Excellent analysis and answer; the speaker has an incredibly detailed and ready memory of ALL he has read and studied. Though I am neither Christian, nor do I subscribe to any other form or sect of any religion, I appreciate scholarship, especially when used in the promotion of understanding, which leads to peace amongst people of different beliefs….
The world can certainly do with more understanding; some peace would be nice, too….
Smiles.. SOHEIR I’ve studied this question before.. And while I still do not see any definitive literal evidence that the prophet Muhammad is in the bible.. Within the interpretation of metaphor it is possible to come to that figurative conclusion but I will not limit God to any parameters of first and last as that is not the place of a servant in submission to God unless one believes they are as great as God and nah.. I for one am way too small for that and strong as well.. ONLY God is first and last..:)
Prophet Muhammad’s prophetic Name, “Ahmed”, was found in the Dead Sea Scrolls, and it was mentioned precisely in the Glorious Quran for the Prophet to be foretold by this very Name, Ahmed:
“And when Jesus the Son of Mary said, O children of Israel, verily I am the Apostle of God sent unto you, confirming the law which was delivered before me, and bringing good tidings of an Apostle who shall come after me, and whose name shall be Ahmed. And when he produced unto them evident miracles, they said, this is manifest sorcery. (The Noble Quran, 61:6)”
Prophet Jesus here has shed the light on the old Prophecy of the coming Prophet, Ahmed. So Ahmed was prophesied before Christ and also during Christ’s lifetime.
This film was also taken from this Youtube Channel. As the author of the video said, look at the Aramaic alphabets in the Wikipedia link given, below. See how Hhet and Tav are written. They look very similar. See also how the Dalet and Khaf are written, and how they’re similar. Now create your own “AHMAD” and “ETMAK” from these alphabets. Now, compare the two words, and see how similar they look. Compare the two words with the DSS by ignoring the vowels and accent ending. Which word look similar? Now read the whole chapter of Isaiah 42. And even if the DSS was not tampered with, was it written wrongly as the letters are very similar? The error could have gone back even before the DSS was written.
Again, you can also read this 195-page PDF file [23] in Arabic. I am currently working on translating all of it into English. It will be available soon, insha’Allah (if Allah Almighty is Willing).
2- Prophet Muhammad in the Bible:Aside from the thorough articles in this section below, I demonstrated in my debate how Prophet Muhammad was Prophesied in the Bible [12], and how he is the Final and Special Prophet that was going to be sent to all of mankind, according to the Bible itself. The Bible in the Old and New Testaments made DIRECT Prophecies about:
The Prophet who will come from the “EAST”. The Bible defined “EAST” to mean Arabia, and the lands of Kedar and Teman (Saudi Arabia today).The Prophet who will come from “Arabia”The Prophet who will come from the lands and “tents of Kedar” and “lands of Teman”. Kedar and Teman (also called”Tema” in the Bible) are two of Ishmael’s sons: Genesis 25:13-15The Prophet who will “crush the idols of the deserts of Kedar”The Prophet who will “fight the idol worshipers” in the deserts of Kedar.The people of Kedar will Glorify GOD Almighty, and GOD will Glorify His Holy Temple “in Kedar””Arabia will rejoice and blossom”The Prophet who will come from the “Desert”. Again, the Bible also defined the “Desert” to mean the lands of Arabia, Kedar and Teman.The Prophet of the “New Law” & “New Covenant”, whom the Jews “must not fear”The Prophet who is “like Moses”. Both Muhammad and Moses brought new Laws. There is the Law of Moses, which the entire Bible is built on, and there is the Law of the Holy Quran, which Islam is built on.Also in the New Testament, Christ is recorded to have said this to the Jews: “So [For this reason; Therefore] I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to people [a nation] who do the things God wants in his kingdom [will produce its fruit].” (Matthew 21:43). Jesus Christ here spoke about foreign people; non-Jews. Jesus was a Jew and was speaking with Jews. Read more…
– By the way, the “Kingdom of God” here means on earth to the new nation.
– John 1:19-21 John was asked if he were the Messiah, Elijah, and then “The Prophet”: John 1:21.
– John 7:40-44, Jesus was supposed to come from David’s line, while the Prophet was NOT. He was a foreigner.
– Here are two captured images of John 1:19-21 and John 7:40-44. Click on the images to expand:

So the awaited Messiah and the awaited “the Prophet” were clearly TWO DIFFERENT PERSONS, who are strangers to each others, and are not from the same bloodline.
1- The expected Christ and the expected Prophet:Again, in John 1:19-21 John was asked if he were the Messiah, Elijah, and then “The Prophet”:John 1:21. In John 7:40-44, Jesus was supposed to come from David’s line, while the Prophet was NOT. He was a foreigner. So the awaited Messiah and the awaited “the Prophet” were clearly TWO DIFFERENT PERSONS, who are strangers to each others, and are not from the same bloodline.
Let us look at the text of verses of John 1:19-21 and John 7:40-44 in details to see the two different persons to come: the Messiah (Christ) and the Prophet:
John 1:19-21
John the Baptist Tells People About Jesus
19 Here is the ·truth told [testimony John gave; witness of John; 1:6] when the ·leaders [Jewish leadership; L Jews; C John often uses the term “Jews” to refer to the religious leaders in opposition to Jesus, rather than to the Jewish people generally] in Jerusalem sent ·priests and Levites [C the religious authorities; priests oversaw temple worship; Levites were members of the tribe of Levi who assisted them; 1 Chr. 23:24–32] Who are you?”
20 John ·spoke freely [confessed] and did not ·refuse to answer [deny it]. He said, “I am not the ·Christ [Messiah].”
21 So they asked him, “Then who are you? ?” [C Elijah, an OT prophet, was expected to come back before the Messiah; 1 Kin. 17—2 Kin. 2; Mal. 4:5–6.]
He answered, “No, I am not.”
“Are you the Prophet?” [C the Prophet like Moses predicted in Deut. 18:15–19] they asked.
He answered, “No.”
John 7:40-44
The People Argue About Jesus
40 When the people heard Jesus’ words, some of them said, “This man really is the Prophet [1:21; C the “prophet like Moses” of Deut. 18:15–18].”
41 He is the ·Christ [Messiah].” Still others said, “The ·Christ [Messiah] will not come from Galilee.
42 The Scripture says that the ·Christ [Messiah] will come from David’s ·family [offspring; L seed; 2 Sam. 7:12–16; Ps. 89:3–4; Is. 9:7; 55:3] and from Bethlehem, the ·town [village] where David lived [Mic. 5:2].”
43 So ·the people did not agree with each other [L there was a division in the crowd] about Jesus.
44 Some of them wanted to ·arrest [seize] him, but no one was able to ·touch [L lay a hand on] him.

