, even the spirit of truth, who proceedeth from the father, he shall testify me". John 16:12–14:- Again Jesus Christ said " I have many things to say unto you but you cannot bear them now. How be it, when he the spirit of truth is come, he will guide you unto all truth, he shall not speak of himself, but whatsoever he shall hear, that he shall speak, he shall show you things to come. He shall glorify me." The above verses clearly refer to Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) as he was the the only religious figure after Jesus Christ who testified Jesus Christ as an article of faith. He 'glorified' Jesus Christ and Muslims are the only other people who believe in Jesus Christ. No Muslim is a Muslim if he doesn't believe in Jesus Christ. . . . . But as a Mighty Messenger of God and not as Son of God. The following verse confirms that the comforter being prophesied is indeed Prophet Muhammad. Again, Isaiah 29:12 :- " And the book is delivered to him who is not learned, saying read this, I pray thee, and he saith, I am not learned". When angel Gabriel commanded Prophet Muhammad by saying 'Iqra' meaning 'read', Prophet Muhammad replied ' I am not learned'. These lines are the first verses of the Qur'an which were revealed upon Prophet Muhammad(pbuh).

This is my beloved, this is my friend, daughters of Jerusalem. The word ‘altogether lovely’ in the original Hebrew text is מחמד, which is read ‘Mahammad’. Here’s the Song of Solomon 5:16 being recited by a Rabbi in Hebrew. Skip to 2:30 : http://www.mechon-mamre.org/mp3/... John 16:7–11 : Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you. 8 And when he comes, he will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment: 9 concerning sin, because they do not believe in me; 10 concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father, and you will see me no longer; 11 concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged. John 16:12–14 : “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 unto 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." John 14:16–17 : "And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you." John 14:26 : But the Helper, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you. Who is this Helper that Jesus say, will come after he’s gone? Genesis 49:10 : The scepter shall not depart from Judah, Nor a lawgiver from between his feet, Until Shiloh comes; And to Him shall be the obedience of the people. Some writers, like David Benjamin, believe that the Hebrew word Shiloh is actually a distortion of the Hebrew word "Shaluh" which means "Apostle/Messenger/One to be sent" or of the Hebrew word "Shiluah" which means "Apostle of God". This verse says that there will come a Prophet who will take away the kingship and prophethood from the Tribe of Judah. Jesus was from the lineage of Judah. It clearly refers to someone who came after Jesus and is not from the Tribe of Judah. 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. This verse refers to the Prophet Muhammad’s first divine revelation, when Archangel Gabriel appeared before him and said, “Read”, upon which he replied, “I am not learned”. Isaiah 42:1–4 : "Behold! My Servant, whom I uphold; My Elect One, in whom My soul delights! I have put My Spirit upon Him; He will bring forth justice to the Gentiles. 2 He shall not cry out, nor raise His voice, nor cause His voice to be heard in the street. 3 A bruised reed shall He not break, and smoking flax shall He not quench. In truth He shall bring forth justice. 4 He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till He has established justice in the earth; and the islands shall wait for His law." The first verse begins with: "Behold my Servant, whom I uphold; mine Elect...". The Hebrew word which was translated to "whom I uphold" is "אתמך"(Etmokh). This word never appears anywhere in the entire Bible except here.Muslim authors, pointing to the similarity between the writing of "אתמך"(etmokh) and the writing of "אחמד" which is the name Ahmad, suggested that an intended distortion might have been done by the scribes of Scripture in the first verse of this chapter in order to hide the name of the Chosen Servant of God which is "אחמד" (Ahmad). Isaiah 42:10-13 : Sing unto the Lord a new song, and His praise from the ends of the earth, you who go down to the sea, and all that is therein, the islands, and the inhabitants thereof! 11 Let the wilderness and its cities lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar inhabits. Let the inhabitants of Sela sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains. 12 Let them give glory to the Lord, and declare His praise in the islands. 