Mohummed the prophet of Islam is in the Bible and Torah
Mohummed the prophet of Islam is in the Bible and Torah By Dr : Mohummed Abd Al-Khalek Sherba We will leave aside what both our early scientists and the people of the Book say .Let's be neutral when we investigate about the word "Yemen " .In its definition of Teman , The Dictionary of the Holy Book says " it is a place south of " Edom " But what is Edom ? The Dictionary of the Ancient Routes will give the answer The country of Edom began at a line from the south end of the Dead Sea stretched to the Arabian desert areas to the east. From this line, Edom claimed all the land south to the Red Sea, and farther along the east coast of the Red Sea. How far south depended on daily politics, since it is nothing but desert for the most part. However ,it included part of the Incense Route which extends farther south to Sheba the Yemen area today. http://www.ancientroute.com/empire/edom.htm
Another Jewish web sight ,called Iridis encyclopedia says " … One of Yemen's most respected Jewish scholars, Jacob ben Nathanael al-Fayyumi, wrote for counsel to Rabbi Moshe ben Maimon, better known as Maimonides. Maimonides replied in a epistle entitled Iggeret Teman (The Yemen Epistle). This letter made a tremendous impression on Yemenite Jewry http://www.iridis.com/Teimani

Islam is the final religion
Islam is the final religion , it involves and draws within itself all the religions that had been revealed before . It abrogates all the religion that preceded , No other religion is to follow it . In Islam , you can find all the morals that lead to the goodness of people and the legislations that lead assuredly to the goodness of life and the goodness of the hereafter . God says assuring this fact in the Holy Quran What means ' There is no god but He: That is the witness of Allah, His angels, and those endued with knowledge, standing firm on justice. There is no god but He, the Exalted in Power, the Wise. The Religion before Allah is Islam (submission to His Will): Nor did the People of the Book dissent therefrom except through envy of each other, after knowledge had come to them. But if any deny the Signs of Allah, Allah is swift in calling to account. ( Al-I-imran 19,18)
This religion , which has all the perfect qualities , doesn't need testimonies from the others to prove its authenticity ,credibility and the soundness of its tenet and the credibility of its messenger . It is Mohummed , the messenger of Islam , who took people out of heathendom and deviation and led them to the belief in God the One - Mohummed doesn't need a testimony from the non-Moslems to prove that he is the seal of all prophets and that his message is the last of all messages .
Mohummed , who taught a Bedouin man as Omar Ibn Al-Khatab , who used to bury daughters alive , to become a leader of the humanity and to become a ruler of the world and to become among the greatest leaders throughout history ,that is after embracing Islam . Such a prophet doesn't need a witness from any one , because God "testifies to him saying What means in the Holy Quran " But Allah (Himself) testifieth concerning that which He hath revealeth unto thee; in His knowledge hath He revealed it; and the angels also testify. And Allah is sufficient Witness. ( AL-Imran 19,18)
And Also God says What means " "One day We shall raise from all Peoples a witness against them, from amongst themselves: and We shall bring thee as a witness against these (thy people): and We have sent down to thee the Book explaining all things, a Guide, a Mercy, and Glad Tidings to Muslims. " ( Al-Nahl 89)
Mohummed , by whom , God opened eyes blind of the reality , and ears deaf of the truth and expanded hardened hearts , doesn't need a testimony from non-Moslems .
So impressed are we by our love of Mohummed , so overwhelmed are we by our yearning for him , so filled are we with the desire to guide the deviated and strengthen the belief of the suspicious and uncertain people and lead the lost people to the way , We are going to analyze the glad –tidings concerning our prophet in the Bible and the Torah – that Holy Books give glad-tidings of the prophet .
Why shouldn't it be so since he is the man who teaches and leads us . Did anyone of the mankind gave us what Mohummed gave !!! Has there been a grace bestowed on anyone as Mohummed's grace on us ? That's why we should follow his footsteps and look for him in the books of those of old and those of later times so that our hearts and eyes can be happy , I deeply ask God to accept this work and make it for His pleasure , and whatever is correct is from God and whatever is wrong is from myself. God says in the Holy Quran what means .Our Lord! bestow on us Mercy from Thyself, and dispose of our affair for us in the right way!" (13:10)
The Holy Book is still glittering with the light of Mohummed
In a Hadith , narrated by Bokhary and Moslem , Prophet Mohummed says commenting on his position in comparison with the other prophets positions ,"My similitude in comparisons with the other prophets is that of a man who has built a house completely and excellently except for a place of one brick .when the people enters the house , they admire its beauty but say : " But for the place of this brick ( How splendid the house will be !) I am the brick and I am the last of all prophets ." Being likened to a beautiful brick in a beautiful structure which wouldn't be beautiful if it weren't for this brick , the previous Hadith makes the position of prophet Mohummed -whose message is the last of all messages , as the corner stone ,compared with the other prophets' positions in this structure , The following line from the Holy Bible runs in conformity with the above mentioned Hadith . Centuries before , Jesus asserted this fact saying in the Holy Bible " " Have you never read in the scriptures : " " The stone the builders rejected has become the capstone, the Lord has done this and it is marvelous in our eyes "?"Therefore I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and be given to people who will produce its fruit .,He who falls on the stone will be broken to pieces but he on whom it falls will be crushed " ( Mathew 21:42-43)
These words were said by Jesus to the Jews after scolding them for murdering the prophets and refuting the Divine messages , Also , the text shows that Jesus had told them that God would substitute them by a nation that would take their place in looking after that religion "Therefore I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and be given to people who will produce its fruit" Also , Jesus told them about the stone that would be the capstone " The stone the builders rejected has become the capstone" Jesus went on saying about that capstone " He who falls on the stone will be broken to pieces but he on whom it falls will be crushed" The words " will be broken to pieces and will be crushed confirm the fact that the text refers to prophet Mohummed , whom God had supported him by material power, by which he waged wars against paganism till God made this religion the triumphant and crushed his enemies ,these words can't be possibly referring to Jesus and his nation as Jesus say " .............. He is marvelous in our eyes "
These words are not consistent with Jesus , nor with his nation because Jesus is one of the children of Israel besides his words ( And he is marvelous in our eyes ). He must have been talking about someone else and not about himself. Who is intended by the " Capstone " other than Mohummed ? who said about himself " I am the brick and I am the last of all the prophets ? ´ And what is the other nation that God gave the Kingdom of the Heaven to after being taken away from the children of Israel other than Prophet Mohummed's nation ?
Another proof to our dear Christians brothers is the word " Baca, it is the Holy city of the Moslems Pilgrimage, it is mentioned in the Bible . God says in the Holy Quran what means " The first House ( of worship ) Appointed for men Was That at Bakaa full of blessing And of guidance for all kinds of beings .In It are Signs Manifest ; ( for example ), The Station of Abraham , whoever enters it Attains security ; pilgrimage thereto is a duty Men owe to God , Those who can afford The journey : but if any Deny faith , God stands not in need of any of His creatures ."( Al-Imran 96) .These verses talk about " The House of God "and Baca as a place of God's House , which God has commanded people to perform pilgrimage in . The question is " Is there any mention of a house of God in Baca , to which people go to perform pilgrimage in ? -Let's read Psalm :48 "Blessed are they that dwell in thy house, they will be still praising you, blessed is the man whose strength is in you, whose heart is set on piligrimage " as they pass through the valley of Baca make it a well) .Blessed are they that dwell in thy house ,they will be still praising thee, blessed is the man whose strength is in thee, in whose heart are ways of them who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well, The rain also filleth the pools, they go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God) .
But what is relation between the valley of "Bokaa" , in the Arabic version –the word means crying in Arabic - with Baca (The Holy city of Pilgrimage in Islam )? The Arab priests are to answer this question !!!
Dear English reader , there is linguistic similitude between the letters of the word Baca ( the holy city ) and the word Bocaa ( that means crying ) – A big trick , isn't it ? Moreover , The word " Baca " begins with a capital letter and that means it is " a name " – a name of a place !! How dare the Arab writer of the Arabic Bible ignore this fact ? In fact, they did that so that the Arab Christians could not notice it – the Arab Christians hear the Holy Quran recited every day !!
Zion ! What is the significance that lies behind this word ?
And If God says " every one of them in Zion appeareth before God), what is relation between Zion and the Holy House in Baca ? According to the definition of the dictionary of the Holy Bible ,"Zion" is the holy place or the devout religious society " so the word is in harmony with that crowds of pilgrimage in Meca . It reflects the picture of people during performing pilgrimage . The dictionary of The Holy Book couldn't determine where Baca is and all what it says " It may be a place that the pilgrims pass by …" Let it be so , My question is "Is there any" Baca" but that where the Moslems go on pilgrimage? And if there is another "Baca" , why is there not any one who dare to claim that there is a Holy House of God , to which people go to perform pilgrimage in , other than our " Baca" .? These are questions that need to be answered . Are there any one who can answer this question ?
Kedar and Paran in the Holy Book and their relation with Islam
We Moslem believe that Mohamed was among the offspring of Ishmael and so do the people of the Holy Book . On his talk about prophet Mohummed , One of the priests stated that it is Mohummed Al-Ismaly . He said this words when he was talking about our prophet . He said commenting on prophet Mohummed "he was one of the sons of Ishmael but he wasn't a prophet as God had given the prophethood to the children of Israel (Jacop) . We agree with him that Mohummed was one of the sons of Ishmael ,but through the Holy book we will prove that the prophethood would be among the sons of Ishmael .
In Genesis (21 : 17,18) God says " And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God called Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar? fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the lad where he is. Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine hand; for I will make him a great nation. " Also in Genesis (21:13), God addressed Abraham saying " And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he is thy seed. " (21:13)
According to the text , the son of the bondwoman is Ishmael and God has made him a great nation ( in number ) ;It is the nation of Islam , whose census is up to over milliard Moslems now ,also in Genesis ( 21: 19,20,21 ) , The Holy Book goes on speaking about Ishmael saying " And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink. And God was with the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer. And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: ……………"
The word " Paran " Is a Hebraic word that was arabicized into "Faran" . It is one of Meca's names .(1) The above-mentioned text –as you see - is talking about Zamzem well , from which Hager gave her son a drink and it is still there where pilgrims drink water from , in addition , it talks about the wilderness of Paran , where Ishmael dwelled .
The Holy Quran says ,what means, commenting on this event :"O our Lord! I have made some of my offspring to dwell in a valley without cultivation, by Thy Sacred House; in order, O our Lord, that they may establish regular Prayer: so fill the hearts of some among men with love towards them, and feed them with fruits: so that they may give thanks" (Abraham : 37). Also the text stated that Ishmael was an archer, and that is in conformity with the Hadith narrated by Bokhary . It says "The prophet once passed by a number of people from the tribe of Aslam, while they were shooting with bow and arrow , He said " Good , go on doing that – your father Ishmael was an archer."
Prophet Mohummed was one of the sons of Ishmael .But How does the Holy book prove that the prophet hood would be among the sons of Ishmael ? Deuteronomy will give the answer : In Deuteronomy, 18 (17,18,19) God says on the tongue Moses " And the LORD said unto me, They have well spoken that which they have spoken. 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. 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 ". This text is concerned with a glad-tidings given to Moses about a prophet that God would send –this prophet would be from among the brothers of the children of Israel and this prophet will be like Moses , not only that , but also God will punish whoever doesn't follow this prophet .
What do the Christians and the Jews say about this prophet ? The Jews say that the intended prophet is (Joshua), while the Christians say that the glad-tiding is about Jesus . The Jews and the Christians deny the fact that the glad –tiding is about prophet Mohummed , In fact , what the two teams think is not correct and invalid : This glad-tiding imposes two conditions to determine the prophet intended or who the expected prophet would be .
The first condition according to the Holy Book says " this prophet will be among the brethren of the children of Israel . The second says " he will be like Moses" . The two previous conditions are not consistent with any one of the prophets but the messenger of Islam – because he is one of the children of Ishmael ,the son of Abraham but the sons of Israel (Jacop) , the son of Isaac , the son of Abraham …… Now it is clear that the prophet is from among the brethren of the children of Israel .
As to the similarity between Mohummed and Moses we can say , Both Mohummed and Moses had new Sharea or canon and both had an independent message . So, prophet Mohummed had the similitude with Moses besides the same position or rank , and because both of them had a new canon and an independent message , the Holy Quran affirms this point in Sura Al-hkaf :(30). saying what means " They said, "O our people! We have heard a Book revealed after Moses, confirming what came before it: it guides (men) to the Truth and to a Straight Path."
So the conditions of likeness or similarity and the condition of the similar position and rank are in favour of prophet Mohummed . What confirms the likeness in position is the following Hadiz , narrated in Bokhary , " prophet Mohummed said " Don't give me superiority over Moses , People will swoon on the doomsday , I will be the first to come to sense while Moses lying (in horror ) beside the throne of God I won't be sure if he will be among those who swoon or among those whom God exempted "
In fact , these two conditions are not in consistent with (Joshua) , nor to Jesus because they were among the children of Israel . If any one of them was intended , God would say " : I will raise them up a Prophet from themselves . " Moreover, there was no reason to determine from which nation this prophet will be chosen as choosing prophets from the children of Israel was something familiar – that doesn't require any determination of the nation from which this prophet will be sent .
The second condition is also refuted because (Joshua) and the Jesus didn't have any new canon , and no Divine Books were revealed to them . Also , Jesus didn't have any independent book , he followed Moses Law . Moreover , If the Christian think that Jesus is the son of God and a partner with God in His Deity , how would they say that he is like Moses ? !!
The Holy book itself confirms that no other prophet like Moses has appeared among them "So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the LORD. 6: And he buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, over against Beth-peor: but no man knoweth of his sepulchre unto this day. 7: And Moses was an hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated. And the children of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days: so the days of weeping and mourning for Moses were ended.
And Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom; for Moses had laid his hands upon him: and the children of Israel hearkened unto him, and did as the LORD commanded Moses. And there arose not a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face, In all the signs and the wonders, which the LORD sent him to do in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land.
Since the Holy Book itself states that –as you see – that from among the children of Israel ,no prophet like Moses would be sent , How dare they say that the prophet that God described in the text had come out from among of them . Remember they say "it is "Joshua"
Moreover , the tenet of the Christians in Jesus that he came to save the world and that he would bear the sins of people , can't be in harmony with the outline of the text because the text talks about the relation of that prophet with people –that relation which implies " punishing the people who don't follow him " that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall speak in my name, I will require it of him "
The Jews were waiting for a prophet , this is clear from John's testimony. When the Jews of Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to ask him who he was , He did not fail to confess , but confessed freely . " I am not the Christ ," They asked him " Then who are you ? Are you Elijah ?He said I am not ." " Are you the prophet ?" He answered " No " Finally they said ," Who are you ? Give us an answer to take back to those who sent us . , What do you say about yourself ?" John replied in the words of Isaiah the prophet , " I am the voice of one calling in the desert " Make straight the way for the Lord ."" Now some pharaisees who had been sent questioned him ," Why then do you baptize if you are not the Christ , nor the prophet ?"" John,(1:19-25)
Elijah ( rendered Ilias in Arabic ) is a prophet, who is mentioned in the Holy Bible . The Holy Bible states that God had lifted him to the heaven . It seems that the Jews were waiting for him to come back again …. So who would the prophet have been - that prophet who was mentioned in the text – and whom the Jews had been waiting for unless he had been Elijah or John or Jesus ?
Who is that prophet that came after Moses and Jesus other than the prophet of Islam ? It seems that some of the people of the Book have found difficulty in proving the similarity between Moses and the Jesus ( at least according their doctrine ) ,so they directed their efforts to prove that there is not a similarity between Moses and prophet Mohummed . They said Moses died when he was 120 years old while Mohummed died when he was 63 years old . Moses was brought up in the palace of Pharaoh while Mohummed didn't entered it . Moses and the children of Israel crosses the sea while Mohummed didn't . It is self –evident and intuitive that if we use the same criteria to prove the similarity between two peoples , we won't assuredly be able to prove that similarity even if these two peoples are identical twins!!
A Sound minded , far sighted person –if he looks at the text – will realize that the "word "like " in the text means the similarity in position and rank between Moses and prophet Mohummed -as shown above in the text . I think the matter is completely clear - to any one who has wit , to any one has sound mind , to any one has sound heart , to any one who wants not to draw on himself the wrath of God , to any one who does not wants to die infidel , to any one who does not want to have a bad end and to any one who does not want to suffer the hell .
God says commenting on those people who do not want to understand and wants not to accept Islam in Holy Quran what means " Do they not then earnestly seek to understand the Qur'an, or are their hearts locked up by them" (Mohummed: 24)
The Islamic Qibla in the Holy Book
Not only are there prophecies about prophet Mohummed but also there are indications concerning many matters connected with Prophet Mohummed life. These indications show what would happen to this prophet . Among these indications , is the change of the place of Quibla from Jerusalem to Beca
God says in the Holy Quran " We see the turning of thy face (for guidance to the heavens: now Shall We turn thee to a Qibla that shall please thee. Turn then Thy face in the direction of the sacred Mosque: Wherever ye are, turn your faces in that direction. The people of the Book know well that that is the truth from their Lord. Nor is Allah unmindful of what they do. " ( 2:144)
Mohummed was turning his face in the heaven , He was bashful to ask God to change the Qibla of AL-AKsa Mosque, where he and the Moslems used to direct their faces in their prayers . So God graced him ,as well as his nation, by allowing him to direct his face in prayers in the direction of an independent Qibla ,that other nations do not pray in the direction of it . The Jews and the Christians Qibla was and still is the Mosque of Al-Aksa Mosque . Did the Holy Book foretell that the Qibla will be changed from Jerusalem to another place ? Just consider what the Bible says ; John (4 :19,20,21) says, "The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father. " John (4 :19,20,21)
The word father in the text- as the Christians believe - means " God " but it was mentioned several times in the Holy Book and so was the phrase sons of God , which mean "pious and the faithful" . For examples read these few lines from the Holy Book :
I ascend unto my Father, and your Father (John, 20:17)
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:(Job ,1:12)
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. (Methew .5:9)
Fig and olive- Tour Mountain – City of Security …. what symbolic meanings behind!