2- An Arabian Prophet was expected by the Jews of ArabiaFrom some of the Muslim sources, see the following references:
“Bring forward the most learned among you before me.” When that man came forward, he and Muhammad spoke in private. Finally Muhammad asked him, “Do you know that I am the Apostle of Allah?” The rabbi answered, “By Allah! Yes, and the people know what I know. , but they are jealous of you.” (History of Muhammad Ibn Sa’d, Volume I, Pages 188)
“…and he is the Prophet of these people; he is an Arab and the Jews are jealous of himwishing that he should have been …” (History of Muhammad Ibn Sa’d, Volume I, Pages 177)
Also, see the other great Arabian Prophets in the Bible.Jesus will return from Arabia in Matthew 24:25-27.

3- Jesus will return as an Arab, not as an Israeli (or Israelite):Did you know that the Bible declares in Matthew 24:25-27 that Jesus will return as an Arab?
Matthew 24:25-27
25 See, I have told you ahead of time.
26 “So if anyone tells you, ‘There he is, out in the wilderness,’ do not go out; or, ‘Here he is, in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it.
27 For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man
The Bible, throughout its books, has thoroughly defined the “East” to be the Arabs: [123].
Not only that, but the Bible and the Dead Sea Scrolls also predicted the coming of from the east. Ahmed is Prophet Muhammad’s prophetic name.
Prophet Muhammad said that Jesus Christ will return from Damascus
So why won’t Jesus Christ return as a Jew from Israel? See the Islamic Prophecies about the ONE-EYED dajjal (anti-Christ).
Abraham is widely regarded as the Patriarch of monotheism and the common father of the Jews, Christians and Muslims. Through His second son, Isaac, came all Israelite prophets including such towering figures as Jacob, Joseph, Moses, David, Solomon and Jesus. May peace and blessings be upon them all. The advent of these great prophets was in partial fulfillment of God’s promises to bless the nations of earth through the descendents of Abraham (Genesis12:2-3). Such fulfillment is wholeheartedly accepted by Muslims whose faith considers the belief in and respect of all prophets an article of faith.
Was the first born son of Abraham (Ishmael) and his descendants included in God’s covenant and promise? A few verses from the Bible may help shed some light on this question;
Genesis 12:2-3 speaks of God’s promise to Abraham and his descendants before any child was born to him.
Genesis 17:4 reiterates God’s promise after the birth of Ishmael and before the birth of Isaac.
In Genesis, ch. 21. Isaac is specifically blessed but Ishmael was also specifically blessed and promised by God to become “a great nation” especially in Genesis 21:13, 18.
According to Deuteronomy 21:15-17 the traditional rights and privileges of the first born son are not to be affected by the social status of his mother (being a “free” woman such as Sarah, Isaac’s mother, or a “Bondwoman” such as Hagar, Ishmael’s mother). This is only consistent with the moral and humanitarian principles of all revealed faiths.
The full legitimacy of Ishmael as Abraham’s son and “seed” and the full legitimacy of his mother, Hagar, as Abraham’s wife are clearly stated in Genesis 21:13 and 16:3. After Jesus, the last Israelite messenger and prophet, it was time that God’s promise to bless Ishmael and his descendants be fulfilled. Less than 600years after Jesus, came the last messenger of God, Muhammad, from the progeny of Abraham through Ishmael. God’s blessing of both of the main branches of Abraham’s family tree was now fullfilled. But are there additional corroborating evidence that the Bible did in fact foretell the advent of prophet Muhammad?
Long time after Abraham, God’s promise to send the long-awaited Messenger was repeated this time in Moses’ words.
In Deuteronomy 18:18, Moses spoke of the prophet to be sent by God who is:
From among the Israelite’s “brethren”, a reference to their Ishmaelite cousins as Ishmael was the other son of Abraham who was explicitly promised to become a “great nation”.
A prophet like unto Moses. There were hardly any two prophets ,who were so much alike as Moses and Muhammad. Both were given comprehensive law code of life, both encountered their enemies and were victors in miraculous ways, both were accepted as prophets/statesmen and both migrated following conspiracies to assassinate them. Analogies between Moses and Jesus overlooks not only the above similarities but other crucial ones as well (e.g. the natural birth, family life and death of Moses and Muhammad but not of Jesus, who was regarded by His followers as the Son of God and not exclusively a messenger of God, as Moses and Muhammad were and as Muslim belief Jesus was).
Deuteronomy 33:1-2 combines references to Moses, Jesus and Muhammad. It speaks of God (i.e. God’s revelation) coming from Sinai, rising from Seir (probably the village of Sa’ir near Jerusalem) and shining forth from Paran. According to Genesis 21:21, the wilderness of Paran was the place where Ishmael settled (i.e. Arabia, specifically Mecca).
Indeed the King James version of the Bible mentions the pilgrims passing through the valley of Ba’ca (another name of Mecca) in Psalms 84:4-6.
Isaiah 42:1-13 speaks of the beloved of God. His elect and messenger who will bring down a law to be awaited in the isles and who “shall not fail nor be discouraged till he have set judgement on earth.” Verse 11, connects that awaited one with the descendants of Ke’dar. Who is Ke’dar? According to Genesis 25:13, Ke’dar was the second son of Ishmael, the ancestor of prophet Muhammad.
Habakkuk 3:3 speaks of God (God’s help) coming from Te’man (an Oasis North of Medina according to J. Hasting’s Dictionary of the Bible), and the holy one (coming) from Paran. That holy one who under persecution migrated from Paran (Mecca) to be received enthusiastically in Medina was none but prophet Muhammad.
Indeed the incident of the migration of the prophet and his persecuted followers is vividly described in Isaiah 21:13-17. That section foretold as well about the battle of Badr in which the few ill-armed faithful miraculously defeated the “mighty” men of Ke’dar, who sought to destroy Islam and intimidate their own folks who turned -to Islam.
For twenty-three years, God’s words (the Qur’an) were truely put into Muhammad’s mouth. He was not the “author” of the Qur’an. The Qur’an was dictated to him by Angel Gabriel who asked Muhammad to simply repeat the words of the Qur’an as he heard them. These words were then committed to memory and to writing by those who hear them during Muhammad’s life time and under his supervision.
Was it a coincidence that the prophet “like unto Moses” from the “brethren” of the Israelites (i.e. from the lshmaelites) was also described as one in whose mouth God will put his words and that he will speak in the name of God, (Deuteronomy 18:18-20). Was it also a coincidence the “Paraclete” that Jesus foretold to come after Him was described as one who “shall not speak of himself, but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak (John 16:13)
Was it another coincidence that Isaiah ties between the messenger connected with Ke’dar and a new song (a scripture in a new language) to be sang unto the Lord (Isaiah 42:10-11). More explicitly, prophesies Isaiah “For with stammering lips, and another tongue, will he speak to this people” (Isaiah 28:11). This latter verse correctly describes the “stammering lips” of Prophet Muhammad reflecting the state of tension and concentration he went through at the time of revelation. Another related point is that the Qur’an was revealed in piece-meals over a span of twenty three years. It is interesting to compare this with Isaiah 28:10 whichspeaks of the same thing.