13 The Lord shall go forth like a mighty man; He shall stir up jealousy like a man of war: He shall cry, yea, roar; He shall prevail against His enemies. Isaiah 42:13 is believed to be a prophecy of the Muslim conquests. "The new song" is often interpreted as a reference to the Arabic Qur'an or to the Adhan "the Islamic call to prayer". The Islands could be a reference to Indonesia and Malaysia. The mention of Mount Sela‘ "the mountain of Medina" and the mention of Kedar "the forefather of Muhammad", in verse 11, is also considered by Muslims to be a proof. Habakkuk 3:3 : God will come from the south, and the holy one from mount Pharan: His glory covered the heavens, and the earth is full of his praise. Since there is no connection between Jesus and Mount Pharan "the Mount of Ishmael"(near Mecca), Muslims argue that the "holy one" in this verse is Muhammad. A detailed video on Song of Solomon 5:16 Cyril R. A. J. Chelliah Ph.D. Nanotechnology, Karunya University (2018) 44w ago There are three primary passages in the Bible that Muslims often point to as prophecies of the coming of Muhammad: Deuteronomy 18:15-22, Song of Solomon 5:16, and John 16:5-11. First, in regards to Deuteronomy 18:15-22, the immediate context of this passage refers back to verses 9-14. There Moses warns the people of the danger of false prophets. God's people are to avoid any and all who presume to speak authoritatively about spiritual truth apart from God’s truth. What is God’s truth? Verse 15 says a particular prophet will arise from the Jews (i.e., “your own brothers”) who will be like Moses. Notice that it's not just any prophet, as there have been many, but a special prophet. People who studied and believed the Old Testament writings were looking for this particular, special prophet. In fact, some Jewish leaders thought the fiery preacher John the Baptist might be the fulfillment of Moses' prophecy (see John 1:19-30). John the Baptist, however, said that he was the forerunner of the prophet of whom Moses spoke, not the prophet Himself. Who then is this prophet spoken of in the Bible? He is clearly none other than the Lord Jesus Christ. John 1:43-45 records that the early followers of Jesus understood He was the prophet of whom Moses wrote. Jesus Himself declared this about Himself (Luke 24:27). The most complete statement pointing to Jesus as the promised prophet is found in Acts 3:12-26. The deacon, Stephen, reiterated this in Acts 7:37. Such notable men as John the Baptist, Philip, Peter, and Stephen all testified that Jesus Christ, not Muhammad, is the prophet predicted in Deuteronomy 18:15-22. Second, in Song of Solomon 5:16, the maiden says of her lover, 'His mouth is sweetness itself; he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, this is my friend, daughters of Jerusalem.' The word translated as 'lovely' is the Hebrew word machamadim. It is the plural of machamad, which means “lovely, cute, or desirable.” Although it is the root word of Muhammad, it does not follow that the verse refers to Muhammad, especially since the word used is a plural adjective, not the name of a person. Finally, in John 16:5-11, Jesus prophesies that after He leaves, the Counselor will come, and this Counselor will “convict the world of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment” (John 16:8). Who is this Counselor? Jesus Himself gives the answer a few verses later in John 16:13, “But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth…” Jesus explicitly identifies the Counselor as the Holy Spirit. Jesus previously had used very similar terminology to predict the coming of the Holy Spirit: “But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name…” (John 14:26). It is abundantly clear in the Bible that the Counselor Jesus prophesied was the Holy Spirit, not Muhammad. In conclusion, the Bible nowhere specifically predicts the coming of Muhammad. Muhammad was not the prophet Moses predicted, and Muhammad was not the Counselor Jesus predicted. Since the message of Muhammad contradicts the message of Jesus and the Bible on many points, the only biblical prophecy that would apply to the coming of Muhammad would be Matthew 24:11, “And many false prophets will appear and deceive many people…” John Snow Scrub Tech. Crcst. Saudi Arabia 46w ago Muhammad in Song of Solomon 5:16? The Qur'an puts Muslim apologists in a difficult position by claiming that the Bible contains clear prophecies about Muhammad (see Qur'an 7:157 and 61:6). Muslim writers, speakers, and debaters have had nearly fourteen centuries to find these prophecies, so if they can't show us where the Bible talks about Muhammad, we can only conclude that the Qur'an is wrong when it appeals to the Bible for support. Some of the arguments our Muslim friends use seem to be based on sheer desperation. For instance, popular Muslim apologists like Zakir Naik and Shabir