It is a common belief for the Muslim masses that the Bible (the Jewish and Christian holy books) contain many prophecies about prophet Muhammad. This is not just a belief of public relations by any means. Many intellectuals and Muslim apologetics have such a belief. This belief, as the reader will see shortly, is baseless. It is no more than a day-dreaming incident for the Muslim apologetic, and a bad one indeed. In this article I present to the reader the Islamic claims in regard to this matter as presented by one of the Muslim apologetics living in the west; Dr. Jamal Badawi. The Qur'an states:
Those who follow the Apostle, the unlettered Prophet, Whom they find mentioned in their own Scriptures, in the Torah and the Gospel... (Holy Qu'ran: VII - 157; Translation: Yusif Ali)
So, it seems, all Muslims have to believe such a claim- that Muhammad was mentioned in the Bible. Since the word "Muhammad" is not mentioned in the Bible, it is imperative that Muslim apologetics look for some "word" in the Bible, and claim that that word signifies the prophet of Islam-Muhammad. Dr. Jamal Badawi is no genius by any means. He is not an honest researcher either, and this matter will become apparently clear by the end of this very article. Muhammad, Badawi claims, is the Paraclete in the Bible. This claim is not new to me. I grew up in the Middle East. Muslims who have no academic training or education whatsoever used to announce this fact to me with utmost confidence. This mass ignorance does not come from a vacuum. The so-called scholars of Islam encourage this sharade of idiocy through their writings. Jamal Badawi asserts this about Muhammad being the Paraclete - [paragraph numbers were added by Ibn Kammuna] (http://www.islamicity.com/Mosque/Muhammad_Bible.HTM):THAT PROPHET- PARACLETE- MUHAMMAD
•1. Up to the time of Jesus (peace be upon him), the Israelites were still awaiting for that prophet like unto Moses prophecied in Deuteronomy 18:18. When John the Baptist came, they asked him if he was Christ and he said "no". They asked him if he was Elias and he said "no". Then, in apparent reference to Deuteronomy 18:18, they asked him "Art thou that Prophet" and he answered, "no". (John 1: 1 9-2 1).
•2. In the Gospel according to John (Chapters 14, 15, 16) Jesus spoke of the "Paraclete" or comforter who will come after him, who will be sent by Father as another Paraclete, who will teach new things which the contemporaries of Jesus could not bear. While the Paraclete is described as the spirit of truth, (whose meaning resemble Muhammad's famous title Al-Amin, the trustworthy), he is identified in one verse as the Holy Ghost (John 14:26). Such a designation is however inconsistent with the profile of that Paraclete. In the words of the Dictionary of the Bible, (Ed. J. Mackenzie) "These items, it must be admitted do not give an entirely coherent picture."
•3. Indeed history tells us that many early Christians understood the Paraclete to be a man and not a spirit. This might explain the followings who responded to some who claimed, without meeting the criteria stipulated by Jesus, to be the awaited "Paraclete".