Up to the time of Jesus (peace be upon him), the Israelites were still awaiting for that prophet like unto Moses prophecied in Deuteronomy 18:18. When John the Baptist came, they asked him if he was Christ and he said “no”. They asked him if he was Elias and he said “no”. Then, in apparent reference to Deuteronomy 18:18, they asked him “Art thou that Prophet” and he answered, “no”. (John 1: 1 9-2 1).
In the Gospel according to John (Chapters 14, 15, 16) Jesus spoke of the “Paraclete” or comforter who will come after him, who will be sent by Father as another Paraclete, who will teach new things which the contemporaries of Jesus could not bear. While the Paraclete is described as the spirit of truth, (whose meaning resemble Muhammad’s famous title Al-Amin, the trustworthy), he is identified in one verse as the Holy Ghost (John 14:26). Such a designation is however inconsistent with the profile of that Paraclete. In the words of the Dictionary of the Bible, (Ed. J. Mackenzie) “These items, it must be admitted do not give an entirely coherent picture.”
Indeed history tells us that many early Christians understood the Paraclete to be a man and not a spirit. This might explain the followings who responded to some who claimed, without meeting the criteria stipulated by Jesus, to be the awaited “Paraciete”.
It was Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) who was the Paraclete, Comforter, helper, admonisher sent by God after Jesus. He testified of Jesus, taught new things which could not be borne at Jesus’ time, he spoke what he heard (revelation), he dwells with the believers (through his well-preserved teachings). Such teachings will remain forever because he was the last messenger of God, the only Universal Messenger to unite the whole of humanity under God and on the path of PRESERVED truth. He told of many things to come which “came to pass” in the minutest detail meeting, the criterion given by Moses to distinguish between the true prophet and the false prophets (Deuteronomy 18:22). He did reprove the world of sin, of righteousness and of judgment (John 16:8-11)
Following the rejection of the last Israelite prophet, Jesus, it was about time that God’s promise to make Ishmael a great nation be fulfilled (Genesis 21:13, 18)
In Matthew 21:19-21, Jesus spoke of the fruitless fig tree (A Biblical symbol of prophetic heritage) to be cleared after being given a last chance of three years (the duration of Jesus’ ministry) to give fruit. In a later verse in the same chapter, Jesus said: “Therefore, say I unto you, The Kingdom of God shall be taken away from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruit thereof” (Matthew 21:43). That nation of Ishmael’s descendants (the rejected stone in Matthew 21:42) which was victorious against all super-powers of its time as prophesied by Jesus: “And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken, but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder” (Matthew 21:44).
Is it possible that the numerous prophecies cited here are all individually and combined out of context misinterpretations? Is the opposite true, that such infrequently studied verses fit together consistently and clearly point to the advent of the man who changed the course of human history, Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Is it reasonable to conclude that all these prophecies, appearing in different books of the Bible and spoken by various prophets at different times were all coincidence? If this is so here is another strange “coincidence”!
One of the signs of the prophet to come from Paran (Mecca) is that he will come with “ten thousands of saints” (Deuteronomy 33:2 KJV). That was the number of faithful who accompanied Prophet Muhammad to Paran (Mecca) in his victorious, bloodless return to his birthplace to destroy the remaining symbols of idolatry in the Ka’bah.
Says God as quoted by Moses:
And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him. (Deuteronomy 18:19)
Smiles Imran.. i am responding here.. because the Internet is still very slow in my area.. due to all this commercialism of Thanksgiving.. and i am not seeing the specific reply options because of that issue…
I like your presentation of this as you are presenting evidence and not dictating it as the God’s Truth directly from God’s mouth..
We humans filter God the best we can with our mouths.. yet our mouths are filters of God and not God’s voice alone..
For the Christians of your area that spread around the world.. Jesus is the prophet for them to the tune of over 2 billion people in the world..
And for the Muslims who are approaching 2 billion people in the world.. Muhammad is the prophet for them.. around the world.. as well..
Those are both incredible achievements of two men of earth to filter the voice of God in human words.. but again.. human words are human words.. God’s voice is the voice of Infinity of all distance and space.. and beyond.. that certainly is not specific to any one human language.. culture.. and or religion.. or one human alone…
The evidence for that is simple and direct.. neither Jesus or Muhammad lives or has lived on other planets.. sure someone can say they do.. but that doesn’t make it correct.. and nah.. none of that is in the Quran or Bible.. but sure.. someone could twist some words as metaphor around to say that.. if they are intent on doing that.. but nah.. i will not fall for that…
But of course in the days of Jesus and Muhammad.. human eyes are not open with the aided tools of science that the golden age of Islam helps bring.. so they cannot see the probability that there are likely intelligent children of God on these other planets.. that may be well beyond our capacities in both intelligence and Love… they would have to have the Love to continue to exist and not blow each other up in a world war.. and that’s for sure.. if they are smarter than us.. which considering the size of the Universe.. is a likelihood of course…
We can thank Islam for these tools of the aided eye of human.. in part.. by the Golden Age of Islam’s increasing Wisdom in the way of Science.. that did not listen to the closed minded ways of Christianity’s rule of Nations then.. and stay closed up..
So Credit Muhammad here again..
Sadly the worst way to God is through the worship of another person.. as when that other person is worshipped instead of God within.. God may be lost or never found within.. per the individual’s perceptions and feelings of God within.. and that is the saddest part of the way modern Christianity is interpreted.. worshipping a man as God instead of God that lives within.. as the Force of the Universe in all of Infinity and beyond..
The real Jesus as reported in the Gnostic Gospels.. uncovered in Egypt in 1959.. speaks to God living within.. and this message still exists in the New Testament in metaphor of Luke 17:21.. additionally this verse makes it clear in metaphor that heaven is now.. for those who find it within…
But people tend to ignore that and continue to interpret the metaphors of the parables of poetry in the bible to make Jesus a God and of course Constantine and the Catholics of that date in 325 AD make God into three persons as a Trinity of God.. Jesus ..and the Holy Spirit.. and put him on a throne away from his self-acclaimed place of humble prophet and healer.. and sure that is sad to me.. but it is part of the human tribal instinct.. as gifted by God too for basic subsistence and survival.. to elevate the Quarterback of the team.. President.. Prophet.. or whomever.. to a place of Supreme importance in the heart of human.. as people tend to Love their Leaders of choice.. again.. part of human instinct.. to look to someone else.. for the followers among us..