Ally claim that Muhammad is mentioned by name in Song of Solomon 5:16. Zakir Naik writes: Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is mentioned by name in the Song of Solomon chapter 5 verse 16: "Hikko Mamittakim we kullo Muhammadim Zehdoodeh wa Zehraee Bayna Jerusalem." "His mouth is most sweet: yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem." In the Hebrew language -im is added for respect. Similarly -im is added after the name of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) to make it Muhammadim. In English translation they have even translated the name of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) as "altogether lovely", but in the Old Testament in Hebrew, the name of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is yet present. Now what remains is for us to specify where in the Bible to find mention of our prophet. In the Old Testament there are many references. The most significant is Song of Solomon, chapter 5, verse 16. This verse mentions our prophet by name. It says in the Hebrew language Bibles "He is Muhammad." But English translations have "He is altogether lovely" instead of the real truth. You need to insist that, since it says our prophet's name in the Hebrew, the "altogether lovely" translation is nothing more than a camouflage hiding our prophet's name. Tell every Bible reader whether Jew or Christian to ask any Hebrew scholar to read the Hebrew word which appears as "altogether lovely" in the translation. You will hear that word pronounced "Muhammad." Why then hide what you should believe? For anyone who has read Song of Solomon, this is an amazing verse to cite as evidence for Islam! Song of Solomon is a short poetic book about a loving, physical relationship between Solomon and his bride (there are a variety of interpretations, but none will help turn this into a prophecy about Muhammad). Some Muslims claim that this book can't be the Word of God, because of the way Solomon and his bride talk about each other's bodies. For example, in chapter 7, verses 1-3, Solomon says to his bride: How beautiful your sandaled feet, O prince's daughter!  Your graceful legs are like jewels, the work of an artist's hands. Your navel is a rounded goblet that never lacks blended wine. Your waist is a mound of wheat encircled by lilies. Your breasts are like two fawns, like twin fawns of a gazelle. Solomon continues praising her body. And yet Muslims go to this book to find a prophecy about Muhammad! Let's turn to chapter 5, which supposedly mentions Muhammad by name. In the first verse of the chapter, Solomon says: I have come into my garden, my sister, my bride; I have gathered my myrrh with my spice. I have eaten my honeycomb and my honey; I have drunk my wine and my milk. Solomon talks about drinking wine. But again, Muslims go to this chapter to find a prophecy about Muhammad! Let's read the so-called prophecy of Muhammad in context. In verse 8, Solomon's bride says to her friends, "Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you—if you find my beloved, what will you tell him? Tell him I am faint with love." Her friends respond in verse 9 by asking her, "How is your beloved better than others, most beautiful of women?" She answers them in verses 10 through 16. Let's read the passage and see if we can spot the prophecy about Muhammad. Solomon's bride says: My beloved is radiant and ruddy, outstanding among ten thousand. His head is purest gold; his hair is wavy and black as a raven. His eyes are like doves by the water streams,  washed in milk, mounted like jewels. His cheeks are like beds of spice yielding perfume. His lips are like lilies dripping with myrrh. His arms are rods of gold set with topaz. His body is like polished ivory decorated with lapis lazuli. His legs are pillars of marble set on bases of pure gold.  His appearance is like Lebanon, choice as its cedars. His mouth is sweetness itself; he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, this is my friend, daughters of Jerusalem. This last verse, according to our Muslim friends, is somehow about Muhammad. Why should we interpret this verse as a prophecy about Muhammad? Muslims reason that, since the Hebrew for "altogether lovely" is machmadim, and machmadim sounds somewhat similar to the name "Muhammad," the verse is actually referring to Muhammad by name. (Note: Zakir Naik claims that the suffix -im is "added for respect" in Hebrew, but this is sheer nonsense. The suffix -im is added to form the plural, which may be a plural of intensity, i.e., "altogether." But let's forgive this blunder and pretend that the word used is the singular "machmad," which is closer to "Muhammad.") So Song of Solomon 5:16 should be translated: His mouth is sweetness itself; he is