The Symbolic meanings are sometimes used in Holy Books for several purposes , especially in Holy Quran . The Quranic words always give renewing meanings according to the age they will be recited in – Moreover they give different good meaning without any contradiction - Among these symbolic words are the word "Fig" and "olive" .
God Swears in the beginning of Sura al-Teen (rendered in Arabic The fig) saying what means " By the Fig and the Olive. And the Mount of Sinai (Tour Mountain ), And this City of security,- We have indeed created man in the best of moulds "- This oath has a deep significance . The "fig and the olive " refer to the land of Palestine or the Holy Mosque there . It is the place where Jesus received the message . The Mount Tour in Sinai refers to the place where God spoke to Moses and the City of security is Beca , where the revelation of the Holy Quran was received . Deuteronomy States the same facts. It is stated in Deuteronomy on the tongue of Moses when he was addressing his nation before his death "And he said, The LORD came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto them; he shined forth from mount Paran, and he came with ten thousands of saints: from his right hand went a fiery law for them" (Deuteronomy (33:2)
" The lord Came from Sinai" refers to the message of Moses "and rose up from Seir" refers to the message of Jesus –Seir is a mountain in Palestine where Jesus dwelled . "shined forth from mount Paran" refers to the revelation of the message of Islam on prophet Mohummed and Paran is certainly Beca and it is the same land where Ishmael dwelled .Genesis (21:20 )says "And God was with the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer. " And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: Also the Holy quran says what means "O our Lord! I have made some of my offspring to dwell in a valley without cultivation, by Thy Sacred House; in order, O our Lord, that they may establish regular Prayer: so fill the hearts of some among men with love towards them, and feed them with fruits: so that they may give thanks. (14:37. )
Some of the people of the Book claim that Paran has nothing to do with Beca ,they say " there is no relation" .They say Paran should be a place near Sinai , where Moses and the children of Israel passed by after coming out of Egypt . So they claim that the glad-tiding talks about Moses and the children of Israel . They also claim that the text shows Moses reminding his nation of the places they passed by after leaving Egypt and that the text doesn't refer to any Divine message. If what they say was true , why would Moses say " The lord Came , The Lord rose up " The Lord shined " And another question " Is Paran, which is near Sinai so important that Moses says that God " shined " . As you know the word " shrine is much stronger than Came and shined . And if Paran – as they say - is nothing but a wilderness near Sinai , that children of Israel passed by before passing by Seir that near Palestine … How can it be understood that God came from Sinai then rose up from Seir before He shrine from the Mount of Paran . Is it reasonable –can it be assimilated –that Moses and the children of Israel had passed by Seir before passing by a place near Sinai when they were walking from Egypt to Sinai –This geographically unacceptable . (2)
This logical arrangement can't be displaced as they explained , because "shrine come after "came" and "rose up " and that what will the English text confirm .The English text says "and Shrine forth " . What was the reason that made Moses before his death remind his nation of things they knew and of places they had passed by ?!! and why did he address them using -what is known grammatically "as the third person pronoun" –saying" and rose up from Seir unto them" and didn't say and rose up from Seir unto us or and rose up from Seir unto you ?!!! – why ""them" not "us" ?!! – The Arabic version translation of the Bible doesn't mention the word " forth " as they cunningly understood the significance behind it .
The Holy Book explains to us in Deuteronomy what happened to the children of Israel after their coming out from Egypt and tells us that God had unveiled and Gloried in the wilderness of Sinai and then unveiled to them in the Mount of Sinai and given the famous Ten Commandments .
The only place where you can read about the manifesting of God's glory to the children of Israel is when Moses reminded his nation of the manifesting of the glory of God in Sinai and giving them the Ten Commandments . Nowhere else in The Holy Book tells us about God's manifesting of His Glory to them . !!! So how can they pretend that God had manifested His Glory in the wilderness of Paran that is in the south of Sinai ?!!!!
Supposing–as they think – that their pretension that Paran is a place near Sinai is correct , this does not refute the fact that Beca (also Meca) is also called Paran , because Ishmael lived in Beca and didn't live in Sinai .(3)
In case of claiming that Ishmael didn't dwell in Meca , the people of the Book will necessarily have to deny that Abraham and Ishmael raised the foundation of the House in Meca and also they will have necessarily to deny the holiness of the Sacred Mosque and its being one of the sacred places of God !! Dare they do that ? (4)
The number of the prophet's companions is in the prophecy …too!!!
Though the Arabic version use an ambiguous word in the place of ten thousands of saints ", yet this word means a huge number in the terminology of the Bible and that what the English version confirms : "And he said, The LORD came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto them; he shined forth from mount Paran, and he came with ten thousands of saints: from his right hand went a fiery law for them "(Deuteronomy (33:2)
"and he came with ten thousands of saints: from his right hand went a fiery law for them : The phrase " Ten thousands of saints refers to the prophet's companions that God made them support and back the prophet up . The number of those companion were ten thousands during the conquest of Meca . They reached up to 30,000 fighters in the invasion of Tabouk .That number reached 140,000 Moslems before the prophet's death
The English text adds the word " Forth " which is not in the Arabic version .The word " forth " shows the arrangement of the events according to the time ( the time sequence of events ), in addition to " the continuation of this message " and this runs in conformity and congruity with message of prophet Mohummed – It is the last of all religions and it is the message that will last for ever till the doomsday -as the biblical word " forth " shows .
The text shows that "paran" is the land of obedience , piousness , sincerity to God and the land of the happy ending "Yea, he loved the people; all his saints are in thy hand: and they sat down at thy feet; every one shall receive of thy words." Logically ,this verse refutes the claim that Paran is the wilderness that is in the north of Sinai , because the Holy Quean and the Holy Book state that they draw God's wrath on themselves in this journey and God made them wander in distraction in the land for forty years. .The Holy Quran comments on this event saying " Allah said: "Therefore will the land be out of their reach for forty years: In distraction will they wander through the land: But sorrow thou not over these rebellious people. " ( Al-Maeda:26)
Are there any other texts in the Bible that says " A prophet will come from Paran " Let's read Habakkuk :(chapter 3 ) !!
2: O LORD, I have heard thy speech, and was afraid: O LORD, revive thy work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make known; in wrath remember mercy.
3: God came from Teman, and the Holy One from mount Paran. Selah. His glory covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his praise.
4: And his brightness was as the light; he had horns coming out of his hand: and there was the hiding of his power.
5: Before him went the pestilence, and burning coals went forth at his feet.
6: He stood, and measured the earth: he beheld, and drove asunder the nations; and the everlasting mountains were scattered, the perpetual hills did bow: his ways are everlasting.
7: I saw the tents of Cushan in affliction: and the curtains of the land of Midian did tremble.
The dictionary of the Holy Bible says that tents of Cushan refers to the Arab Cushan tribes . It is known that these tribes had dwelled in Ethiopia and Noba and they had expanded their place to include large areas in the Arabian peninsula . The land of Madyan was located in the north of the Arabian peninsula . And this paragraph is a good reference to the Arabian peninsula .
8: Was the LORD displeased against the rivers? was thine anger against the rivers? was thy wrath against the sea, that thou didst ride upon thine horses and thy chariots of salvation?
9: Thy bow was made quite naked, according to the oaths of the tribes, even thy word. Selah. Thou didst cleave the earth with rivers.
10: The mountains saw thee, and they trembled: the overflowing of the water passed by: the deep uttered his voice, and lifted up his hands on high.
11: The sun and moon stood still in their habitation: at the light of thine arrows they went, and at the shining of thy glittering spear. ( glittering of thy Glory in the Arabic version )
12: Thou didst march through the land in indignation, thou didst thresh the heathen in anger.( the nation in the Arabic version )
On reading the previous text , one can find out easily that the text is talking about prophet Mohummed , who came from Paran , which is assuredly the Holy Meca, which lies in the north of Yemen .( Meca,another name of Beca) . Teman, which is mentioned in the text is Yemen . It is a clear reference to the south of Arabian peninsula........, this is exactly what the early Moslems scientists said when they talked about the previous text . It appeared most likely that Teman is Yemen because of the linguistic similarity and because both of them mean - in Arabic – the south in and because of the connection between Teman and Paran , which has been historically and geographically proved to be the Holy Beca , which lies in the south of Yemen .
The text include the prophet's qualities ,which involves the spiritual power which the text refers to by saying (His glory covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his praise."),and also involves the material power , to which the rest of text refers to by saying ( threshing the heathen , the flying arrows , and shining glittering spear , horses .". It is clear that our prophet had these qualities and no one else had them but prophet Mohummed, he was a mercy to the world and a weapon against polytheists ….with all of these qualities and characteristics that are in consistent with prophet Mohummed , the people of the Book denied that our prophet had all of these qualities , still they couldn't tell us who the prophet ,whom the previous text talks about, is !!! By so doing , they deny that Teman is the land of Yemen and insist that Paran should be a wilderness between Sinai and Palastine and that there is no relation between it and holy Meca (Beca ) – They tried to convince us that the phonetic and linguistic similitude is nothing but accidental matter ……….
Teman , about which the Dictionary of the Holy Book says it is in the south of Edom means , in all the Special dictionaries , " the south ". If Teman , as the Dictionary of the Holy Book says , lies in the south of Edom and " Yemen lies -as the Dictionary of the Old Routes " in the south of Edom . . and the Hebraic meaning of Teman and Yemen is " south " ,so what we conclude intuitively is that "Teman is undoubtedly Yemen itself . " Anyway , in addition to all the proofs that lead to the fact that " Teman is "Yemen itself , all the scientific sources that we found and which are speaking directly about Yemen have saved us the efforts of concluding – What do they say ? The Jewish encyclopedia says Jewish traveler; born at Salonica, Turkey. On the occasion of a business trip to Yemen, Arabia, in 1874, he studied the situation of the Jews of that region, and published an account of his travels in a volume written in Judæo-Spanish, entitled "Zikron Teman ó el Viage en el Yémen"

CARASSO, DAVID SAMUEL
A another web sight which is called wikipedia says" Yemenite Jews, Standard Hebrew Temani, Tiberian Hebrew Têmānî; plural, Standard Hebrew Temanim, Tiberian Hebrew Têmānîm) are those Jews who live, or whose recent ancestors lived, in Yemen "far south", Standard Hebrew Teman, Tiberian Hebrew Têmān), a nation on the southern tip of the Arabian peninsula. They are considered to be a subdivision of Mizrahi Jews. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jews_in_Yemen
Another Jewish Web Sight ,called Manfred lehmann says 'Anyone who has been privileged to meet a Yemenite Jew will have been impressed with the refinement, modesty and piety which are the Yemenite hallmarks. The roots of the Jews in Yemen—Teman in Hebrew—start at the dawn of our history . Besides being mentioned in the Tanach (Job's friend Elifaz came from Teman, and many of the Prophets speak of Teman), the Queen of Sheba is said to have heard about King Solomon from Jews in Yemen, located next to the kingdom of Sheba http://www.manfredlehmann.com/sieg282.html
If there are some people who would not accept all of these opinions concerning the fact that Teman is Yemen , we will forward Jesus' opinion to them . when Jesus talked about the queen of Sheba he says " The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here. (Mathew 12:42) . It is known that Sheba was located in the south of the Arab peninsula , and also it is known the farthest area to Jerusalem is the Arab Peninsula , and the farthest land to the Arabian Peninsula is Jerusalem ,so God in the Holy Quran what means " Glory to (Allah) Who did take His servant for a Journey by night from the Sacred Mosque to the farthest Mosque, whose precincts We did bless,- in order that We might show him some of Our Signs: for He is the One Who heareth and seeth (all things). (17:1) . So , according Jesus , Teman is Yemen .
So If " Yemen -as we proved -in a way beyond any doubt - is Teman , we can assure that Meca was also named Paran .. I think it is absurd to say that Paran in Habakkuk is intended to be a wilderness between Sinai and Palestine .
Did a prophet appear in this place where " .. the earth was full of his praise. " and look and the nations trembled .Whoever among the people of the Book dare to tell us who the prophet whom the text tells us that he came from Paran and describes him as " saint " is ?
But do the people of the Book say that " the word " Saint " means here " a prophet " ? They played a strange trick so that they could make the prophecy not be in consistent with Prophet Mohummed . They say the word saint is intended to be " God Himself " and that no prophet can be named with this word . Let's replace the word "Saint " by the word " God " . The text will be read like this " God came from Teman , God came from Pran " . Can this be credible ?!! Does a far-sighted man accept this ?!!!
Yet the Holy Book is filled with words that should be attributed to God alone , the Glory and most High , while in the same time such words are attributed to His prophets . Read these verses " The LORD shall go forth as 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, chapter 42:13) .They envied Moses also in the camp, and Aaron the saint of the LORD.( Psalm 106:16)
If Teman refers to a place in the south and its meaning in all the English , Hebraic and Arabic dictionaries is " South" . There is no disagreement between a Jew with another over the world that it is the ancient name of Yemen . So what is the relation between it and Paran ,that lies between Sinai and Palestine !!?
Those who claim that " Saint " here refers to God and That Teman is not Yemen and that Paran does not refer to any land but the land between Sinai and Palestine " , should tell us now why God says " God came from paran " in particular , though it is a place-as they think- that no messages appeared in , and no prophet came from it to glitter forth and no prophet came from the same place so that "His glory covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his praise. "and stood, and measured the earth: he beheld, ……….. and the everlasting mountains were scattered, the perpetual hills did bow…."
So This "Paran" must have been be of great importance . And it would not be so unless it was the place that received the final revelation - the birthplace of the seal final prophet and the center of the new message .
So who is this Saint or this great prophet who came from Paran and his glory covered the heaven and the earth was full of his praise ? Surely, he is not Moses nor Jesus nor any one of the prophets of the children of Israel because no one claimed that a prophet came from Paran from among the children of Israel .
Replacing the place, that used to receive the Devine revelation with another in the Arab area and taking the prophethood from the children of Israel and giving it another nation were the reasons that made Habakkuk afraid when heard the news "O LORD, I have heard thy speech, and was afraid: …………. God came from Teman, and the Holy One from mount Paran." .
Who is that Saint but this prophet who came from Paran and he stood, and measured the earth and the earth was full of his companions and looked and the nations trembled and under his banner and people submitted themselves ? IT is Mohummed the innermost self of hearts and the bearer of the triumphant banner and he is prophet of the high position on the doomsday.
Oh , Mohummed
like thee , my eyes never saw ,
More beautiful than thy face women bear not ,
Born void of any imperfection thou were ,
As if born as you will ,
This map is photocopied from one of the sites of the Holy Book . It shows Edom ,that the dictionary of the Holy Bible tells us that Teman lied in the south of it . I circled the location of the Arabian peninsula according to its location to Edom . As you see it is directly in the south of Edom , and this proves that Edom doesn't refer to any place else but the place of the Arabian peninsula.
Jesus has given a glad tidings of Mohummed
The Holy Quran says " And remember, Jesus, the son of Mary, said: "O Children of Israel! I am the messenger of Allah (sent) to you
, confirming the Law (which came) before me, and giving Glad Tidings of a Messenger to come after me, whose name shall be Ahmad " ( Al_saf :6)
Prophet Mohummed is the only prophet who came after Jesus and the Christians don't confess that another prophet came after Jesus . We are now to prove that Jesus gave a glad tiding of a prophet who would come after him , we will prove that depending on the texts of the Holy Book itself . In John, chapter 16 Jesus said to his disciples before leaving : " Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.(John 16:7-13) . The word comforter is derived from the word comfort . It means ,according to the Dictionary of the Holy Bible ,"the advocate or intercessor or defender "Jesus went on saying " I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye 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 "
Jesus told his disciples before his departure that he did not tell them every thing and what prevented him from doing so was that they could not bear these things at that time and this is a quite clear evidence that his shera (canon) hadn't been completed yet and the comforter would complete it afterwards. " How be it when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth" .Who is that comforter or the spirit of truth who won't come unless Jesus leave ? "for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you" Jesus said " this comforter won't come unless he goes ." "for if I go not away, "Jesus confessed that the comforter is better than him , so he said to his disciples " It is expedient for you that I go away"
The Arabic version of the Bible use the words " better than" in the place of " " expedient "Also , Jesus says about this comforter that " he will shew you things to come. And all of these qualities and aspects are consistent with prophet Mohummed peace be upon him , he told us a lot about things to come and what would happen in his lifetime and after his death and those came true . Also he told us about the afterlife -He told us about reckoning ,resurrection , paradise and hell .