But here’s the thing.. there are sheep and there are shepherds.. the sheep will follow the direction of the shepherds as they either speak to the heart or speak to the fear of human.. the light is the heart.. and the dark is the fear.. the light is the Angel and the fear is the demon and or devil..
i for one speak directly to a God of Angels as Light..
I for one.. disregard the Demons as nothing at all..
they do not exist in my Universe now at all..
but sure i have met them before
up close and personal
in the eyes of fear
and hate.. so
yes.. for me..
demons and
dark exist
then..
without a
doubt in metaphor
as is.. then.. for sure..
but no.. not for me..
at all.. now.. zero
demons as
dark
for me.. my friend.. now..
God gives me that choice as human being..
with the gift of relative free Will and Love..
Even at age 3.. before i can speak.. i see the Angels
of God all around me as light.. in metaphor of course..
beyond words and images..
as Truth and Light
in Wisdom with
no Words or
images..
that need no
humans.. cultures..
religions.. books..
words.. letters.. numbers
or other human symbols
at all.. God Lives
within.. then..
it is a no
brainer
then and
a no brainer
now.. that God
exists and is
as is now..
to me then
and now..
Perhaps not everyone is born with
that gift that God gives me at age
3 to know God and Feel God wtih
no images or words then.. within..
So perhaps it is definitely
good that the shepherds
Muhammad and Jesus
exist.. to bring
that Truth
and Light
to others
who do
not find
God
at age
3 within
with zero doubt
or fear my friend..
like me.. then.. i would
not want
to take
that
away
from any of
them.. if not
everyone is
blessed
this way
like
me.. then.. and now..
So in other words.. it gives
me great Joy that you find
Muhammad in the bible..
that you Love Muhammad
so much.. and that you
through this
prophet
have
found
God within..
and perhaps you too
found God before you
had words at age
3.. i do not
know this
of you..
so i
cannot judge
that for you.. my friend..
But the bottom line is this..
and i will quote your beautiful
words here.. in evidence of
that.. as metaphor too
of course..
and the Internet
will let me open
the words to quote
it so i will paraphrase
you here.. in taking
a suitcase of Love
and disregarding
all the words
in
favor
of God my
friend.. i need
no grammarians
or Linguists to
find God in
my heart
or anywhere
God’s exists
in Infinity and
beyond.. so sure.. i am
impressed by the great memory in
ability of the man in the video
provided here to quote
and reference
all those
religious
texts.. but in
God’s words.. no..
as they are far
superior
to
human
words
alone..
unless we make
God equivalent to
ourselves and i for one
friend.. am not falling for
that human
snake oil..
never.. zero
NO NOT.. at all..
ALL.. AH.. YES..
IS GOD.. AND
NO HUMAN LANGUAGE
OR MAN ALONE.. again..
the evidence is clear..
TO ME..
as above
so below..
inside outside
all around
wHere
Godalways
exists..NOW..:)
*correction up there.. the Internet
would NOT let me open
your quote.. Imran..
and i spelled
with as wtih..
but perhaps
that is how
God
spells with..
i am no one
to judge
GOD.. my
friend..
no one
at all
but
me..
smiles
again.. my
friend.. arrogance..
is a long lost enemy
of mine as well…..;)
Hi Fred
Thanks again
Your speech is to Imran
But let me correct something you mentioned here my dear friend
We muslims do not worship Mohammad or do not see God within him
When we speak to God we do that directly with no need to any one else exactly as you do
Some christians worshipped Jesus( peace and blessings be on him)
They considered him as God
This is refused in Islam
Both Mohammad and Jesus are prophets …ordinary human beings with clearer hearts
I hope that I could explain my idea to you my friend
Smiles
🙂
Smiles my friend.. SOHEIR.. No where in my comment did I say Muslims worship Muhammad.. Love yes.. Worship no.. and that is a clear advantage to how Islam is understood by Muslims.. In my eyes at least.. and it is fine with me if an individual believes Muhammad is the last messenger for them of God.. but for me the only true messenger of God is the face of God.. i for one.. Receive ALL my guidance and direction from Infinitely.. always now.. My friend.. Smiles..:)
No cartoon or comic can blemish the noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). He is dear to millions of Muslims around the world who strive to emulate his perfect example in every way. He was a man of beauty and perfection, one of his companions, Hassaan bin Thaabit (may Allah be pleased with him) describes him with the following couplets:
My eyes have never seen anyone more perfect than you
No woman has given birth to anyone more handsome than you
You have been created free from all defects
As if you were created the way you wished
Here are 5 narrations from the companions of the Prophet describing his beauty:
Moulded in silver
Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: “The messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was so clean, clear, beautiful and handsome, as though his body was covered and moulded in silver. His hair was slightly curled.”
The real beauty of the messenger of Allah is only known to Allah (swt) and no one else. It was the wisdom of Allah that he veiled the complete beauty of the messenger of Allah from manifesting in this world. Had it been allowed to manifest completely people would have lost their senses. Just as people/the women did upon seeing the prophet Yusuf (a.s). We find in the hadiths that the mother-of-the-believers, Aisha (ra) said ‘if the women who saw Yusuf (as) cut their hands seeing the beauty of Yusuf. They would have cut their throats if they saw my Yusuf. (referring to the prophet (saw). – they would have become completely intoxicated with the love of the messenger of Allah!
Peace be upon you dear bro Imran Ali!
All peace and praise be on prophet Mohammad!
I hope that one day all the world may know the reality of prophet Mohammad..
Last week someone commented here in my blog in the last post and said bad things about our prophet..
He mentioned some verses from Quoran..
I was so depressed…and did not have the time to search and reply…my day is always busy…
I love my prophet and I trust him ..
When I have the time in shaa Allah I will search and explain to him.
I feel sad when they look at Mohammad as a warrior or a man of merely tribal attitude..
Imran Ali…thank you so much dear friend!
May you meet happiness in everywhere you go!
Keep praying!
🙂
♧
Just remember the incident of our beloved Prophet s.a.w Shaeb e Abi talib, Taif, Uhud and khandaq.
How he dealt with the Staithes enemy of islam and his shakhsiyyah.
His confidence was so high I think you must be knowing the incident of ‘ghaar al thaur’ La takhaf La tahzan.
While he was hungry of 3 consecutive days he wrote letters to khusroe parviz and cease of byzantine that accept islam and be safe.
Have u ever think about His confidence.
Let him say (fred) tinker tailor soldier sailors such ppl always there to malign islam and our beloved prophet s.a.w
So be confident
And be like Safiya prophet’s Aunt
And be like Khaula bint zarurat.
Cheer and smile my dear.
I feel sad for my prophet and also I feel sad that there are people around the world who still do not know who is prophet Mohammad….I do not know if this is our fault or it is theirs…
Anyway..you make me happy Imran…you’re Allah gift to me…
Dear brother I do really love you and I hope that God protect you and bless your steps!
Ameen ya Rabb
Even I am blessed to have you.
You can’t correct everyone.
Our duty is to just convey the message …guidance comes from Allah alone
A Daee/Daeeya ought to be patient.