Muhammad. This is my beloved, this is my friend, daughters of Jerusalem. Notice a couple of points here. First, this is Solomon's bride talking. So if Solomon's bride is delivering a prophecy about Muhammad, then she is a prophetess, according to our Muslim friends (unless the author of Song of Solomon is merely portraying her as a prophetess). Second, the bride is praising a man's body. This makes perfect sense if she's talking about her husband. But if our Muslim friends insist that she's talking about Muhammad, they're accusing Solomon's bride of lusting after another man (Muhammad) in a vision given to her by God. Third, if 5:16 is about Muhammad, then Solomon's wife calls Muhammad her "beloved." But in chapter 7, verse 10, she says, "I belong to my beloved, and his desire is for me." Since Muhammad is her beloved (according to the Islamic interpretation), she declares in 7:10 that she belongs to Muhammad and that Muhammad desires her. How did Solomon's bride belong to Muhammad? Why would Muhammad desire a woman who had been dead for more than fifteen centuries? Either Song of Solomon is an extremely troubling story about a time-traveling adulterous love affair between Solomon's bride and Muhammad, or the book simply has nothing to do with Muhammad. But things get worse for our Muslim friends. The word machmad is used in many places in the Old Testament. It refers to something pleasing, treasured, or lovely. So if machmad is actually Muhammad's name, we need to be consistent and say that wherever the word machmad is used, it's referring to Muhammad. Let's consider two passages that use the word machmad and see what happens if we translate the word as "Muhammad." In Ezekiel 24:16, Ezekiel's wife is called "machmad," because she's treasured by Ezekiel. So if machmad means "Muhammad," Muhammad must have been Ezekiel's wife! Is that what any Muslim believes? Of course not. So why do Muslims keep telling us that machmad means "Muhammad"? Just five verses later in Ezekiel, God tells the children of Israel that Jerusalem will be conquered and that the temple will be destroyed. He says, "I am about to desecrate my sanctuary—the stronghold in which you take pride, the delight of your eyes" (Ezekiel 24:21). The word "delight" here is machmad. So if machmad is the name "Muhammad," God is promising to desecrate Muhammad! Is that what Shabir Ally and Zakir Naik want us to believe God is saying? (For further uses of machmad, see 1 Kings 20:6; 2 Chronicles 36:19; Lamentations 1:10-11; 2:4; Isaiah 64:11; Ezekiel 24:25; Hosea 9:6; and Joel 3:5.) This is what happens when Muslim apologists try to force Muhammad into the Bible. They go to a passage in which Solomon's bride is praising her husband's body, and they expect us to believe that she's actually having adulterous thoughts about a future prophet. Shabir Ally and Zakir Naik take a perfectly normal Hebrew word and try to transform it into a prophecy of Muhammad, but in doing so they end up claiming that Muhammad was Ezekiel's wife and that God promises to desecrate him! Since Shabir calls Song of Solomon 5:16 the "most significant" reference to Muhammad in the entire Old Testament, we can only wonder how persuasive the rest are!

What does the telephone book from 1950 say about your current phone number? Nothing? Maybe because you haven’t been alive back then? There you go. The Bible was written centuries before Muhammad was even born. Therefore it says nothing about him. Abuh Alam 285w ago Yes, Muhammad (pbuh) was mentioned in the Bible and Old Testament. Muhammad (pbuh) is prophesised in the book of Isaiah: It is mentioned in the book of Isaiah chapter 29 verse 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.” When Archangel Gabrail commanded Muhammad (pbuh) by saying Iqra – “Read”, he replied, “I am not learned”. So this verse is talking about Muhammad (pbuh) as he was not learned, and the first word revealed to him was 'read' just as the verse mentioned. Here is another verse from the Bible: "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 18:18) In this verse, God is telling Moses that there will be a prophet 'like unto thee', which means that there will be a prophet like Moses. Who is this referring to? Jesus is like Moses because he was also a Jew and a prophet. However, that means that this verse could also apply to Solomon, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Hosea, Joel, Malachi, John the Baptist etc., because they were also ALL 'Jews' as well as 'prophets'. This verse is not referring to Jesus as him and Moses only have two similarities. This verse is referring to Muhammad (pbuh) because he was like Moses. Here are a few reasons why Muhammad was like Moses (peace be upon them both): 1. Moses had a father and mother. Muhammad (pbuh) had a father and a mother. Jesus only had a mother. 