•4. It was Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) who was the Paraclete, Comforter, helper, admonisher sent by God after Jesus. He testified of Jesus, taught new things which could not be borne at Jesus' time, he spoke what he heard (revelation), he dwells with the believers (through his well-preserved teachings). Such teachings will remain forever because he was the last messenger of God, the only Universal Messenger to unite the whole of humanity under God and on the path of PRESERVED truth. He told of many things to come which "came to pass" in the minutest detail meeting, the criterion given by Moses to distinguish between the true prophet and the false prophets (Deuteronomy 18:22). He did reprove the world of sin, of righteousness and of judgement (John 16:8-11)
Let us analyze what Dr. Badawi is saying Paragraph number 1 uses a verse from the old testament (Deuternomy 18:18) to establish an indirect claim about Muhammad. Well, let us see what that verse says: King James Version - 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. One does not need to be a theologian to see that there is nothing in that verse telling about Muhammad. In fact, if one reads FFI challenge, it will become apparent that if anything, the above verse will never apply to Muhammad. How can such a verse apply to a leader of a gang of robbers who massacred about seven hundred adult men of Bani Qurayze in one day? How can such a verse apply to a looter and an assassin? How can such a verse apply to a man who prayed his Fajr prayer then attacked the peaceful farmers of Khayber? The second verse that Dr. Badawi mentions is (John 1: 19-21). Here are the verses: King James Version 19. And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou? 20. And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ. 21. And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not. Art thou that prophet? And he answered, No. Did you see it in verse 20? The context of the talk with John the Baptist is him being questioned if he was Jesus Christ; the awaited savior. But what did Dr. Badawi do? He ignored that completely, and claims that such verses lead toward Muhammad. Now, I am not a theologian. But it is evident to me that John 1:19-21 is talking about Jesus Christ, and not about Muhammad. The reader can see that clearly in verse 20 above. It's right there in black and white. I am an academic researcher myself, and Dr. Badawi's research behavior raises many issues and questions in my mind. I find it highly improbable that Dr. Badawi did not see and read verse 20 above, when he himself is using verses 19-21 to show that Muhammad was foretold in the bible. It is evident that Badawi is not a competent researcher. He is not an honest researcher either. An honest researcher takes the raw facts first, then moves on to analyze and/or synthesize his/her findings. In fact, I can claim with confidence here that Dr. Jamal Badawi is no more than a liar. In any case, let us move on The second paragraph above talks about chapters 14 through 16 of the gospel of John. Those three chapters talk about the "holy spirit". However, Mr. Badawi twists the facts, and claims that we are talking about prophet Muhammad. The "spirit of truth". according to Badawi, is Muhammad. Now, I do not know how a man like Muhammad can be called the spirit of truth. How can you call a person truthful if he lied and instructed his followers to lie? How can you call Muhammad truthful when he broke many treaties? In fact Muhammad's Hudaibiya treaty was supposed to last ten years. Muhammad broke it in the second year and took over Mecca. Muhammad was anything but a spirit of truth. What Dr. Badawi needs to do is go to Christian sites to see how Christians understand their books. When I try to understand certain Qur'anic verses, I go to Islamic sites and Qur'anic Tafsirs. Don't Biblical verses deserve a similar treatment? And, again, it is apparent that Dr. Badawi is an incompetent researcher. Let us move on to the third paragraph This paragraph contains a grand claim by Dr. Badawi that is not supported by any references, quotes, or any piece of evidence. As such, this claim is no more than mere nonsense in a supposedly "research" article. Let us move to the fourth paragraph This paragraph has grand claims also. Badawi just claims that Muhammad is the Paraclete. Muhammad is the only Universal Messenger to unite the whole of humanity under God and on the path of PRESERVED truth. I do not know how Dr. Badawi knows that. He did not supply much evidence to such grand claims. How is Muhammad "the only Universal Messenger"? How is Muhammad to unite all humanity? All Muhammad did is loot, kill rape, steal, and divide people into two camps the Muslims and the Kafirs. He also divided the world into two houses: the house of war (Dar Al-Harb) and the house of peace (Dar Al-Salam). So, pretty much what Muhammad brought is division of people and division of lands, and honoring evil actions. How is that to be the path of Preserved Truth, and how is Muhammad the Universal Messenger, are matters left to Mr. Badawi to enlighten us about. I find Badawi's fourth paragraph very disturbing indeed. He is supposed to be a researcher looking for the truth. Yet, his last paragraph reveals an incompetent researcher who pronounces statements unsupported by evidence, and makes grand claims that are contrary to the facts. Finally, I find it very appropriate to quote the great human being Ali Sina in ending my article here. After all, Mr. Badawi is a Muslim apologetic who lives in the west. It is high time for Muslim apologetics living in the west to leave Islam, and embrace humanity. It is time for them to leave this giant lie of a cult behind. Their efforts do not serve any purpose but prolong the cult of death-Islam. Hence, My quote from Dr. Sina applies perfectly to Dr. Badawi and his elk (http://www.faithfreedom.org/2009/03/14/3727/):If you are worried about the Muslim intellectuals finding the portrayal of their prophet in our site insulting, they better use some of their intellect, learn the truth about Islam and stop this stupidity. People are being killed every day for Muslim intellectuals to continue with their intellectual masturbation about how the Quran predicted scientific discoveries. It is these so called intellectuals that are prolonging the life of this cult of dead. It is time for them to face the truth that Islam is a giant lie and a dangerous cult. It is time for these Muslim intellectuals to pull their heads out of the sand of Arabian desert and end this stupidity and these bloodsheds.