Excellent analysis and answer; the speaker has an incredibly detailed and ready memory of ALL he has read and studied. Though I am neither Christian, nor do I subscribe to any other form or sect of any religion, I appreciate scholarship, especially when used in the promotion of understanding, which leads to peace amongst people of different beliefs….
The world can certainly do with more understanding; some peace would be nice, too….

Smiles.. SOHEIR I’ve studied this question before.. And while I still do not see any definitive literal evidence that the prophet Muhammad is in the bible.. Within the interpretation of metaphor it is possible to come to that figurative conclusion but I will not limit God to any parameters of first and last as that is not the place of a servant in submission to God unless one believes they are as great as God and nah.. I for one am way too small for that and strong as well.. ONLY God is first and last..:)

Prophet Muhammad’s prophetic Name, “Ahmed”, was found in the Dead Sea Scrolls, and it was mentioned precisely in the Glorious Quran for the Prophet to be foretold by this very Name, Ahmed:
“And when Jesus the Son of Mary said, O children of Israel, verily I am the Apostle of God sent unto you, confirming the law which was delivered before me, and bringing good tidings of an Apostle who shall come after me, and whose name shall be Ahmed. And when he produced unto them evident miracles, they said, this is manifest sorcery. (The Noble Quran, 61:6)”
Prophet Jesus here has shed the light on the old Prophecy of the coming Prophet, Ahmed. So Ahmed was prophesied before Christ and also during Christ’s lifetime.
This film was also taken from this Youtube Channel. As the author of the video said, look at the Aramaic alphabets in the Wikipedia link given, below. See how Hhet and Tav are written. They look very similar. See also how the Dalet and Khaf are written, and how they’re similar. Now create your own “AHMAD” and “ETMAK” from these alphabets. Now, compare the two words, and see how similar they look. Compare the two words with the DSS by ignoring the vowels and accent ending. Which word look similar? Now read the whole chapter of Isaiah 42. And even if the DSS was not tampered with, was it written wrongly as the letters are very similar? The error could have gone back even before the DSS was written.

Again, you can also read this 195-page PDF file [23] in Arabic. I am currently working on translating all of it into English. It will be available soon, insha’Allah (if Allah Almighty is Willing).
2- Prophet Muhammad in the Bible:Aside from the thorough articles in this section below, I demonstrated in my debate how Prophet Muhammad was Prophesied in the Bible [12], and how he is the Final and Special Prophet that was going to be sent to all of mankind, according to the Bible itself. The Bible in the Old and New Testaments made DIRECT Prophecies about:
The Prophet who will come from the “EAST”. The Bible defined “EAST” to mean Arabia, and the lands of Kedar and Teman (Saudi Arabia today).The Prophet who will come from “Arabia”The Prophet who will come from the lands and “tents of Kedar” and “lands of Teman”. Kedar and Teman (also called”Tema” in the Bible) are two of Ishmael’s sons: Genesis 25:13-15The Prophet who will “crush the idols of the deserts of Kedar”The Prophet who will “fight the idol worshipers” in the deserts of Kedar.The people of Kedar will Glorify GOD Almighty, and GOD will Glorify His Holy Temple “in Kedar””Arabia will rejoice and blossom”The Prophet who will come from the “Desert”. Again, the Bible also defined the “Desert” to mean the lands of Arabia, Kedar and Teman.The Prophet of the “New Law” & “New Covenant”, whom the Jews “must not fear”The Prophet who is “like Moses”. Both Muhammad and Moses brought new Laws. There is the Law of Moses, which the entire Bible is built on, and there is the Law of the Holy Quran, which Islam is built on.Also in the New Testament, Christ is recorded to have said this to the Jews: “So [For this reason; Therefore] I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to people [a nation] who do the things God wants in his kingdom [will produce its fruit].” (Matthew 21:43). Jesus Christ here spoke about foreign people; non-Jews. Jesus was a Jew and was speaking with Jews. Read more…
– By the way, the “Kingdom of God” here means on earth to the new nation.
– John 1:19-21 John was asked if he were the Messiah, Elijah, and then “The Prophet”: John 1:21.
– John 7:40-44, Jesus was supposed to come from David’s line, while the Prophet was NOT. He was a foreigner.
– Here are two captured images of John 1:19-21 and John 7:40-44. Click on the images to expand:

So the awaited Messiah and the awaited “the Prophet” were clearly TWO DIFFERENT PERSONS, who are strangers to each others, and are not from the same bloodline.
1- The expected Christ and the expected Prophet:Again, in John 1:19-21 John was asked if he were the Messiah, Elijah, and then “The Prophet”:John 1:21. In John 7:40-44, Jesus was supposed to come from David’s line, while the Prophet was NOT. He was a foreigner. So the awaited Messiah and the awaited “the Prophet” were clearly TWO DIFFERENT PERSONS, who are strangers to each others, and are not from the same bloodline.
Let us look at the text of verses of John 1:19-21 and John 7:40-44 in details to see the two different persons to come: the Messiah (Christ) and the Prophet:
John 1:19-21
John the Baptist Tells People About Jesus
19 Here is the ·truth told [testimony John gave; witness of John; 1:6] when the ·leaders [Jewish leadership; L Jews; C John often uses the term “Jews” to refer to the religious leaders in opposition to Jesus, rather than to the Jewish people generally] in Jerusalem sent ·priests and Levites [C the religious authorities; priests oversaw temple worship; Levites were members of the tribe of Levi who assisted them; 1 Chr. 23:24–32] Who are you?”
20 John ·spoke freely [confessed] and did not ·refuse to answer [deny it]. He said, “I am not the ·Christ [Messiah].”
21 So they asked him, “Then who are you? ?” [C Elijah, an OT prophet, was expected to come back before the Messiah; 1 Kin. 17—2 Kin. 2; Mal. 4:5–6.]
He answered, “No, I am not.”
“Are you the Prophet?” [C the Prophet like Moses predicted in Deut. 18:15–19] they asked.
He answered, “No.”
John 7:40-44
The People Argue About Jesus
40 When the people heard Jesus’ words, some of them said, “This man really is the Prophet [1:21; C the “prophet like Moses” of Deut. 18:15–18].”
41 He is the ·Christ [Messiah].” Still others said, “The ·Christ [Messiah] will not come from Galilee.
42 The Scripture says that the ·Christ [Messiah] will come from David’s ·family [offspring; L seed; 2 Sam. 7:12–16; Ps. 89:3–4; Is. 9:7; 55:3] and from Bethlehem, the ·town [village] where David lived [Mic. 5:2].”
43 So ·the people did not agree with each other [L there was a division in the crowd] about Jesus.
44 Some of them wanted to ·arrest [seize] him, but no one was able to ·touch [L lay a hand on] him.