Jesus says about this comforter " he will guide you into all truth " These things are not inconsistent with any one but prophet Mohummed because he is the person who guided people to the way of the truth and led people to their One Lord , and uprooted delusions ,that had enslaved people's minds , such delusions that led people to the worshipping of things other than God and that led them to polytheism . He showed and taught people the end behind their life and their role in life .. He explained the sound relation between the created and His Creator and between people and each other . He showed the origins of the canon commanded , with aim of reforming people and making their affairs good and fruitful at any time and everywhere . So God , The Almighty , addresses his prophet in the Holy Quran saying what means " And We have sent down to thee the Book explaining all things, a Guide, a Mercy, and Glad Tidings to Muslims. " (Al_Nahel :89)
Jesus words about the prophet is in conformity with the previous Quranic verse. He says " He shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak " and this is also consistent with the generous prophet ,whom God described him saying in the holy Quran what means " Nor does he say (aught) of (his own) Desire. It is no less than inspiration sent down to him "
AL-Nagem (3-4)
So , whom is that prophet that Jesus gave a glad tiding of ? Did any other prophet but Mohummed came to the world after Jesus ? It is self-evident that this comforter or the spirit of truth is Mohummed because all these attributes and qualities are found vividly in his character, in addition to the superiority and rank he has, he gained the superiority and the high rank as he is the prophet, whose canon is general and eternal and he is the seal of all the prophets . But what do the Christians say about this comforter or the soul of right ? They say that this comforter is not a human but a soul ,which penetrates the believers so as to enhance their belief ,and it is The Holy Ghost – one of the three divine persons through trinity !!!! . And if we believe that the word " comforter " is intended to be " a Soul or Ghost , not human – why did Jesus stipulate or impose as a condition the coming of the Holy Ghost with his departure ( Jesus )? Why did they connect this by that ? Is this " soul " better than Jesus himself to the extent that Jesus say for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you : The Arabic version use " better " and the English version use " expedient " which confirms what we say in this context .Does this spirit "shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. "?And how he "…. he will shew you things to come. ? How dare you say that the Holy Ghost " shall not speak of himself; but need to heer to what it will speak . Isn't it -as they claim – a god ? How can he be a god who can not speak of himself?
We – as Moslems – claim that Jesus by saying "I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. " wanted to say to the Christians that they were not ready to receive the whole truth and were not ready to bear the complete canon and that the prophet that would be sent would do that task when the human brain would be more mature and when humanity would be ready to receive the complete canon .Those who claim that the " Holy Ghost " is God ' should tell us now " What is the relation between the " Holy Ghost " that fills" the believers with the matters that Jesus wanted to say but what prevented him from saying (theses things ) to them is that they would not be able bear them .They say the Holy Ghost came down on the disciples ten days after his departure . Was that a sufficient period for them to get ready for the matters that Jesus wanted to tell them but what prevented him from doing so is their inability to bear before ten days . In addition , The Holy Ghost , which they claim that it was the intended word by the comforter had already been there before the departure of Jesus and it was helping him and supporting him – why did Jesus say "the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart " Is there the least doubt that what Jesus was talking about was a human not a spirit . ? If he was a human , who would he be other than Mohummed ,who came after Jesus? No other prophet but prophet Mohummed came after him .
But how was the word Comforter in the old versions ? The word " Periclytes " was used in the old version . No one of the priests dare to refute or deny that the word Periclytes is the origin of the word " comforter " and if we open any Dictionary of the Holy Bible , we will find that the word "Periclytes" is the origin. So why is there disagreement ?
The word Periclytes is derived from two Greek words : The first is " Periclytes " , which means " praise " , or the "praised" and the second is " paracletos" which means the advocate or the supporter or intercessor .The Christian priests insist that paracletos is the origin of the word Periclytes but our Moslem scientists say that the Periclytes is linguistic origin but it was displaced so that the prophecy could not be in consistent with Prophet Mohummed . The meaning of Mohummed in Arabic is ( The praised ) . The word "Periclytes" is a past participle .
In fact , the final decisive conclusion about this controversy is not possible and to be sure whether the origin is Periclytes or paracletos is something far away because we need to hear the word as Jesus pronounced it . So we will have to wait for a day when the matter is settled …It is a day that the two teams agreed on its coming . Whatever the length of the period we will wait , we see it close , very close because our prophet says " all what is coming is assuredly will come and what will not come is that which is far" So wait ……we are waiting " .
Let the controversy concerning the paracletos and Periclytes aside , all what we have proved suffices us – The glad-gliding of Jesus of "a prophet who will come after him and who won't be anyone but Prophet Mohummed is now clear . If Prophet Mohummed says about himself that he is the seal of all prophets and says also that no prophet is to come after him and God says about him in Quran what means " "But God's messenger and the seal of the prophets " (33:40) … Did Jesus say about himself that he was the seal of all the prophets . Let's read Mathew "Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. . Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them." ( Methew (7:15)
By these wonderful words , Jesus showed his disciples how to differentiate between the truthful prophet and the liar false prophet . This criterion – laid by Jesus – implies the evidence of the possibility of the advent of another prophet that would come after Jesus and If Jesus had been the seal of the prophets , he would have said " I am the seal final prophet , so don't follow any one after me "
I ask eagerly and earnestly the people of the Book to consider the fruit that Mohummed gave to the world ?! He made generations of monotheists that declared that God is One and worshiped Him , singing Glory and Praise to their Lord . He made generations that respected deeply His commandments and obeyed them –A generation that believed in His Books and respected highly his prophets and put high their positions rank .He made generations that enjoined to all that was right and forbad what was bad – Generations applied what was good and prohibited what was forbidden and forbad indecency - such of them as are apparent and such as are within .
Here they are the present Moslems , a large number of people that is up to one thousand millions. Under the sun ,they are the fewest ( in number ) who commit adultery that is denounced by God , Jesus and Mohummed . Under the sun, they are the fewest ( in number ) who drink wine ,that God , Jesus and Prophet Mohummed forbad . They are the largest number under the sun who follows God's commandments that Prophet Mohuumed and Jesus followed.
Only infidels deny these facts .These are the facts that no one but a spiteful man , full of hatred feel it unfamiliar with himself . This is the way the present Moslem live , though they suffer from weakness and humiliation ., Just think how were they in the time of their of glory and strength ?
This is the Fruit –specified to you by Jesus – Have you recognized it ?
If you recognized it , do you believe that Mohummed is true ?
And if you believe he is true , Are you going to obey Jesus and follow him ?
A historic Synopsis about Kedar
"the villages that Kedar inhabits; let the inhabitants of Sela sing for joy, let them shout from the top of the mountains. "
Kedar is the eldest of all the fathers of Meca tribes , he is- according to the historic references and the Holy Book, Genesis (15:13 )- one of the sons of Ishmael " And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations: the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebajoth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,.."
Kedar is the son of Ishmael to whom the ancestry of the Arabists is traced back – those Arabs are named after Adnan ,who is the son of Kedar , the son of Ishmael . The places where Ishmael lived was the same where prophet Mohummed lived – It is Holy Beca .
The Book " The Heart of the Arabian peninsula " says " Ishmael undertook the leadership of Meca in addition to the guardianship of the Sacred House during his life time . Two of his sons – Kedar then Nebajoth- took the charge after him . It is said that Nabajot was the first.
In a book entitled Alraheik Almakhtoum , there is a Hadith ( a traditional saying of prophet Mohummed ) about Kedar the son of Ismail .God has granted him twelve sons . They are Nebajoth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam, Meshma , Doma , Mesha , Hadad, Youtma , Yatour , Kedman ,and these sons had begotten twelve tribes . These tribes lived inside and outside the Arabian peninsula .There was not any mention about their conditions except for the sons of Nebajoth; and Kedar,
The civilization of the Nebajoth had flourished in the north of Hegaz and they formed a strong government that withstood all the challenges till the Romans eliminated them . But Kedar's sons lived in Beca and procreated till Adnan and his son Med came . Through Nezar , Med became four big tribes : Ebad , ANmar , Rabea and Modar and from Rabea and Modar came many sub-tribes : Asad the son of Rabea , Anza and Abd Alkeis and the sons of Wael , Bakr and Taghloub and Heneif and so on . The tribe Of Moder was divided into two branches : Keis ibn Elan and the tribe Elias Ibn Moder
From Keis Ibm Elan , the tribes of Bni salem and Beni Houzan , and from Elias Ibn Mouder came Tameem Ibn Moura and Hozil ibn Moudrka and the sons of Ased Ibn Khzyma and Kana ibn Kouzima , Kouzima begot Kourish who were the son of Feher the son of Malek the son of Al-Nader the son of Kenana. Then Kourish divided into different tribes , among them was Kosy ,the son of Kelab and Asad Ibn Abd-Alazoi, the sons of Kousy and Abd Manaf Ibn Qousy Abd Manafwas subdivided into four tribes , these are Abd Shams , Noufl , Abd AL-Moutaleb , Hashem and family of Hashem , from which God elected His prophet Mohummed ,the son of Abd Allah , the son of Hashem
This is Kedar ,the son of Ishmael , who fathered all the tribes that lived in Beca and these tribes still live there . But what is Sela? It is a mountain in Medina( a holy city in Saudi Arabia) and it is 500 meters from west wall of The prophet Mosque .It is from 300 to 800 meteres wide and it is 80 meters high . This mountain has a historic importance because many important events happened at its foot , prime among of these events is the invasion of Khandek ( the tunnel invasion),where the polytheists gathered at its west part and the tunnel was dug between the prophet's troops and the polytheists . At the foot of the mountain , the Moslem made their headquarter, where the prophet's tent was set up . Around it , a number of the prophet's companion took their positions . so far ,at the foot of the mountain , many tribes have been living since the prophetic age.
At the Ottoman reign , a lot of military positions were built at the top of the mountain , where some of the ruins of their barracks are still there . At present a lot of buildings surround the mountain from every part and it became a part of the borders of the central area of Holy Madina .
But what did the Holy Book say about Sela and about the places where Kedar inhabited – The word Sela is mentioned in the Arabic version and the Standard Version and The Direct Translation of The Hebrew Bible. It is nowhere in the version of King James- it is replaced with the word "rock". Let's read -The standard version –Isaiah (41:29) and (42:1-17)
41:29: Behold, they are all vanity; their works are nothing: their molten images are wind and confusion. ( Gods refers to some people describing their deeds as vanity and deserve nothing and the word (molten images) refers to the idols that they worshiped )
42 :1Behold my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen, in whom my soul delights; I have put my Spirit upon him, he will bring forth justice to the nations.( God talks about His servant , His chosen whom He will support and assist till he bring forth justice to nations )
42 :2: He will not cry or lift up his voice, or make it heard in the street; ( this is a reference to his good morals and that he talks quietly.)
42 :3: a bruised reed he will not break, and a dimly burning wick he will not quench; he will faithfully bring forth justice. ( this is a reference to his mercy and humility and modesty with the weak and the poor .)
42 :4: He will not fail or be discouraged till he has established justice in the earth; and the coastlands wait for his law. ( The Dictionary of the Holy Bible says about coastlands that they are the dry lands that overlook water )
42 :5: Thus says God, the LORD, who created the heavens and stretched them out, who spread forth the earth and what comes from it, who gives breath to the people upon it and spirit to those who walk in it:
42 :6: "I am the LORD, I have called you in righteousness, I have taken you by the hand and kept you; I have given you as a covenant to the people, a light to the nations,
42 :7: to open the eyes that are blind, to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon, from the prison those who sit in darkness.
42 :8: I am the LORD, that is my name; my glory I give to no other, nor my praise to graven images. ( the graven images are the graven idols )
42 :9: Behold, the former things have come to pass, and new things I now declare; before they spring forth I tell you of them." ( God talks about future things before they happen)
42 :10: Sing to the LORD a new song, his praise from the end of the earth! Let the sea roar and all that fills it, the coastlands and their inhabitants. (
42 :11: Let the desert and its cities lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar inhabits; let the inhabitants of Sela sing for joy, let them shout from the top of the mountains. (Kedar is the son of Ishmael . According to the Arab chronicle , Kedar lived in Meca and to him all the tribes of Mecas' ancestry was traced back. Sela is a mountain in Medina that is still there and is mentioned in the biographies . "
42 :12: Let them give glory to the LORD, and declare his praise in the coastlands.
42 :13: The LORD goes forth like a mighty man, like a man of war he stirs up his fury; he cries out, he shouts aloud, he shows himself mighty against his foes.
42 :14: For a long time I have held my peace, I have kept still and restrained myself; now I will cry out like a woman in travail, I will gasp and pant.
The English Bible Dictionary says that the word peace is written in the Hebrew Bible "Shelalemem " . It is known that the letters of the Hebrew word " Shelalemem and shaloum " are the same letters from which the word Islam is derived .It is known that Hebrew and Arabic came from one origin .
42 :15: I will lay waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbage; I will turn the rivers into islands, and dry up the pools.
42 :16: And I will lead the blind in a way that they know not, in paths that they have not known I will guide them. I will turn the darkness before them into light, the rough places into level ground. These are the things I will do, and I will not forsake them.
42 :17: They shall be turned back and utterly put to shame, who trust in graven images, who say to molten images, "You are our gods. - God affirms that those blind had been idol worshippers before they were guided
Who is God's servant whom He elected in the previous text ?
All the facts in the previous text are consistent with prophet Mohummed , he is His "elected "servant who " brought forth judgment to the Gentiles. and the isles waiedt for his law ,and he " shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth", he had the perfect canon , that God completed in his lifetime . God didn't take his soul until He had completed it . He shall not fail nor be discouraged God said in Sura ( AL-Maeda ) This day have I perfected your religion for you and completed My favour unto you, and have chosen for you as religion al-Islam." Prophet Mohummed is the person who brought forth judgment to all nations . He had a world message to all nations . So God says in Quran " Say (O Muhammad): O mankind! Lo! I am the messenger of Allah to you all (Araf: 150) And also says "We sent thee not save as a mercy for the peoples"
Prophet Mohummed is the person, whom God protected from people till he informed people of his message and performed the duty that God ordered him to do . God says in the Holy Quran what means "and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles" Also , in His Holy Quran says "Allah will protect thee from mankind."
It is prophet Mohummed , who led people out of the darkness of polytheism and the worshipping of idols and the carved things to the worshipping God The One as the Holy Book says : I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images. "
The previous text can not be consistent with Jesus , who did not claim that he brought the judgment to nations ,but on the contrary he said "I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth ." as He says in Mathew "
Also , Jesus didn't claim that he was sent to guide people as he says that he was sent to the lost sheep of The sons of Israel " .He says in Matthew "I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel." ( Matthew :24)
And the sentence "I have put my spirit upon him: " means assistance and backing up by God and this sentence is not confined to Jesus only but there are many verses where the same phrase is mentioned for example:".. would God that all the LORD's people were prophets, and that the LORD would put his spirit upon them! (numbers 15:29)
It is well –known that the message of Jesus did not appear in the places where Kedar dwelled -that places which are in Meca . He lived in a place where the wilderness and the cities thereof did not lift up their…. It appeared in the children of Israel , a nation ,which has a Holy Book , a nation that had never worshipped the idols unlike the people of Meca who at that time worshipped idols ,to those people prophet Mohummed was sent . Moreover , Jesus was sent to the children of Israel at a time when they got rid completely of heathendom and idolatry .
Moreover , if the text is talking about Jesus , this will prove that Jesus neither will be the son of God nor will he be a partner with God -as the Christians believe - but he will be a servant to God as the Holy Bible says " Behold my servant, whom I uphold "
The Surprise
Dear Christian Arab reader ,
We are shocked as we have found out that The Arabic version of the Holy Bible uses the Arabic word " amm" امم ) that means nations – in the place of the word gentiles which should be translated " الامميين " so what is significance of " gentiles " .?! The Dictionary of the Holy Bible says " the Jews use the word "gentiles" to refer to other nations .They consider themselves "the selected people by God " and the people of a Divine messages ",moreover the word is used to degrade other nations as they are heathen people . In fact the -Christian being also the people of the Book -refuse this division and that we – Moslems- believe that this word "gentiles " was used to refer to other nation other than the Jews before Islam as the Holy Quran says what means " And say to the People of the Book and to those who are unlearned: "Do ye (also) submit yourselves?" If they do, they are in right guidance, but if they turn back, (Al-(Imran :20)
Among the People of the Book are some who, if entrusted with a hoard of gold, will (readily) pay it back; others, who, if entrusted with a single silver coin, will not repay it unless thou constantly stoodest demanding, because, they say, "there is no call on us (to keep faith) with these ignorant (Pagans)." Al-imran 75
These the ignorant or unlettered -as the Holy Quran describes- are the people whom God sent His messenger to .God says in the Holy Quran what means "It is He Who has sent amongst the Unlettered a messenger from among themselves, to rehearse to them His Signs, to sanctify them, and to instruct them in Scripture and Wisdom ( Al-Goma:2 )
Also God says what means "Those who follow the messenger, the unlettered Prophet, whom they find mentioned in their own (scriptures),- in the law and the Gospel ( Al_Araf:157)
Also God says what means So believe in Allah and His Messenger, the Unlettered Prophet, who believeth in Allah and His words: follow him that (so) ye may be guided." (Al-Araf: 185)
The above mentioned characteristics are the nearly same characteristics that are mentioned in the Book of Bokhary .Narrated Imam Bokhary "Ata the son of Yaser said "I met Amr the son of Al-Aas and asked him if Torah mentioned the prophet or not , he answered saying " his characteristics are mentioned nearly as they are mentioned in the Holy Quran -they are "We have truly sent thee as a witness, as a bringer of Glad Tidings, and as a Warner and a protector for the gentiles , your are my servant and my messenger , I call you the man who put his trust in God , you are not stiff , nor you are fierce of heart ,nor trouble -maker , he won't retaliate for himself but pardon and forgive , and God won't take him till he put right the crooked tenet –that is –to say there is no god but Allah –he will open eyes blind to truth and open ears deaf to truth and open locked up hearts .