Dear Ibn Kammuna... May God
Dear Ibn Kammuna...
May God Bless you...
nice artical..
well it is clearly written
King James Version - 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.(Deuternomy 18:18)
any one can see tht it is written from you Brothers...
so if i'm muslim thn my Brother should be muslim...
if i'm Christian thn my Brother should b Christian(and he is as he is Pastor now and serving GOD)
and if i'm Jewish thn my Brother should b Jewish...
So Moses was jewish and JESUS was Jewish too...
but on other hand according to This verse...
prophet Mohammed(PBUH)was not Jewish...so this verse isnt set correctly...
so this is the real misleading...
and if we talk ab8 the Holy SPIRIT,,,,,thn it is written in the Gospels....tht it will live wid you forever...
bt ProPhet Mohammed(PBUH) is not There..
so its ab8 understand..
its easy to wake some one who is sleeping...
bt it is really difficult to wake some one who is already wake..
same happens to thm..
every schloar try to impose his translation..bt they are and able to tht...
best of luck to all of thm..
and try to make one day a Prayer day...
it should ba Prayer Chain...
so we all should get some time to Pray for our brother and sisters...who dont Bleive JESUS the SON of God and the Saviour....
i think it should b a good idea...
agains nice artical
God Bless u
Thank you Ibn Kammuna for
Thank you Ibn Kammuna for the article. This has a particular impact on me because a few years ago a Muslim friend of mine showed me a verse from a book written by a Muslim author. That verse says as follows:
"It is he who coming after me , is preferred before me, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to loose."
He said that the above verse was told by Jesus about forth coming Mohammad. Since I did not know much about the Bible and about Mohammad at that time, I did not argue with him. However I repeatedly asked him " Do you believe Jesus was not worthy to untie the shoe lace of Mohammad? He replied 'Yes", "Yes"
Now I know it was a lie or miss understanding. In John chapter 1,verse 24-25, It was John the Baptist said about Jesus.
Your article and this incident shows that Muslims are desperately need some acknowledgment of Mohammad in the Bible.

Islam is very funny-- read the following--
http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Circumcision-no-longer-acid-test-to-i...
"“acid test” cops and officials used to determine whether any of the dead ones was Indian was to check whether the man had been circumcised. If not, they would summarily dub him Hindu and therefore an Indian agent."
"It appears that many in the backward tribal areas of the country like Waziristan don’t undergo the mandatory circumcision that all Muslim males should undergo. The story took a rather comic turn when some of government’s own injured paramilitary soldiers, when examined, were found to be uncircumcised. This was especially true of wounded soldiers of the Frontier Constabulary from Waziristan, engaged in fighting Taliban militants."
I wonder : How Islamic the Taliban Muslims are???
I doubt if Islamic pigs can find male circumcision and Female genital mutilation mentioned in Bible or Torah.

There is so much hatred here on this web site against moslems, it worries me as a moslem, Iam amazed and also scared at the hatred spewed at us the moslems, even when most or many of us are peaceful and law abiding.A few misguided people calling themselves slaves of allah are discrediting the peaceful religion called islam.By and large we moslems are peaceful,truthful, honest,hard working,kind hearted, jovial, law abiding,industrious,educated, intelligent, jew loving, handsome and nice blokes.
Why do people hate us????

That's the reason why people hate you, being a Muslim you love, you love peace ( and not piss) you are truthful, educated ( I suppose not Madrassa education LOL)last but not the least you are honest , hard working and have the evil organ called heart.
Now tell us why should not we hate you as a bad Muslim??

You have got to be kidding. Asking such a question, why people hate Muslims. Why are you in a religion that calls people apes and pigs, a religion that allows beating women, a religion that sanctions killing all non-Muslims and makes it a religious necessity.