2- An Arabian Prophet was expected by the Jews of ArabiaFrom some of the Muslim sources, see the following references:
“Bring forward the most learned among you before me.” When that man came forward, he and Muhammad spoke in private. Finally Muhammad asked him, “Do you know that I am the Apostle of Allah?” The rabbi answered, “By Allah! Yes, and the people know what I know. , but they are jealous of you.” (History of Muhammad Ibn Sa’d, Volume I, Pages 188)
“…and he is the Prophet of these people; he is an Arab and the Jews are jealous of himwishing that he should have been …” (History of Muhammad Ibn Sa’d, Volume I, Pages 177)
Also, see the other great Arabian Prophets in the Bible.Jesus will return from Arabia in Matthew 24:25-27.

3- Jesus will return as an Arab, not as an Israeli (or Israelite):Did you know that the Bible declares in Matthew 24:25-27 that Jesus will return as an Arab?
Matthew 24:25-27
25 See, I have told you ahead of time.
26 “So if anyone tells you, ‘There he is, out in the wilderness,’ do not go out; or, ‘Here he is, in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it.
27 For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man
The Bible, throughout its books, has thoroughly defined the “East” to be the Arabs: [123].
Not only that, but the Bible and the Dead Sea Scrolls also predicted the coming of from the east. Ahmed is Prophet Muhammad’s prophetic name.
Prophet Muhammad said that Jesus Christ will return from Damascus
So why won’t Jesus Christ return as a Jew from Israel? See the Islamic Prophecies about the ONE-EYED dajjal (anti-Christ).

