Muhammed Peace be Upon Him in Bible

SONGS OF SOLOMON

The Prophet Muhammad[p] is mentioned by name in the Songs of Solomon. Consider the following transliteration of 16 from chapter.5;

"Hikko Mamittakim we kullo Ma[k]hamad-im Zehdoodeh wa Zehraee Bayna Jerusalem"

The English translations reads: 'His speech is most sweet, and he is altogether desirable. This is my beloved and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.'

In the Hebrew word Makhamad-im, the end letters im are a plural of respect and majesty. Minus im the name would read Muhammad[p]. In English translation however, schoalrs have interprated Mu[k]hamad as desirable, but in the Hebwer Old Testament, the name of Prophet Muhammad[p] is yet present.

DEUTERONOMY 18:18
'I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and I will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.' [Deuteronomy 18:18]

Christians have often claimed Prophet Jesus[p] to be the end product of the above prophecy whereas muslims have always held the belief that Prophet Muhammad[p] was the one being alluded to. Lets reflect upon both claims;

'Prophet'

'Nabee' or a prophet is a spokes man of GOD. Moses[p] was nothing more than a prophet and the same can be said about Muhammad[p]. Though the Qur'an does describe Jesus[p] as a prophet only and not divine, Christians have mostly considered him more [far more] than a mere prophet of GOD.

'Among your brotheren'

Ishmael[p] and Isaac[p] are brothers.[5] The children of Isaac[p] are the Jews and the children of Ishmael[p] are the Arabs. So they too are bretheren to one another though brotherly love isn't always apparent. Moreover, GOD is addressing the Israelites in their presence here; hence when GOD says: 'from among their brotheren', it refers to the brotheren of the Israelites who are of course the Ishamelites.

'Like unto thee'

The Prophet Muhammad[p] was in many ways similar to Moses[p], more perhaps than any other prophet in history. I have listed some below and invite the reader[s] to compare them with prophet Jesus[p];

1. Both Moses[p] and Muhammad[p] started recieving revelation at the age of forty.
2. They were both given new Laws i.e. the Torah and the Qur'an.
3. They both had to migrated following assassination plots.
4. Both took part in battles and were successful in defeating their enemies.
5. Both Moses[p] and Muhammad[p] were accepted as prophets or leaders by their respective nations.
6. They both had a normal death after having achieved their respective missions.
7. Before all that, both had a natural births and their family lives were also similar.
8. Ever since, their followers have always regarded them as mere prophets not divine.

Perhaps the only real similarity between Moses[p] and Jesus[p] was that they both were Israelites, which by itself is not sufficient, for there arose many Israelite prophets, hence the prophecy can be pertaining to any prophet who came from Israel. The greatest difference between the two is that Moses[p] was only a prophet but Jesus was the Son of GOD or GOD Himself, the 3rd person of the trinity as Christians would say. Now if GOD was speaking in [Deu 18:18] and Jesus[p] was that GOD, how then can he be that prophet who is like Moses[p]? GOD was certainly not speaking of Himself!

That leaves us with no doubt, the prophesy of [Deuteronomy 18:18] can refers to none other except Prophet Muhammad[p]. He is indeed 'That Prophet'.
'Muhammad is not the father of any of your men, but (he is) the Messenger of Allah, and the Seal of the Prophets: and Allah has full knowledge of all things.' [Al-Qur'an 33:40]

THAT PROPHET



[Deuteronomy 33:2] is an intergrated reference to Moses[p], Jesus[p] and Muhammad[p]. The verse reads: 'The LORD came from Sinai, and dawned from Se'ir upon us; he shone forth from Mount Paran, he came from the ten thousands of holy ones, with flaming fire at his right hand.' GOD coming from Sinai is an obvious reference to prophet Moses[p], rising from Se'ir, the village of Sa'ir near Jerusalem, possibly refering to Jesus[p] and the shining[reference to Prophet Muhammad], from Mount Paran which is un-doubtably Mecca[Makkah] in Arabia, the place where Ishmael settled.[7] Furthermore he will come from Paran[Mecca] with ten thousand holy ones or saints. The same number of followers who accompanied the Prophet Muhammad[p] on the occasion of the conquest of Makkah.