The new " Praise " that comes from the end of the earth . It is the declaration of a new message , the word from " the end of the earth refers to the " far east " . the farthest part to Jerusalem is the Arabian peninsula and the farthest border to the Arabian peninsulas is Jerusalem, so God , The Most High says in the Holy Quran what means " Glory to (Allah) Who did take His servant for a Journey by night from the Sacred Mosque to the farthest Mosque, whose precincts We did bless ." ( Al-Asra :1) what is the "Wilderness and its cities and what are the homes that Kedar dwelled in and who are the inhabitants of Sela? The wilderness is the desert and the homes that Kedar dwelled in ,that is , Beca , and the inhabitants of Sela are the inhabitants of Mount Sela in Medina let the inhabitants of Sela sing for joy, let them shout from the top of the mountains. ( the Bible revised Standard version "" , Don't forget that king James version uses the word "rock" in the place of " Mount Sela "
Who are those that God say about them "And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: …… and not forsake them." ?
They were the new believers and the followers of the new message , those that the light of Islam made them see after they had been blind in the pre-Islamic paganism , during which they went astray and relapsed backward and worshipped the idols, or as the Bible describes them saying " trust in graven images, that say to the molten images, Ye are our gods." How can " the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voice …….. and declare his praise in the islands " This can't be any thing but the Moslem " prayer call " – Allah we Akbr - ………that call that the desert and the surrounding areas hear .
What is meant by " The LORD shall go forth as a mighty man, .. like a man of war "? It refers to the several wars that the prophet waged to take people from heathendom to Islam . The absolute evident of that is the prophet himself ,who took part in a number of wars that amounted to twenty seven wars within only seven years to spread monotheism and the right .
What is shelaleim that God have holden for a long time ?
Before we go there must be a stop here :
In the Arabic version the phrase " I have long time holden my peace " is replaced by " for a long time I fast ………." In the English version the word peace is interpolated because the Dictionary of the Bible says there is another word in this connection ,it is " Shelalim : it is Hebraic word which is very close phonetically and linguistically to the word "Islam " .I have long time holden my peace; I have been still, and refrained myself: now will I cry like a travailing woman; I will destroy and devour at once.
It is Islam –the religion of monotheism – which God had entrusted all His apostles to report to all people throughout history but people deviated and went a stray and associated with God other partners .So it was a must that Islam should be sent and spread after its absence and people's deviation and going astray .
Connecting and associating the meaning of the word "peace " with the word " Islam " will make the text understandable and the meaning reasonable and clear . The context will not straighten up and become right without using the word Islam. Just consider how will the meaning go if we write the text as follows : I have long time holden my Islam ; I have been still, and refrained myself: ……………I will destroy and devour at once. I will make waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs; and I will make the rivers islands, and I will dry up the pools. "
But if we write the word peace in the place of the word Islam , the meaning will be against the word peace and contradictory to the atmosphere of the text ! Just consider how the meaning will go if we write the text as follows " How does God say " I have long time holden my peace . I will make waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs; and I will make the rivers islands, and I will dry up the pools. " can peace be a way of havoc ? " Can peace be a tool to destroy mountains , rivers ….etc? Let's hear Whoever has answers to these questions !!!
Is there a prophet other than Mohummed , who brought forth judgment to the Gentiles , and the isles waited for his law. , and God held his hand, and kept him , and he eradicated the worshipping of graven images and the molten images , and God made him light for the guidance of the Gentiles and his message came out from the homes where Kedar lived and the wilderness and the cities thereof lifted up their voice and the inhabitants of the mount Sela – in Madina - shouted from the top of the mountains and he is well-known by his numerous wars against heathendom .? Whoever dare to answer ?(7)
The Emigration from Meca to Madina
Mohummed received his revelation in the Arab area and he invited his tribe to worship ( God the One ) . Some of them believed in him and accepted his religion and was convinced by his message , but a lot of the hardhearted tough people from Koreish tribe and the other tribes in Meca rejected him and his message , and those were the among the sons of Kedar, the son of Ishmael as we showed before .
The prophet and his generous companions had undergone torture and torment .So , they found themselves obliged to escape carrying the new message with them so that the new message might not die in its cradle.
The prophet went out of Meca secretly escaping from the infidels' swords that were about to deliver him deathblow and from their spears that were about to assault and extirpate him . With him , a group of his companions who had undergone several tortures and agony by the polytheists emigrated – This did not discourage and prevent them to stand stead adhering to their true religion, which they believed in and this did not stop them worshipping God the One.
Having emigrated to the city of Medina , the prophet and his companions began to set up the state of Islam . After one year , the first big battle in Islam took place – It was the war of Badr, in which the polytheists enemies of God were badly defeated.
They were defeated in spite of being larger in number than the Moslems, and in spite of having better weapons than that of the Moslems at that time .
This war was a declaration of the birth of Islam as a great power and as a great state and in the same time it was the declaration of the downfall of the country of heathendom and the diminishing of its power because a large number of Meca polytheists , who were the sons of Kedar ,were killed . Their glory faded away and their pride had been broken down .
But is there any prophecy in the Holy Book that predicts a revelation in the towns of Arabs and that tells us about the emigration of the prophet and his companions because of the torture by the polytheists and tells us about the ignominy and humiliation that happened to the polytheist sons of Kedar .
In Isaiah , chapter 21 ( 13,14,15,16,17) you can read the following lines – The standard version "The oracle concerning Arabia. In the thickets in Arabia you will lodge, O caravans of De'danites. "Dadan is one of the grandson of Ibraham and his wife as Genesis says (25:1-3)
1- Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah.
2: And she bare him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah.
3: And Jokshan begat Sheba, and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, and Letushim, and Leummim.
The Jewish encyclopedia sometimes gives the impression that Dedan lies in the north of the Arabian Peninsula and sometimes in the south .
14: To the thirsty bring water, meet the fugitive with bread, O inhabitants of the land of Tema.
15: For they have fled from the swords, from the drawn sword, from the bent bow, and from the press of battle.
16: For thus the Lord said to me, "Within a year, according to the years of a hireling, all the glory of Kedar will come to an end;
17: and the remainder of the archers of the mighty men of the sons of Kedar will be few; for the LORD, the God of Israel, has spoken."
The previous prophecy was revealed to Isaiah –one of the prophets of the children of Israel (for the LORD, the God of Israel, has spoken.") and , no doubt , that the previous text was talking about no one but Prophet Mohummed and what happened to him and to his companions .
Is there any Book that was revealed in the towns of the Arabs but the Holy Quran?
Is there a prophet who emigrated from Meca to Medina and the people of Tema received him but Mohummed ?
Tema is a land in Hegaz ,where the Jews used to live but most of them emigrated to Medina , and Tema remained there until now as one of the Saudi Arabia governorates and Tema is the land which witnessed the first upcoming Jews to the Arabian Peninsula , then most of these Jews moved to Madina , so the first settlers of the Madina 's Jews were from Tema. The Islamic Biography Books tell us that the rest of Jews in Tema offered reconciliation with the prophet and saved themselves after the defeat of the Khiber Jews, whom the text addresses .
Let's repeat the same question…. ..
In the Arab area , Are there a prophet and his companions who emigrated escaping from the swords and spears but Mohummed and his companions?
In the Arab area ,is there a another Tema other than the " Tema " in Sudia Arabia now ?
And had the sons of Kedar- who were the past dwellers of Meca- been defeated by any prophet other than Mohummed ?!!!!
This prophecy has glaring evidence and a decisive proof and incisive sword on the neck of Jews who denied the prophethood of Mohummed – but it is assuredly an incisive sword on the neck of those who deny religions , the nature worshippers or naturalists and those who adopt infidelity and atheism altogether. Mohummed the son of Abd-Allah, whom God revealed to him in the dwellings of the Arabs in the sixteenth century AD ,is mentioned in Isaiah Book – one of the prophets of the children of Israel –who lived in the last half of the eighteenth century before Christ . Whoever but God the One told him that ?and whom did he prophesy other than our generous prophet ?
The oracle concerning Arabia. In the thickets in Arabia you will lodge, O caravans of De'danites.
14: To the thirsty bring water, meet the fugitive with bread, O inhabitants of the land of Tema.
15: For they have fled from the swords, from the drawn sword, from the bent bow, and from the press of battle.
16: For thus the Lord said to me, "Within a year, according to the years of a hireling, all the glory of Kedar will come to an end;
17: and the remainder of the archers of the mighty men of the sons of Kedar will be few; for the LORD, the God of Israel, has spoken." King Janes
The burden upon Arabia. In the forest in Arabia shall ye lodge, O ye travelling companies of Dedanim.
14: The inhabitants of the land of Tema brought water to him that was thirsty, they prevented with their bread him that fled.
15: For they fled from the swords, from the drawn sword, and from the bent bow, and from the grievousness of war.
16: For thus hath the Lord said unto me, Within a year, according to the years of an hireling, and all the glory of Kedar shall fail:
17: And the residue of the number of archers, the mighty men of the children of Kedar, shall be diminished: for the LORD God of Israel hath spoken it.
The heritage Books and the Glad-tidings
In the previous texts ,we have analyzed some of the texts that talk about prophet Mohummed and a bout Islam - the final seal religion that includes all the Divine religions . I have chosen the previous texts from several texts that still existent in the Holy Book without displacing or change . There are a lot of texts that talk about the prophet but I did not write them in this research because some people might attribute them to some other prophets other than prophet Mohummed though they suit and in conformity with prophet Mohummed . What is mentioned in Psalms is an example of this , just consider psalms (45:2-7)
45:2Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.
3: Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty, with thy glory and thy majesty.
4: And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.
5: Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies; whereby the people fall under thee.
6: Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre.
7: Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
These words are in consistent and in conformity with the prophet because he was fairer than all people and God has blessed him for ever ,and he was the prophet who carried his sword to fight the polytheists and the infidel nations such as the Persians , the Romans and many other nations , who fell down under his swords., he was the prophet ,whom God gave the superiority over his companions of prophets as he was the last of all the prophets, and the best of all the messenger and the word "anointed" is not restricted to only Jesus but all the prophets and the believers and the good people are described by the word as the Holy book says in Psalm 105:15 (Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.)
(Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and sheweth mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.) psalm 18 :50
Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus (Isaia 54:1)
Strangely enough , the Christians attributes the previous text to Jesus . Jesus –as you know – didn't gird a sword on his thigh , neither did he have sharp arrows ,neither did he ride because of truth and righteousness . His message was peaceful and spiritual but all of these attributes were among the prophet 's several attributes .Also the word "mighty " can't refer to Jesus but it does refer to the Prophet who waged several wars to champion and espouse the right .
But how do the Christians explain this prophecy and attribute it to Jesus ? They give this prophecy a metaphorical explanation by changing what is material to what is abstract . This might be acceptable if the text, for example, says "gird the sword of right ". But facts like " Girding the sword upon thigh" and describing the prophet as a "mighty" and describing the arrows as " sharp "makes this interpretation a kind of absurdities and disclosed cheating hoax ".
Yet there are a lot of texts that contain hints and indications like the previous text but I preferred not to mention them as they do not determine a certain a name or a place of a message as the previously analyzed texts ,that speak about the prophet decisively .
In this chapter , we are concerned to state some glad-tidings that speak about the prophet .These glad –tiding were mentioned by the old Moslem scholars in their books . They are not recorded -as they are in heritage books -in the Holy book , though most of them have similar texts , but they are not exactly similar , As you know the Holy Books were distorted and some words were interpolated and others substituted and others removed completely claiming that – as they always say – they refined and reviewed them . Because these scientists are reliable and trust worthy and they can't be suspected and they are scientifically honest , we are going to quote what they wrote .
The Book " The Right Answer"
By Ibn –Taymiya
The writer of this the Book wrote ".. Isaiah said predicting what will happen to Meca " Look up at what is a round you .You will be delighted and be happy as the treasure of the seas and the island will be yours and the nations will go to you on pilgrimage till you are filled with rows of camels and your land will be narrow to hold people. The cheep of Midian will be driven to you and the inhabitants of Sheba will come to you and the cheep of Paran will come to you and the men of Marab will serve you ( he meant the people of the guardianship of K'aba ) –They are the sons of Marab, the son of Ishmael . "
The writer of the book says commenting on this text saying "It is said that all of these things had happened in Meca ;the treasures of the two seas were carried to Beca , nations went on pilgrimage to Beca , the sacrifices of sheep of Paran were driven , the land could not hold the camels that carry people with their provisions and the people of Saba , who are the inhabitants of Yemen , came to it .
Isaiah says " Go in pride l you barren who never bore and praise the Glory Of God and be happy . Though you didn't conceive , your sons will be more than My children . He means by the children the people around the Holy mosque in Jerusalem ,
The place intended by the word " barren " here is Meca because it didn't give birth to a prophet before our prophet and the barren can't be Jerusalem because it was the home of prophets and revelations , the previous text has a similar text in Isaiah chapter 45 (1,2,3)
1-Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the LORD.
2: Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes;
3: For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.
Here in this text the "desolate " is Hager and the married woman here is Sara , who instigated prophet Abraham to expatriate Hager and her child Ishmael because of her jealousy and because she had not given birth to Isaac yet . So with them ,Abraham came to the land of Hegaz and made them dwell in a valley without cultivation by The Sacred House.
The people of the Book made every effort and laboured themselves to make this prophecy be in consistent with Jerusalem, claiming that the prophecy has a spiritual and a material meaning .but they did not tell us how God , the Almighty – names Jerusalem ,that was the hometown of prophets as the " barren who didn't travail with a child .
So far , The first text has a similar text in Isaiah chapter (59-63) . Although there are some words that are apparently interpolated in the text , these words are still have some indications and qualities that can't be correspondent to any where else but Mecaa . The text began saying that iniquities had reached every corner in the earth , and havoc wandered everywhere and nothing remained firm but the evil and the corruption .
So it was time for a another sun to rise , it was time for another dawn to emerge and slash open . Although the text reflected an atmosphere of God's wrath and dissatisfaction with the people of Israel ,and without any reasons and premises we find a strange interpolation saying that God is pleased with them and with their offspring forever, then the text continues to talk about the land whose light would come(Arise, shine; for thy light is come, ) while the darkness was surrounding the rest of the earth(, the darkness shall cover the earth) ,the text goes a head in away that shows that it, in a way beyond any doubt, was talking about Beca then we find a strange interpolation of the word " The girl of Zion or Jerusalem ."
In spite of all of these interpolations in the text , yet the text is talking about the new land that it would be the center of belief and righteousness –after the corruption, that covered the earth and iniquities and rejecting God's straight way. Moreover, it talks about people who would inherit the earth and about the end of time-prophet, whom God would send to set the land right after being corrupted and to give the humble glad-tidings and to lead people out of the darkness to the light and to revenge from his enemies, and be his means of expressing His wrath and indignation with the nations that followed the way of falsehood and the way of sin and deviated away from the right way .
Isaiah, chapter 59
59:1: Behold, the LORD's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: 59:
59:2: But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.
59:3: For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness.
59:4: None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.
59:5: They hatch cockatrice' eggs, and weave the spider's web: he that eateth of their eggs dieth, and that which is crushed breaketh out into a viper.
59:6: Their webs shall not become garments, neither shall they cover themselves with their works: their works are works of iniquity, and the act of violence is in their hands.
59:7: Their feet run to evil, and they make hast to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction are in their paths.
59:8: The way of peace they know not; and there is no judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked paths: whosoever goeth therein shall not know peace.
The way of peace they know not
59:9: Therefore is judgment far from us, neither doth justice overtake us: we wait for light, but behold obscurity; for brightness, but we walk in darkness.
59:10: We grope for the wall like the blind, and we grope as if we had no eyes: we stumble at noonday as in the night; we are in desolate places as dead men.
59:11: We roar all like bears, and mourn sore like doves: we look for judgment, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far off from us.
59:12: For our transgressions are multiplied before thee, and our sins testify against us: for our transgressions are with us; and as for our iniquities, we know them;
59:13: In transgressing and lying against the LORD, and departing away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.
59:14: And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.
59:15: Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the LORD saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment.
59:16: And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore his arm brought salvation unto him; and his righteousness, it sustained him.
59:17: For he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and an helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloke.
59:18: According to their deeds, accordingly he will repay, fury to his adversaries, recompence to his enemies; to the islands he will repay recompence.
59:19: So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him.
59: 20: And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD.
59:21: As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the LORD; My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the LORD, from henceforth and for ever.

Isaiah Chapter 61
61:1: The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
61:2: To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
61:3: To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.

63:6: And I will tread down the people in mine anger, and make them drunk in my fury, and I will bring down their strength to the earth.
63:7: I will mention the lovingkindnesses of the LORD, and the praises of the LORD, according to all that the LORD hath bestowed on us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which he hath bestowed on them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.
63:8: For he said, Surely they are my people, children that will not lie: so he was their Saviour.

63:19: We are thine: thou never barest rule over them; they were not called by thy name.
Dear English reader the :
Dear Arab Christians notice the verse "….this that is glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength? is not in the Arabic version .
As to " Bosra ", no one knows where it is now , the Dictionary of the Holy Bible can not determine where it is exactly , it says " it may be a land near the Dead Sea which is called " Al-Batra ". The Jewish Encyclopedia defines the meaning as " a land of sheep but its location is not known" . It goes on saying that "we- meaning the Jews - are still waiting for that he will come from Edom –The expected saviour of the Jews .
The biography books tells us that BUZRA is one of the cities in Al-Sham . Also , the biography books says it was a leading business centre where the people of Meca used to buy goods and cloth – the caravans used to bring such goods from Buzra .
63:1Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save.
63:2: Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winefat?
63:3: I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with me: for I will tread them in mine anger, and trample them in my fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment.
63:4: For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is come.
63:5: And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: therefore mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my fury, it upheld me.
