MUHAMMAD IN THE BIBLE

Some of the important prophecies from the Bible are as follows:
Old Testament:
The Lord thy God will raise up unto thee a prophet from the midst of theeof  thy brethrenlike unto meunto him ye shall hearken.”
And the Lord said unto meThey have well spoken that which they have spokenI will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethrenlike unto theeand will put MyWords in his  mouthand he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.’”
(Deuteronomy 18:15, 17, 18)
The above prophecy clearly indicates that the promised prophet will be from among the Ishmaelists as the Israelites as a whole are being addressed here and they are told that the promised prophet would be raised from amongst their brethren (i.e. the Ishmaelists).
Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was in many ways similar to Prophet Moses (peace be upon him). Both were born of parents, both were married, both were accepted as Prophets by their people in their lifetime, both received scriptures, both brought new rules and regulations for their people, and both died a natural death.
And the book is delivered to him that is not learnedsayingRead thisI pray theeand he saithI am not learned.”
(Book of Isaiah 29:12)
When Archangel Gabriel commanded Prophet Muhammad by saying “Iqra”- “Read”, he replied, “I am not learned.”
New Testament:
Nevertheless I tell you the truthIt is expedient for you that I go awayfor if I go not awaythe Comforter will not come unto youbut if I departI will send him unto you.”
(Gospel of John 16:7)
Some Christians say that the Comforter mentioned here refers to the Holy Spirit. They fail to realise that the prophecy clearly says that only if Jesus departs will the Comforter come. The Bible states that the Holy Spirit was already present on earth before and during the time of Jesus, in the womb of Elizabeth, and again when Jesus was baptised, etc. Hence the prophecy refers to none other than Prophet Muhammad.
I have yet many things to say unto youbut ye cannot bear them nowHowbeit  when hethe Spirit of Truth is comehe will guide you unto all truthfor he shall  not speak of himselfbut whatsoever he shall hearthat shall he speakand he will  shew you things to comeHe shall glorify me.”
(Gospel of John 16:12–14)
The Spirit of Truth, spoken about in this prophecy refers to none other than Prophet Muhammad. And the Holy Qur’an bears a testimony to the glorification of Jesus as he actually was in his lifetime,- a God-fearing humble prophet.
So all the true followers of Moses (pbuh) and Jesus (pbuh) should pay heed to the above mentioned prophecies if they have any respect for these Holy Prophets. And for their own salvation they should accept Allah as the One and Only Almighty God, Muhammad (pbuh) as His final Messenger, and the Holy Qur’an as His final Revelation.
May Allah guide the true seekers towards salvation! Amen.