If infidels said that god told them to kill all Muslims, what would you think.
Islam is a racist, vile cult of insane words. Satanic verses is what Islam is and as A Muslim you agree with allah's insane words. If you claim to be a peaceful Muslims you only fool yourself. There were peaceful KKK, NAZI but they belonged to an evil organization. Both believe as Islam does. Hate all who didnt believe as they do. Kill them if necessary.
The Bible never said anything about Muhammad except being a false prophet.
He denied Jesus died which makes him a false prophet. If Muhammad was a false prophet, then you are an insane person for following this Satanic cult. Allah said he was the EVIL Sura 3:54. sorry not

Because we allow men to marry multiple wives, we make it easy for the man to escape rape accusation and live to rape another day while the woman pays a morbid price, we absolutely encourage extra-marital affairs through our right hands, we get two folds of what a woman get from inheritance, we are misogynists to the core and generally generous to men because our prophet was a man and decided on the rules, how cool and equitable are our laws..
It seems all the comments
It seems all the comments (including that of mine) deviating from the main topic, where the author Kammuna wanted to emphasize on the greatness and glory of Christianity( with it's old testicles) over evil Islam. LOL
#14 Not true. No one keeps
#14 Not true. No one keeps the OT or Law of Moses. People who understand the words of God, would have sense enough to realize that the new covenant came with Jesus and those old Laws are obsolete. The Bible says the Tutor has arrived, therefore the Law was no longer needed.
Christianity if glorious, not Christendom which you have an aversion too. I do too as I do Islam. Whereas Muslims obey Allah by killing, sexing kids, murder, FGM, honor killing, Christendom didnt. The Bible never told Christians to kill anyone, beat their wives, do slavery, or interfaith. JESUS DIED FOR MANKIND, MANKIND DIES FOR MUHAMMAD.
Thanks Ibn Kammuna for a good
Thanks Ibn Kammuna for a good reasoned response to the Islamic lies.
Plus the message of Christ versus Mohammad could not be more stark. Thus the God of the Jews would never endorse the Islamic view of justice.
Muhammed was not the paraclet
Muhammed was not the paraclet mentioned in the Bible and the early Christians believed the paraclet meant the Holy Spirit. In fact the early Christians believed the second coming of Jesus and armageddon was near and tried to prepare for the event, not the coming of Muhammed.
Excellent article.
With regard to main
With regard to main article:
1. Agree with Poma: Moses's 'brethren' are the Jews. Ishmael (from whom Arabs claim descent is only half-brother and in Bible is 'cast out' and 'has no portion' with Moses' inheritance. Therefore Mo disqualified.
2. If Moslems take this line ask "who sent Mo?" When they say "Allah" point out that Jesus says that HE will send the Paraclete, so if Mo not sent by Jesus not Paraclete. Therefore Mo disqualified.
3. What Christians and where? Not even the Apocryphal Gospels (I have a complete set including 'Judas') make this claim! So claim almost certainly pure fabrication.
4. Apart from fact that Mo dead and Paraclete alive with Christians, apart from fact that were Mo the Paraclete, Koran can't be (therefore Muslims contradict themselves), apart from the fact that Jesus also said the Father will send You (= disciples) the Paraclete and Mo +630 years; when all the verses are taken into context, a personified spirit not a human being.
Furthermore, Badawi obviously has forgotten the "Great Commission" - to the disciples to (to paraphrase) convert the world, not to mention the events of Pentecost.
I won't even bother with comparisons of the (let's be polite about it!) flawed Mo with the perfection of Jesus and the Paraclete/Holy Spirit.
A Central theme in Christianity: God's UNconditional love for us sinners.
A Central theme in Islam: Allah's love for those that do good.
(cab't be bothered to list supporting verses/ayats - too many of each!)
Thus in Christianity God's love is freely given, in Islam it has to be earned. Which would you rather have?
Muslims teach that even the
Muslims teach that even the biblical protagonists were really Allah worshipping Muslims, and that the Jews distorted the Koran, which is why God is angry at them.
Thus, Islam retroactively hijacks Judaism in its sinister imperialistic scheme to be the Only True Religion.