The whole of the text- as you see – is speaking about God's new city and the end of time-prophet ,whom God will send along with his nation to inherit the land and put the right into effect after the spread of iniquities and corruption and to lead people out of the darkness to the light and to revenge –by him – from His enemies
The text explains, in detail , the conditions that dominated the earth and preceded the advent of the Prophet " and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear. … For your hands are defiled with blood …conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity… They hatch cockatrice' eggs ….their works are works of iniquity, and the act of violence is in their hands…. None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth for truth … Their feet run to evil, and they make… hast to shed innocent blood…The way of peace they know not… In transgressing and lying against the LORD …… and departing away from our God ….. speaking oppression and revolt…. Therefore is judgment far from us…. For our transgressions are multiplied before thee….. our sins testify against us ……….. we wait for light, but behold obscurity ….. And he saw that there was no man……….. and wondered that there was no intercessor: "
These conditions had never been accumulated and mingled and were not too bad like the time before the advent of the prophet –who came after non- prophets period , and these conditions were not as such before Jesus and his saying "and he saw that there was no man" is compatible with the conditions of humanity before the appearance of prophet Mohummed ; and the text is not compatible with the conditions of humanity before Jesus advent ; at that time, the land had never been void of the pious and the believers who invited to the goodness ,not only that but also Jesus was sent in the time of "John the baptizer " ,who is called Yahya also .
Also , the text indicates clearly that the scientists of the children of Israel had diverted the Book and that they lied against God and "In transgressing and lying against the LORD, and departing away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood. (59:13) . Also , there is an indication to the light that would shine on the gentiles ." And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising."(60:3)
In the Arabic version of the Bible , there is an attempt of counterfeiting in this text , as the Arabic version use the word " nations " in the place of gentiles – The word nation in Arabic means people while gentiles means people other than the Jews . The Arabic translation of the word nation is spelt a little like the translation of the word gentiles .Also , we find a clear indication to the caravan of camels that used to come from the south of Arabian Peninsula , which is referred to as the kingdom of Sheba (60:6)
"The multitude of camels shall cover thee, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; all they from Sheba". And this prophecy did not happen in Jerusalem but it actually happened in Meca .This prophecy must have happened in the past as the age of camels caravan ended …
Also , we find in the previous text of Isaiah an indication about sacrificing animals
"All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together unto thee, the rams of Nebaioth shall minister unto thee: they shall come up with acceptance on mine altar"
And this confirms that the prophecy is talking about Beca ,not Jerusalem because Jerusalem did not have any relation with the flocks of Kedar , to whom the tribes of the Arabs had blood kinship , and about whom the Holy Book telsl us that he lived in the dwellings of the Arabs . "The oracle concerning Arabia. ..............all the glory of Kedar will come to an end " The standard Version of the Bible " It is clear for every one that sacrificing animals is one of the holy rites of pilgrimage in Islam . The word " oracle " is mentioned in the Standard version of the Bible but not found in the King James Version
In the previous text , we find three indications about the routes that the pilgrims walk in on their journey to do pilgrimage .
60 : 6:The multitude of camels shall cover thee, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; all they from Sheba shall come: they shall bring gold and incense; and they shall shew forth the praises of the LORD.
60 : 8: Who are these that fly as a cloud, and as the doves to their windows?
60 :9 Surely the isles shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring thy sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, unto the name of the LORD thy God, and to the Holy One of Israel, because he hath glorified thee.
The first one is talking about camels and in the second one he wonders about those who fly as a cloud, and as the doves to their windows and does not know whom they are and it a clear indication to planes ( that are used today ) and the third one refers to "ships" . About the word Tarshish , the dictionary of the Holy Book doesn't determine what is exactly meant by it . It says that it was a well –known place in the time of Solomon and also , it says that it was a name connected with a place in Spain during the reign of the Arabs and it finally says that "it is a word that refers to the big ships- The dictionary of the Holy Bible gives the preference to this meaning , which outweighs the other meanings " .
Also , in the text , there is a reference to the characteristics of the companions of the prophet .
(61-9) And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles, and their offspring among the people: all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed which the LORD hath blessed.
(61:11) For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.
And it is the same quality that God described them with in Holy Quran , God says in Sura Al-Fath (29) what means . "Muhammad is the messenger of Allah; and those who are with him are strong against Unbelievers, (but) compassionate amongst each other. Thou wilt see them bow and prostrate themselves (in prayer), seeking Grace from Allah and (His) Good Pleasure. On their faces are their marks, (being) the traces of their prostration. This is their similitude in the Taurat; and their similitude in the Gospel is: like a seed which sends forth its blade, then makes it strong; it then becomes thick, and it stands on its own stem, (filling) the sowers with wonder and delight. As a result, it fills the Unbelievers with rage at them. Allah has promised those among them who believe and do righteous deeds forgiveness, and a great "
Also , the text gives a reference to our early Moslem fathers' victory and to what they had done to purify and clean the land from idols . " Go through, go through the gates; prepare ye the way of the people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up a standard for the people "(62:10)
Also , in the text you can read about the non-Arabs who build the walls of Beca : ":And the sons of strangers shall build up thy walls, (10:60) I n fact , there are a large number of experienced working force from all over the world that work in Beca now and construct its castles under and above the ground …
And we find a clear indication to the abundant wealth and treasures that God would bestow on this land " the abundance of the sea shall be turned to you, the wealth of the nations shall come to you.(Isaiah 60:5). ( The standard version ) . The wealth and the treasures did not go to Jerusalem ,but it went to Meca , which is the considered to be among the richest parts in the world .
In the previous text , you can read about the expansion of the country of Islam and the change from the state of being weak and few in number to the state of being strong and the multitude in the number of Moslems . The nation that started with just a weak man inviting to his Lord secretly and concealing himself from his enemies has become a strong nation and he ,as well as his followers ,ruled the earth . prophet Mohummed gave glad- tidings to those who mourned and opened the prison to the captives . He led all the nations out of the darkness of heathendom and polytheism to the way of God –to worship God Alone and The Right . By Mohummed, God took revenge from His enemies and comforted all that mourned "21: Thy people also shall be all righteous: they shall inherit the land for ever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified. 22: A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I the LORD will hasten it in his time. The people of the Book should now tell us a bout any prophet ,in him the qualities of changing into power and the proliferation in number mingled , after he had lacked them before , they should tell us about a prophet who gave glad tidings to the humble and comforted the mourners and took revenge from God's enemies other than our generous prophet .
Also there is an indication that the nation of Islam would inherit the other nations : : but you shall be called the priests of the LORD, men shall speak of you as the ministers of our God; you shall eat the wealth of the nations, and in their riches you shall glory.. "The Standard version"
The strongest absolute -evidence that the nation of Islam had actually inherited the other nations is that the east land ,that include the land of Sham , the land of Arab countries and the Persian towns had become Islamic countries . –those lands that used to be the stronghold of the birth and the growth and the spread of the previous messages . A part from this land , the rest of the earth is covered now with the atheism , materialism and naturalism .Those lands that the Holy Book's talk , including the Old and New Testaments, is almost confined to them , and to the history of the nations and the prophets that lived in . Those lands became Moslem countries .
God says in the Holy Quran what means " "….And Allah hath full power and control over His affairs; but most among mankind know it not " (Yousef :21)
The text also indicates that people would go to this land and seek to visit it and that it would be the much –frequented visited land . " and thou shalt be called, Sought out, A city not forsaken. " (62:12)
We ask those who attribute all of these qualities to Jerusalem " When did all of these qualities come true ?" These qualities must have been actually come true as we have already shown . What the Jews claim about the prophecy is nonsense and false , the claim that this prophecy has not come true yet and that the savior , who will lead them the to victory , and who will revenge for their sake , and who will the world be trodden under his feet and who will sprinkle his garments by the blood of people has not come true yet and they are still waiting for him . All these pretensions are false and mentally rejected .
The Dictionary of the Ancient Trade Routes tell us that " The country of Edom began at a line from the south end of the Dead Sea stretched to the Arabian desert areas to the east. From this line, Edom claimed all the land south to the Red Sea , as we showed before .
All the books of the Hadith ( traditional sayings of the prophets ) agreed on the fact that the prophet used to wear a red garment , No one was as beautiful or bright as he was ,. Narrated Al-Braa that, he said " I saw the prophet in a red garment and I have never seen any one as beautiful as he was "
No one of old and no one of later times deny that the prophet himself used to participate in his invasions , followed by his companions .
Now let me ask the same question about the prophet whom God will sent in the end of time so as to set up the right in the earth , and his glory and the glory of his city will last till the doomsday and I repeat the same question that is mentioned in the text : Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength?
Does that prophecy refers to Moses ?
Off course , no , it doesn't . Because Moses did not come From Edom .Moreover the text refers to a prophet who should come after corruption covers the earth and mischief stretches to every corner in the earth . So God will send him to reform the earth ,and the text also tells that his glory will last for ever . No one claims that Moses was the last of all the prophets and this makes the text completely impossible to be consistent with Moses .
Does this prophecy refers to Jesus ?
No , it doesn't because Jesus did not com from Edom , neither did he have a strong Companions around him , neither did any of the elements of this prophecy happened in Jerusalem after the advent of Jesus , peace be upon him " No camel came to it from the south of the Arabian peninsula , nor did sheep of Beca tribes accumulated in it !!!, nor did it enjoy security and safety . The first thing that happened after the departure of Jesus was the persecution and oppression that were inflicted on his disciples to the extent that they escaped everywhere . The history of Jerusalem is the best witness to that oppression ,destruction and bloodshed . So far , Jerusalem still suffers from the wounds and complains of pains and still is her motto " the land in exchange of peace . No one of old and no one of later times has claimed that God sent Jesus to take the revenge of his enemies or tread the rebellious peoples against God and that their blood shall be sprinkled upon his garments, and I will stain all my raiment ."
So who is the last prophet whom God sent to reform the earth after being corrupted ? Whom is that God had supported by such a spiritual power that he "preached good tidings unto the meek and bound up the brokenhearted, proclaimed liberty to the captives, and the opened the prison to them that are bound and comforted all that mourn ?
Whom is that God had supported by such a material power that he revenged from the enemies of God and trod the rebellious of God's word and sprinkled their blood on his garment and stained all his raiment ?
Who is that who is Glorious in the greatness of his strength ?!!! I wonder who is ? The text again confirms that the motto is security and peace as its gates will be open continually and will not be shut down , no one will be oppressed in this land and it would not be destroyed.
11: Therefore thy gates shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night; that men may bring unto thee the forces of the Gentiles, and that their kings may be brought.
Violence shall no more be heard in thy land, wasting nor destruction within thy borders; but thou shalt call thy walls Salvation, and thy gates Praise.
In the above verses the Standard version use the significant word " gentiles " while the Arabic version and King James version use the word " nations" and this instead of the word "gentiles " These words can not be consistent with Jerusalem as it(Palestine land )has been the land of oppression and mischief and wars and disputes so far . Aren't houses destroyed with tankers and young boys shot dead and nothing could be hearted there but the sound of explosions ? Moreover , its gates are shut more than being open . Is there a wise man who still insist that the text talks about Jerusalem ? and if he insists on his opinion , he will kill history .
Let's continue with Ibn Taymia again .
Isaiah says ,focusing on the mole , that was on the prophet's shoulder-it is known as the mole of prophethood " a wonderful baby was born and has a mole of the prophethood on his shoulder ……He is the Arkoon of peace , he is a mighty god , his authority is of peace , the son of his scientist shall sit on the chair of David " The word "Arkoon" is a an old word but it is found in some lines in the Bible , its meaning is synonym to the word "great" as some of the biblical texts show .
What do the word "Arkoon and the word "god" mean in this text ?
It is said that the word Arkoon means " the greatest " in the terminology of the Bible and when the Christ cured possessed man of his madness , they said that " he Can't cure the possessed without the help of the Arkoon of the devils , they mean the greatest of them . Jesus said that "the Arkoon of the world is to be punished meaning the greatest devil or the evilest among the people and called him a god as the Torah sometimes does . Torah said that God had made Moses a god to Pharaoh ,ie. Superior and controller over him and as David said to his peoples " you are gods , however the word means " the greatest ".
So David prophesied prophet Mohummed and described him with one of the clearest signs " the mole on his shoulder ." So the 'The mole of the prophet was not a feature of Solomon nor a feature of Jesus , Moreover the text described prophet Mohummed saying that he would set on the chair of David meaning that he would inherit the prophethood and the kingdom of the children of Israel.
: The Previous text has a similar one in Isaiah ,and this text is still there up till now (9:6-7)
The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.
3: Thou hast multiplied the nation, and not increased the joy: they joy before thee according to the joy in harvest, and as men rejoice when they divide the spoil.
4: For thou hast broken the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, as in the day of Midian.
5: For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; but this shall be with burning and fuel of fire.
6: For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
7: Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.
What really attracts our attention is that the word peace in the text is –as the English dictionary of the Bible says - a translation of the Hebraic word " Shalaleim" ,which means "Islam" - and this helps the verse to be meaningful and clearer . I think if the verse is written like this , it will be clearer and in harmony with the context . The Prince of Islam. Of the increase of his government and Islam there shall be no end,
The Arabic –speaking Christian readers should notice that the word peace is replaced with the word " safety in the Arabic version . And my dear English reader ; If the intended meaning is "peace ", not "Islam " why was the word not written "Shaloum" as it is written in the other texts of the Holy Book ?!!!! The Dictionary of the Holy Bible says that the word " Shalaleim is also mentioned in Leviticus (7:29) in some versions . , Any way the problem is latent in the continuous change in the Bible leaving out very important words that may lead people to the light .
" Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, He that offereth the sacrifice of his peace offerings unto the LORD shall bring his oblation unto the LORD of the sacrifice of his peace offerings. Leviticus (7:29)"
To be clear and meaningful the phrase should go like this "" Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, He that offereth the sacrifice of his peace offerings unto the LORD shall bring his oblation unto the LORD of the sacrifice of his Shalaleim offerings." Leviticus . Any way , there is another text which contains the qualities of some one who will come after Jesus and this qualities can not be attributed to any one but prophet Mohummed , this text is in the Revelation of John (19:10,16).
10: And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
11: And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
12: His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
13: And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
14: And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
15: And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
16: And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
Can it be a coincidence that he whom John saw named " Faithful and True " and sat on a white horse "and in righteousness he doth judge and make war " . The text also shows that "Faithful and True " is not an adjective , it is a title by which he would be called by ,or it is what is known grammatically as proper noun " and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True " consider this again!!! , the two words begin with capital letters .
Is it a coincidence that one of his qualities is that he has " a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron"
John did not know his name because he was not one of his people and his language was not the same as theirs , I think the crowns on his head symbolizes his inheritance of the nations of the earth and his superiority over them all . Also , the phrase " The king of kings , and Lord of Lords " refers to the greatly expanded area that would be under his rule and the greatness of his ruling .The earth had never witnessed ruler as great as the prophet of Islam. Moreover , it indicates that he would be the last of all the prophets and their Imam or leader : and it can't be a reference to God Himself because the course of the speech begins with " a person riding a white horse and called the "Faithful and True" and he would fight and rule depending on righteousness and he would be God's tool to express anger and wrath on the nations and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.(11)
So let those who have the science and the knowledge of the Holy Book tell us about a person who came after Jesus –or even before him –named " the Faithful and the True " and had all the attributes of justice and righteousness and fighting the rebellious nations against God other than prophet Mohummed . Prophet Mohummed was famous for the qualities " The faithful and the true " even in the pre –Islamic period , that was the title of prophet Mohummed -even among the polytheists who would say when they talk a bout prophet Mohummed " This the faithful and the true …"
And among that qualities that came in the Holy Book ,and which the Moslem scientists attribute to the prophet of Islam is that prophecy in the Revelations (5:9) . In this prophecy , a female describes the person whom she loves to her friends and describes in detail these qualities which most of them are in consistent with and match prophet Mohummed – These descriptions are also mentioned in the Book Of Bokhary
My beloved is white and ruddy, the chiefest among ten thousand.
11: His head is as the most fine gold, his locks are bushy, and black as a raven.
12: His eyes are as the eyes of doves by the rivers of waters, washed with milk, and fitly set.
13: His cheeks are as a bed of spices, as sweet flowers: his lips like lilies, dropping sweet smelling myrrh.
14: His hands are as gold rings set with the beryl: his belly is as bright ivory overlaid with sapphires.
15: His legs are as pillars of marble, set upon sockets of fine gold: his countenance is as Lebanon, excellent as the cedars.
16: His mouth is most sweet: yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.
What really attracts our attention is not only the qualities in the text , which are in the books of Islamic Hadith ( the traditional sayings of the prophet ) concerning the description of the prophet but also the words " Lovely altogether ", which came before the phrase " This is my beloved, and this is my friend " before which, the name of the intended person was expected to have been mentioned ,the intended name in the Hebraic version is machmadim and the syllable "dim" in Hebrew is linguistically used for (" glorification )
The text should be written as follow : He is (altogether lovely) (machmadim – in Hebrew ) this is my beloved and this is my friend o daughters of Jerusalem.
The word machmad - when removing "im" , which is used for glorification- is composed of the Hebraic letters( ( ד- מ - ח –מ , which could be transliterated in English ( Meem – Heet-Meem - Daleet )which could be read (M h m d ) – which is pronounced as so in most Arabic dialects . ( Meem – Heet-Meem - Daleet ) are the letters that form the word Mohummed and the word machmad is sometimes translated " praise ",which is considered to be the linguistic Arabic infinitive ,from which the word Mohummed is derived , and sometimes it means altogether lovely.
Is it also a coincidence that the " word "Mohmmedim ,in particular, comes in the place where the name of the person intended should have been mentioned ?