BIBLE PROPHECIES ABOUT THE ADVENT OF MUHAMMAD
Abraham is widely regarded as the Patriarch of monotheism and the common father of the Jews, Christians and Muslims. Through His second son, Isaac, came all Israelite prophets including such towering figures as Jacob, Joseph, Moses, David, Solomon and Jesus. May peace and blessings be upon them all. The advent of these great prophets was in partial fulfillment of God’s promises to bless the nations of earth through the descendents of Abraham (Genesis12:2-3). Such fulfillment is wholeheartedly accepted by Muslims whose faith considers the belief in and respect of all prophets an article of faith.
Was the first born son of Abraham (Ishmael) and his descendants included in God’s covenant and promise? A few verses from the Bible may help shed some light on this question;
Genesis 12:2-3 speaks of God’s promise to Abraham and his descendants before any child was born to him.
Genesis 17:4 reiterates God’s promise after the birth of Ishmael and before the birth of Isaac.
In Genesis, ch. 21. Isaac is specifically blessed but Ishmael was also specifically blessed and promised by God to become “a great nation” especially in Genesis 21:13, 18.
According to Deuteronomy 21:15-17 the traditional rights and privileges of the first born son are not to be affected by the social status of his mother (being a “free” woman such as Sarah, Isaac’s mother, or a “Bondwoman” such as Hagar, Ishmael’s mother). This is only consistent with the moral and humanitarian principles of all revealed faiths.
The full legitimacy of Ishmael as Abraham’s son and “seed” and the full legitimacy of his mother, Hagar, as Abraham’s wife are clearly stated in Genesis 21:13 and 16:3. After Jesus, the last Israelite messenger and prophet, it was time that God’s promise to bless Ishmael and his descendants be fulfilled. Less than 600years after Jesus, came the last messenger of God, Muhammad, from the progeny of Abraham through Ishmael. God’s blessing of both of the main branches of Abraham’s family tree was now fullfilled. But are there additional corroborating evidence that the Bible did in fact foretell the advent of prophet Muhammad?
Long time after Abraham, God’s promise to send the long-awaited Messenger was repeated this time in Moses’ words.
In Deuteronomy 18:18, Moses spoke of the prophet to be sent by God who is:
From among the Israelite’s “brethren”, a reference to their Ishmaelite cousins as Ishmael was the other son of Abraham who was explicitly promised to become a “great nation”.
A prophet like unto Moses. There were hardly any two prophets ,who were so much alike as Moses and Muhammad. Both were given comprehensive law code of life, both encountered their enemies and were victors in miraculous ways, both were accepted as prophets/statesmen and both migrated following conspiracies to assassinate them. Analogies between Moses and Jesus overlooks not only the above similarities but other crucial ones as well (e.g. the natural birth, family life and death of Moses and Muhammad but not of Jesus, who was regarded by His followers as the Son of God and not exclusively a messenger of God, as Moses and Muhammad were and as Muslim belief Jesus was).
Deuteronomy 33:1-2 combines references to Moses, Jesus and Muhammad. It speaks of God (i.e. God’s revelation) coming from Sinai, rising from Seir (probably the village of Sa’ir near Jerusalem) and shining forth from Paran. According to Genesis 21:21, the wilderness of Paran was the place where Ishmael settled (i.e. Arabia, specifically Mecca).
Indeed the King James version of the Bible mentions the pilgrims passing through the valley of Ba’ca (another name of Mecca) in Psalms 84:4-6.
Isaiah 42:1-13 speaks of the beloved of God. His elect and messenger who will bring down a law to be awaited in the isles and who “shall not fail nor be discouraged till he have set judgement on earth.” Verse 11, connects that awaited one with the descendants of Ke’dar. Who is Ke’dar? According to Genesis 25:13, Ke’dar was the second son of Ishmael, the ancestor of prophet Muhammad.
Habakkuk 3:3 speaks of God (God’s help) coming from Te’man (an Oasis North of Medina according to J. Hasting’s Dictionary of the Bible), and the holy one (coming) from Paran. That holy one who under persecution migrated from Paran (Mecca) to be received enthusiastically in Medina was none but prophet Muhammad.
Indeed the incident of the migration of the prophet and his persecuted followers is vividly described in Isaiah 21:13-17. That section foretold as well about the battle of Badr in which the few ill-armed faithful miraculously defeated the “mighty” men of Ke’dar, who sought to destroy Islam and intimidate their own folks who turned -to Islam.
For twenty-three years, God’s words (the Qur’an) were truely put into Muhammad’s mouth. He was not the “author” of the Qur’an. The Qur’an was dictated to him by Angel Gabriel who asked Muhammad to simply repeat the words of the Qur’an as he heard them. These words were then committed to memory and to writing by those who hear them during Muhammad’s life time and under his supervision.
Was it a coincidence that the prophet “like unto Moses” from the “brethren” of the Israelites (i.e. from the lshmaelites) was also described as one in whose mouth God will put his words and that he will speak in the name of God, (Deuteronomy 18:18-20). Was it also a coincidence the “Paraclete” that Jesus foretold to come after Him was described as one who “shall not speak of himself, but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak (John 16:13)
Was it another coincidence that Isaiah ties between the messenger connected with Ke’dar and a new song (a scripture in a new language) to be sang unto the Lord (Isaiah 42:10-11). More explicitly, prophesies Isaiah “For with stammering lips, and another tongue, will he speak to this people” (Isaiah 28:11). This latter verse correctly describes the “stammering lips” of Prophet Muhammad reflecting the state of tension and concentration he went through at the time of revelation. Another related point is that the Qur’an was revealed in piece-meals over a span of twenty three years. It is interesting to compare this with Isaiah 28:10 whichspeaks of the same thing.
Up to the time of Jesus (peace be upon him), the Israelites were still awaiting for that prophet like unto Moses prophecied in Deuteronomy 18:18. When John the Baptist came, they asked him if he was Christ and he said “no”. They asked him if he was Elias and he said “no”. Then, in apparent reference to Deuteronomy 18:18, they asked him “Art thou that Prophet” and he answered, “no”. (John 1: 1 9-2 1).
In the Gospel according to John (Chapters 14, 15, 16) Jesus spoke of the “Paraclete” or comforter who will come after him, who will be sent by Father as another Paraclete, who will teach new things which the contemporaries of Jesus could not bear. While the Paraclete is described as the spirit of truth, (whose meaning resemble Muhammad’s famous title Al-Amin, the trustworthy), he is identified in one verse as the Holy Ghost (John 14:26). Such a designation is however inconsistent with the profile of that Paraclete. In the words of the Dictionary of the Bible, (Ed. J. Mackenzie) “These items, it must be admitted do not give an entirely coherent picture.”
Indeed history tells us that many early Christians understood the Paraclete to be a man and not a spirit. This might explain the followings who responded to some who claimed, without meeting the criteria stipulated by Jesus, to be the awaited “Paraciete”.
It was Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) who was the Paraclete, Comforter, helper, admonisher sent by God after Jesus. He testified of Jesus, taught new things which could not be borne at Jesus’ time, he spoke what he heard (revelation), he dwells with the believers (through his well-preserved teachings). Such teachings will remain forever because he was the last messenger of God, the only Universal Messenger to unite the whole of humanity under God and on the path of PRESERVED truth. He told of many things to come which “came to pass” in the minutest detail meeting, the criterion given by Moses to distinguish between the true prophet and the false prophets (Deuteronomy 18:22). He did reprove the world of sin, of righteousness and of judgment (John 16:8-11)
Following the rejection of the last Israelite prophet, Jesus, it was about time that God’s promise to make Ishmael a great nation be fulfilled (Genesis 21:13, 18)
In Matthew 21:19-21, Jesus spoke of the fruitless fig tree (A Biblical symbol of prophetic heritage) to be cleared after being given a last chance of three years (the duration of Jesus’ ministry) to give fruit. In a later verse in the same chapter, Jesus said: “Therefore, say I unto you, The Kingdom of God shall be taken away from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruit thereof” (Matthew 21:43). That nation of Ishmael’s descendants (the rejected stone in Matthew 21:42) which was victorious against all super-powers of its time as prophesied by Jesus: “And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken, but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder” (Matthew 21:44).
Is it possible that the numerous prophecies cited here are all individually and combined out of context misinterpretations? Is the opposite true, that such infrequently studied verses fit together consistently and clearly point to the advent of the man who changed the course of human history, Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Is it reasonable to conclude that all these prophecies, appearing in different books of the Bible and spoken by various prophets at different times were all coincidence? If this is so here is another strange “coincidence”!
One of the signs of the prophet to come from Paran (Mecca) is that he will come with “ten thousands of saints” (Deuteronomy 33:2 KJV). That was the number of faithful who accompanied Prophet Muhammad to Paran (Mecca) in his victorious, bloodless return to his birthplace to destroy the remaining symbols of idolatry in the Ka’bah.
Says God as quoted by Moses:
And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him. (Deuteronomy 18:19)

