MOHAMMED IN THE BIBLE
The prophecies of Prophet Mohammed (Peace Be
Upon Him) can be found in the Old and New
Testaments as mentioned in the Holy Quran
(7:157):
"Those who follow the Messenger, the unlettered
Prophet, whom they find mentioned in their own
(Scriptures), in the Law and the Gospel; for he
commands them what is just andforbids them
what is evil; he allows them as lawful what is
good and prohibits them from what is bad: He
releases them from their heavy burdens and from
the yokes that are upon them. So it is those who
believe in him, honor him, help him, and follow
the Light which is sent down with him, it is they
who will prosper. "I will reference and support two prophecies in the
Bible that apply to none except Prophet
Mohammed.
1. Old Testament - This prophecy which was
addressed to Moses said that God will send among
the "brethren" of the Israelites a prophet like
Moses who will be a founder, a leader, and an
exemplar of a community of believers.5 Read
Deuteronomy 18:18-20:
"I will raise up for them a prophet like you
from among their brethren and 1 will put my
words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them
all that I command him. And whoever will not
give heed to My Words which he shall speak in
My name, 1 Myself will require it of him."
Christians will surely say that this prophecy is
referring to Jesus. No, it was Prophet Mohammed,
not Jesus, who like Moses was born from ordinary
parents, got married, founded a faithful
community, established a great law and died a
natural death.5 The brethren of the Israelites
(descendants of Abraham through Isaac) are
Ishmaelites (descendants of Abraham through
Ishmael). Jesus is excluded from this prophecy
because he is an Israelite; otherwise the verse
would read, "a Prophet from among themselves."
Let's compare a few crucial characteristics of
Moses, Mohammed and Jesus which may clarify
the identity of that prophet "like you (Moses)"
who was to come which was taken from Christian Muslim
Dialogue, 1984, page 40:

2. Now the prophecy in the New Testament that
refers to Prophet Mohammed. Read John 14:16:
"And I will pray to the Father, and He shall
give you another Comforter, that he may abide
with you forever."
This verse clearly states that another, a different
one, an additional one, but of the same kind, yet
distinctly different from the first ll would be sent
based on the prayer of Jesus. The million dollars
question is, who is the first Comforter?"!!
The Christian world would unanimously say that
this Comforter (or Helper, which is now being
added) is the Holy Spirit or Holy Ghost,
depending upon which Bible you read, and is only
supported by John 14:26 which says:
"But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost,
whom the Father will send in my name..."
However, John 14:26 and John 14:16 contradict
each other; in that, if 14:16 says another
Comforter would be sent, then 14:26 is saying that
the other one to be sent is the Holy Spirit/Ghost.
This would mean that a total of two (2) Holy
Spirits/Ghosts would have been sent. The usage of
the word another in John 14:16 means that one
already existed.
Concerning another Holy Ghost to be sent, some
Christians would defend this by saying the Holy
Ghost was not on earth yet. Well, there are
numerous instances in the Bible about the coming
and going of the Holy Ghost before the birth and
departure of the Messiah: Luke 1:15 (John the
Baptist), Luke 1:41 (Elizabeth), Luke 1:67
(Zachariah), Luke 2:26 (Simeon), Luke 3:22
(Jesus).!!
The Holy Ghost was helping Jesus in his ministry
and helping his disciples on their missions of
preaching and healing. If there is still any doubt
about the workings of the Holy Ghost, then please
read John 20:21-22:
" .•. as my Father hath sent me even so I send
you, And when he had said this, he breathed on
them, and said unto them, receive ye the Holy
Ghost."!!
Remember, at this time Jesus had not departed the
earth yet. So in order for the Comforter to come,
Jesus said he would have to go away as stated in
John 16:7:
"Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your
advantage that I 'go away; for if I do not go
away, the Comforter wilL not come to you; But
if I depart, I will send him to you."
Moreover, John 14:26 contradict other explicit
predictions of Jesus on the subject of the
Comforter. Note, there are no other verses in the
Bible, other than John 14:26, where it is
mentioned that Jesus called the Holy Spirit/Ghost
"he." In all other verses of the Bible, the Holy
Spirit/Ghost is called or identified as simple the
Holy Spirit/Ghost. If we read John 14:26
carefully, we can see that by inserting the words
"which is the Holy Ghost," the writer is leading
the reader to a conclusion. The same is done in
John 14:22 by inserting the comment "not
Iscariot."
Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, "Lord, how
is it that thou will...the world."
To further support that the word "comforter" is
not referring to the Holy Ghost, did you know that
the word "comforter" is the English translation of
the Greek word "periclytos" which is almost a
literal translation of the Aramaic or Hebrew word
"Mahamana" used by Jesus himself, and which
correlates with the name Mohammed,9 the last
Prophet to come before the second coming of
Jesus? Also, in New Testament Greek version, the
word "spirit" has also been applied to an inspired
person, "the possessor of a spiritual
communication" or revelation. The one who
becomes overwhelmed with a divine revelation is
himself termed a "spirit". 14
Other verses that mentions the Comforter are John
15:26:
"But when the Comforter comes, who I will
send to you from the Father, the Spirit of Truth
who proceeds from the Father, he will testify of
me,"
Now John 16:12-14 which is the most
comprehensive picture of Prophet Mohammed and
Islam:
"I still have many things to say to you, but you
cannot bear them now. However, when he, the
Spirit of Truth (the Comforter) comes, he will
guide you into all truth; for he will not speak on
his authority, but whatever he hears, he will
speak; and he will tell you things to come. He
will glorify me for he will take of what is mine
and declare it to you."
These characteristics of the Comforter are
applicable only to Prophet Mohammed, as the
following observations will show:
1. The Quran mentions the name Jesus twenty
(20) more times than the name of Prophet
Mohammed.ll The Jews called Jesus an
impostor and accused his mother of
immorality. They even tried to crucify him.5
Prophet Mohammed considered Jesus as a
great Prophet, and the Quran calls him "~
word of God." The Quran attribute to Jesus
a miracle that is not mentioned in the Bible.
The miracle occurred when Jesus spoke as a
baby from the cradle. However, if you view
the Jesus of Nazareth story that is shown
during the Christmas and Easter holidays,
you will hear this miracle mentioned in the
story. Where did they get this miracle
from? This miracle is only mentioned in the
Quran when Mary's chastity was
questioned:
UBut she (Mary) pointed to the babe. They
said, "How can we talk to one who is a
child in the cradle? He (Baby Jesus) said,
"I am indeed a servant of God: He hath
given me revelation and made me a
prophet: And He hath made me blessed
wheresoever I be, and hath enjoined on me
prayer and zakat as long as I live; (He hath
made me) kind to my mother, and not
overbearing or unblest; So Peace is on me
the day I was born, the day that I die, and
the day that I shall be raised up to life
(again)"/(Quran 19:29-33).
Also, in Islam, Mary the mother of Jesus is
considered the most chaste woman and the
best of all women in paradise. Thus did
Mohammed really glorify Jesus.5 In
addition, there is even a chapter (Sura) in
the Quran named after Mary (Maryam), and
her name is mentioned 14 more times in the
Quran than in the Bible (32/18).11
2. The Quran was revealed to Prophet
Mohammed through the angel Gabriel.
When the angel Gabriel finished reciting
parts of the Quran, Prophet Mohammed
used to convey verbatim to his companions
what he heard from the angel without
adding, changing or forgetting anything.S
(Note: The angel Gabriel visited Prophet
Mohammed once a year during the Holy
lIlonth of Ramadan (Fasting), and twice
during the last year of his life to confirm the
text of the Quran.) The Quran also describes
Prophet Mohammed by saying:
"Nor does he say (aught) of (his own)
Desire. It is no less than Inspiration sent
down to him." (Quran 53:3-4).
If we compare verses 53:3-4 of the Quran with
John 16:13; "He will not speak on his own
authority," you will see the similarity between
this characteristic of the Comforter and that of
Prophet Mohammed.
3. Prophet Mohammed was the only
messenger that came after Jesus. There was
a period of six centuries between them.
Jesus' mission was limited to the "lost sheep
of the children of Israel," but Mohammed's
message was a universal message for all
people (Gentiles and Samaritans included).
Only Prophet Mohammed's message was
intended by God to be a universal and an
everlasting message.