Oh respect to mohammad????
Oh respect to mohammad???? Right the rasool who taught how to screw a child aged 6, how to beat wives lightly with a stick, not leaving a mark on the face, the pedophile who taught how to kill kafirs by smiting them on their necks, the rasool who slept with his own daughter and showed the momeens the way forward? The rasool who was a nut case through and through, has to be respected, not only by kafirs but also by jews, whom the rasool calls apes and pigs.Think of a more deluded mind? Not possible at all.
I wonder how ibrahim put up with such stupid people all around him?
Hebrew bible/ Jesus was an armaic jew and spoke armaic language that later gave the hebrew.
The moslems of the indian variety need their butts kicked in.
Muhammad is definitely
Muhammad is definitely mentioned in the Bible in many places. Absolutely no argument about it.
1. In the Book of Genesis he is the talking, crawling Satanic snake who tempted Eve.
2. In the Book of Revelation he is the 666 the mark of the Beast and the Anti-Christ.
I am sure our more learned Biblical scholars can supply many more examples.
#22 Muhammad was not
#22 Muhammad was not mentioned in the Bible unless you call a faLSE PROPHET AS BEING mUHAMMAD.Jesus had no even come and Muhammad was mentioned in Deut. HOW INSANE! Muhammad and Satan allah never thought of the intelligence of the infidels who used their god given intellect to create the internet the Mooslims are using. Apparently allah didnt like the Muslims, because they have never created a thing. When a Muslims was able to create anything it was under the rule and education of the infidels. Then they try to say that Muslims invented thing when they didnt. We have books and education and phones and TVs, radio, internet, and Muslims will be crushed today. They cannoit lie, and the terrorizism will not work for much longer. People are tired of this Islamic crap of lies. Allah said terrorize infidels but today the infidels will terrorize you back and with more terror. Somalia is a start. Obama had no choice, now the Muslims will die because of the fools making more fools with AK-47s. This is so sad for the African Arabs to be used to wrongly. bOYS WHO NEED TO BE IN SCHOOL, OUT SEEKING FORTUNES BY PIRATING. Even the American elite are tired and the appeasement is over. Blacks in America are learning how evil and vile Islam is and the women said no to FGM, stoning and the STUPID Burqua.

Methinks that Mr. Sina have been to the Island of Malsi. That was a strange Island indeed. People walked on their hands instead of their feet. They ate the egg shell after boiling the egg, and threw out the rest in the trash. They called black white, and white black. But they all were slave to a mad Island king. The king's name was Dammahum. His name stemmed from the arabic word "Damma" which means "said bad things about. "hum" translates to "them". So, their king's name was "saying ugly things about the people in that island". I have no idea why they let that sharlatan to be their king. His face was ugly too. Peace to all

Hi Poma, I think we are
Hi Poma,
I think we are agreeing here. Even if teh Muslims are right about the "corruption" of the Old and New Testaments (which they ain't - as the Dead Sea Scrolls proved btw), I certainly prefer the "corrupt" Bible to the "pure" Koran.
I tend to agree with you about the gods of Bible and Koran too.
Although since there is only ONE GOD (and Jews, Christians, Muslims and many other religions agree - ultimately - on this) then the 'Allah' (which simply means "The God" in Arabic btw) of the Muslims and the Judeo-Christian 'JHWH' must be the same.
The Problem is that (at least some) Muslims so pervert the nature and worship of God, that it is reasonable to conclude that they do not worship God at all, but their own false-god of violence, hatred etc.
Rationalt, Marie:
.Matthew 5:18 “Until Heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass away from the law, UNTIL ALL IS ACCOMPLISHED".
All was accomplished on the cross and throught the resurrection. He did not say "... until the World has ended."
(Remember, Jesus can speak from an 'eternal' perspective rather than a purely human one.)
Thus Jesus summarised "all the law and the Prophets" in the 'law of love' (love God and your neighbour as yourself), which starts (essentially) with the Jewish 'Shema' and appends the bit about one's neighbour. this led to the parable of 'The Good Samaritan' - i.e. your neighbour is the person you most hate/despise.