Smiles Imran.. i am responding here.. because the Internet is still very slow in my area.. due to all this commercialism of Thanksgiving.. and i am not seeing the specific reply options because of that issue…
I like your presentation of this as you are presenting evidence and not dictating it as the God’s Truth directly from God’s mouth..
We humans filter God the best we can with our mouths.. yet our mouths are filters of God and not God’s voice alone..
For the Christians of your area that spread around the world.. Jesus is the prophet for them to the tune of over 2 billion people in the world..
And for the Muslims who are approaching 2 billion people in the world.. Muhammad is the prophet for them.. around the world.. as well..
Those are both incredible achievements of two men of earth to filter the voice of God in human words.. but again.. human words are human words.. God’s voice is the voice of Infinity of all distance and space.. and beyond.. that certainly is not specific to any one human language.. culture.. and or religion.. or one human alone…
The evidence for that is simple and direct.. neither Jesus or Muhammad lives or has lived on other planets.. sure someone can say they do.. but that doesn’t make it correct.. and nah.. none of that is in the Quran or Bible.. but sure.. someone could twist some words as metaphor around to say that.. if they are intent on doing that.. but nah.. i will not fall for that…
But of course in the days of Jesus and Muhammad.. human eyes are not open with the aided tools of science that the golden age of Islam helps bring.. so they cannot see the probability that there are likely intelligent children of God on these other planets.. that may be well beyond our capacities in both intelligence and Love… they would have to have the Love to continue to exist and not blow each other up in a world war.. and that’s for sure.. if they are smarter than us.. which considering the size of the Universe.. is a likelihood of course…
We can thank Islam for these tools of the aided eye of human.. in part.. by the Golden Age of Islam’s increasing Wisdom in the way of Science.. that did not listen to the closed minded ways of Christianity’s rule of Nations then.. and stay closed up..
So Credit Muhammad here again..
Sadly the worst way to God is through the worship of another person.. as when that other person is worshipped instead of God within.. God may be lost or never found within.. per the individual’s perceptions and feelings of God within.. and that is the saddest part of the way modern Christianity is interpreted.. worshipping a man as God instead of God that lives within.. as the Force of the Universe in all of Infinity and beyond..
The real Jesus as reported in the Gnostic Gospels.. uncovered in Egypt in 1959.. speaks to God living within.. and this message still exists in the New Testament in metaphor of Luke 17:21.. additionally this verse makes it clear in metaphor that heaven is now.. for those who find it within…
But people tend to ignore that and continue to interpret the metaphors of the parables of poetry in the bible to make Jesus a God and of course Constantine and the Catholics of that date in 325 AD make God into three persons as a Trinity of God.. Jesus ..and the Holy Spirit.. and put him on a throne away from his self-acclaimed place of humble prophet and healer.. and sure that is sad to me.. but it is part of the human tribal instinct.. as gifted by God too for basic subsistence and survival.. to elevate the Quarterback of the team.. President.. Prophet.. or whomever.. to a place of Supreme importance in the heart of human.. as people tend to Love their Leaders of choice.. again.. part of human instinct.. to look to someone else.. for the followers among us..
But here’s the thing.. there are sheep and there are shepherds.. the sheep will follow the direction of the shepherds as they either speak to the heart or speak to the fear of human.. the light is the heart.. and the dark is the fear.. the light is the Angel and the fear is the demon and or devil..
i for one speak directly to a God of Angels as Light..
I for one.. disregard the Demons as nothing at all..
they do not exist in my Universe now at all..
but sure i have met them before
up close and personal
in the eyes of fear
and hate.. so
yes.. for me..
demons and
dark exist
then..
without a
doubt in metaphor
as is.. then.. for sure..
but no.. not for me..
at all.. now.. zero
demons as
dark
for me.. my friend.. now..
God gives me that choice as human being..
with the gift of relative free Will and Love..
Even at age 3.. before i can speak.. i see the Angels
of God all around me as light.. in metaphor of course..
beyond words and images..
as Truth and Light
in Wisdom with
no Words or
images..
that need no
humans.. cultures..
religions.. books..
words.. letters.. numbers
or other human symbols
at all.. God Lives
within.. then..
it is a no
brainer
then and
a no brainer
now.. that God
exists and is
as is now..
to me then
and now..
Perhaps not everyone is born with
that gift that God gives me at age
3 to know God and Feel God wtih
no images or words then.. within..
So perhaps it is definitely
good that the shepherds
Muhammad and Jesus
exist.. to bring
that Truth
and Light
to others
who do
not find
God
at age
3 within
with zero doubt
or fear my friend..
like me.. then.. i would
not want
to take
that
away
from any of
them.. if not
everyone is
blessed
this way
like
me.. then.. and now..
So in other words.. it gives
me great Joy that you find
Muhammad in the bible..
that you Love Muhammad
so much.. and that you
through this
prophet
have
found
God within..
and perhaps you too
found God before you
had words at age
3.. i do not
know this
of you..
so i
cannot judge
that for you.. my friend..
But the bottom line is this..
and i will quote your beautiful
words here.. in evidence of
that.. as metaphor too
of course..
and the Internet
will let me open
the words to quote
it so i will paraphrase
you here.. in taking
a suitcase of Love
and disregarding
all the words
in
favor
of God my

no grammarians

Hi Fred
Thanks again
Your speech is to Imran
But let me correct something you mentioned here my dear friend
We muslims do not worship Mohammad or do not see God within him
When we speak to God we do that directly with no need to any one else exactly as you do
Some christians worshipped Jesus( peace and blessings be on him)
They considered him as God
This is refused in Islam
Both Mohammad and Jesus are prophets …ordinary human beings with clearer hearts
I hope that I could explain my idea to you my friend

No cartoon or comic can blemish the noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). He is dear to millions of Muslims around the world who strive to emulate his perfect example in every way. He was a man of beauty and perfection, one of his companions, Hassaan bin Thaabit (may Allah be pleased with him) describes him with the following couplets:
My eyes have never seen anyone more perfect than you
No woman has given birth to anyone more handsome than you
You have been created free from all defects
As if you were created the way you wished
Here are 5 narrations from the companions of the Prophet describing his beauty:
Moulded in silver
Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: “The messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was so clean, clear, beautiful and handsome, as though his body was covered and moulded in silver. His hair was slightly curled.”

The real beauty of the messenger of Allah is only known to Allah (swt) and no one else. It was the wisdom of Allah that he veiled the complete beauty of the messenger of Allah from manifesting in this world. Had it been allowed to manifest completely people would have lost their senses. Just as people/the women did upon seeing the prophet Yusuf (a.s). We find in the hadiths that the mother-of-the-believers, Aisha (ra) said ‘if the women who saw Yusuf (as) cut their hands seeing the beauty of Yusuf. They would have cut their throats if they saw my Yusuf. (referring to the prophet (saw). – they would have become completely intoxicated with the love of the messenger of Allah!

Peace be upon you dear bro Imran Ali!
All peace and praise be on prophet Mohammad!
I hope that one day all the world may know the reality of prophet Mohammad..
Last week someone commented here in my blog in the last post and said bad things about our prophet..
He mentioned some verses from Quoran..
I was so depressed…and did not have the time to search and reply…my day is always busy…
I love my prophet and I trust him ..
When I have the time in shaa Allah I will search and explain to him.
I feel sad when they look at Mohammad as a warrior or a man of merely tribal attitude..
Imran Ali…thank you so much dear friend!
May you meet happiness in everywhere you go!
Keep praying!
🙂

My dear Soheir !
Don’t be grieve or sad.
Just remember the incident of our beloved Prophet s.a.w Shaeb e Abi talib, Taif, Uhud and khandaq.
How he dealt with the Staithes enemy of islam and his shakhsiyyah.
His confidence was so high I think you must be knowing the incident of ‘ghaar al thaur’ La takhaf La tahzan.
While he was hungry of 3 consecutive days he wrote letters to khusroe parviz and cease of byzantine that accept islam and be safe.
Have u ever think about His confidence.
Let him say (fred) tinker tailor soldier sailors such ppl always there to malign islam and our beloved prophet s.a.w
So be confident
And be like Safiya prophet’s Aunt
And be like Khaula bint zarurat.
Cheer and smile my dear.

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ” فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لاَ يُؤْمِنُ أَحَدُكُمْ حَتَّى أَكُونَ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ وَالِدِهِ وَوَلَدِهِ ”.
Narrated Abu Huraira: “Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “By Him in Whose Hands my life is, none of you will have faith till he loves me more than his father and his children.”