And among the texts where prophet Mohummed is mentioned and still there in the Holy Book , the text which is mentioned in Haggai , chapter 2 (6-9)
6: For thus saith the LORD of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land;
7: And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of hosts.
8: The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the LORD of hosts.
9: The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the LORD of hosts.
The word " beloved altogether "that is in the text is a translation of the word HEMDA in Hebrew , its letters are the same letters , from which the name of the prophet is derived in Arabic ; what is really shocking is what the Christians say about this word ;they say that Hamed is Jesus, peace be upon him , not Mohummed . I think that any just ,fair person , on reading the previous text , won't have the least doubt that the "house " mentioned in the text is the Sacred Mosque , and that " peace ", which has same letters of Islam in Arabic , is Islam , and that HEMDA is no one but Mohummed .
I wonder for whom , God's word is diverted and displaced and spoiled . I wonder for whom the word " Islam " is replaced with the word " peace , security , I wonder for whom Mohmmedim is replaced with " beloved altogether" or" Hamed" , I wonder for whom the word " gentiles " is translated " nations –especially in the Arabic versions ?!For whom the word Baca is removed in the Arabic version and the word " Bokaaبوكاء " is used instead ? Is it for God ?!!.............or Mohummed ?!!!.....or Jesus ?!! Let the Cursed Satan be happy and let his heart be rejoiced as for his sake God is disobeyed , His words in the Holy Books are displaced and his prophet are contemned !! And let hatred and vain desire and the blind fanaticism be rejoiced , it was for their sake , people buy the life of this world at the price of the Hereafter , Torment in place of Forgiveness , and the hell in the place of Paradise ! How audacious fearless of God are they !! Ah! what boldness (They show) for the Fire! How unfair and unjust !! how wicked …how belittled who , out of envy, has himself be misled and mislead nations to come !!
IBN Tayimia continued to say " It is said that Isaiah , prophesying Mecca , continued to say " I drew you on the palm of my hand", your sons will come to you quickly , whoever want to fear and betray you , will leave you . lift your eyes to what is a round you , they will come to you and convene in you , thou shall , I am the Alive , wear the clothes ,be decorated by the crown as a bride , thy barren streets shall be narrow for the large number of people and the preachers , your enemies shall fear you , your children will be too many till you say who has bestowed on me such a number though I am a lone and desolate , you will say "who brought these for me ..who took care of them ….. "it was said that Isaiah explained showing what is meant by all of these saying that the place addressed here is " Kaba "because it is what God clothed with fine dressings and covenanted kings and Caliphs to take charge of . Meca is the place that God has brought for her the pilgrims and its residents and also Meca is the place that God protected and drove away its enemies , who wanted to fear it or devastate it .
So Meca remained in its pride , sacred without being assaulted by anyone , an example of this what happened to the troops of the elephant forces , when they were on their way to Meca , they were severely tortured and received a true penalty . It remained and will remain , populated ,where pilgrims have directed their face since the time of Abraham , on the contrary, Jerusalem was devastated and depopulated and occupied from time to time . Also ,by the disgracing whoever wants to assault it , he means Meca not Jerusalem.
As to those who have rejected (Allah), and would keep back (men) from the Way of Allah, and from the Sacred Mosque, which We have made (open) to (all) men - equal is the dweller there and the visitor from the country - and any whose purpose ( Al-Hage:25)
And also , Isaiah says that God says " I thank my Love and my son, so God named him "love" and a son and Mohummed, David is also named " a son " but God gave prophet Mohummed another advantage by calling him (my love – my son – thank him ). Isaiah included praising Mohummed in his worshipping of God and entailed himself and his nation to thank and glorifying him so as to express his position and this is a virtue that no prophet had ever had before.
And Isaiah says " I heard the name of Mohummed from the ends of the earth. " This is a confession from Isaiah of the name of the " prophet " , so the people of the Book should show us a prophet whom the Torah talks about so clearly other than Mohummed .
The Heaven that is filled with the light of Ahamd (another name of Mohummed ) and the light of the belief in God and Quran , in addition to his praise and the praise of his companions , that filled the earth are something clear and undoubted . They are the people who praise God a lot , they must praise God in every prayer and sermon and they must praise God in every Raka . They start their praise saying " Praise be to Allah "and finish it saying " Praise be to Allah " . On raising their head from " prostration and bowing , the Imam says "God hears who praise Him and they reply saying " Praise be to Allah " . They finish their prayers with praise and they ascribe every goodness , blessings , every glory , greeting and mercy to God and the kinds of their praise is beyond any description.
And another clear reference to Mohummed is what Danial said , Danial was said to have stated "Oh , Mohummed you will shoot from your bow and your arrows will be quenched by blood ." Isn't that a decisive clear undoubted statement that has not the least shortcoming about Mohummed . let any person who objects to this find someone else whose name is Mohummed !!!
(Ktab Al-Dein wa Al-Dawla )
(rendered in English "The Book Of The Religion and the State ")
By Aly Ibn Al_Tabry
The Author of this book was a Christian who converted to Islam and died in (247 after hegira) . He said in his book " …..It is mentioned in Isaiah " I , The Lord , make thy name Mohummed , Oh Mohummed , you Saint of God , God made thy name for ever "
In the same book , which he wrote more than one thousand years ago , he says " it is narrated in Habakkuk, " God came from Teman, and the holy one from mount Paran, Selah, The glory of Mohummed covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his Glory of God's name."
The previous prophecy, which the author of the book of Religion and the Country " mentioned more than one thousand years ago is the same prophecy that we mentioned before but it does not mention the name of Mohummed ,also the word " praise " is mentioned instead of " glory " – the word praise in English is synonym to thepraise and the Glory of God's name in Arabic too .
Our Heritage books , which our great scientists wrote are full of glad-tidings that were mentioned in the Holy Book. What we have quoted from these books are enough to assure what we wanted to say .
God says in holy Quran what means:
"The people of the Book know this as they know their own sons; but some of them conceal the truth which they themselves know." (2:146)
" Those to whom We have given the Book know this as they know their own sons. Those who have lost their own souls refuse therefore to believe. " (6:20)
One nation
Verily, this brotherhood of yours is a single brotherhood, and I am your Lord and Cherisher: therefore serve Me (and no other). 21:92.
The oneness of God
Jesus tells us that he was God's servant
I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.(John 20:17)
Moreover , he tells us that the father is the real God Alone and that Jesus is His messenger (apostle)
3: And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.(John ,17:30)
And he says that he can't do aught against God and he can't do any thing out of his will and all what he does is out of God's 'will
Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man! ( John ,19:5)
And in many verses he affirms that he is a messenger who came to report God's word to people
40: But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham. (John ,8 :40)
" … and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me. (John 14:24)
….but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him. (John, 8:26)
The similitude in worship in religions
God says in Holy Quran what means"
Verily, this brotherhood of yours is a single brotherhood, and I am your Lord and Cherisher: therefore serve Me (and no other). (21:92)
There are many Islamic topics such as " fasting , prayer , Zakat , Jihad and veil and the origins of tenet , which are mentioned in the Holy Books , we will discus these similar worship comparing them between the Heavenly Books in this noble research to show that all the messages of the prophets have similar contents and aims and they have never been different . So ,God , The Most High says "Verily, this brotherhood of yours is a single brotherhood, and I am your Lord and Cherisher: therefore serve Me (and no other). "
We would like to say that king Nagashi, the leader of Hebsha said commenting on Ghafer Aby-Taleb 's words that concern some matters in Islam "This what Jesus was sent with , Both –meaning Mohummed message and Jesus message –came from one a niche or source ."
Let's read now some lines in the Holy Book and the Holy Quran which shows that the source of all the Heavenly religions is one, and that God , Exalted in Power, Wise , is the source of canon and legislation , God ,the Almighty , is surely guiding .
The prayer
And Also , in Revelations of John (7:11) we read In Psalm 95 (7)
"O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker."
And in Exodus (34:8 ) , we read
"And the children of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days: so the days of weeping and mourning for Moses were ended."
8: And Moses made haste, and bowed his head toward the earth, and worshipped.

And those who, when an oppressive wrong is inflicted on them, (are not cowed but) help and defend themselves. (42:39)

Ye People of the Book! Why dispute ye about Abraham, when the Law and the Gospel Were not revealed Till after him? Have ye no understanding? (3:65. )
Ah! Ye are those who fell to disputing (Even) in matters of which ye had some knowledge! but why dispute ye in matters of which ye have no knowledge? It is Allah Who knows, and ye who know not! (3:66. )
Abraham was not a Jew nor yet a Christian; but he was true in Faith, and bowed his will to Allah's (Which is Islam), and he joined not gods with Allah. (3:67. )
Without doubt, among men, the nearest of kin to Abraham, are those who follow him, as are also this Prophet and those who believe: And Allah is the Protector of those who have faith. (3:68.)
Also the Holy Quran says in the same Sura
Behold! the angels said: "O Mary! Allah hath chosen thee and purified thee- chosen thee above the women of all nations. (3:42. )
"O Mary! worship Thy Lord devoutly: Prostrate thyself, and bow down (in prayer) with those who bow down "3:43.
This is part of the tidings of the things unseen, which We reveal unto thee (O Messenger!) by inspiration: Thou wast not with them when they cast lots with arrows, as to which of them should be charged with the care of Mary: Nor wast thou with them when they disputed (the point). 3:44.
Behold! the angels said: "O Mary! Allah giveth thee glad tidings of a Word from Him: his name will be Christ Jesus, the son of Mary, held in honour in this world and the Hereafter and of (the company of) those nearest to Allah; 3:45.
"He shall speak to the people in childhood and in maturity. And he shall be (of the company) of the righteous." 3:46.
She said: "O my Lord! How shall I have a son when no man hath touched me?" He said: "Even so: Allah createth what He willeth: When He hath decreed a plan, He but saith to it, 'Be,' and it is!( 3:47.)
"And Allah will teach him the Book and Wisdom, the Law and the Gospel, 3:48.
"And (appoint him) a messenger to the Children of Israel, (with this message): "'I have come to you, with a Sign from your Lord, in that I make for you out of clay, as it were, the figure of a bird, and breathe into it, and it becomes a bird by Allah's leave: And I heal those born blind, and the lepers, and I quicken the dead, by Allah's leave; and I declare to you what ye eat, and what ye store in your houses. Surely therein is a Sign for you if ye did believe; 3:49.
"'(I have come to you), to attest the Law which was before me. And to make lawful to you part of what was (Before) forbidden to you; I have come to you with a Sign from your Lord. So fear Allah, and obey me. (3:50.
"'It is Allah Who is my Lord and your Lord; then worship Him. This is a Way that is straight.'(3:51)
Also the Holy Quran sura" Al-Anbyaa " says What means :
In the past We granted to Moses and Aaron the criterion (for judgment), and a Light and a Message for those who would do right, (21:48. )
Those who fear their Lord in their most secret thoughts, and who hold the Hour (of Judgment) in awe. (21:49. )
And this is a blessed Message which We have sent down: will ye then reject it?( 21:50. )
We bestowed aforetime on Abraham his rectitude of conduct, and well were We acquainted with him. (21:51. )
Behold! he said to his father and his people, "What are these images, to which ye are (so assiduously) devoted?" (21:52. )
They said, "We found our fathers worshipping them." (21:53. )
He said, "Indeed ye have been in manifest error - ye and your fathers." (21:54.)
They said, "Have you brought us the Truth, or are you one of those who jest?"( 21:55.)
He said, "Nay, your Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth, He Who created them (from nothing): and I am a witness to this (Truth). (21:56.)
"And by Allah, I have a plan for your idols - after ye go away and turn your backs"(21:57.)
So he broke them to pieces, (all) but the biggest of them, that they might turn (and address themselves) to it. (21:58. )
They said, "Who has done this to our gods? He must indeed be some man of impiety!" (21:59.)
They said, "We heard a youth talk of them: He is called Abraham." (21:60).
They said, "Then bring him before the eyes of the people, that they may bear witness." (21:61.)
They said, "Art thou the one that did this with our gods, O Abraham?" (21:62.)
He said: "Nay, this was done by - this is their biggest one! ask them, if they can speak intelligently!" (21:63.)
So they turned to themselves and said, "Surely ye are the ones in the wrong!" (21:64.)
Then were they confounded with shame: (they said), "Thou knowest full well that these (idols) do not speak!" (21:65.)
(Abraham) said, "Do ye then worship, besides Allah, things that can neither be of any good to you nor do you harm? (21:66. )
"Fie upon you, and upon the things that ye worship besides Allah! Have ye no sense?" (21:67. )
They said, "Burn him and protect your gods, If ye do (anything at all)!" (21:68. )
We said, "O Fire! be thou cool, and (a means of) safety for Abraham!" (21:69. )
Then they sought a stratagem against him: but We made them the ones that lost most! (21:70.)
But We delivered him and (his nephew) Lut (and directed them) to the land which We have blessed for the nations.( 21:71.)
And We bestowed on him Isaac and, as an additional gift, (a grandson), Jacob, and We made righteous men of every one (of them). (21:72.)
And We made them leaders, guiding (men) by Our Command, and We sent them inspiration to do good deeds, to establish regular prayers, and to practise regular charity; and they constantly served Us (and Us only). (21:73.)
And to Lut, too, We gave Judgment and Knowledge, and We saved him from the town which practised abominations: truly they were a people given to Evil, a rebellious people. (21:74.)
And We admitted him to Our Mercy: for he was one of the Righteous. 21:75.
(Remember) Noah, when he cried (to Us) aforetime: We listened to his (prayer) and delivered him and his family from great distress. 21:76.
We helped him against people who rejected Our Signs: truly they were a people given to Evil: so We drowned them (in the Flood) all together. 21:77.
And remember David and Solomon, when they gave judgment in the matter of the field into which the sheep of certain people had strayed by night: We did witness their judgment. 21:78.
To Solomon We inspired the (right) understanding of the matter: to each (of them) We gave Judgment and Knowledge; it was Our power that made the hills and the birds celebrate Our praises, with David: it was We Who did (all these things). 21:79.
It was We Who taught him the making of coats of mail for your benefit, to guard you from each other's violence: will ye then be grateful? 21:80.
(It was Our power that made) the violent (unruly) wind flow (tamely) for Solomon, to his order, to the land which We had blessed: for We do know all things. 21:81.
And of the evil ones, were some who dived for him, and did other work besides; and it was We Who guarded them. 21:82.
And (remember) Job, when He cried to his Lord, "Truly distress has seized me, but Thou art the Most Merciful of those that are merciful." 21:83.
So We listened to him: We removed the distress that was on him, and We restored his people to him, and doubled their number,- as a Grace from Ourselves, and a thing for commemoration, for all who serve Us. 21:84.
And (remember) Isma'il, Idris, and Zul-kifl, all (men) of constancy and patience; 21:85.
We admitted them to Our mercy: for they were of the righteous ones. 21:86.
And remember Zun-nun, when he departed in wrath: He imagined that We had no power over him! But he cried through the deptHs of darkness, "There is no god but thou: glory to thee: I was indeed wrong!" 21:87.
So We listened to him: and delivered him from distress: and thus do We deliver those who have faith . 21:88.
And (remember) Zakariya, when he cried to his Lord: "O my Lord! leave me not without offspring, though thou art the best of inheritors." 21:89.
So We listened to him: and We granted him Yahya: We cured his wife's (Barrenness) for him. These (three) were ever quick in emulation in good works; they used to call on Us with love and reverence, and humble themselves before Us.( 21:90. )
And (remember) her who guarded her chastity: We breathed into her of Our spirit, and We made her and her son a sign for all peoples. (21:91)
Verily, this brotherhood of yours is a single brotherhood, and I am your Lord and Cherisher: therefore serve Me (and no other). _21:92)
The Prophet Stories
The Holy book and the Holy Quran flow with the stories of the prophets , and if we mention them in detail as they were mentioned in the Holy Books, we will need huge volumes and great efforts , so it will be sufficient to mention some of simple excerpts about the prophet of God Joseph in the Holy Book and the Holy Quran
The Holy Book , Genesis (37:9)
"And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed a dream more; and, behold, the sun and the moon and the eleven stars made obeisance to me."
The Holy Quran says
The following verses that discuss are mentioned in the Holy Quran
Behold! Joseph said to his father: "O my father! I did see eleven stars and the sun and the moon: I saw them prostrate themselves to me! 12: 4.
The Holy Book , Genesis (37:19-27)
19: And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer cometh.
20: Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into some pit, and we will say, Some evil beast hath devoured him: and we shall see what will become of his dreams.
21: And Reuben heard it, and he delivered him out of their hands; and said, Let us not kill him.
22: And Reuben said unto them, Shed no blood, but cast him into this pit that is in the wilderness, and lay no hand upon him; that he might rid him out of their hands, to deliver him to his father again.
23: And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his brethren, that they stript Joseph out of his coat, his coat of many colours that was on him;
24: And they took him, and cast him into a pit: and the pit was empty, there was no water in it.
25: And they sat down to eat bread: and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and, behold, a company of Ishmeelites came from Gilead with their camels bearing spicery and balm and myrrh, going to carry it down to Egypt.
26: And Judah said unto his brethren, What profit is it if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood?
27: Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmeelites, and let not our hand be upon him; for he is our brother and our flesh. And his brethren were content.
The Holy Quran says:
Their abode is the Fire, because of the (evil) they earned. (10:8)
Those who believe, and work righteousness,- their Lord will guide them because of their faith: beneath them will flow rivers in gardens of bliss. (10:9)
. (This will be) their cry therein: "Glory to Thee, O Allah!" And "Peace" will be their greeting therein! and the close of their cry will be: "Praise be to Allah, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the worlds!"(10:10)
In Genesis (37:31-32),The Holy Book says :
31: And they took Joseph's coat, and killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the coat in the blood;
32: And they sent the coat of many colours, and they brought it to their father; and said, This have we found: know now whether it be thy son's coat or no.