2. Muhammad and Moses were both born in the normal, natural course. But Jesus was created by a special miracle (Gospel of St. Matthew 1:18) 3. Muhammad and Moses married women and begot children, but Jesus remained unmarried. 4.  Moses and Muhammad were accepted as prophets by their people although they went through hardships. But Jesus was rejected by his people (John 1:11). 5. Muhammad and Moses both brought new laws, but Jesus did not (Mathew 5: 17-18). 6. Muhammad and Moses both died natural deaths, but according to Christianity Jesus was killed on the cross. 7. Muhammad and Moses both lie buried in earth, but Jesus rests in the Heavens. 8. Muhammad and Moses were both spiritual and national leaders, Jesus was only a spiritual leader. 9. Muhammad and Moses were both victorious morally and spiritually, Jesus had a spiritual victory. Therefore Jesus is not like Moses but Muhammad is like Moses, (Peace be upon them all) The above verse also says 'From among their brethren'. Moses and his people, the Jews, are addressed as a racial entity, and as such their brethren are the Arabs. 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; they are brethren to one another. The children of Isaac are the brethren of the Ishmaelites. Muhammad (pbuh) is from the brethren of the Israelites because he was a descendant of Ishmael. The prophecy mentions that the coming prophet who would be like Moses, must NOT arise from the 'Children of Israel' or from 'among themselves'but from their brethren. Muhammad (pbuh) therefore was among their brethren and he was the prophet mentioned in the prophecy. Muhammad is also mentioned by NAME in the Hebrew Bible and Songs of Solomon. Robert Gibbs 11w ago Muhammad lived in he ninth century 700 years after the writing of the Bible was completed. Muhammad believed that both the Jews and Christians had failed to be faithful to God. He was not wrong, the Jews had rejected God’s son and had lost their nation to the Romans, and the great apostasy Jesus foretold had taken hold of the Churches of Christianson who had adopted pagan teachings and abandoned obedience to Christ. 2 Peter 2:1 — However, there also came to be false prophets among the people, as there will also be false teachers among you. These very ones will quietly bring in destructive sects and will disown even the owner that bought them, bringing speedy destruction upon themselves. Muhammad said he received a new teaching conveyed to him by angel. But Galatians 1:8 had warned that any teaching beyond what Jesus taught should be rejected even if it came from an angel. Galatians 1:8 — However, even if we or an angel out of heaven were to declare to you as good news something beyond the good news we declared to you, let him be accursed. 2 Corinthians 11:14 — And no wonder, for Satan himself keeps transforming himself into an angel of light. S H 46w ago BIBLICAL PROPHECY ON THE ADVENT OF MUHAMMAD (peace be upon him) John 14:15-16— “If you love me, keep my commandments. And I will pray the Father and He shall give you another Comforter that he may abide with you forever.” Muslim theologians have said that “another Comforter” is Muhammad (PBUH), the Messenger of Allah; and him to “abide forever” means the perpetuity of his laws and way of life (Shari ‘ah) and the Book (Quran) which was revealed to him. John 15:26-27 — “But when die Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me: And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning.” John 16:5-8 — “But now I go my way to Him that sent me and none of you asketh me ‘Whither goest thou?’ But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart. Nevertheless I tell you the truth; 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 approve righteousness and judgment.” John 16:12-14 — “l have yet many things to say unto you. but you cannot bear them now. How be it 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 he shall shew it unto you.” John 16:l6— “A little while and ye shall not see me: and again a little while, ye shall see me, because I go to the Father.” Muslim theologians have stated that the person who is described by Jesus to come after him — in the above verses — does not comply with any other person but Muhammad (Peace be upon Him) the Messenger of Allah. This ‘person’ whom Jesus prophesied will come after him is called in the Bible ‘Parqaleeta’. This word was deleted by later interpreters and translators and changed at times to ‘Spirit of Truth’, and at other times, to ‘Comforter’ and sometimes to ‘Holy Spirit’. The original word is Greek and its meaning is ‘one whom people praise exceedingly.’ The sense of the word is applicable to the word ‘Muhammad’ (in Arabic). Original siteon Quora
