What the Bible says about Muhammad (PBUH) - PART 1

What is Prophecy?

Prophecies are word-pictures of something that is going to happen in the future. When that thing actually comes to pass, we see vividly in these prophecies the fulfilment of what had been predicted in the past.

OR

A prediction of what will happen in the future.

Book of Deuteronomy

The Book of Deuteronomy is the fifth book of the Hebrew Bible, and of the Jewish Torah/Pentateuch. 

 Deuteronomy, chapter 18, verse 18 (source)

"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."

Big question is whom this prophecy is about in the book of Deuteronomy? Lets analyse step by step 

Any knowledgeable Christian you ask will simply says its a prophecy about "JESUS!" 

But the question remains the same as Jesus name is not being used in the prophecy and we need to step deep into some untold facts and analyse this claim in more details. 

The most important words in this prophecy are 'like unto the' means 'like you' which is being further acknowledged by Christians  as  like Moses, and Jesus is like Moses. 

Similarities and Differences between Moses and Jesus

Similarities

1- Moses was a JEW and Jesus was also a JEW. 

2- Moses was a PROPHET and Jesus was also a PROPHET - 

But If these are the only two criteria for discovering a candidate for this prophecy of Deuteronomy 18:18, then in that case the criteria could fit any one of the following Biblical personages after Moses:- Solomon, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Hosea, Joel, Malachi, John the Baptist etc., because they were also ALL "Jews" as well as "Prophets". 

Why should we not apply this prophecy to any one of these prophets, and why only to Jesus?

Differences

According to Christians, 

1- 'JESUS DIED FOR THE SINS OF THE WORLD', but Moses did not have to die for the sins of the world. Therefore Jesus is not like Moses!  

2- 'JESUS WENT TO HELL FOR THREE DAYS', but Moses did not have to go there. Therefore Jesus is not like Moses!

3- 'JESUS IS A GOD', but Moses is not God. Therefore Jesus is not like Moses!

Hence, its very clear and one should accept that this prophecy is not about Prophet Jesus. its pointing out some one else.

END OF PART 1

NOTE : I will update the PART 2 in coming weeks In Sha Allah with some amazing facts which are really eye opening.

  

Ants on Paper

Ants on Paper

The 5th / 11th century philosopher and theologian Al-Ghazali was a key source on the Dahris who identified them as ancient philosophers. In his Kimiya -yi sa adat he describes the Dahris as some form of reductionists who do not have a holistic understanding of the universe and its purpose. 

"He asserts that they are like ants on a piece of paper, who cannot lift their eyes from the ink or the pen they see before them, and fail to see who is writing."

See what Holy Qura'n says directly in chapter 2 verse 17 and 18 about such people. Some really great philosopher once said "Where observation ends, Believe starts..."