The Holy Quran says :
"Then they came to their father in the early part of the night, weeping.(12:16)
They said: "O our father! We went racing with one another, and left Joseph with our things; and the wolf devoured him.... But thou wilt never believe us even though we tell the truth." (12:17)
They stained his shirt with false blood. He said: "Nay, but your minds have made up a tale (that may pass) with you, (for me) patience is most fitting: Against that which ye assert, it is Allah (alone) Whose help can be sought".. (12:18)
The Holy Book , Genesis (39:7-9)
And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ishmeelites…………….
7: And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me.
8: But he refused, and said unto his master's wife, Behold, my master wotteth not what is with me in the house, and he hath committed all that he hath to my hand;
9: There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?
The Holy Quran says :
Then there came a caravan of travellers: they sent their water-carrier (for water), and he let down his bucket (into the well)...He said: "Ah there! Good news! Here is a (fine) young man!" So they concealed him as a treasure! But Allah knoweth well all that they do! (12: 19)
The (Brethren) sold him for a miserable price, for a few dirhams counted out: in such low estimation did they hold him! (12: 20)
The man in Egypt who bought him, said to his wife: "Make his stay (among us) honourable: may be he will bring us much good, or we shall adopt him as a son." Thus did We establish Joseph in the land, that We might teach him the interpretation of stories (and events). And Allah hath full power and control over His affairs; but most among mankind know it not. (12: 21)
When Joseph attained His full manhood, We gave him power and knowledge: thus do We reward those who do right. (12: 22
But she in whose house he was, sought to seduce him from his (true) self: she fastened the doors, and said: "Now come, thou (dear one)!" He said: "Allah forbid! truly (thy husband) is my lord! he made my sojourn agreeable! truly to no good come those who do wrong!" (12: 23)
The Holy Book , Genesis (39:17-20)
17: And she spake unto him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, which thou hast brought unto us, came in unto me to mock me:
……….. And Joseph's master took him, and put him into the prison, a place where the king's prisoners were bound: and he was there in the prison
The Holy Quran says:
. He said: "O my Lord! the prison is more to my liking than that to which they invite me: Unless Thou turn away their snare from me, I should (in my youthful folly) feel inclined towards them and join the ranks of the ignorant." (12: 33)
. So his Lord hearkened to him (in his prayer), and turned away from him their snare: Verily He heareth and knoweth (all things). (12:34)
Then it occurred to the men, after they had seen the signs, (that it was best) to imprison him for a time. (12:35)
The Holy Book , Genesis (40:1-23)
1: And it came to pass after these things, that the butler of the king of Egypt and his baker had offended their lord the king of Egypt.
2: And Pharaoh was wroth against two of his officers, against the chief of the butlers, and against the chief of the bakers.
3: And he put them in ward in the house of the captain of the guard, into the prison, the place where Joseph was bound.
4: And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and he served them: and they continued a season in ward.
5: And they dreamed a dream both of them, each man his dream in one night, each man according to the interpretation of his dream, the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt, which were bound in the prison.
6: And Joseph came in unto them in the morning, and looked upon them, and, behold, they were sad.
7: And he asked Pharaoh's officers that were with him in the ward of his lord's house, saying, Wherefore look ye so sadly to day?
8: And they said unto him, We have dreamed a dream, and there is no interpreter of it. And Joseph said unto them, Do not interpretations belong to God? tell me them, I pray you.
9: And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my dream, behold, a vine was before me;
10: And in the vine were three branches: and it was as though it budded, and her blossoms shot forth; and the clusters thereof brought forth ripe grapes:
11: And Pharaoh's cup was in my hand: and I took the grapes, and pressed them into Pharaoh's cup, and I gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand.
12: And Joseph said unto him, This is the interpretation of it: The three branches are three days:
13: Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thine head, and restore thee unto thy place: and thou shalt deliver Pharaoh's cup into his hand, after the former manner when thou wast his butler.
14: But think on me when it shall be well with thee, and shew kindness, I pray thee, unto me, and make mention of me unto Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house:
15: For indeed I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews: and here also have I done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon.
16: When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said unto Joseph, I also was in my dream, and, behold, I had three white baskets on my head:
17: And in the uppermost basket there was of all manner of bakemeats for Pharaoh; and the birds did eat them out of the basket upon my head.
18: And Joseph answered and said, This is the interpretation thereof: The three baskets are three days:
19: Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and shall hang thee on a tree; and the birds shall eat thy flesh from off thee.
20: And it came to pass the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday, that he made a feast unto all his servants: and he lifted up the head of the chief butler and of the chief baker among his servants.
21: And he restored the chief butler unto his butlership again; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand:
22: But he hanged the chief baker: as Joseph had interpreted to them.
23: Yet did not the chief butler remember Joseph, but forgat him.
God says in the Holy Quran what means :
"Now with him there came into the prison two young men. Said one of them: "I see myself (in a dream) pressing wine." said the other: "I see myself (in a dream) carrying bread on my head, and birds are eating, thereof." "Tell us" (they said) "The truth and meaning thereof: for we see thou art one that doth good (to all)."(12:36)
O my two companions of the prison! As to one of you, he will pour out the wine for his lord to drink: as for the other, he will hang from the cross, and the birds will eat from off his head. (so) hath been decreed that matter whereof ye twain do enquire"... (12:41)
And of the two, to that one whom he consider about to be saved, he said: "Mention me to thy lord." But Satan made him forget to mention him to his lord: and (Joseph) lingered in prison a few (more) years. (21:42)
And then the Holy Book explains what the king saw in his vision concerning the seven kine and the seven leans and seven green and dry ears in long details in a complete chapter (42:1-57) It is the same as it mentioned in the Holy Quran but The Holy Quran summarizes it in eloquent miraculous style in a few verses. The Quran says what means "
The king (of Egypt) said: "I do see (in a vision) seven fat kine, whom seven lean ones devour, and seven green ears of corn, and seven (others) withered. O ye chiefs! Expound to me my vision if it be that ye can interpret visions." 12:43.
They said: "A confused medley of dreams: and we are not skilled in the interpretation of dreams 12:44.
But the man who had been released, one of the two (who had been in prison) and who now bethought him after (so long) a space of time, said: "I will tell you the truth of its interpretation: send ye me (therefore).. 12:45.
"O Joseph!" (he said) "O man of truth! Expound to us (the dream) of seven fat kine whom seven lean ones devour, and of seven green ears of corn and (seven) others withered: that I may return to the people, and that they may understand." 12:46.
(Joseph) said: "For seven years shall ye diligently sow as is your wont: and the harvests that ye reap, ye shall leave them in the ear,- except a little, of which ye shall eat. 12:47.
"Then will come after that (period) seven dreadful (years), which will devour what ye shall have laid by in advance for them,- (all) except a little which ye shall have (specially) guarded. 12:48.
"Then will come after that (period) a year in which the people will have abundant water, and in which they will press (wine and oil)." 12:49.
Having read and contemplated all of these previous verses , we can conclude that the spring of all the revelations and the Source of all the messages is God . Theses all the messages that God gave to all the prophets , and this what God gave to Mohummed . So the great Divine Wisdom is clear by making Mohummed - the last of all the prophets and that his message is the last of all the previous messages - can't read or write , this to make the bad and the suspicious people not doubt . How can't he who read nor write know the history of nations and the heritage of prophets ? He must have been the Honest ,who was known to have been the true among his people . ( True and Faithful as the Bible named him ) He is the prophet, whom God put his position and rank high and honored him by revealing to him and made His blessings overflowing on him and made his message the last of all the messages . Great is the Grace of Allah unto him and us , and His blessing are overflowing , so praise be to Allah as He guided us to the truth. To Him be praise, at the first and at the last as He honored us by the Imam and the leader of the messengers –that is prophet Mohummed .
God says in the Holy Quran what means " And thou wast not (able) to recite a Book before this (Book came), nor art thou (able) to transcribe it with thy right hand: In that case, indeed, would the talkers of vanities have doubted. (29:48.)
But for the Grace of Allah to thee and his Mercy, a party of them would certainly have plotted to lead thee astray. But (in fact) they will only Lead their own souls astray, and to thee they can do no harm in the least. For Allah hath sent down to thee the Book and wisdom and taught thee what thou Knewest not (before): And great is the Grace of Allah unto thee.(3:113)
Then Praise be to Allah, Lord of the heavens and Lord of the earth,- Lord and Cherisher of all the Worlds! (45:36)
Christianity , secularism and Islam
Secularism –being a great danger that threatens us now and in the future – should be mentioned and referred to on every occasion , even any talk should be directed and driven towards it forcedly so as to touch on it ,discuss it , and to show what dangers latent in secularism and to show the kind of grudge that secularism has towards religion in general and religious people . If any reasonable intelligent one, who is knowledgeable of religion matters and an expert on the affairs of the Moslems is to classify the dangers that threaten Islam , he will put secularism in the first place .
Secularism could be defined as an invitation to a life based on no religion and it basically aims at separating religion from every thing in life ( in Islam ,religion and life is one body ) , I have a deep sorrow that secularism has now supporters who disseminate and propagandize its concepts . Not only that but also they call for adopting and embracing it , claiming that it is the sole solution to all the problems we suffer from and it is the only vent and way out from all the impasses . To accomplish this , they subjugate and use all the potentialities - including all the kinds of media - ignoring all religions and paying no attention to the tenets of the Moslems .
The propagandists and supporter of secularism claim that religion is nothing but a secret relation and a private connection between man and his Creator and this relation should not go beyond this connection and social relations , claiming that it can't be applied on reforming livelihood nor on the machinery of the government nor on anything in life .
Secularism manifested itself in Europe in the 16th century as a means of getting rid of the domination of the church priests over society .
The Church men accused whoever committed the crime of science of heresy and accused whoever commit the vice of experimental research of heterodox , and infidelity and unbelief .
For this purpose , the Inquisitions were set up in the beginning of the 13th century and lasted for the following centuries , the aim of this courts was to fight heresy all over the Christian world . People were led in crowds to these courts only for dubiousness or doubtful matters or for calumny by any neighbor , they were tortured till they confessed their sin and if they didn't confess , they would receive corporal torture ,which was even much more painful than the previous one , and if they had insisted on their opinion and refused to go back on their ideas , they would have been thrown into a holocaust .
In his book , What did the world lose by the lapsing of Moslems ?. Mr Abo Al-Hassan Al-Nadwi , the author of the book , summarizes the implications behind separating religion from life in Europe and describes the precedents and the results saying…" In fact, Church scientists had committed a aggravated mistake when they interpolated -in their Divine books- human information and contemporary(to their age) postulates about geography and history and natural sciences . By so doing they drew not only on themselves but also on those whom they represented a serious sin . These scientific findings represented what science had maximized at that time . These were temporary and unquestionable facts that men of religion at that time did not suspect but these were not completely true as they were not what the human science (as whole) maximized later on .."
Such findings - being as mature as the age of humanity at that time - can't be safe from contradiction or change as human science is progressive and upgraded .
The similitude of those who built their religion on such progressive upgraded postulates is that of those who construct their palace on heap of running sand .
They possibly had done that out of the good intention , but it was such a serious act that reached the seriousness of a felony , which they drew on themselves and on religion, this was the reason behind the damned struggle and controversy between religion and science – it was a fight in which religion was defeated badly.
I mean that religion in which the right and the false and the invalid were mixed up , so the men of religion fell down and could not rise .
What is considered eviler and more inauspicious is that Europe became irreligionist and those scientists of religion not only were content with what they interpolated and wrote in their books but also they studied what were handed down to them from generation to generation and what were famous among people , and they interpolated them in their interpretations . The interpreter of Torah mentioned geographical and historic and even nature information in their interpretations and they gave it the air or the appearance of religion , moreover, they considered them from among the bases of their religion and the religion instructions in which people must believe and reject any thing contradictory to them . They made books and called them the Christian Geography….etc , for which God has sent no authority .
Then came the age of science in which the mentality and mental thinking broke out in Europe and nature scientists broke the restrictions chains of the so-called religion and they criticized it sharply and even falsified these geographical theories, which were in these Books and they apologized for not believing in them and in the unseen and they declared their discoveries and experiments , so the Church and her men who hold the reins of power in their hands in Europe protested fiercely against them and declared that those scientists are infidel ,They outlawed their blood and their money for the benefit of Christianity and they set up the Inquisition , and as a result ,the number of those who were punished in these courts amounted to 300.000 , -32.000 out of them were burnt alive .
Among those who were burnt alive the famous scientist "Brono " and the famous physics scientist Galileo , who declared that the earth goes round the sun . Both of them were punished . This was quite enough to make those people of the new enlightenment movement-out of the burden of patience - revolt and adopt the war against the church , its men , its representatives and the conservatives who adhered to the past . They had odium towards anything- including the tenet , culture , science ,morals ,literature - related to the church men , They first antagonized Christianity and then all religions – so it became an ever-lasting hostility between the leaders of mind and science against the leader of Christianity .
Those insurgents decided that religions and science were two fellow wives that were always in clash ,and that mind and the religion system were two opposed things that contradicted each other and would never be in agreement and that whoever turned his face to one of them had to turn his back to the other . To them religion became associated with the pure blood that was shed for the science sake and experimentalism and also it became associated with the innocent,t who were killed by the priests' cruelty , anxiety and doubts
The picture of the church men in the minds of the scientists was that of a long face and a frowning forehead man, whose eyes throws about sparks ,in addition , it was a picture of a narrow intolerant breast and an absurd dull mind man . So they disgusted the men of church and what they represented and they exhorted one another to it and they left it as a word to endure among those who came after them . .
Those insurgents did not have such patience and persistence that they could study matters and deliberate well about it and they did not have such meekness and quietness that they could not distinguish between religion and its men ,who monopolized its leadership and that could not differentiate between responsibility and custody in religion and the inflexibility and rigidity and the bad representation of the men of the church , if they had done that , they wouldn't have rejected religion . It was the reservation and the badness of the religion men and precipitation that did not allow them to think deeply about the contents of religion and linger about its topics , they were like most of insurgents in most ages and most countries .These were the implications and the circumstances that led to the coming of secularism ,that separated religion from every thing life .
Along with that , the continuous enmity between the protestant and the catholic creeds , thousands of the believers of the two groups were victims of this struggle , that struggle was one of the reasons that promoted secularism to appear so as to stop the continuous massacres between the two groups .One of the two groups held the reins of power in the church.
On the other hand , Islam is completely innocent of what the church was accused of as Islam never challenged scientists and never accused them of heresy . Islam has never fought science , and never hindered scientists , on the contrary Quran orders us to follow reasoning and order us to contemplate , think and cogitate in the power and the laws of the heavens and the earth .
In the Holy Quran ,God says what means " Behold! in the creation of the heavens and the earth; in the alternation of the night and the day; in the sailing of the ships through the ocean for the profit of mankind; in the rain which Allah Sends down from the skies, and the life which He gives therewith to an earth that is dead; in the beasts of all kinds that He scatters through the earth; in the change of the winds, and the clouds which they Trail like their slaves between the sky and the earth;- (Here) indeed are Signs for a people that are wise ."( 2:164)
And it is He who spread out the earth, and set thereon mountains standing firm and (flowing) rivers: and fruit of every kind He made in pairs, two and two: He draweth the night as a veil o'er the Day. Behold, verily in these things there are signs for those who consider! (13: 3. )
Verily in the heavens and the earth, are Signs for those who believe. (5: )
And in the creation of yourselves and the fact that animals are scattered (through the earth), are Signs for those of assured Faith. (45: 4.)
And in the alternation of Night and Day, and the fact that Allah sends down Sustenance from the sky, and revives therewith the earth after its death, and in the change of the winds,- are Signs for those that are wise. (45: 5.)
Such are the Signs of Allah, which We rehearse to thee in Truth; then in what exposition will they believe after (rejecting) Allah and His Signs? (45: 6.)
Moreover , God says the more knowledge a man has the more afraid of God he is . God says what means in Holy Quran " Those truly fear Allah, among His Servants, who have knowledge: for Allah is Exalted in Might, Oft-Forgiving . (Fater :28)
Among the numerous miracles that consistent in Quran are the scientific miracles – such astounding captivating miracles that have recently discovered .
It is scientifically known that when a sea pours its water into another , the two waters will go side by side without mixing . Just read this Holy verse .
It is He Who has let free the two bodies of flowing water: One palatable and sweet, and the other salt and bitter; yet has He made a barrier between them, a partition that is forbidden to be passed. (25:53.)
Another astounding scientific miracle that the Holy Quran mentioned more than one thousand and four hundred years ago is the fact of Big Bang, that is the pride of modern science .
Do not the Unbelievers see that the heavens and the earth were joined together (as one unit of creation), before we clove them asunder? We made from water every living thing. Will they not then believe? ( 21:30.)
Also Quran refers to the fact that the more you go into sky , the less oxygen and pressure you will suffer from , to the extent hat you feel your breast constricted .
Those whom Allah (in His plan) willeth to guide,- He openeth their breast to Islam; those whom He willeth to leave straying,- He maketh their breast close and constricted, as if they had to climb up to the skies: thus doth Allah (heap) the penalty on those who refuse to believe. (6:125.)
These are a few number of the scientific miracles in Quran and the sunna or the traditional sayings of the prophet that urge us earnestly to ask for science and estimate scientists and put them in high position.
Prophet Mohummed said " Search for science from the very early age till the very late age " He said metaphorically " ask for science from the time you are in cradle till the time before death or grave " .
Moreover ,prophet Mohummed likens the position of the scientists to that of the prophets. He says " Scientists are the inheritors of prophets "
Prophet Mohummed says "Whoever seek a way to get science , God will facilitate for him a way that guides him to the paradise."
He also says "Seeking science is an injunction from God on every Moslem "
This was the science problem in Christianity . Islam has never witnessed fighting sects and disputing creeds – as Christianity did – among its believers . The upright Islam forbids us to assault the people of Book if they don't assault us or drive us from our homes .
In the Holy Quran ,God says what means "Allah forbids you not, with regard to those who fight you not for (your) Faith nor drive you out of your homes, from dealing kindly and justly with them: for Allah loveth those who are just." (60: 8.)
So secularism appeared to eliminate the power and persecution of the church towards science , and the dictatorial reign of the men of the church ,and being alone with it . This impulses can't be applied on Islam in any way . In Islam , there is not any absolute power or authority for the men of religion apart from the other people .
So, Secularism has mainly appeared to eliminate the problem of the power of the church and its persecution towards the men of science and the autocracy of the men of the Christianity and this impulse can not be taken into consideration when we talk about Islam as there is not autocracy for the men of religion in Islam , moreover every Moslem should be a man of religion and be a man of state ,that is ,a politician as well .
There is not in Islam what is called theocracy in any way , Islam is a religion and a canon , which put limits and rights and the ruler is entitled with supervising putting the limits and the law in effect and carrying out the decision of the judge in a way that pleases God , the ruler only has the executive authority ,he is not infallible nor he receives revelation ,nor he has the right to appropriate with the interpretation of the Holy Book or the Sunna . A far- sighted person is not expected to mistake the rule in Islam with thetheocracy ,i.e, the Divine authority – a theocratic is a person who receives the canon from God and he stands alone with the enacting it ,i.e, he enacts legislation and has the right over people to obey him . "
The goal behind Jesus message was to edify people and to sublimate morals and reform what the lost sheep of the children of Israel corrupted .Christianity did not have laws nor methods of ruling nor a system for society ; it was just a method of reforming people and edifying their morals.
Islam , in addition to caring about the spiritual and moral sides , It draws a up system for society and enacts laws for government and determine means of co-existence and life between Moslems and non-Moslems .Moreover , Islam secures safety and protection and tenet freedom. Islam is a social integrated structure or entity that God has revealed to accomplish all the legislations and reform the defects of every time and place ….
In addition to that , the ignorance and the narrow-mindedness that humanity had undergone in the time of the early Christianity could not qualify Christianity to be more than a method of edifying peoples and reforming morals . After six centuries since the time of Jesus , Islam came to find that the human mind had developed and the intellectual level had advanced and humanity had became qualified to receive the perfect complete canon that would integrate all the canons before . In fact this runs in conformity with the words that Jesus had said before he departed: "I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. How be it when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: "
Also , some of the teachings of Christianity were suitable only for the time of Jesus and the generations that followed ; Christianity ,eg, makes the conjugal ties eternal that can't be untied .Christianity says that what God unifies should not be disunited by human .The obstinacy of the men of Christianity concerning this point had led to the dangerous collapse of the family structure because conjugal life has become as impossible as the divorce itself –and this has led to forbidden relations out of the family scale .
On the contrary , Islam allows divorce and won't make the conjugal ties eternal if life between a man and a wife becomes impossible . So , as Islam has enacted the law of marriage and it enacted the law of divorce and what also God unites , He Himself can disunites .
In a few words the reasons behind the appearance of secularism have never been in the Islamic countries , so secularism doesn't have what justifies its appearance in the Islamic society .
I feel deep sorrow that some of our co-religionists have applied on Islam what had been applied on Christianity and they apostatized by following secularism and became irreligionists .
Those irreligionists are either cultured people who received European secular education and they did not receive Islamic education and they were aloof from Islam and its teachings and its system ,or those who were captivated by the lights and the civilization of the west along with their weak belief and their little knowledge of their religion , or those who sell any thing at any price even if the price is their religion and the heritage of their nation .
Then they call for limited relations (only in mosques ) with God , they ask us to stop applying the religion legislations in courts ,they want us not to allow its history or the prophet biography to be taught at schools ,they want us not to allow it to prevail and dominate society .
God bestowed Islam on us and guided us to the ways of peace and safety. So , we must not disobey Him and neglect His legislation and contemn His judgment. God has revealed a book to us so as to see in its light ,and walk in its shinning light. So we must judge by its rules and laws ,We must judge matters as it is shown to us . We should not make it of no account, otherwise we will be doomed to lose ourselves .
How can we foolishly do that and God says " We have revealed for you (O men!) a book in which is a Message for you: will ye not then understand ( 21:10. )
A Moslem should make no difference between a prophet and another.
In the Holy Quran , God says what means "The Messenger believeth in what hath been revealed to him from his Lord, as do the men of faith. Each one (of them) believeth in Allah, His angels, His books, and His messengers. "We make no distinction (they say) between one and another of His messengers." And they say: "We hear, and we obey: (We seek) Thy forgiveness, our Lord, and to Thee is the end of all journeys." ( 2:285. )
God has bestowed on people by acquainting Himself to them, He made His generosity overflowing on them ,i.e .He guided them to worshipping Him . He is The One and The Only , the truly Worshipped Who has no equal or counterpart .
For this noble task , God has sent these messengers to lead people to know their God ,the Creator of the heaven and the earth …. And to get them out of the state of discomfiture to the of tranquility and from heathendom and polytheism to belief and oneness .
All the messengers were sent for one task ,which is guiding people to God ,the One . From Adam till Mohummed , the last of all prophets , all messages of the prophets were intended to spread monotheism and to take people to the straight right way . What was revealed to Noah didn't differ from what was revealed to Abraham ,and what was revealed to Abraham did not differ from what was revealed to Moses , and what was revealed to Moses did not differ from what was revealed to Jesus ,and what was revealed to Jesus did not differ from what revealed to Mohummed , peace be upon them all . God says in the Holy Quran what means " The same religion has He established for you as that which He enjoined on Noah - the which We have sent by inspiration to thee - and that which We enjoined on Abraham, Moses, and Jesus: Namely, that ye should remain steadfast in religion, and make no divisions therein: "(42:13.)
So , God orders us not to distinguish between any of His messengers, All of them had one goal , All of them had one end ,which is " worshipping God the One."
It is unthinkable that the messages of all prophets differ in the matter of tenet , because tenet is a kind of telling -telling about something can't be different from the person who tells and another a person who does the same thing -If both tell the truth . It is not reasonable that Abraham called his nation to reject idolatry and to worship God the One , then Moses came to get the sons of Israel out of Egypt to worship God the One the, Lord of their fathers Abraham and Isaiah and Jacob , then Jesus came after all of these to say that God is one of three in trinity .!!! Simply because the tenet of Deity can't be changed from one prophet to another , it has never been different . The tenet can't be incomplete or unclear , then another prophet is to come to complete it and show it .
Is it reasonable that all the prophets who had come before Jesus had lived and had died without knowing the truth of God ( tenet), who sent them and for Whom they devoted their life , for supporting His invitation and putting His word high and raising high His banner .
This can be applied on the matter of tenet , but it can't be applied on the matter of canon ,which can differ from time to time as canon is a thing that is made (by God ). So God sent all his messengers with one tenet but the canon differed from one prophet to another with slight ratios . Jesus came confirming the tenet of Moses and integrating his canon and Mohummed came confirming the tenet of Jesus and integrating his canon and all the previous canons –He is the seal of all the prophets and his Canon is the seal of all the canons.
These prophets ,when they teach us and take us by hand , never claimed that they are more than human beings nor did they claim that they were created from different special clay , nor did they claim that they were from a distinguished race that differ from all races of people , So God has ordered His servant and messenger saying in Holy Quran what means " Say: "I am but a man like yourselves, (but) the inspiration has come to me, that your Allah is one Allah "(18:110. )
In the Holy Quran we read that On the doomsday , God will say to Jesus as well as his mother , though he knows well what is in his heart " And behold! Allah will say: "O Jesus the son of Mary! Didst thou say unto men, worship me and my mother as gods in derogation of Allah'?" He will say: "Glory to Thee! never could I say what I had no right (to say). Had I said such a thing, thou wouldst indeed have known it. Thou knowest what is in my heart, Thou I know not what is in Thine. For Thou knowest in full all that is hidden."( 5:116. )
We have received the message of the prophet Jesus and the message of Prophet Mohummed and all the messages of all the prophets . We should not aside with any one or cling fanatically to any one but God . Even Mohummed can't do aught to us against God but even he can't do aught to himself . He said to his daughter " Oh , Fatema , work in the obedience of God because I can't do aught against God to help you " neither can Jesus and neither can all the prophets can do aught against God for us .
God says in the Holy Quran what means " In blasphemy indeed are those that say that Allah is Christ the son of Mary. Say: "Who then hath the least power against Allah, if His will were to destroy Christ the son of Mary, his mother, and all every - one that is on the earth? For to Allah belongeth the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and all that is between. He createth what He pleaseth. For Allah hath power over all things." (5:17)
The upright Islam orders us to believe in all the prophets and to believe in Jesus, who is God's word , which he conveyed into Mary and a spirit from Him. God orders us to believe in his miraculous birth without a father and also by his miraculous end by lifting him up to heaven ; further more , a Moslem can't be a Moslem without believing in what we have already said about him .
So every human being should care about what concerns himself because no one will bear his sin , no one will remove anyone's sin – only the belief in God , obeying his orders and avoiding what He banned can do this .
The Holy Quran says what means … "each individual in pledge for his deeds. And Also says "Every soul will be (held) in pledge for its deeds." (38:47)
And Also says "No bearer of burdens can bear of burdens can bear the burden of another. Your goal in the end is towards Allah: He will tell you the truth of the things wherein ye disputed." (6:164.)
The Holy Bible says " The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him"( Ezekiel 18:20)
This what God has taught us ,
and this what Islam taught us ,and this what Mohummed , and Jesus taught us and this what all the messengers of God taught us .
Aren't we going to pay attention to this matter ?
Aren't we going to repent and be in reconciliation with God ?
Aren't we going to reject our passion and put aside the bad inclination and avoid deflection and put fanaticism aside only for the sake of God the Only ?
Aren't you Moslems going back to God and do what our ancestors did and back His canon up and put His canon high after we got lost and scattered about from His path and followed the crooked way ?
These our conditions and state became crooked because we departed God's way and bolted a way from Mohummed's guidance and we became preoccupied with life and the false hope beguiled us and became afflicted with feebleness and we became plunder for all nations and a goal that all nations covet for
To every defeated goes his captive
Yet, in their prison still our captives
Never did I saw lashes stained with blood ,
But Burdened with our victims flesh ,
Willingly ,on the edge of swords we die
And of us is Death ashamed
Dear brothers in Islam , Dear brothers in humanity ,
This is the prophet, whose glory goes beyond every imagined greatness!
This is the prophet ,whose mention went beyond every border ,
God's honor for him is clear to every one .?
Mohummed , whose mention in the books of the older and later ones deserves to be followed . Follow the light that with him and leave this false life and put aside the invalid wishes and spread his message and put his invitation high .
He has committed to you his trust ….Did you render it back ?!
He left you the greatest message …….Did you keep it?
And apart from the deviated people , you have know the truth …have you lived for this truth ?
Our Lord!" (they say), "Let not our hearts deviate now after Thou hast guided us, but grant us mercy from Thine own Presence; for Thou art the Grantor of bounties without measure . ( Al_imran : 8)
Our Lord! we believe in what Thou hast revealed, and we follow the Messenger; then write us down among those who bear witness." ( Al_imran : 53)

________________________________________
(1) For further reading , read the dictionary of " Buldan " , the chapter of the the Arabic letter " ف"
(2) The references are incongruous about the place of Seir , the dictionary of " Falasteen "extinguishes between Seir and Saeer saying that Saer was a small town near the town of Nasera between Tabrya and Aka on the Romanian borders and says about sa'er that it was town that is 8 km to the east of AL-Khili and about 3 km to the east of Hloul . It was famous for cultivating olives and figs .
Al-harawi ,who died in 611 HG , says that Saeer is a mountain near Nasera . The Book of " Nokhbat Al_Daher says that it is the mountain of Nasera , and the author of "Nehya AL-Erab in Fonoun A-Adb " says that Saeer is the mountain of Al-Sham where the prophecy of Jesus appeared and it is near Al-Nasera . The modern sources , which talk about the geography of Palestine say that Saeer is a mountain of the mountains of Khalil ,the Holy Bible names a mountain in Jordan"Saer", in some texts, and other texts names another mountain in Palastine "Saer" in the land of Joseu (Joshu ,15:20)
The scientists of the Holy Book who discussed the previous prophecy confine the word " Seir" to a mountain in Jordan , but I think – and no one will disagree with me - that if someone goes out from Egypt ,going in the direction of Palestine , will have to pass by "Paran " first which is located in the north of Sinai before passing by " Sa'er" whether it is located in Palastine or Jordn !!!!
(3) In fact , Paran , as it is a name of Meca , it is a name of a wilderness near Sinai ,this wilderness is known as " the valley of Feran "and also it is a name of a village near Semarang . After making extra research on the Web , I came to the conclusion that "Paran " is also is another known town in the country of Bhran in the Arabian peninsula and also it is a name to a star cluster in our galaxy –The Milky Way
Studying the old maps that was made by AL-Adressy , we have found that Paran is a name to a place near Aswan . Any way , the text of Torah gives us the advantage of knowing the intended place exactly . The Holy Book(Genesis 25:16-18) shows that Ishmael and his sons dwelled in a place that extended from Havilah to Shur . "These are the sons of Ishmael, ……..And they dwelt from Havilah unto Shur, that is before Egypt "(Genesis 25:16-18). The Dictionary of the Holy Bible says that Havilah is a town in the land of Yemen and Shur is a land in the north of Egypt and in the south of Palestine . The Holy Book started with mentioning Havilah before Shur and this emphasizes the fact that this place was the cradle of their birth as nation and they spread moving to the north area till they reached Shur in the south of Palastine . So we can conclude that Ishmael and his sons dwelled in these towns that extended to the south and the north of Hegaz . The Historic proofs testify what we have we already mentioned ;building the Holy House and gushing out Zamzem well under the feet of Ishmael are among these proofs . This emphasizes that Paran where Isamael lived is the wilderness that includes Meca .Historians , such as Gyroum and the theological historian Yousepious acknowledged this fact .
(4) That fact That Abraham and Ishmael built the Holy Mosque is historically authenticated and the news of this fact passed down from a generation to another and no one opposed to it . Also the story of Abrah is well-known , that tyranny who came to demolish the Holy Ka'ba but God protected His House by sending against them flights of Birds, striking them with stones of baked clay – This story is historically authenticated and no doubt about it because it happened at the time of " Abou Taleb " The grandfather of the prophet " –in this year , prophet Mohummed was born and that year was called " The year of Elephant " after this incident . It was only forty years since that story happened that it was revealed in the Holy Quran. A lot of the people of the Book were contemporaneous to this great event and they were contemporaneous to the revelation concerning this event in the holy Quran , no one objected or denied ,so this matter is historically settled and authenticated and it is beyond any discussion .
(5) In the second century AD , Montos claimed that he was the expected Paraclet , and so did Mani in the fourteenth century and he imitated Jesus . He chose twelve disciples and seventy bishops and sent them to the eastern towns , if the early Christians had understood that the Paraclets is the Holy Ghost , they would not have dared to make such a claim – or even occurred to their minds to do so .
In his book that talks about how Christianity came into being , Edoin Johnson , said " the text that talks about the Parclet is a glad-tidings of Mohummed and that the Christian mistakingly and ignorantly interpolated this text after the advent of Islam and after being influenced by its Islamic culture.
(6) For further historic readings about the mountain of Sela, consult the dictionary of Mo'agm Al-Bouldan (rendered in English dictionary of towns 3/286) and the book of Al-Raheik AL-Maktoum (rendered in English the sealed nectar 333) , Wafaa Al-Wafa (4:1235) , Amadat Al_Akhbar (337) Tareikh Malem Al_Madina
(7) The previous text is consistent with Mohummed and his messages because all the qualities are consistent with him and it can't be correspondent with any one but him , The text is strongly is consistent with prophet Mohummed and with the same strength it is inconsistent with prophet Jesus , as the qualities can't be corresponded with Jesus …in spite of these , it is mentioned in the Bible of Methew that the previous text is about Jesus. It is narrated with Methew ( 12:17) " That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying," : Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall shew judgment to the Gentiles" ( Mthew 12:17,18) James Version
It seems to me that the Arabic writer of the Bible found himself in awkward situation when he used the word " my servant " in Isaiah , so he replaced it with my the word "my boy" in Methew " The English version still keep the word " My servant "
So now is there any one who dare to deny that the Bibles are not displaced ?
Having read the previous prophecies , won't they accept the Holy Quran ?
Or are their hearts still locked up ?
(8) For further reading , read the book of Al-Rhik Al-Makhtoum , page (415) ?
(9) The whole of the story is mentioned in Bokhary Book ,The Book of the prophet in (1/447)
(10) I think the sentence (the abundance of the sea shall be turned to you, the wealth of the nations shall come to you..) in the Holy Book refers to the tremendous petroleum deposit lying beneath the Red Sea and the Arabian Gulf , which has changed the Arabian Peninsula from barren land to a lofty rich land that are filled with wealth .
(11) The same quality is mentioned in Isaiah , it talks about the new God's land and another prophet in the end of time , this prophecy refers to the material power that will support this prophet besides the spiritual prophecy and guiding people , these both are in all the texts too .
Is this a coincidence too ?
